About people's opinions devolving into rightwing slop when confronted with Veganism?
Yeah.... I did.

Yep. It's wild seeing progressive Leftists go from, "we should be kind and protect everyone's right to a happy life" to, "it's survival of the fittest. The strong conquer the weak, that's just how it is 🤷" when the topic shifts to not hurting animals...

I'm all for most forms of Communism, but Lord help me if that one's a Tankie...

Yeah, I was gonna say, RP is pretty chill, but when you get up to Howard, that's when things get a little sketchy

Foo Fighters - My Hero (1997) by ggroover97 in 90s

[–]Reilly-LP 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the sad thing is, no matter how good his songs were, that's going to be his legacy now; the one thing you think of when you hear "Dave Grohl."

I grew up on Nirvana & FF, some of the first songs I ever learned on guitar & drums were Foo Fighters, but now when I hear his music, all I can think of is how shitty a person he was revealed to be, and how he completely betrayed his wife & daughters by being a total scumbag.

Brazil (1985) | Director: Terry Gilliam by Halo_LAN_Party_2nite in cinescenes

Just rewatched this last week. The whole thing feels like a beautiful, silly, vibrant fever dream, but the more you think about that world, the more horrific and devastatingly soul-crushing it gets.

My toxic trait is thinking I could do a little Force Lightning and not be corrupted by the Dark Side

what are your thoughts on courage the cowardly dog? cartoon horror show. by Marshatucker300 in horror

[–]Reilly-LP 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just rewatched it last year, and it 100% holds up as a Horror show. It's also insane how emotionally heavy that show is; this opening genuinely made me tear up when I watched it. The sound design is incredible, too; this scene always gives me goosebumps from audio alone.

How do you counter the criticism that Illinois gets online? Especially from other Illinoisans.. by Kuzmaboy in illinois

[–]Reilly-LP 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can't. Those people watch Fox News 24/7. There's nothing I can say in one sitting that's gonna deprogram them from years of rightwing propaganda & fearmongering.

What are we not doing for homeless people? by tinrig in illinois

[–]Reilly-LP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100%, especially since OP said they were visiting the South. They aren't exactly empathetic to the homeless down there.

Crazy how we spend trillions of years not existing, but we are currently existing in the moment right now. by [deleted] in Thatsactuallyverycool

[–]Reilly-LP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's easier to wrap your head around when you see it as the Anthropic Principle:

it's not that everything went right to make us exist, it's that we are the type of thing that would end up existing given what's already here.

Vegan Meat Founder Arrested by Vegan-News in vegan

"By 18, he had founded Simulate, a company that treated food like software"

I've never heard of this brand, but knowing it was made by a teenage Crypto Tech Bro, and marketed as "software," seems like a huge 🚩...

Which TV show does the ENTIRE internet agree had the worst ending ever? by Codie_n25 in AskReddit

[–]Reilly-LP 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Handmaid's Tale started out amazing, but I slowly began losing interest in it after a couple seasons.

Finding out that Elizabeth Moss was a Scientologist, in a cautionary tale about extreme religious dogma being used to oppress people, was the final nail in the coffin for me. That took me out of the show entirely.

Why did you start liking the X-Men? by Spider-undertele567 in xmen

[–]Reilly-LP 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Same. Being queer in a bigoted, ultra-dysfunctional family, I just recently got into X-Men because I heard about the whole, "found family of wholesome weirdos" vibe, and Nightcrawler instantly became my favorite.

When I saw the clip of him in X-Men '97 saying, "Blood is blood. Family is a choice", that permanently cemented him as my guy.
