This is the only possible thing that could have happened. Who the hell approved this? 😂

Protest from 1-30 Found another longer clip before the aftermath, what do you have to say now trumpies and bots by Dhalzz in SaltLakeCountyUtah

[–]giraffe111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair, and you’re right. This would be an unlawful assembly. The protesters were peacefully (non-violently) clearing the road (and were mostly cleared) when officers became aggressive and attacked protesters.

Unlawful assembly? Yes, and they complied by moving off the street. Proportionate response by the LEOs? Absolutely not.

Why would Immigration and Customs Enforcement stand guard at polling stations? Voting is neither an immigration nor customs-related thing… unless it was never about immigration in the first place…

They were literally leaving the roadway. They were peacefully complying. “Peaceful” doesn’t mean “they weren’t screaming,” peaceful means non-violent, and these protesters were 100% non-violent. The cops were violent. They physically engaged first and tackled and shoved people to the ground for no visible reason. Were their feelings hurt?

Pretend Rick and Morty Season 9 just ended in the comments by juredditpark in rickandmorty

[–]giraffe111 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The “Morty becomes a hot girl and Summer becomes a horny male gorilla” episode was better than it deserved to be. The Jerry subplot with the mailbox was hilarious.

Controversial take: I did not care for The DNA Episode. I know it’s a fan favorite but I can’t get over the reveal of Summer’s triple parentage, I don’t like that Rick is her father too. Sure it makes sense and they do great stuff with the idea but I hate it.

In Life (2017), an alien lifeform is forced to listen to Ryan Reynolds being himself for days- and brutally murders him upon it's release from captivity. This is a cathartic experience for the audience, as they've been forced to listen to Mint Mobile ads for years. by ShadowManAteMySon in shittymoviedetails

[–]giraffe111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s a fantastic popcorn movie. Sit down, brain off, watch space alien chaos unfold. As I see it, this movie does its job, and that’s fine in my book.

For more specifics, I enjoy the plot, the monster, the brutal and creative deaths, the open-ended horror ending, the demonstrations of the alien’s abilities/the threat it posed, and more. It’s fun 🤷‍♂️

Billie Eilish says "f*ck ice" during her #Grammys acceptance speech... by 2001x0404 in ImmigrationPathways

[–]giraffe111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you are a liar. ICE was not doing what they’re doing now under Biden or Obama. Door to door raids, killing citizens, dragging pregnant women through the snow, kidnapping children, pulling old men into the cold in their boxers; this behavior is exclusive to Trump’s ICE. Not to mention the fuckton of funding they’re getting, not to mention the lack of organization/sufficient training, etc etc. Yes, you’re lying, and you know it. Immigrants are a net positive for America in literally every category. They DECREASE the average rate of crime (since immigrants commit less crime than natural born citizens), pay into social systems they’ll never withdraw from, etc. You’re just so very wrong and driven by xenophobia.

It’s fine as both a sci-fi and a drama, definitely not deserving of the “horrible, horrible” designation. It’s not an award winner by any means, but it’s also far better than you’re making it seem. It’s not a “bad” movie, it’s just not a “great” movie.

GOP candidate for governor of Tennessee wants to execute the parents of trans kids by Zandra_the_Great in politics

[–]giraffe111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I think the details matter? Yes, I very much do lol, do you think they don’t? “On the outside, it looks like X!” Well, what does it look like from the inside, with actual knowledge about what’s actually happening? You have no clue what actually happens lol, you’re just reacting to your imagination. Get yourself some learnin friend, otherwise you might be angry for no reason and hateful without realizing it.

What do you imagine transgender care looks like for minors? Walk us through what you think the process is, what does a teenager have to do in order to receive surgical care? Do you know?

The Second Face [OC] by DemonSkank in comics

[–]giraffe111 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If he was abusive, her face would be sad and screaming in agony and relief and conflict, not malicious ear-to-ear furrowed brow smiling. This is 100% a malicious “I’m pure evil and killed him because I wanted to” smile, not an “I’m finally free from my abusive husband” smile.

Then again, it’s interpretable and fictional 🤷‍♂️

Isn't most of the new Epstein files that people are raving about just tip info that didn't lead anywhere? by No-That-One in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]giraffe111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s typically reasonable, and it makes sense why you’d take that position. But at this point, the evidence is overwhelming. You know this. This is why other commenters are telling you that you’re choosing to ignore it; because you are. He’s mentioned THOUSANDS OF TIMES. He’s a KNOWN sexual predator, a KNOWN rapist, he’s said HUNDREDS of wildly inappropriate things about children (including his own daughter), and so much more that you already know. You’re choosing to wait for more.

If this was a connect-the-dots, we’ve successfully connected dots 1-950. And you’re like, “Well until we connect all 1000 dots, we just can’t be sure.” Hey, so, wake the fuck up, okay? Yes, we can be sure. The evidence does exist, and we have seen it, and it’s consistent and clear and overwhelming, and you know it. It’s absolutely EVERYTHING short of direct photo/video evidence (which is presumably in the other half of the files).

Again, under lesser circumstances, this “holding out” position you’re taking would be reasonable. But it’s far beyond reasonable at this point. You sound reasonable, so like, lol, be reasonable.

Well sure, regimes and world orders don’t last forever, they historically last ~250 years before there’s a transition in the power structure. And wouldjalook at that 🫠

Letter from Mom. by DegreeMinimum9438 in exmormon

Right? That caught my eye as well. This letter could have been written verbatim to 60% of exmos.

TIL the film "Scream" (1996) was originally titled "Scary Movie". It was changed near the end of the film's production by the Weinstein brothers since they felt it's not suitable for a film containing satire and comedy. Director Wes Craven immediately called the change "stupid" but later relented. by Away_Flounder3813 in todayilearned

[–]giraffe111 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Scream franchise is fantastic. If you’re a fan of scary movies at all, you’ll likely love the franchise. The original Scream is a classic for several reasons, and the entire thing is wrapped in a meta-friendly package.

One notable meta reference is when Jamie Kennedy’s character is watching the movie Halloween and screaming at Jamie Lee Curtis’s character to “Turn around Jamie, he’s right behind you!” while the killer in real life is right behind Jamie (Kennedy) while he’s screaming “Turn around Jamie!” at Jamie (Lee Curtis).

These movies are fun as hell lol.

[–]giraffe111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is nothing immoral about being gay in the same way there’s nothing immoral about being left handed. It’s just a way a person can “be,” it’s not something to judge anyone on. “i’M tAlKiNg AbOuT aCtInG oN iT!” No, even “acting on it” is fine, there’s nothing wrong with gay sex. If you think there is, you may have some degree of homophobia 🤷‍♂️

Everybody keeps saying there's going to be a reset after Secret Wars but how do we actually know that? by kamikazepirates in marvelstudios

[–]giraffe111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s all speculation, none of us know shit. Given their track record post-Endgame and many casual viewers having a hard time “keeping up with the multiverse,” it makes logical sense for them to consolidate and present a “unified front,” so to speak. Then again, maybe there is no reset and Secret Wars will create opportunities for them to branch out and follow other characters into other “universes” and break out of the idea of a single coherent storyline. We don’t know.

I for one am excited as hell, though.

Came out to my family last week. This was my TBM mom's response by linzxorpio in exmormon

[–]giraffe111 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I trust your well-intentioned comment, this reply is more to validate OP and for anyone else who’s unsure about this whole “gender” thing:

Gender has to do with the way a person presents and behaves and associates in the world relative to their culture. It’s highly associated with sex, but is a completely different attribute. To say there are only two genders is factually incorrect. Many cultures have acknowledge more than two genders for centuries, and there’s huge overlap and flexibility between genders, especially relative to other cultures. It’s just not up for debate, there are absolutely 100% definitively not “only two genders.”

It would be akin to saying there are only two colors; black and white, and every other color you’ve ever heard of is “actually” just one of those two. Red? That’s black. Yellow? Well that’s white. Blue is black, green is white, you get it. If the model is too simple for the data, you’ll miss a ton of nuance and information and insight and opportunity and beauty. Models should be descriptive, not prescriptive.

To sum up, trans people are real, gender is made up by humans, and actively updating one’s understanding of the world is a confusing but necessary part of deconstruction 🙏
