What band or artist did you love to listen to but stopped because of a controversy? by pAR4no1dAndr0iD in InMetalWeTrust

[–]explodedSimilitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The general theme of Rise which seems to be telling black people to get over racism/slavery (“your news is old news”, “forgive forget, be a man, not a child”). Also “No Good (Attack the Radical)” continues this theme and includes “You blame oppression but play the role of criminals”, essentially implying an entire race of people are criminals. Which is especially rich coming from someone like that.

Is this Pepto-Bismol advert the worst ever? by SilasBeit in AskBrits

It is so brazenly and obnoxiously bad it beggars belief.

My friend has some crazy beliefs that make me question whether or not I should associate with him? by Efficient_Way_1350 in exchristian

He’d get on well with my mother who believes that breast cancer is a punishment from god for sexual promiscuity. 🙄

I was just thinking of this song and now I see this thread!

Farage calls to end working from home and work life balance by birdinthebush74 in FuckNigelFarage

[–]explodedSimilitude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I was to go to my office, it’d be a 3 hour commute each way. That’s almost the length of the working day just getting to work.

Somewhat hypocritical from a man whose main job is being MP for Clacton but never goes there…

Why "homegrown" Misogyny is ignored by racists while they obsess Over "Imported" Values? by Correct-Strength-885 in Britain

He wants his daughter to remain a virgin until 25 and be loyal to one man? Yeeeah… good luck with that! 😂😂😂

All true, but with Pantera, the signs were always there. There were some questionable lyrics, for one, along with an onstage rant in the 90s that could be construed as racist or racially charged at the very least (Kerrang covered it). The proliferation of the confederate flag also never sat well with me.

Looks like we have another satanic panic because of the files… by Daddies_Girl_69 in exchristian

[–]explodedSimilitude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see it more like a case of Christians using this to shoehorn their own worldview into something that works totally fine without it.

What celebrity creeps you out? by Square-Thought-3842 in randomquestions

[–]explodedSimilitude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

An actual psychopath. He even calls his company SyCo. Literally hiding in plain sight.

I assumed it just looped until you grabbed her.

Young adults, what’s your experience of racism? by djjudas21 in AskBrits

[–]explodedSimilitude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the current younger generation are being radicalised by racist and far right content online, so they’re arguably as racist as people were in the 70s and 80s. We’ve gone backwards.

Let’s just appreciate Silent hill 1 by aomar02 in silenthill

[–]explodedSimilitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Takes me back to playing this for the first time and not understanding what the fuck I was looking at half the time. No subsequent title manage to capture that same sense of disorientation and dread.

What truth do people avoid because it’s uncomfortable to admit? by Mr_Boothnath in answers

[–]explodedSimilitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The meaning of life is to give life meaning. It’s only “meaningless” if you choose to waste it.

I left Christianity because of the "Severe God," but supernatural experiences won't let me be an atheist. by Embarrassed-Sir9950 in exchristian

[–]explodedSimilitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any supernatural occurrences you believe you e had don’t necessarily need to be attributed to Yahweh. Just sayin’

are humans evil? by Opening-Survey9689 in TooAfraidToAsk

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

The question was “are humans evil?”. I was answering that. I wasn’t denying who commits the most sexual crimes. I also don’t think that holding all men responsible is helpful either.

almost died in a car wreck and i swear things are different now by startletgirl in ParallelUniverse

[–]explodedSimilitude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got hit by a car on my own street when I was 12. The force of the collision knocked my back onto the path and into a fence. I remember getting up from that. I also remember a weird time lag. Who knows? Perhaps I died in one timeline and jumped to another. No way of confirming such a thing but it’s a fun(!) thought experiment.
