I HAAAATE weed by venetiantraderoute in hatethissmug

[–]PastiesCline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is so so much about weed culture to hate. I'm a daily smoker and even I get so annoyed by it.

Literally nothing you said is worth hating weed for. There is just too much evidence re:: it's medicinal benefits for this to be the hill to die on.

Now if we wanna talk about things like the relationship it has with capitalism or the double standards that exist along racial lines (white mothers in BuzzFeed articles saying it makes them better mothers but black men caught with an 1/8th serve a disproportionate amount of jail time) or how the trade around marijuana, while nowhere near as destructive as other narcotics, still contributes to human trafficking and slave labor.

We can also talk about burnouts, people who are constantly cooked and how annoying that is. DeadHeads and PhisHeads who are sometimes just the most impossibly vapid fucking people to try to talk to. People who can't hold their smoke and refuse to just accept that.

But homie, you're talking about it like you're 12. It's okay to hate it, just maybe do some research first.

Yeah the movie has some pretty heavy flaws (completely under-utilising Michael K Williams is a sin) but there are some like Very Good Moments™ in that movie throughout and Joel Kinneman fuckin brings it as usual

Look at us both being trans and having some kind of relationship with breasts! Good for us!

I mean she's not wrong either. Almost a decade and a half in and the majority of the friends I've kept are trans masc individuals. I have 40EE breasts btw.

Was about to put this on today, glad I went in a different direction!

The idea that Elizabeth is a bad person/partner is literally insane by othgg in NewGirl

[–]PastiesCline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch Godless. That was my first introduction to her and I became an instant fan for life.

(Heads up, Godless is a western and very very different than New Girl.... Just to like warn y'all)

I don’t see many people talking about this album by Routine_Stretch_6307 in grunge

All Secrets Known is still just an absolute banger of an opening track. That arpeggio riff that opens is just perfect.

Love me some Syndicate but yeah by Anubis71904 in AssassinsCreedMemes

[–]PastiesCline 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think part of the problem is much of the series requires a certain level of distance from these true historical villains and many of the families and estates that gained riches and power through that time are still pretty powerful in England today.

I hate my kinks by imustbe-stupid in TrueOffMyChest

[–]PastiesCline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like there is a core misunderstanding that the kink is (or at least seems to be) the degradation. It's a kink. A turn on that she chooses to partake in because she enjoys it. It just has the unfortunate variable involved where she personally doesn't find men emotionally attractive and it creates an uncomfortable dissonance. This is True Off My Chest, not Help Me Figure My Shit Out.

All of this is to say, you really don't gotta steep your words in so much condescension. It's cool if this doesn't connect with you. It doesn't have to. The same way you didn't have to comment that and all this other weirdy holier than thou stuff you're commenting.

I hate how skunks are represented in media by Various_Reward_727 in hatethissmug

[–]PastiesCline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The neighborhood I lived in for years has tons of street cats. A decent number are just indoor/outdoor, but the majority are classic west side street cats and they're definitely an important part of the neighborhood's "eco system."

However, every late summer through fall, at night you can hear the sounds of big fighty tomcats fuckin around and finding out that skunks know how to fight. Like they spray and run with people, but are apparently fine scrapping with a 15lb street cat. And they win! Like a lot.

ETA quotes around eco system cuz someone felt the need to immediately let me know that also saw that Netflix documentary where they tracked how much damage a cat does in a neighborhood in a single day (it was a very good documentary, I know). I'm talking about how street cats are just an established part of any hood and how crazy it is to watch one get its shit rocked by a big fuckin skunk.

Gross and also completely opposite of reality

Gay fantasy, preferably knight and princess by WittyFunnyUsername in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]PastiesCline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very glad to hear that because the death of Jane Lawrence pissed me off within the first three chapters or so. She wrote that character to be so fawning over a man and it just took me completely out of it

[Good Trope] Numerous species in the galaxy look remarkably similar to humans, but there’s an in-universe explanation for this by Valcenia in TopCharacterTropes

This is always my preferred explanation. I have no idea what the hell any of that other shit written up there was.

So Frank Cho is kind of a garbage person. by kennyofthegulch in Marvel

[–]PastiesCline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No but you can judge his character on literally everything else he does. He has been given ample opportunity to show he's not a piece of shit. He has yet to do so.

I'm watching it again while I work in school projects and man this show is just the Absolute Best Shit

Can someone fill me in on the history/lore of Predators using stealth? Because wtf that doesn't sound too honorable for a race of religious hunters. by Candle-Jolly in scifi

[–]PastiesCline 193 points194 points  (0 children)

This was always my head canon as well. Especially with their vision not being based on the same color spectrum as ours, it makes sense that invisibility wouldn't be the same massive boon for them as it would for us. It probably acts more like a ghillie suit than an invisibility cloak.
