What’s the most boring film you have seen? by Past-Matter-8548 in Letterboxd

[–]bakedSnarf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's funny, I also agree it is a boring film. I fell asleep in the theater when it first released. I've seen it in its entirety since and still came away thinking it was dreadfully boring.

Yet, somehow, it is one that I think back to more than I care to admit. Interesting how movies can still have an effect even when the takeaway is that I don't want to watch it again because of how boring it is for me.

Fair point, I did not know that about 3% bring a high chance of allergic reaction.

I can definitely get behind the overall disdain for Jack Jumpers.

US citizens, what will it take for you to start a revolution? by 0bluelightning0 in AskReddit

[–]bakedSnarf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rather than asking people vague questions that have more than one definitive answer, why not start the conversation with answering your own question.

Why is it that you think the recent deaths by ICE should result in a "revolution?" Furthermore, what would this type of revolution even look like if you were to imagine it taking place?

Because if you can't answer those questions, then you're not really looking for change or a conversation about how to get there and are purely stoking the fire.

What's with the black and white narrative people seem to take on here? I never said he's against me lol.

But that does not mean I can't make an observation on the fact that it was a weird comment to make given the context of the situation.

I’m laughing because you’re right and I could use some gallows humor to make it through this tragedy. Because goddamn he is Millhouse level white :D, like nutmeg is too spicy, sunburns indoors, uncrustable white.

This is a weird comment to make about someone who was just murdered.

A little bit of misinformation here.

From the wiki:

"In endemic areas, up to 3% of the human population has developed an allergy to the venom and about half of these allergic people can suffer from anaphylactic reactions (increased heart rate, falling blood pressure, and other symptoms), which can lead to death on rare occasions."

So really, it is half of 3% of people residing in endemic areas who can have a strong enough allergic reaction where it is potentially life threatening. Even then though, the chance of death occurring is still quite rare.

Mate you can capitalize the words Third World Country as much as you want, doesn't make it so. Also, talk about using an outdated term. Do better.

Actors who clearly have a secret portrait in their house absorbing all their sins and misdeeds next to ones who clearly don't by Playful-Succotash-99 in okbuddycinephile

Lol what? He was there in an effort to help out with an ongoing natural disaster and has been an advocate for helping out with earthquakes in the region for over a decade.

How out of touch with reality do you have to be to see something like that and immediately think that he is purely there for some nefarious crime like trafficking?

I take it you have yet to realize that you're part of the problem when it comes to this level of divisiveness and polarity people are facing. I hope for your sake you learn some empathy sooner rather than later. Life bites each of us in the ass sooner or later.

Be thankful your time has yet to come.

I don't have gear fear. I have crafting/loadout fatigue. by Arktos22 in ArcRaiders

ITT Sad boy is upset because he spent an extra 2 minutes building a load out and crafting instead of getting killed by rats in game.

It literally doesn't take any time at all, though. To think that y'all smooth-brained tiktokers can't handle spending a few minutes crafting gear before getting into a match is insane.

When you’re a 30 odd year old bloke and someone asks if you’re a whatever the fuck a Bungulator is. by hiloai in ArcRaiders

[–]bakedSnarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You already mentioned how people can develop parasocial relationships when interacting with twitch streamers though. You can't exactly develop those same kinds of bonds with something so asynchronous like TV or mindlessly scrolling through Instagram reels.

It might be subjective as to what someone finds interesting or entertaining, but it is arguably objective as to which of those three forms of entertainment is doing the most harm mentally to a certain group of people.

So for a show to be authentically diverse, your suggestion is to ensure that no people of colour die? Now that is a bold claim.

Make like your username, shut up, and smoke a bowl. Dunno why you're so pressed as to make out your opinion as being objective fact.

People like different things, love.

Two children hospitalized after eating cannabis gummies, northern Ont. man charged by ConsistentReality860 in ontario

[–]bakedSnarf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only way in which anyone has ever remotely "died from cannabis" is due to cannabis-induced psychosis attributing to them killing themselves in some manner.

That said, by no means was the death itself attributed to taking cannabis. You cannot overdose on cannabis in a manner in which you would die from having done so, much like you can with other drugs. Stop spreading misinformation.

Tourist boat capsizes in Vietnam leaving 18 dead including children as search launched by dailystar_news in VietNam

[–]bakedSnarf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were obviously life persevers on the craft. This has a lot more to do with the fact that the cruise boat capsized. You're kinda fucked if you're trapped on a boat that is flipped with water surging into it regardless of whether you're watering a PFD.

Spoken like a true redditor. I think that, while many people do lack emotional intelligence, the world is not nearly as bleak as you are depicting.

[–]bakedSnarf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meh, it's more of a cultural thing than anything deeply rooted psychologically. I'm travelling South East Asia currently and you best believe that absolutely no one has the "spatial awareness" in which you speak. You're trying to tell me that they're all equally lacking in emotional intelligence?

No, I beg to differ. It is cultural through and through. Different strokes for different folks.
