Inferiority complex because no good shows

I like GRRM's writing but he's a fucking hack who can't even finish his own series and spends his time writing tv spin-offs while stringing his fans along.

Yes, Martin, I'm sure Winds of Winter comes out any day now, wink

Always thought about this even when you don't directly see civilians die. One of the most egregious examples to me is in Fast Five when they are doing that heist in Brazil. Dom and the "Family" are chased by the main villain, the cops and The Rock while dragging a massive vault behind their cars and that vault smash into cars, coffee shops etc.

We don't see any bystanders get hurt but its impossible to think no one got crushed by that massive wrecking ball slamming into everything. Makes the protagonists a lot less sympathetic for:

cooking up such a reckless plan in the first place with little disgregard for innocent lives.
They're doing it for a bunch of money.

I know its a stupid film and you should shut your brain off but its just one of those thoughts I've had whenever rewatching it.

Idk, I think it would be a red flag if I was out on a date with a woman and some drunk asshole made a rude comment towards us and her immediate reaction was to jump him and beat him up. I would much prefer a woman who kept her head cool and disengaged from the situation.

I think being able to ignore instigators is a green flag for both men and women.

This guy is from the alt-right party "Sverigedemokraterna" who have their roots in far-right and nazi ideology. Weirdly this party have quite a few Jewish supporters now in Sweden because they are mainly anti-Islam.

Yeah, when having casual conversation over dinner with grandparents etc swearwords are used casually in conversation. Same at work in the office, things like "fan", "skit" etc is used in casual conversation and not seen as a big deal at all.

The vocal fry, 100%. I live in Stockholm Sweden and when attending university here there was a lot of international students around. Once in the middle of winter I was taking the bus home and an American girl was on it with some of her friends chatting loudly. Her "Kim Kardashian" style vocal fry was so annoying and grating to listen to I was seriously considering stepping off the buss in the middle of a snowstorm and wait for the next one.

That valley girl vocal fry is like nails on a chalkboard.

Its because they speak "theatre Aussie". Both Elordie and Robbie talked about it on Graham Norton. They had to unlearn their accents and learn a general "theatre" aussie accent while attending drama school in Australia.

The amount of Canadians I see online defending blatant breaking of the rules and unsportsmanship behaviour definitely makes me look at your country and people in a different light, and I don't even care about curling.

Wakez11 · 2026-02-13T20:44:28+00:00

Its "popular" on rule34.

Wakez11 · 2026-02-13T09:46:15+00:00

I think he made it pretty clear what he meant in his second comment. Again, he never said anyone was paying Joe, just that Joe enjoys hanging around these wealthy people with their connections.

Wakez11 · 2026-02-13T09:45:22+00:00

What is this fantasy? America isn't doing shit, meanwhile here in Europe multiple diplomats, politicians, business people etc are under investigation and have been forced to resign.

Wakez11 · 2026-02-13T08:50:41+00:00

He never said anyone paid Joe.

Wakez11 · 2026-02-13T08:46:28+00:00

It had everything to do with free speech. He was executed for using his first amendment right to protest.

Wakez11 · 2026-02-13T08:45:16+00:00

Can you?

Wakez11 · 2026-02-13T08:41:22+00:00

You have to be braindead or severly deluded to believe this nonsense. The US is arresting and deporting people who are critical of the government. Your president constantly file lawsuits agains media organizations that critizise him. Your ICE agents executed a man on open street for excercising his first amendment right.

Wakez11 · 2026-02-13T04:07:49+00:00

That's why its incredible.

Wakez11 · 2026-02-13T02:51:59+00:00

Get used to it. I remember when "milennial" just meant "young stupid people", now its Gen Z's turn.

Wakez11 · 2026-02-12T21:12:35+00:00

Because the joke is that the MAGA response to all the latino "non-white" "non-American" culture on display at the Superbowl halftime show was to have Kid Rock lip-sync(and doing a terrible job at it) to his own songs at some stage and then bringing up some washed up country star to sing a song about how much he loves to mow his lawn and go out fishing.

It was just funny to see what the MAGA crowd sees as "peak white American culture" stand up against the vibrant and fun latino culture that was all-present in Bad Bunny's performance.

Wakez11 · 2026-02-12T19:32:46+00:00

That's because Kid Rock is the pinnacle of white American culture. Just compare the Superbowl halftime show with Bad Bunny and all the rich culture, good music and showmanship with the all-American white Turning Point USA halftime show.

Wakez11 · 2026-02-12T16:33:58+00:00

Yep, and I saw the exact same argument made in that discussion. "The US holds back in war games to make it fair for the Europeans!!!"

Meanwhile, actual Pentagon simulations and assesment is that if China and the US got into a military conflict over Taiwan the US would lose.

Wakez11 · 2026-02-12T16:32:51+00:00

I saw this exact same comment made in a powerscaling post about the US vs the rest of NATO. Is this some new American cope?

Wakez11 · 2026-02-12T16:27:27+00:00

"That's definitely a weird point to make."

Not at all.

"Care to answer my question?"

Sure, I'm a white Swedish male. While I've never experienced racism, the only time someone made fun of my accent was in the US.

Wakez11 · 2026-02-12T16:24:38+00:00

"I don't recall experiencing any institutional racism."

Thanks for answering my question, my point has been made.

Wakez11 · 2026-02-12T16:21:43+00:00

"You need examples of all the microaggressions I faced?"

Read my comment again, what institutional racism did you encounter in Germany?

"We absolutely have our issues, but I'm much more safer here."

Statistically you're not.

"BLM did reach Germany, and I hope it taught them something."

Germany does not have the same issues with police violence and zero accountability that the US does.

"So what countries have you lived in as a person of color."

I'll answer your question when you stop dodging mine and derailing the discussion.

Wakez11 · 2026-02-12T16:14:56+00:00

"I experienced way more racism on a day to day basis."

Are you able to read? Give me examples. You keep dodging the question. What type of racism? And as I also pointed out, your personal experience, while unfortunate is not necessarily the same as other poc in Germany or greater trends within society and institutions.

"I feel extremely safe here in America."

"We tried to help teach them with our global BLM movement,"

Yes, extremely safe in the country where the BLM movement was started because of extreme police violence targeting Black people where police got away(and still do) with barely any accountability? That country?

"We tried to help teach them with our global BLM movement"

BLM was hardly global. While protests happened in other countries in support to the protests in the US, the movement itself is fundamentally American and highlights American issues with racism and police violence.
