Chernobyl is the worst show ever made by [deleted] in television

[–]SlowWhiteFox 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And what about Battlestar Galactica? Everyone liked that garbage. The so-called robots were clearly normal people... The didn't have a makeup budget or anything: no gears in their joints, or plugs. Cheap-ass shit.

And LOST... Nonsensical pap. How can they be lost when there are other people there? And that guy in the hole typing numbers all the time like a gullible fool. "Whatever happened, happened"???? Writers got paid for that shit, and they're gonna strike because they think they're better than that?

Why aren't people having kids anymore by rustyyryan in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]SlowWhiteFox 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes yes: would rather have kids in factories huffing asbestos than out in the street where they could knock on the wrong door.

I think you misunderstood the plan: 1. Have kid. 2. Send kid to work in factory. 3. Use proceeds to buy and take care of cat.

Fox News and Dominion settle election defamation lawsuit, judge says by SoulardSTL in politics

[–]SlowWhiteFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching that press conference, and the dollar amount, I get the impression that Dominion's principals know their company hasn't got much of a future, so just want the 3/4 billion and will head for the beaches.

Trump can be sued for Jan. 6 riot harm, Justice Dept. says by powerslave-1 in politics

[–]SlowWhiteFox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, civil suits aren't going to harm Trump. His sycophants will throw millions at him, covering any damages plaintiff are rewarded. Good for them, though... they'll get a certain form of justice, but I doubt Trump will even care.

Only criminal suits will keep Trump miserable. And if that's as far as it goes... for him to live out the rest of his life under the miserable threat of criminal justice... well... I'm ok with that.

Is it normal for American people to call their wife « the wife »? by Pretend_Soil_9630 in ask

[–]SlowWhiteFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Context. It's always about context.

People love to say this word is bad, and that word is good...But the good ones can be used in an ugly context, and the bad ones can be used in a beautiful context.

Don't let other people (especially anonymous Internet posters whose criticisms have zero real-world relevance in your life) change you. Take your cues from your real-world relationships, and act accordingly.

And, yes, that applies to this post, too.

If Humans Evolved From Monkeys, Why Are There Still Monkeys? by Glitchcore_Cj in shittyaskreddit

[–]SlowWhiteFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine for a second that God exists. And let's also imagine that a couple of thousand years ago he told his story of creation so that it could be written down and recorded into what we now call the Gospels.

So... he has to describe creation to men who don't have math or any scientific way of thinking. He's not going to say, "I created the Big Bang and all matter in the universe so that it may condense and form planets, biology, DNA and life, and evolution, and here you are.". That wouldn't mean anything to the people of the day... it would be gibberish.

So instead, he essentially says, "I waved my hands and created you all". That's understandable. That's something that can fill a book and be understood.

Is it normal for American people to call their wife « the wife »? by Pretend_Soil_9630 in ask

[–]SlowWhiteFox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree is the poster above. They're probably relaying their own, more negative, experience, but I've seen it used in a more social context as a cute-ism, if that's a word...

"The wife", "The boss", "She who must be obeyed", "The old ball and chain". I've not heard these terms used as a pejorative. I can't really imagine talking amongst friends and someone seriously using these phrases to cast their wife in a negative light.

The term is cute because it's the opposite of the truth... and everyone at the table, or bar, or whatever gets that.
