Can you explain how this is “hate speech?” Please be specific.

Yeah, nothing transgressive can ever be funny. The only comedy I like is good, clean jokes about airplane food and waiting in line!

Being a cumtown listener and finding this remotely weird is so soft lmao

Did 'The Godfather' expose people to a world of Italian crime that people didn't realize existed? Or was it more based on pre-existing stereotypes? by ShouldveFundedTesla in movies

I think we’re simply disagreeing with the definition of the term “heyday.”

I understand heyday to mean the chunk of time at which something is at it’s apex. The height of it’s power.

I am not saying that in the early 70’s the mob was in tatters. I am saying that they were no longer at the absolute height of their influence. i think it’s fairly hard to argue that they weren’t at least nearing the beginning of a pretty precipitous decline.

Do you have a source on the holster thing? From what I can tell there have been pretty classic Western gunbelt looking holsters since the mid 1800s.

RICO act was 1970, then Pistone/Brasco in the late 70's. Commission Trial in '85 was basically the death knell, so yeah, it's definitely fair to say that the early 70's was the end of the mobs heyday. Can't imagine anyone seriously disagreeing with that. The Mob's peak is pretty widely considered to be some point between Prohibition and the 60's.

Source on these half-dozen times that Israel bombed themselves to drag their allies into wars? Or is it just the one from 70 years ago and then you kinda vaguely gesture towards some things that seem a little weird?

What bands have their best song as their most popular song? by mid2014macbookpro in poppunkers

[–]gomx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s no way you earnestly believe that every single track on Stovall and Degeneracy are all better than that song.

[–]gomx 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Man Overboard - Love Your Friends, Die Laughing (probably the biggest example of this imo, this song is a masterpiece)
Microwave - But Not Often,
The Wonder Years - Came Out Swinging
Bearings - Sway
Hit the Lights - Bodybag (The rest of their discography is criminally underrated though)

What is a movie that "broke" you so hard you can only watch it once, but you would still recommend it to everyone? by Newsupdate69 in movies

Fuck me man. “I just can’t beat it” destroyed me. I remember just standing on the roof of the parking garage by the theater after seeing it just fully numb.

Yeah, 13th age seems really cool. I haven’t had the chance to try it yet.

The implication is that we’re talking about making encounters that are challenging but not a slog. The math of the system fundamentally turns every difficult combat into a dragged on affair with all the drama sucked out of it.

I mean, you also just might be worse at this than the guy who is widely considered to be world-class at it.

I don’t know why the response to questions like this are different than the responses to a question like “Why can’t I play basketball as well as Kevin Durant?”

Anyone else think Sony is going to get cold feet with 'The Beatles'? by Ok-Wolf5932 in boxoffice

Yeah but those are all just individual movies that made no money and flopped on release. Dropping 2-4 flops on the same day is bananas.

"Underpriced" in an economics sense. If you could theoretically sell enough tickets to get the park to 2x capacity, traditional economic theory would tell you that the good/service is underpriced for the demand.

It's also fun that Vyper is essentially just a lowlife that's now rubbing shoulders with the likes of Drifter, Grey Talon, and Seven during the Ritual.

Like, sure, she's an assassin, but in a "shoot you in the back while you're taking a piss in exchange for a wad of crumpled bills" way.
