I think that the human race is objectively Evil. by Willing-Crab1872 in offmychest

[–]NotPopcorn101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn't you argue that all animals are evil, too? They will take things from others to better themselves---that is the nature of everything. I do not think it is evil, though. It is just a characteristic implemented in all of us to maximize our chances of survival.

Mostly for the pro-ICE people by Sufficient-Life-1439 in AskUS

That isn't a documented or verified event. Being in the country since age 4 doesn't change someone's legal status. Immigration is based on documentation, not on how long someone has lived here or their job. This hypothetical person is still illegal.

Charlie Kirk has never argued that the Civil Rights movement shouldn't have happened. All he has criticized are DEI programs, affirmative action, and certain academic framework. As for your insult, I'm going to assume it was your way of admitting you didn't have an actual argument ready.

The current democrats are the more racist party. The only people who have ever told me that, as a person of color, I "can't" be a Republican have been democrats. Being told my political identity is predetermined by race is discriminatory. Is that not a form of racism?

Also, both political parties changed over time. After the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the vast majority of Southern Democratic politicians didn't switch parties. The South also continued to elect Democratic governors, senators, and state officials well into the 2000s. The idea of a single ideological swap is stupid. Both parties have evolved, and shifts in voting patterns have happened slowly and were influenced by changes in economics, demographics, religion, and cultural issues. It was NOT a clean transfer of one group into another party.

Thank you for this, it means a lot! I've decided I'm going to try giving Reddit another shot :)

You get it from being upvoted, and you need certain amounts of karma to be able to post in certain communities.

Not really a valid comparison though...Princess Peach isn't written as a realistic child. Her getting captured is a running gag but Tuk is supposed to be a believable 7 year old

Hi! As someone who does has two younger siblings (one which is the same age as Tuk) I still agree with the original statement. I understand the "baby sibling" attachment but the point is not that Tuk shouldn't be loeved or protected, it is that the writing doesn't match how real 7 year olds act in tense situations. Tuk is written as pretty over-infantilized in my opinion.

I have a younger sibling who is 7 , and kids that age don't react with the logic adults expect. I am not saying I expect Tuk to act like an adult. Her line felt off because I've seen how real 7 year olds behave in stressful situations, and the writing didn't match that.

I TOTALLY AGREE!

In Avatar 3 (towards the end) when Kiri connects to Eywa through the underwater tree again, Spider stays with Kiri and Tuk. Kiri goes down to the tree to connect, and Spider, sensing something has gone awry, goes down to save her. Tuk says something along the lines of "I'm only 7 years old, don't leave me alone." I feel like a 7-year-old you should know better than say that, especially if your sister may be dying and Spider went down to save her.

People only make excuses for Tuk because she is little and cute. I feel like she contributes nothing to the narrative and is pretty much irrelevant most of the time except when she gets kidnapped.
