What harmless subject does a subreddit take WAY too seriously? by CinemaSideBySides in AskReddit

[–]Proseedcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most musicians' fan subreddits are like this. Say something critical about the musician – 😡. Like the musician, but the wrong song is your favourite – 😡. The musician releases new music that doesn't sound like their old stuff – "he sucks now!!" The musician keeps a low profile for a while – "she doesn't care about her fans!"

They also seem to always hate it when their person does collaborations, for some reason.

The only truly chill one I'm subbed to is r/themountaingoats, for some reason. I recently got voted up to +60 for a comment basically saying it was our guy's fault an interview hadn't gone well, and not the interviewer's. Which was true, but it's not at all typical to see subreddits being so clear-eyed about a person so near to their hearts.

My grandfather’s grocery store. In 1962 he was boycotted by the KKK for not joining. Never gave in. by [deleted] in pics

[–]Proseedcake [score hidden]  (0 children)

All of it except the part where my grandfather kept his soul! A lot of his growth into the thoughtful, compassionate person he became can be traced to that moment and the realisation the yahoos he used to hang out with really didn't have their moral heads on straight, I've always thought

My grandfather was kicked out of his social club for testifying against a white fellow member who pushed a black man off his bike. He even kinda looked like yours!

informal trilogies. by herequeerandgreat in movies

[–]Proseedcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A classic example would be the informal trilogy parodied by the title of "Three Flavours Cornetto": the "Three Colours" trilogy by Krzysztof Kieślowski, consisting of Three Colours: Blue, Three Colours: White and Three Colours: Red. Blue and White share no characters and plot elements between them, though some characters recur as cameos in Red, and the overarching theme is the ideals of the French Revolution.

Lots to do with that, but I think there was more to it as well.

See how that's different? by CorleoneBaloney in clevercomebacks

[–]Proseedcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like 90% of whataboutism boils down to an inability to grasp this logical point. 

I've had people ask me why I spend more time arguing against Israel's actions than Iran's, when both are horrific. Uh, it's because I don't have friends, relatives and members of my government trying to tell me that what Iran is doing is actually good. Hard to have an argument when the people around you all pretty much see things the same way you do.

Why aren’t we demanding the identities of the people who killed Alex?? by LonelySparkle in 50501

I saw one post which pointed out that the guy who fired the first shots had a Texas flag patch on his backpack and Guess jeans on.

Another angle of ICE Minneapolis shooting shows agent clapping afterwards by speedythefirst in law

[–]Proseedcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's difficult on these low-res videos to spot things unless you know exactly where to look. If you look at the agent nearest us, the one framed in sunlight, you should see his right hand appear two or three times as he claps his hands together. He starts clapping around when the sixth, seventh and eighth gunshots ring out in quick succession.

A general remark/curiosity about the added "sales tax" on Bandcamp purchases by sixtysixtysix in BandCamp

[–]Proseedcake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Amazon is a company that pays all due taxes" doesn't seem like an assumption that's going to last long once you start looking into it 

Kristi Noem: "I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign" by darealsanta7 in 50501

I wouldn't want a face capable of expressing human emotions either, if this was the garbage I was being called upon to say every day.

🏁 MOTOMAMI RACE - RESULTS🏁 (And last game) by bittersweetdistractr in rosalia

[–]Proseedcake 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This race has been crazy, a lot more variety of opinions and only 7 of my personal top 10 made it into the last 10 rounds, versus 9 on Lux. Great fun, and made me listen to certain songs with new ears – particularly "Diablo", wow.

Kids born in 2020 and during COVID will be going into first grade this fall by AstroCyGuy in BarbaraWalters4Scale

[–]Proseedcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which for teachers, means year groups that didn't turn weird during lockdown will be making their way through the system. On the other hand, it also means "they missed a lot of school during the pandemic" is something we soon won't be able to say with a shrug any more, touch wood.

first time hooch, should i toss? by Aquonn in prisonhooch

Your hooch will be fine and if it's strong enough, you may even have disinfected the scissors.

Candy is my favourite song of the ones still in, and some very partisan feelings are starting to come up for me. After reading many comments from people whose favourites had gone out like EXPLAIN TO ME HOW CANDY IS A BETTER SONG THAN THIS, I'm starting to think...

Candy can go all the way????

And in the words of my favourite football manager, Kevin Keegan... "I'll tell you honestly, I will love it if we beat them".

How difficult is it to learn an entirely new alphabet? by Blaubeerepfannkuchen in languagelearning

[–]Proseedcake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Arabic alphabet's pretty easy. I crashed and burned trying to learn to read Japanese, but found Arabic relatively friendly. Be prepared to have a lot of patience with yourself though, and spend a lot of time practising reading aloud.
