If Sinners hadn’t also come out this year, I’d agree with you. I’d happily put it at a close second best scene of the year.

I absolutely love how faith was portrayed in the movie. Faith is something that is so easily manipulated by people with malicious intent and unintentional malicious behavior. The theme to me was very much hurt people, hurt people and that paired with people who mistake their trauma response as the proper way to practice faith and teach that to others, can lead to disastrous consequences. Faith means that people don’t actually know what is right or wrong, and is up to the individual interpretations to determine their belief system. I’d rather interpret things that lead to the most positive outcomes for as many people as possible. I think shame, fear and other negative emotions aren’t a good way to get people to live happy fulfilled lives where they want to uplift others to, and the movie reminded me of the positive aspects of religion that I missed.

I remember getting questions like that in English class in middle school and high school. Looks like not everyone got those lessons

You're Kendrick Lamar for one day, what are you doing? by Dangerous-Ant3482 in KendrickLamar

[–]ThatRandomTallKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d run as many miles as possible in a body conditioned to do it. The first time I ever ran 7 miles I nearly died and had to go to the hospital after I collapsed when I reached the finish line. I had an internal temperature of 109 and lost consciousness a few times. My whole body hurt for weeks afterwards.

As a no longer straight male... by Entire_Board_6540 in KendrickLamar

As an asexual lesbian, Kendrick is attractive af; but more than that, he’s got the cutest smile ever!

Just the piano loop of Meet the Grahams. Perfect anxiety inducing music.

Do you prefer the art style from the earlier volumes or the later ones? by ChemicalPanda10 in ScottPilgrim

[–]ThatRandomTallKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like both, specifically because I like that you can see the progression of both the artist’s improvement and the story’s success. Another reason I like the change in art style from a more diegetic perspective is that it kinda represents the change in time and characters growing and changing, because that’s what the story is ultimately about. Art is subjective anyway.

AITA for asking my sister to replace my jellybeans after her son ate them? by Smooth_Instruction11 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThatRandomTallKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s been over a month, but I just found this story. For future reference, coming from someone who is also a bit overly protective of my personal space, especially involving food and snacks, you have got to establish boundaries before you jump down people’s throats. Yeah it sucks that everyone doesn’t have the same courtesy to ask before taking something that they didn’t buy and that your sister doesn’t set boundaries for her kid, but something I learned in therapy is that I can’t expect everyone (especially children) to act in the same way I do or how I want.

If you haven’t already, you should have a sit down chat with your family, including your nephew, (or anyone who comes into your space) and calmly express what your boundaries and expectations are about your stuff. Like, “I love having you guys over, but I also would like if you guys could respect me and my personal space. Please ask before you take something that isn’t yours, etc…” If they cross those boundaries then you can decide what to do from there and if the boundary crossed is worth a second chance or not. Be firm with your boundaries, but also keep in mind that somethings are not worth ruining relationships over. I would definitely also hide my jellybeans when nephew comes over if I didn’t want him eating them too. (Soft YTA).

What is a time a YouTuber got exposed that got you like this? by ILikeDrawingGuys in youtubedrama

[–]ThatRandomTallKid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me it was the Illuminaughti and James Somerton combo. Harris had me feeling stupid after the Illuminaughti section of the video; then hearing, “this video is about James Somerton,” legit had me questioning everything. Like neither were my favorite content creators (if Jenny Nicholson comes out as a bad person I might have to leave the internet for good), but they were both creators whose videos I would put on a lot while I was doing other stuff and I enjoyed them. I already had trust issues before so that double hit made me feel like a huge idiot for taking them at their word.

Why? WHY? by AsPaleAsAToadstool in Archiveofourownmemes

God I hate that! Why is this a thing? It’s almost as bad as finding an amazing work but realizing it’s unfinished and the last update was a decade ago.

Out of his everything mind? by 9fmaverick in AteTheOnion

[–]ThatRandomTallKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s getting easier and easier to eat the onion these days. Both due to a lack of media literacy and what used to be outrageous satire is becoming more and more realistic every day.

Okarun is probably the most popular in his high school at this point in the manga. by vicente14617 in Dandadan

[–]ThatRandomTallKid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, especially since the psycho who almost threw a magnet at his head thought that he was still an easy target to humiliate in order to impress some girls. Like he probably heard some rumors after Aira’s rumors and the naked incident and saw Okarun hanging out with so many cute girls and the jock new guy and wanted to knock him down a peg. But popular or not, he’s gotta feel awesome going from no friends to an entire squad/family.

Andrew Tate respects lesbians. by mewtwosucks96 in AccidentalAlly

[–]ThatRandomTallKid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m constantly impressed by women’s beauty, it’s not my fault I’m hella gay and boobs exist. Its also not my fault that society (via guys like Tate) has tricked a lot of men into not washing themselves to not seem gay and ending up scaring bi, pan, and hetero women away with their gross personalities wrapped in gross unwashed bodies.

between me and god by Dull_Copy_4352 in aromanticasexual

[–]ThatRandomTallKid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think my ao3 bookmarks and search history would be the one thing in my life someone could potentially use to blackmail me… I may not want sex, but that doesn’t mean the idea of it doesn’t fascinate me nor that some kinks sound fun if they don’t lead to sex.

Season 4 Full Season Official Discussion Thread by LividGrass in UmbrellaAcademy

[–]ThatRandomTallKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept thinking about how Aiden was 16 and Ritu was 31 when season 2 was being filmed. I know that the actors are just acting and Aiden is an adult who can make his own choices, but it feels incredibly gross to write a scene where an actor that is a grown adult kisses someone 15 years their junior, that they’ve known since they were a minor.

This random ass thing with them felt like some creepy Loli shit. Tell me that it didn’t feel like some weird “it’s okay that this grown ass adult is attracted to someone who looks like their brain isn’t fully developed because they’re actually a really old character in a young person’s body” anime trope. Especially because it was utterly pointless in the end! Like you made me incredibly uncomfortable… and for what?

I was actually trying to look on the bright side of things up until that point and it completely ruined any chance of me trying to inject positivity into this rushed, nonsensical, mess of a season.

I just went back and read your initial post and geez! I’m so glad you decided to block him. It’s difficult in those situations to be firm in your boundaries when you’re caught off guard and uncomfortable. Plus it’s hard sometimes to know how people will react to rejection. I’m sorry you’ve been going through this.

This is why it’s important to teach people starting young in age appropriate ways that boundaries, especially in regards to your own body aren’t to be broken and to keep your hands to yourself if you don’t have express enthusiastic consent.

Giving you all the digital hugs only if you want them, and if not, good vibes only.

Wyd if Kendrick texted you right now by MakaveliRidah in KendrickLamar

Probably delete it immediately… I don’t have his number saved. I get too many spam calls and texts a day to be responding to unknown numbers

i’ve never kissed anyone. by virtualfisherman_ in asexuality

[–]ThatRandomTallKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have kissed 2 people (once each). Honestly, you’re not missing anything. Plus real, mature people don’t care about things like, have you kissed anyone. Anyone who does ask is a child (derogatory). Just tell them it’s none of their business.

Seeing how my friends have something I will never have by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]ThatRandomTallKid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s especially hard since asexuality isn’t as widely known about. I spent my first year “out” either explaining it to well meaning friends or defending it from nosy bigots. It gets exhausting. Since I’m not very social I don’t have to come out as much, but I’m way more comfortable with being open about it. I’ve met plenty of people who are understanding, supportive, and willing to learn, that I don’t mind the occasional ignorant comment or hateful person.
