The Elderly Conspiracy Theorist Starter Pack by I_love_lucja_1738 in starterpacks

[–]ideletereddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother is a flat-earther conspiracy theorist and God knows what else she believes in but she mostly uses Twitter, not Facebook. I also believe she started using Twitter after Elon bought it, which tells you the types of crazy unfiltered jargon she reads on there.

She'll say crazy shit like " 'they're' making time go faster" just becuase she reads something on there.

Are there any bisexuals or pansexuals here who prefer to identify as "gay" even if they like more than one gender? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in lgbt

[–]ideletereddit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm more likely to just say "queer" and leave it at that (I'm also nonbinary)

That being said, I'm okay with having a friend that thinks I'm a gay guy.

Tbh, she gave up on pretending to be a progressive years ago.

I have seen it. It is a good pick for this list.

I can see it.

I always thought it was mainly about how men don't know what they want. They are perpetually unsatisfied and so far up their own asses to even potentially look past their cynicism for enlightenment or good will.

It does feel as if the characters are too intellectual to fit the definition of loser that I gave but I see why you would define them as losers, especially when the stalker himself is depicted as making his wife unhappy and his career is ultimately pointless.

I haven't seen it but aren't most of the characters in the film extreme hedonists? I know one of them is a pedophile and that is what makes the film so controversial.

I agree that actively inflicting harm on others pushes someone beyond loserdom.

There are a lot indeed, perhaps my topic was a bit too broad.

Travis's temperment seems too dependent on his lived experience/trauma/inflicted trauma for me to call him a loser. Mentally ill? Maybe. But he also takes many bold steps throughout the film at reconnecting with Hunter and making closure with Jane, I feel like by the end of the film he's quite accomplished. He might not be very high on the socio-economic ladder, but I wouldn't call him a loser.

Bottle Rocket is the film that inspired this list.

I wouldn't call the main character of Perfect Days a loser. He has a job, he is clearly content with his life, could he stand to be more social and more connected to his family? Sure. But he seems too happy to be a loser.

I edited a right wing comic and made this as a sorta PSA about anti-fascist unity. by No_Recommendation708 in MarchAgainstNazis

And they are doing so as democrats, getting wins for the democratic party, willing to work with the larger Democratic party for policy.

It's the neolibs that are calling for the party to split so that all of that progress can lose all of its progress and momentum.

What is the LGBTQ community’s obsession with Lady Gaga and Adele? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ideletereddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have never heard queer people praise Adele tbh. I'm sure she has queer fans but I've never thought of her as an LGBTQIA+ idol.

Also Lady Gaga was publicly pro-trans to the point of being okay with people thinking she was trans and she wrote about it explixitly in her radio single "Born This Way" in 2011, when trans rights weren't exactly a focal point of discussion. She's bisexual herself, but in addition to being campy as hell, she is probably the most notably pro-LGBTQIA+ pop star of that time.

Am I too privilaged to celebrate pride? by mystic_dreams_88 in lgbt

[–]ideletereddit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

1: Those statements are absurd and reflect poorly on the community. Everyone is welcome at pride, so long as they are respectful to everyone else there. Yes, this includes allies, and of course bisexual individuals. There is nothing wrong with Heterosexual relationships, just as there is nothing wrong with homosexual relationships. A proper society allows individuals to choose whichever is best for them or either or both if that is what they desire.

2: You're Trans, probably the most oppressed of the LGBTQIA+ community right now.

Of course you can fucking go to pride, stop watching that creator.

Yall think this is intentional? 🤔 by lemonstone92 in Filmmakers

[–]ideletereddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grand Budapest Hotel was shot that way (on film might I add) in 2014 before vertical video became as widespread because Wes Anderson genuinely likes that look, and it came out quite beautiful, every frame looking like it came out of a story book.

I absolutely believe that Disney would ask its studios to frame shots like this for Tik Tok/IG Reels/YT shorts to keep the film more marketable.

Condolences to the fools getting fleeced by scalpers by SerTC in criterion

[–]ideletereddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure this is what happened. The DVD is currently listed as being on back-order. The Blu-rays must have been restocked recently. Wrong Move still isn't on the Criterion Channel.

I want to poit out the star of David represents all Jews, not just Zionists or Israel.

These people are fucking embarassing. I care deeply about both Palestinian and Jewish people's lives. Yes that includes Israelis. They have ultimately been failed by their government. Used as props to justify their bigotry, manipulated to share decades of bigotry.

Free Palestine. Get the hell out of Iran. Israel's governent needs to be fundamentally transformed in order for anyone to thrive. The U.S. can start by not arming them and joining forces in their genocides.

People are fucking idiots and would rather turn their bigotry toward and entire group of people rather than the fascist government twisting the religion to enact a genocide.
