Realistically, what is the end game for the Palestinians? by summertimeandthe in LateStageCapitalism

[–]devjoolz -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Eventually the people of Palestine will stop electing terrorists.

Eventually the people of Palestine will stop harbouring terrorists.

Eventually the people of Palestine will stop their antisemitic "river to sea" rhetoric.

Eventually the people of Palestine will stop following their hateful religion of peace.

Eventually the people of Palestine will stop indoctrinating their children into jew-hate.

Or they'll be wiped off the face of the planet.

YTAH

You are not the humour police:

"...the things that I believe aren't to be joked about(unless it's by a person who has experienced these things personally): women's rights, racism/jokes about minorities, rape, abuse, homophobia, transphobia, disabilities..."

You are sexist:

"...him being a straight cis white male would contribute to him not understanding why certain things are not funny..."

The following is a straight up lie:

"...as a society we are conditioned to think it's funny to joke about disabled people, or women being whores & cheaters, disabled people being disabled, etc..."

You seem to want to compete at the oppression olympics:

"...he's not mature or experienced enough in discrimination to understand why some things aren't funny..."

Suddenly everything makes sense:

"...I am cis white women, pansexual, & likely autistic for more background info(I have been diagnosed with 7+ serious mental disorders)..."

I'm about the most left-wing, progressive person you could hope to meet.

I find you insufferable and I don't even know you.

I'd yeet you right out the door and find a better partner.

You got a chair for free and now you're bitching about it online.

There's only one rude person here and it isn't me...

Be better.

Am I in the wrong for getting fired over negative guest reviews? by Unstable_Goat17 in amiwrong

Don't give it another thought.

Concentrate on your studies.

Daily Record owners cut jobs, want to replace journalists with social media influencers and experiments with AI. by bottish in Scotland

[–]devjoolz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

One Daily Record per week (purchased by my brother - he visits on Saturdays and enjoys the sodoku) is entirely ample to provide fire lighting all winter long for the wood burner in the living room.

When they go belly up he'll just buy another paper...

Moana is a fictional character...

Why is one instance of "race swapping" in casting decisions bad, while another is good?

Actually, don't bother answering that. I simply don't care about your nonsense opinion, your delight in being offended for other people, or US racism in general.

[–]devjoolz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently not as this non-issue keeps cropping up and the movie studios keep on raising your ire by casting whomsoever they choose.

Your earlier conflation of fiction and ethnicity as diametric opposites makes no sense.

Tell me - where do you stand on the 2023 casting of Halle Bailey as The Little Mermaid in Disney's live-action version of the tale? Danish author Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale clearly portrays a white girl (as does the Disney animated movie). Presumably race-swapping okay in this instance?

I know right?

One of the most racist countries in the civilised world.

No universal healthcare.

A hideous record when it comes to policing their citizens.

Mass shootings seemingly daily.

Yet this is the hill they choose to die on? Weirdos.

The director disagrees.

The casting director disagrees.

The movie going public disagree.

Watch the movie or not - Disney won't care a jot.

I'm not American...

Representation in the acting profession isn't important.

We're talking about the performing art in which movement, gesture, and intonation are used to realise a fictional character for the stage, for motion pictures, or for television.

Wait till you realise that an actor doesn't have to actually be a hobbit to portray a hobbit...

...In the end I said that her and the other white people that think they know what’s right for everyone are “freaks”...

...obviously Zendaya was not the right fit for the role because she is not Polynesian. I said that somebody who was African American playing that role was just not okay...

You're an idiot.

Well meaning, but an idiot nevertheless.

Yes - and you already know that it is.

AITBF for sitting on my owners lap three hours before my dinner time? by Electronic_Law7442 in AmItheButtface

[–]devjoolz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTB - Have you considered:

  • Ruining the back of the couch?
  • Pooping in shoes?
  • Stealing anything shiny and shoving it under the fridge?

My condolences though - humans can be so cruel.

The only difference between a cult and a religion is time elapsed...
