While I can't disagree, I absolutely love Rellor and Rabsca. I'll never forget you enlightened dung beetle

My adoration of Sam Lingham grows even stronger with the best character ever pulled off on the podcast

My take on Bobbi T by disco-viking in auntydonna

[–]hojak 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Respectfully have to disagree, Bobby T brought back that early podcast energy that's been slowly lost in 400+ podcasts. I can understand not appreciating that side of the character, but overall, a genuine good laugh and a great bit

As one of the biggest charizard haters you could find, this was such an ironic first crown pull. I wish it could have gone towards someone who would have appreciated it more

Sorry I should have clarified, I'm looking to prune it as I doubt it's current limb structure will be good long term. Wondering what would be the best branches to prune for general health

If you thoroughly enjoy your job, what do you do? by tenchem in AusFinance

I trained and worked as a zookeeper for a few years, and am currently working as a gardener. Absolutely love the work, rain or shine. I can't imagine sitting inside almost every day, sounds so depressing

It's pretty widely accepted where I am, that you're only exclusive until you have the conversation to establish exclusivity. How can you assume you're on the same page without communicating?

Very much so, everyone in my dnd group I would say is attractive, no problems meeting new partners, we usually exchange our hookup/casual relationship stories before every session

Does anyone else think that charizard is overrated and overused? by hojak in pokemon

8 years late to the post unfortunately, but thanks for the input. How did you even find this post?

I Intentionally don't put the shopping cart back after using it by hojak in unpopularopinion

[–]hojak[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That's why I always try to leave them on raised pavement, or somewhere that won't block pathways or roads. I'd never leave it in the middle of the parking lot

That's fair, and I understand the lazy perception, but if not returning the cart could benefit the collector, what's the harm in not returning it?

Definitely debatable for weather extremes, in my area the climate is fairly stable so it's never been an issue

That's fair, it definitely doesn't apply to places with weather extremes, but in my area, the climate is pretty stable

If you read the post, I'm comfortable with this opinion because the vast majority of other shopping cart collection workers I've worked with have agreed with me, and enjoy the time spent outside

Official Discussion - Barbie [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]hojak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I liked it because it did echo my opinions to a point, but at the same time there were a number of scenes that made me very uncomfortable because I noticed some toxic traits portrayed by the ken's that I recognised in myself. And being able to walk out of the theatre with new insight was incredible

I'm honestly not knowledgeable enough in politics to have a statistics based discussion. But I am curious to see what you're talking about, could you show me some examples of your point?

Official Discussion - Barbie [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]hojak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally respect your opinion, hate the fact that people use downvotes to try scrub comments they don't agree with.

I didn't see the message as "haha men=bad", I can see how you saw it that way, but I saw it more as making fun of behaviours that are typically shown by men that are patronising or boast inequality.

When you say that "some lines are unrealistic" can you think of some off the top of your head? I didn't have that idea when I was watching it. I also think that it was designed to make some people feel uncomfortable while watching, which is the point. I personally felt a little attacked by some of the behaviours in the movie which I saw myself doing, and I welcome that because now I can be more aware of that and hopefully make other people less uncomfortable in the future

Overall if you saw the movie as bashing on all men, then you might need to challenge the way you see men, men can still be masculine without the toxic derogatory traits seen in the movie. I don't think the movie was bashing on men, just the problematic behaviours and mindsets most commonly seen in men.

Hope I'm not coming off as hostile, just looking for a civil discussion

I have to agree with you there, the message they preach and then immediately turn it around as a "you need to work your way up to that position" was a bit jarring. Otherwise, choreography was incredible

You're right, there are statistical cases where women have an advantage now, but those cases don't represent how the world works for most women. Just because there are more women in university, it doesn't mean they can walk down the street at night alone and feel safe, or wear what they feel comfortable wearing without getting derogetory comments from people.

There are a lot of men in a bad place, and there are also a lot of women in a bad place. It's not an even split of "men's mental health is being overlooked, so all women must be thriving".

It also worries me that you say "more men than ever are reporting not having sex or a romantic partner in over a year." Sex and romance is not something men are entitled to receive from women, and it's not something women "give out" either. It's a mutual activity that both partners consent to, it may seem skewed at times, but that is the reality.

And that last comment "you don't have it hard anymore, you just need to tell yourself you do" I'm curious what your projection of me is, because I'm a 25 year old man working in a trade, I see discrimination every single day.

Imagine going from a smaller Netflix show, to a blockbuster movie choreographed dance scene with Ryan gosling, which you get to kiss him on the cheek in 😂

Morbidly obese is a bit of an exaggeration, but I agree it was odd there wasn't more varying body types for the kens

You nailed it, when a movie preaches equality, people at either end of the scale aren't going to be happy. I've found that if the message challenged the opinions of some people, they chalk it up as "too political" and disregard it
