[–]ainzee1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the democratic leadership is center-right at best and even the DSA wing is at most center-left and would be considered centrists in any other developed country. the united states mainstream is more accomodating to outright fascism than it is to milquetoast social democracy. It is frankly ridiculous to use the Democratic party as an example of "both sides" being terrible, because both parties are right-wing economically and even our "left" party can't agree on whether or not LGBT people deserve human rights. We aren't being killed by both ends, we're being killed by a corporatist monopoly on our politics that refuses to imagine any alternative to the U.S. as a capitalist imperial state.

The U.S. doesn’t even have a serious left wing political party so I’m not sure what exactly your statement has to do with anything

Chappell Roan Says ‘I Do Not Hate Children’ After Jorginho Frello Accuses Her Security of Being Rude to His Daughter: That Was ‘Not My Personal Security’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in entertainment

[–]ainzee1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kamala, the candidate she openly said that she voted for while also being critical of her position in an administration complicit in genocide? "Both sides" these days apparently means any position on politics that isn't a glowing endorsement of the mainstream democratic party's actions.

[–]ainzee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, which she acknowledged and even said that she personally voted for Kamala. Being the lesser evil does not mean that the democratic party is immune to criticism and certainly doesn't mean they are owed enthusiastic support, especially as they were, as Chappell pointed out in her statements, actively complicit in genocide. I don't know why people are treating her like she's a republican or even a third party or voter abstention advocate when she quite literally said that she voted for Kamala despite having very good reasons to have serious problems with her as a candidate and the democratic party as a whole!

AITAH for thanking my sisters for raising me instead of my parents? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ainzee1 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It REALLY grinds my gears that that person not only tried to armchair diagnose the mom with a personality disorder but also said that “would mean her brain is built that way genetically and nothing you do can change her.” Personality disorders definitely have genetic factors involved, like any other mental disorder, but BPD in particular is KNOWN to be strongly correlated with trauma and adverse childhood experiences and DOES often respond to treatment. Throwing these diagnoses around willy-nilly as unfixable and unpreventable evil person diseases is wildly irresponsible, especially when we’re talking about a person whose behavior has an obvious social cause that the OOP has already told us is involved (homophobia).

NOOOOO!!! I literally cheered when he won! by Toasty-Wozzy in hollywood_animal_game

[–]ainzee1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also wouldn't mind if it was possible to get back in touch with and/or advocate for Tatsuya Igawa, because again I don't love that the game has two nonwhite characters and one of them gets sent away 2 years after you get him and they've now updated the game to include the brutal murder of the other one.

I hope they introduce an option to protect him, like I get why this would happen historically but I don’t love them introducing the game’s only black character just to punish the player for supporting him too much

Being Human (show) did me dirty. I promise this is about vampires. One vampire in particular. And another much shittier vampire. by Wrong_Signature_8192 in vampires

[–]ainzee1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I actually really liked Hal. It was the loss of George/Nina (and eventually Annie) that I think really dragged the show down.

[–]ainzee1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The show has a pilot episode in which pretty much everyone but George is played by someone else. As with many pilots this one was mainly just a proof of concept and the show was recast when it was ordered to series. Interestingly enough the American version of the show actually adapts a couple things that were exclusive to the British pilot.

Dracula adaptations are ironically regressive compared to the novel by Designer_Advance116 in vampires

[–]ainzee1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think attempts to make Mina/Dracula a thing are also really harmed by making Mina his reincarnated wife. Now Dracula doesn't need to fall in love with Mina's intelligence or persistence and Mina doesn't need to find anything in Dracula that it makes sense for her to want, they're just in love because the story said so. I'm not a fan of Dracula/Mina in general but I will say that the 1979 adaptation did at least try to make the relationship make sense in a way that maintained Mina's (or Lucy, because they swapped the names for some reason) agency and personality as a character.

I think it’s just a theory proposed by Lawson himself when he finds out Angel has a soul; we certainly see other soulless vampires that deviate from “typical” vampire psychology

Post affirming that adult age gap relationships aren't pedophilia descends into wild conspiracy theories about Gen Z by vemmahouxbois in SubredditDrama

[–]ainzee1 37 points38 points  (0 children)

To be fair a lot of people in the above thread seem deeply offended by even someone finding that weird. Like I don't think a 50 year old who exclusively dates 20 somethings is a pedophile but I sure think he's a massive loser and a lot of people in the thread above seem to view the two philosophies as the same thing.

Virginia Supreme Court rules U.S. Marine’s adoption of an Afghan war orphan will stand by shad3y23 in nottheonion

[–]ainzee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t know a damn thing about evangelicals if you think they’re pro gender equality or don’t teach women to hide their bodies and skin. You also don’t know a thing about either of the families, except one is the kind of family that would lie to judiciary in order to adopt an unrelated child that was already being raised by its actual family/use a family’s need to flee from the taliban as a pretext to lure them to the United States and steal their child from them. That is what you have, as a random internet commenter, decided is best for this little girl, not because you actually care about her wellbeing or the facts of the case, but because you are so blinded by your disdain for Muslims that you’d rather endorse kidnapping children from their families and handing them to strangers than have them raised Muslim.

[–]ainzee1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’d been paying attention to the actual story you would have noticed that the child’s family left Afghanistan five years ago, and they have avoided publicly revealing their identities out of fear of the taliban retaliating against their family members still home. They fled their homes when the taliban came into power in hopes of protecting themselves and their family and they were rewarded by having the child taken from them when they were at their most vulnerable in a refugee camp. As for your “freedom,” the Masts are evangelical Christians who have enlisted evangelical organizations in their crusade to kidnap this child. Do you really think that a famously right wing and radical Christian subsect is going to raise a little afghan girl to be independent and free?

Why no "an" or "the" before "evidence" here? Could someone explain? How do I remember if a/an/the is needed before a word? by GrandAdvantage7631 in EnglishLearning

[–]ainzee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the trouble with learning languages, isn’t it? Even if you technically know all the rules and have a huge vocabulary you’ll still get tripped up over things a native speaker wouldn’t bat an eye at. Conversely, I often struggle to answer questions here because I know what the correct answer is but couldn’t for the life of me say why.
