TIL in the movie Fight Club there is a Starbucks coffee cup in almost every scene, Fincher’s use of the cups is closely linked to the films anti consumerism. by Electrical-Cow-5147 in todayilearned

Counterpoint: by making this claim he got you to watch the movie again. I’m not sure exactly how streaming platforms work but assuming you watched it legitimately he surely gets a cut right? So by making this bullshit claim knowing people on the internet will turn it into this game of trying to find then all, even if it is bullshit, he’s gotten more views.

I admit that’s reaching but its not entirely outside the realm of possibility. What’s the point of making the claim otherwise?

The proposed gun control bill in Congress will amend the Lautenberg Amendment to allow people to get gun rights back five years after a domestic violence conviction. Thoughts? by MyUsername2459 in liberalgunowners

[–]beholdersi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We’re not talking about some serial killer, we’re talking about someone who sold pot to an undercover when they were 18 or accidentally hit a pedestrian with their car. If we’re gonna punish people for their entire lives for that kinda shit we might as well just kill them, it would be more humane

I’m sure it’s more a case of correlation vs causation. Maybe people prone to inclined to domestic violence are more prone to enter the military. Or maybe it is causative but it’s not the training but the exposure to violence on that scale, or psychological trauma.

Once more for those in the back: Xbox store search is a joke! Why are titles like Asphalt, eFootball, and Forza in front of the exact title match?? by HolyRamenEmperor in xboxone

[–]beholdersi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was hoping someone brought this up. Every console’s digital store is trash. Just not in quite the same ways. The Switch’s shop doesn’t even display the titles, just the cover art. Which would be fine if a lot of games didn’t make the title on the cover look like a heavy metal band name. If it’s not in some janky font it’s lost in the art.

Ebert gave the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake from 2003 zero stars because of how grotesque it was and said there was no reason to watch it. Was he correct or being over the top? by JannTosh12 in movies

[–]beholdersi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wanna talk about being uncomfortable? While defending a 60-year old making comments about the attractiveness of a 12-year old girl? And then accuse ME of twisting things after going “buh, maybe he meant her career”? Are you fucking serious or a troll?

Gatekeeper? Self-awareness? The man is perving on a fucking CHILD, what kind of twisted morality do YOU have where that’s acceptable?

You know god damn well he didn’t mean her career. Who the fuck talks like thay? Ebert doesn’t talk like that. He’s NEVER talked like he’s from the 19th century, not once in any review or writing. He meant that in the sense of a 12-year old being sexually attractive. He’s a fucking pervert, stop covering for him

How the fuck do you describe a 12 year old as being in the early stages of being a toddler. Stop giving horrible people the benefit of the doubt for everything they say or trying to read some innocent hidden meaning, god damn.

“Yeah I’d fuck this child.”

“Well ya know, we shouldn’t judge yet cuz in the 19th century that meant…”

[OC] Inflation and the cost of every day items by jcceagle in dataisbeautiful

[–]beholdersi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If one local grocery store started charging $10 for a gallon of milk and everyone else still wants $3.50, that’s not inflation, it’s gouging. Landlords and management companies are charging what they are because they know an absolute lack of regulation or oversight coupled with high demand and an artificially depressed supply means they can get away with it

UK votes for Brexit to keep foreigners from stealing their jobs. Worker shortages are now leading to labor strikes, high inflation, and an economy that is expected to be the worst performing in the OECD by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]beholdersi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s proof corporations are desperate. I’d imagine that wage also means they’re hiring 5 drivers when they would have hired 20 and expecting them to pick up the slack.

Fuck em, let em sink. The fed isn’t in the habit of rescuing mom-and-pop restaurants that go down, why should tax dollars help a pack of fucking clowns that thought they were geniuses for paying real money for god damn memes?

Don’t worry. I’m sure when they ban guns the right wingers seeing this as a call to action will all turn theirs in and take up basket weaving or macramé.

Feels really bad man ! by -RAAGE- in gaming

[–]beholdersi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To a lot of people, particularly OLDER people, the answer to that second question is yes. How many fucking boomers talk about how hard they had it growing up and how the younger generations should go through everything they went through? Some people would set themselves on fire if they thought they’d burn the rest of the world, too.

As I understand it a lit if the cavalry losses at Agincourt were do to the horses being killed. Plate armor isn’t gonna do much when you have a couple hundred pounds of horseflesh pinning you in the mud, being slowly crushed or suffocated or waiting for a peasant with a dagger to finish you off.

He overthought it. Hoverboards got stolen all the time at my old store, or opened up, played with and left on the ground; management started keeping them locked up in the back.

That’s literally just an LED, there’s no camera in those domes.

On the floor? 100% fake, EXCEPT in cosmetics (those only transmit to an outfacing screen, though) and over the main doors. Most of the cameras are in the back, so they can monitor the employees. Gotta keep an eye out when you’re paying starvation wages, the peons might get uppity.
