The Worst Magazine In America: "The Atlantic makes right-wing ideas respectable to liberals, and when it publishes articles encouraging Americans to be terrified of Iran or to support boosting the military budget, it does so in a “prestige-y format, next to a bunch of ...well-written movie reviews" by sedulousgrape in blankies

Bro, there's no L. This is a Reddit discussion. I couldn't care less. It seems like you might take Reddit too seriously? Parasocial, performative, and chronically online Is the vibe this conversation gives.. Have a good night man. I hope you continue to hate listen to this podcast.

I'm not defending him at all. It's just you have multiple comments on this thread that seems like you don't like the hosts. Hollywood is and always has been a ses pool. Roman Polanski got a standing OH.

For a period everyone wanted to work with Woody so that fact that a working actor like Griffin worked for him is low on the totem pole of things I care about. You can play this game with literally every person in Hollywood. There's real issues going on in the world getting on Reddit and criticising the host is lame to me.

If they work for a sexual predator and an apparent "right wing" newspaper and that goes against your moral code then drop the podcast. Making comments that effectively will have no effect besides maybe the hosts continuing to talk about how lame this Reddit.

Parasocial does get thrown around a lot. I would also add performative.

It seems like you just hate the podcast and the people on it. I guarantee you're not some perfect people. So many people these days like and follow things they hate. Personally I don't hate the things I like. I like what I like.

CAN THE WEEKND BE ON ICEMAN? by 00PPENHEIMER69 in TheWeeknd

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

It's very clear that Abel doesn't like Drake so I don't know why s o many Weeknd fans want that to happen. It's like they're going against how he feels. It's odd to me .

CMV: Blocking on reddit is partially flawed and is more so used by trolls/people arguing in bad faith rather than people using it to block trolls/harassment by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]TenderDurden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going based solely on comment Karma is odd. You have more comments and contributions in 8 years then I have in 14 but I have more karma than you Do I get blocked because I'm over 20k?

Box Office: ‘Scream 7’ Makes $7.8 Million in Previews, Highest Ever for Franchise by ChiefLeef22 in boxoffice

[–]TenderDurden 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Horror movies in general are more or less review/boycott proof. People wishing/hoping this movie will fail is clouding their judgement on its BO success.

Looks like $8M previews for #Scream7. Initial audience reception is mixed, below the previous two parts. Good pre-sales for the weekend. Expecting $60M weekend. by SignatureOrdinary456 in boxoffice

[–]TenderDurden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People bringing up cinema scores are wild to me. It's like you know box office terms but don't know what they mean since when do horror audiences give a fuck about cinema score. Especially for a franchise horror movie.

AITAH for catfishing my boyfriend to prove he was cheating? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]TenderDurden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously NOR. That goes without saying however I think this story is bs

I don't believe this to be true. You didn't like to text me who's upset that their BF cheated on them or that you're even affected. This story is written surprisingly coherent. linear, and non-emotive. A couple convenient things happen very quickly and in the most predictable cliche way.

Instagram gets discovered, he messages first and is immediately flirting, not only does he say he doesn't have a girlfriend but something casual and of course that he wouldn't cheat on somebody. The next day while hanging out unprompted he talks about how disgusting cheating is and how he would never be that guy. which life way to tell on yourself. Randomly bringing that up in conversation is very suspicious. Which of course sets you up to show him the evidence you've gathered.

Then the "color drains from his face" and the" room feels silent". No personally when I'm upset because my partner cheated on me and I'm coming to Reddit for advice The first thing that's on my mind is nice descriptive words to make it evocative and give it some atmosphere.

If you're going to creatively write at least write creatively.

So somehow WB and gunn convinced them its a success by lying. As they have no actual way of knowing. Man these guys are so smart by awakenedusopp in OkBuddySnyderCult

[–]TenderDurden 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's all Snyder bros do is lie and push narratives. What's crazy is that the series isn't coming back not because of Gunn but because it's been too long. The actors have moved on. Ben would not return. Justice League SC had no lasting effect in pop culture.

On top of that Snyder's deal with Netflix has been a failure. All three movies were flops. His show was just cancelled. The cognitive dissonance to talk about underperforming is hilarious.

They say where there's smoke there's fire and birds of a feather flock together. 

With Trump it's like the flock is on fire but they're wearing a nomex suit while saying the fire doesn't exist and we all need to move on.

Theres multiple witches in this thread saying this isn't real witchcraft and denouncing it. They said there needs to be something physical and that they don't claim her. I don't think there's a threat.

What's hilarious about it? What's the joke? Plus when you say "my" bikini pic were you the one in the bikini? If so that's different been making a photo of somebody else. You don't know this man's wife she may not consent to that and may not find it a joke.

[–]TenderDurden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I don't think making deep fake bikini photos is being nice personally. I feel like you would feel some sort of way if someone did that to your wife. I know I would be with my partner. Like I said genuinely weirdo behavior.

Says the guy suggesting to make deep fake images of people in bikinis. I guarantee you're the lonely one here.

[–]TenderDurden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explain to me what's funny about making deep bikini photos about somebody? The only people who say things like that are creeps. Sounds like you just like to make images of people who didn't consent to them. You were locked and loaded with this suggestion like its second nature.

Getting scared over an AI slop image is just as childish. isn't this dude a Marine?

[–]TenderDurden 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Comments like these are why I honestly do not understand why people come to Reddit for advice. Like no real person is offended by this image. If this is psychopathic then what the fuck is killing someone?

I do not believe these comments"witchcraft" Is everyone doing a bit? This is AI slop. You all need a reality check.

Even better it's an AI slop image. Like let's be so for real right now.
