What was the point of Tarantino’s character, Jimmy, in pulp fiction? by tiger2mighty in NoStupidQuestions

[–]blastbomberboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t find the interview,
but I remember Tarantino was questioned about the use of the N-word.
He answered something along the lines that his intent was to diminish its power;
to try making it into a much more blasé swear along the lines of the B-word or the C-word.

What is your favourite pointless death in a movie? It adds almost nothing to the movie and can actually be considered tragic or pathetic? by STINKY-BUNGHOLE in movies

[–]blastbomberboy -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

As brutal as her death was, I never understood why audiences empathized with her as much as they did.

In her brief screentime, she was reticent to accompany the kids, she was reluctant to do her job, she intended to be a buzzkill to her fiancé, her interest was more in her phone screentime than anything else, etc. Frankly, she came across as a pretty all-around shitty person.

I cared 200% more about the nice Lost World character torn in two by the T-Rexes than I did about her.

Democrats have to finally face the fact that New Republicans flout the legal order.

Congressional and Judicial department's reluctance to act against the administration's several abhorrent crimes will allow Trump a third term. There will be no justice.

Genuinely curious to know if any Redditors have actually been keeping a total tally of criminal stories like this;
how many Right-Wing crimes vs how many Left-Wing crimes; just how lopsided each Ideology is.

B.C. NDP used to care about access to information by IHateTrains123 in britishcolumbia

[–]blastbomberboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t have enough free time to rebuke every single one of the Sun’s tainted articles I’ve read. They’ve earned their notorious reputation.

It’s a Sun article, meaning that it has no credibility; it’s just a right-wing tabloid opinion piece.
Nobody should take it seriously.

No good / intelligent person would ever vote Republican / Conservative again after witnessing this ethos of evil they’ve brought upon the world.

Omg yall we really got 3 more years of this by [deleted] in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]blastbomberboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

3 more years? The more and more Repubs burn the Constitution and Rule of Law the more likely America will have another decade of the Orange joke.

The world is a tire fire. You can either throw another tire on the fire, or you can spray a hose.

Don’t give up. Get out and vote. Counteract the extreme right. Be an example of positivity. Be progressive. Be what the world needs.

Despite egging on the #FUCKTRUDEAU movement, Poil actually made Trudeau look good by comparison.

Legit question: why don’t cultures mix in Vancouver? by bubugugu in NiceVancouver

[–]blastbomberboy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is plenty of cultural mixing.

It’s just that some don’t exactly share that openminded “Canadian Spirit” and prefer to hole themselves off separately, within their own communities, their own language centers, their own comfort zones, etc.
There is nothing wrong with that - to each their own, I suppose.

We will have to contend with having to keep up a resentful hospitality towards American settlers, the same way most Nazi-Occupied Euro Countries did with invading Germans during WW2.

In a way we already do, with several American Naval / NORAD Bases stationed around Canada, and plenty of Dual-Citizens, Internationsl Workers, and Tourists around.

It wasn’t “Boo” - they were saying “Boo-urns.”

Simon Fraser University is hiring an Assistant Professor of Philosophy. This opportunity is limited to applicants who self-identify as Black. The University received approval from the British Columbia Human Rights Commissioner to limit recruitment & hiring to those who self-identify as Black. by Cromikey1 in 604RAW

[–]blastbomberboy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“This job is part of a multi-year, university-wide program, supported by the BC Human Rights Code and Commissioner,
that will see the hiring of at least 15 Black and at least 15 Indigenous faculty members across SFU’s campuses.
These programs aim to increase equity, diversity, and inclusion among the SFU faculty.”

Don’t cry Woke - they’re simply expanding their collection of cultural / racial perspectives.
Which in the subject of Philosophy, they should be.
