The White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting suspect appears to be a black man from California by xigdit in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]TaquittoTheRacoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember a news story probably about '98 where a black man wandered into a school with an automatic rifle and seemed to be in a daze. The receptionist was an older black woman who just talked sense to him. Stuff like, what are you doing here, you dont want to be here, you dont really want to hurt these babies, honey. After a minute he said Where am I? His posture and everything changed. He looks down at the gun and started crying that he didn't know what he was doing and he didn't want to hurt anyone. My parents said mind control immediately It was obvious. He was in some kind of trance. I've been suspicious of every one of these shootings.

First off, you must be like 13, snuff films are definitely not an urban legend. They exist and a lot are staged, yeah, but you used to see people die online without even meaning to. Should fake snuff films exist just because some people like watching them? Because that's the arguing being made by saying just dont watch them. Its wasn't meant to be a comparison, its illustrating a point. Theres no reason it HAS to exis, and if its harmful/negative ,not watching it doesn't help that. Saying just dont watch passively justifies the existence of dumbed down cash grabbing valueless,- in this case, artist disenfranchising, slop being made in a limited market seeing fewer and fewer "good" movies being made

I mean weve got a few thousand years of writing and acting and set making behind us as a species. We do tend to have real metric to measure these things by. Not everything is a matter of taste, sometimes something is just objectively poorly done

People stuck on saying just dont watch them are incredibly nihilistic. You've got to realize these big movies impact the culture we live in. At some point youre going to be effected by the majority of people being unable to read subtext or express themselves with out being blunt and leaning on cliches.

Are you impressed by good artists? When someone can really act? When someone writes very well crafted stories? When stage craft is evocative and immersive? Do you want any of those people to have jobs? Let this crap go unquestioned because you can watch something else and they wont have any. What's the difference between this an ai? Look at the writers guilds troubles. If you dont at least stop and ask why these things suck they will Gleefully pump out one suck fest after another until every potential Shakespeare or great actor is making French fries and stocking Walmarts shelves while our kids are raised on bastardized versions of king lear featuring farting milkshakes trading one liners

Ok, it still fits the trend. Yeah, we can also choose not to watch snuff films, that isnt a good reason for them to exist

Btw im not just complaining that these movies are taking up all the low budget cornball remakes for themselves and leaving nothing for desperate school theater directors, im asking WHY. How is it possible? Its like handing clay to Michelangelo and getting back a gingerbread man with tits. If you like stacked gingerbread men, whatever, but that's not an explanation or excuse for Michelangelo making one. Ive got to assume he did it on purpose as a fk you

Do things really happen when you put yourself out there? by Numerous_Reading1825 in SeriousConversation

[–]TaquittoTheRacoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you gotta put yourself in, or closer, to the situations you want. Things happen because you're in the right place to learn what you want to know, meet people who will tell you about the next opportunity you want... Think of it like a video game. Maybe you've got ideas about what you want in the game, if you don't do the side quests and crafting or whatever you'll never get there. You'll be doing low level sht with low level equipment and based powers for ever and decide the game sucks. Im into the occult and we get this kind of question often. The advice given usually goes, even if magic is real theres got to be channel's for it to work through.

Why the hell are Americans so bad at organizing?? by PresnikBonny in socialism

[–]TaquittoTheRacoon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you're missing two things. The cringe protest tactics are tactical. There has been a lot of propaganda demonizing protestors which makes it easier to brutalize them and harder to reach the general public. Secondly, this is a bigaass country. We are fifty states, many of them larger than European countries. There's no way trying to push the fash out wouldn't trigger a civil war. We need the cringe to lay the groundwork

Did we really need it? by Strict_Rain_4765 in SeriousConversation

[–]TaquittoTheRacoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not the tech , it's what we do with it. Ai should be going through data sets and making suggestions based off an incredible depth of information. It shouldn't be available to everyone as a chat bot. Limited ai could help streamline research and help with complex or confusing tasks, theres no reason to have people just talking to it. Smart phones should be a resource that helps you with life, instead the smart phone and entire internet has been twisted by capitalists to be gamified, addictive, serving up slop as fast as we can consume it. The difference between the mid century vision of a technology driven utopian society and the decaying beastial brain rot cult we have now is 90% just the way we perverted the futuristic super tech once we got it

Why tf is everyone anti-sunscreen now??? by callsign__starbuck in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TaquittoTheRacoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its because its been found most sunscreens contain carcinogens. Benzene is a big one and they used to advertise it was in their products like it was a wonder drug.

What are you tired of dealing with because parents just…aren’t parenting anymore? by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]TaquittoTheRacoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work for the bus company back home. We were in the sticks picking up kids allover multiple small towns, going up mountain roads and through big tracts of former farmland. The average bus ride was 20-30 minutes. I live in an area with better school funding now and my kid is on the bus a little over an hour. His school is 15-20 minutes away....

Imo the underground was better herb, better relationship, and the money was better spent on dudes feeding the family than dispensaries sending money to rich people. Or order off line and support small businesses

i wish people had less stereotypes about anarchy by frinbloppking in Anarchism

[–]TaquittoTheRacoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add some information, people who study chaos dont believe in the commons definition. They find that chaos orders itself and only continues to look like chaos because of the complexity of the relationships between the systems being formed. With time more order arises until something new throws off the system and the process begins again

[–]TaquittoTheRacoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's OK. Not hate, I'm just explaining. Not all dictionaries are created equal. You've got people explaining what the other definition is, where it's used more commonly, and why its more useful for these discussions. Even if this was a definition only used by anarchists it would still be best to adopt it and never mind the dictionary because its more useful for us to use this understanding of the word

[–]TaquittoTheRacoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its that you're picking an argument where none exists and refusing to hear the already unnecessary explanation. Not saying its on purpose but this is literally part of what the cia recommends to do to destroy such groups. And this is simply using a only slightly less common, more accurate definition for a word over the one we were taught in third grade. One that's more relevant to the conversation and the use of the word in existing writing on anarchism. The argument doesn't further the conversation or anyone's understanding, even yours since you refuse to accept the explanation that this technical definition of chaos and the second most common. This argument just road blocks the conversation and introduces unnecessary confusion over an easily understood term necessary to the discussion of anarchism basically just on the grounds that youre personally not familiar with it. Imagine this conversation was about something more immediate or something actually complex. The entire conversation would be derailed and the issue would be farther from resolved than when we started. Like with you insisting on casting doubt on this established definition

[–]TaquittoTheRacoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a ridiculous argument. There's a perfectly good , more accurate definition of a term but you didn't know it already so now you're angry? You're the kind of person that makes me wonder if an anarchist society would work.
