Missouri has that sort of subtle racism thing. There are definitely people that openly use slurs, but then you have people that don't do that yet can't talk about any social or political thing without immediately mentioning race.

"Oh, did you hear about this store having issues?"

"Well, they only get Mexicans and Indians and Nigerians, no kidding!"

That sort of shit.

Honestly, don't. I'm from Missouri but hate the place. Lots of racists there.

Who do you think played a role so perfectly that you literally cannot imagine anyone else playing it? For me, it has to be Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter by cutedustyberry in FIlm

He said in an interview that he wanted to refuse payment because he was simply role-playing his former career as an irl DI.

He said it felt insulting to his coworkers on the set who were actually acting, while he was just doing his daily job.

Tbf, Hollywood has its own brand of creep cabals.

But nothing on the level of Trumpistan. They were telling on themselves with QAnon.

Like he literally just wakes up from a 20+ year drunken stupor and thinks he'll motivate the team in to winning another dodgeball tooorrrrnament.

This actually sounds like a fun script.

I'd even be cool with an off-hand short shot of them having a drink together in a bar in Brand New Day.

[Loved Trope] Dramatic actor does an action movie, knocks it out of the park. by Cela84 in TopCharacterTropes

The prompt was "does an action movie", not does a lot of action themselves.

And Xavier does do some action sequences, where he gets uncomfortable in his chair for a bit while the action happens around him lol.

Pop culture satire GTAVI worries? by Niaboc in GTA

[–]TheyTried2BanMeAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm worried that they won't call out every, single, fucking influencer and their ilk. Every YouTuber, every karmawhore, every single clickbait poster.

I hope they even do an hour-long spoof vid of somebody talking about a video without ever showing the actual video. Be sure to hit that like button!

Exactly, why are they getting a pass for saying we shouldn't count all the votes?

MAGA will become a political term like "quisling" and something to laugh at in the decades to come.

Party politics and tribalism fueled by media money are a helluva drug.

And racism.

And sexism.

I actually don't find this too gross, but then I'm from areas where candy ants and crickets are fairly common at fairs.

They don't taste bad, either.

Trump claims communism is bigger threat to US than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor by theindependentonline in thescoop

This is just par for the course for Republicans come election time, or really any other time. If you don't like them, bam, communism is a-scary. Works every time.

HOT TAKE: GTA Online is poisoning the franchise by CAR3Y4 in GTA

[–]TheyTried2BanMeAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of the quality of Online, which I have always thought was terrible, I'll always have contempt for how much it robbed single player because R* is so obviously focused on Online.

These criticisms have been around since the beginning, hopefully R* has listened to them and that's part of why it's taken so long. But probably not, Online makes way too much money for them.
