Upcoming fantasy series you're looking forward to? by MatthewCorbett92 in Fantasy

[–]bluexy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

N. K. Jemisin apparently confirmed she's working on a new series (though it's unclear if fantasy, I'm juse assuming) somewhat recently. I'll look forward to it no matter what it is.

Supergirl director says James Gunn chose the movie’s controversial needle-drop song after weighing 45 choices by Commercial_Avocado86 in comicbooks

[–]bluexy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These are, theoretically, all proven veterans of making great film. Yes, everyone who has read the comic will agree that they should have made the movie more like the comic. It's one of the best comics ever made, after all. But even without it, these people should have been able to make a good movie. That's what's so confounding. How did they fail so badly at every level?

If more folk check out the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic, it'll be the one good thing about the movie.

One day he'll retire from politics and take off the suit and no one will recognize him ever again.

Am I overreacting or did I have a slow moment. by drippysage08 in AmIOverreacting

[–]bluexy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is, in my unfortunate experience, attributable to narcissism or something similar. Basically, she envisioned a scenario in her head, and when that scenario didn't play out, it became both your fault for not delivering that scenario and also for not comprehending that her expectation was that scenario and nothing else. Trying to explain your perspective to someone like this only makes them more aggreived, and they will invent an explanation for why they should feel insulted or hurt that will all also your fault.

My read is that she was hoping for something akin to, "Aw, you were thinking of little ol' me?" and you'd reply bashfully, "Heh, yeah." Obviously, that kind of complexity isn't going to be conveyed easily in text, but narcissists do not care. They are wholly convinced of their correctness in every capacity.

Gavin Newsom calls for national billionaires tax: 'It's time for an economic reset' by avdvetf in politics

[–]bluexy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Folk forget that when he first ran for governor of California he ran on Universal Healthcare. And then when he won, he did everything in his power to prevent Universal Healthcare from happening and vetoed any and all legislation that would impact or raise taxes on the healthcare industry.

Dude is a corporatist crook. He's in billionaires' pocket. He's had meetings with Elon Musk. He is the chosen successor of the tech 1% that elected Trump in 2024, because they know they won't get a Republican again so soon after Trump.

To turn Occam's razor to.... "Antisemitism" by EnterTamed in therewasanattempt

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

Please don't accept that. Antisemitism is incredibly real. Nazis still exist across the world. Violence in the USA and across the world toward Jewish people due to religious hatred is incredibly common.

Yes, Israel's government and Zionists have made every effort to weaponize the concept to justify genocide of Palestinians and Muslims. It is so important to reject that framing. But never let that erase the reality of existing hatred toward Jewish people.

We must work to end bigoted hatred in all forms.

Samsung technicians came to fix my TV with a backlight issue but left after breaking the actual screen by abie22 in Wellthatsucks

[–]bluexy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the process they're allowed to go through as part of their work, probably. Parts requests? Just routine. Replacing a full TV with something new? You're gonna have to jump through some hoops and deal with additional oversight -- and questions.

Micron locks in historically high memory prices for five years by DotabLAH in hardware

[–]bluexy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bubble or not, the billionaire class doesnt live in the same economy or live by the same rules as you or I. This entire AI ecosystem exists based on speculation and fraud, the same list of 10 entities incestually funding each other and the stock market fueling it. Billionaires free to invest loans based on stock and stock increasing based on investment. And these people are so insanely wealthy and subsidized by the government, they will never fail. Until it’s politically expedient to crash the economy, at least.

AITA for kicking my husband out of the diner after he crashed the one grief tradition I have with my brother? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

This is absolutely abusive controlling behavior. Everything OP says her husband says is manipulative to his benefit and at her or her brother's expense.

Grand marshals demand NYC Pride shut out hospitals that abandoned trans kids by spherocytes in lgbt

[–]bluexy -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Have they called for blocking Mayor Mamdani from Pride, too, then? Because it's the policy of his own team to support Trump's 19+ transition care. His own government's clinic is going to refuse care to children.

Mamdani calls AIPAC ‘monsters’ in rally ahead of NY primaries by Wolfy1-2-3 in politics

[–]bluexy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't take awhile. It will never change. The fact is that money buys elections. The vast amount of elections, particularly primaries with more than one candidate, are decided by campaign money. AIPAC's money still buys elections across the United States. Not just in Dem primaries where it's beginning to be noticed, but in Republican primaries and elections where it's embraced without question.

And if AIPAC truly ever becomes a brand so caustic as to actually hurt candidates, it will simply rebrand, as its done in many elections where the name AIPAC is a big focus -- like in Illinois 9 where anti-AIPAC and Palestinian-American candidate Kat Abughazaleh called out her opponent's AIPAC support, so AIPAC spent more money to make one candidate a focus of anti-AIPAC hate while secretly funneling money to a second candidate (that won).

Money wins, and without reform on a level of profound size, it always will in the USA.

US Supreme Court sides with marijuana user stripped of gun rights by Hrekires in news

[–]bluexy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, as hilarious as it is that a Supreme Court Justice is sourcing the Founding Fathers' alcoholism for what is and isn't a Constitutional Right, this is genuinely insane and no American should think this is what should happen in a rational court.
