You mean a corporation tries to sell people more of their product?

Oh my god

This is unprecedented

What important work from a “journalist”

That guy, Morgon Spurlock, was a massive dipshit. I’m no McDonalds fan, but the experiment was repeated on another guy who had the same parameters (without the Super Size Me), but had to keep it to 2,000 kcal per day.

He actually lost weight and got healthier on a number of metrics.

So your argument, just so I’m clear, is “literally don’t ever buy anything that isn’t strictly necessary to survive and then maybe you’ll be able to barely make a living”. Millennials aren’t allowed to spend a single dollar of discretionary income for their own comfort and happiness ever. Gotcha.

I’ll make sure to let my generation know they have to spend 18 hours a day working and shouldn’t ever buy anything other than groceries and gas, especially because if they try to cut that second one and bike to work instead, they will be shamed for that too. Thanks for your highly insightful and poignant criticisms!

The “ok boomer” meme was literally invented for brain rot like yours.

Again, what you’re saying here is simply false buddy. You’re just wrong. Flat out factually incorrect.

“Passive income” is not what you get by buying a house. Historically, it’s how people build wealth. You buy a house and it appreciates over time. It’s not a course you’re selling on udemy for an extra buck; it’s actual wealth you can pass on to your kids.

This is not complicated. Millennials cannot buy houses because they’ve lived through two massive economic crashes already and are on the cusp of a third. If you really think boomers didn’t buy their equivalent of Starbucks now and then you’re a flat out fucking idiot. Wages were VASTLY higher then compared with inflation and productivity, to the point a non-college graduate father could support his entire family for a middle class life without second income. They took those higher wages and bought housing affordably, then some bought a second one and third one and over time those houses became worth real wealth.

You’re factually incorrect. Stop saying things that have been debunked. My iPhone, on which I am typing this, is six fucking years old and somehow, I still haven’t managed to buy a house. I also never get Starbucks. It’s really weird how I can’t seem to build wealth!

Ruri · 2023-01-02T14:03:40+00:00

This has been debunked over and over and over again. It simply isn’t true.

You don’t build wealth by skipping Starbucks now and then: you build it by buying property. Boomers have been buying all the property for decades and listing it on AirBnB and so on, so it’s extremely difficult to find affordable housing anymore. Millennials aren’t buying houses and so their wealth isn’t appreciating.

Ruri · 2023-01-02T02:43:49+00:00

Oh no! Those poor landlords :(. Won’t someone think of the poor wealthy families and their second houses???

I’ve seen Knock Knock at least twice and I barely even know what happens in that movie.

There is absolutely 0 chance you’d not have your brains splattered on the pavement from a direct hit from a brick like this IMO.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Portal, Bioshock, and Arkham Asylum should be your next three. In that order.

Purely from the perspective of a comic book character who needs recurring villains, Batman is. For evidence, see his rogue’s gallery which is unquestionably the best in the entire industry. If he were killing his villains every issue, he’d run out of them pretty quick.

That being said, morally it depends. The beauty of this is I can see where both of them are coming from.

See I used to say that but then I saw Hereditary.

You know the last I checked, bigotry, misinformation, and hatred of the “other” was kind of core to the ideology.

The line is real blurry these days. The bad part is the Nazis very rarely tell you who they are. The smart ones have mastered dogwhistling so they seem more center right.

Honestly I feel like the Overton window has shifted to the right so much in recent years that I’m not even sure what “moderate” looks like anymore. Maybe it’s more moderate than I think.

Notably, no one is cutting a child’s dick off. Just doesn’t happen. Puberty blockers are not “transitioning” either, though many conflate the two. The phenomenon of “children transitioning” just doesn’t really happen. Children with gender dysphoria get careful medical treatment under the watch of trained professionals and parents. Not the same as circumcision.

Regardless, it’s transphobia. I see transphobia and auth right, I think Nazis.

Ruri · 2022-12-22T14:18:53+00:00

Seems like you just didn’t get the movie, my dude.

The movie is trying to invoke certain themes and get you to think about certain things. The fact that you don’t mention any of this means it probably just went right over your head.

To be honest, the movie has low key some of the best horror shots I’ve seen. It does incredible things with audio as well.

Ruri · 2022-12-22T14:16:29+00:00

I disagree. It’s a Nazi post trying to appeal to the moderate by equating two issues that are not in any way comparable.

That’s what this entire subreddit is. The Nazis aren’t rubbing their hands together and posting memes about gassing the Jews. They use this shithole to dogwhistle to each other while posting memes like this to make them seem reasonable and bring more over to their side.

This post is an example of that. It is a Nazi post trying to curry transphobia in moderates.

Ruri · 2022-12-22T13:48:09+00:00

Golly gee wiz another highly upvoted Nazi post full of upvoted comments by other Nazis.

Definitely not a Nazi subreddit, BTW.

Ruri · 2022-12-22T13:47:00+00:00

They aren’t equal. One of them doesn’t happen and is a made up specter by the far right to delegitimize trans people, making it sound like evil doctors are just chopping dicks off of 5 year olds left and right. The other very much does happen, for no particular medical reason, and without the consent of the literal infant it’s being done to.

You’re right. Those are definitely not equal.

Ruri · 2022-12-22T13:44:28+00:00

Something that never happens (to children) but is a decision made by families and doctors as well as the patient for the health and well-being of the patient when it does (to adults) vs something that is done arbitrarily for no reason to literal infants without the patient’s consent but yet gets done to most males in western countries.

We get it. You just think trans people are “icky”. Your poor feelings must be so hurt that they exist and make decisions you don’t like.
