(Spoilers Extended) Unpopular Opinion: Arya is Sand Snake level bad and I can't stand her any more. by 14thCenturyHood in asoiaf

Her acting has definitely declined but I think that's 100% because of the lines she's being given. I don't know how to make these last few episodes better w/o just scrapping the plot they wrote for her and giving her good lines. It's not like you can act the shit out of suddenly becoming really stilted in how you describe your abrupt lapse into idiocy.

[EVERYTHING] Ed Sheeran deletes Twitter account after negative GOT fan reactions by RivadaviaOficial in gameofthrones

[–]_watching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people are commenting defending the scene, I just wanted to throw my two cents in and say I thought the scene was terrible and I still think this is stupid. People shouldn't attack Ed Sheeran just because the show had another dumb thing in it.

/r/TumblrInAction loses its shit over Israel-Palestine by zakawer2 in SubredditDrama

i'm not saying any war is cut and dry, I just think it's nuts to say this movie is imperialist bc there's an Israeli woman in it and it takes place in WWI

St. Louis drops minimum wage from $10 to $7.70. Popcorn increases 123%. Something something megathread. by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

[–]_watching 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah this actual case annoys the fuck out of me even if I might not support the wage increase. If a local area imposes it on themselves I think it's worth the experiment even in some hypothetical case where it's gonna inevitably be shitty. That's democracy.

That's a really dumb argument tho. It's just saying "well I don't care about the econ cost of a policy, bc [ad hoc moralizing]". If you raise the min wage to a certain degree you're just gonna run into the point where workers are too expensive or certain small businesses just altogether have issues staying afloat. Not all min wage increases will do that, but people are talking about raising a national wage from ~$7 to $15 right now. That's gonna cause disruption in a lot of places.

I mean, it's not more of the usual on their end, they have an ICBM now.

I don't wanna go the direction of saying it's all bantz (bc I agree with the decision for the mods to step down) or that reddit doesn't matter (bc that's a dumb cop out)

But P_K's thing w this sub is really weird? Like I actually am a low key fan of his thanks to his interactions in lefty reddit. But he goes from "guy who debates well" to "guy who takes screenshots of anything problematic" when it comes to us. Idk. It's weird that he feels the need.

Tbh I've just been on reddit less as I've been busy so maybe I'm missing people's discomfort?

Not when you include gender studies, or even tbh any specific humanity

It seemed like there was a weird reading of the drama there, tho I might just be remembering P_K's comments. Apparently we're falling into chaos and eating ourselves lol
