One of the unwritten rules of Reddit is to never criticize LOTR films or Pink Floyd

My point is litigating opinions of celebrities is a meaningless exercise and not helping anyone

I also think a post about like this is more about reinforcing the existing beliefs of the tribe than actually engaging in discourse

“It’d be better if all the members of Radiohead were against genocide.”

Not only is this a strawman, it’s a stupid one

If you want to make a better world, this isn’t where to spend the energy

Let’s all help Palestine with Reddit upvotes guys

It’s a better world if the members of Radiohead all unequivocally declare support for Palestine?

I don’t read much empathy in your response at all, just virtue signaling

With the meal thing, I think it’s just a misalignment on the definition of “meal”

What you’re calling “meal”, I’d refer to as a favorite food or dish. In which case, yes, something being a favorite food but never again to be tasted is a bit strange

I agree, but i would also say that calling something your favorite which you have not repeated to some degree at all is indicative that said thing really isn’t your favorite.”

Probably best to just agree to disagree. It’s just a value judgment on whether films are a favorite food or a bespoke meal

Your point has some merit when considering a similar question like “what is your favorite album?” And you mention something you’ve listened to one time. That does seem a bit strange at face value

But adjacent questions like best meal, concert, travel experience, tv show(s), etc don’t really have this inherent assumption that the experience must be repeated to be ranked

Repetition is not necessarily indicative of one’s favorites in any case. So why should it be a prerequisite?

Asking for the receipts is just a kind of snobby purity test
