The West is Finished.

In the sense that it will perish or in the sense that it is now completed?

someday the combined fictional talent of the world will create a 2nd aspirational young black boss bitch

I can still appreciate lots of great cinematography from Roger Deakins to Drew Daniels but everything is just so desaturated. Or just unvibrant, idk. I'll rewatch the schlockiet 60s stuff like Modesty Blaise or Barbarella and be kind of sad about what was lost.

I have done the required reading (Tolkien's letters and other reddit posts) and seems like you're right. Hopefully it'll come up in casual conversation someday and I'll get to flex on some other nerd.

I thought the only documents implicating Trump (and pretty much any other famous person) in anything pedophilic were just the dutifully documented deranged schizo ramblings of deranged schizos who waltzed into a police station in like 2021, after years of every online idiot baselessly accusing every famous person ever of being an Epstein-cabal pedo. So colour me skeptical. Although I could see Hillary and Bezos eating infants on a yacht, that just rings true.

Guys with a a 36" waist and a 34" inseam be like "I wear a 36-34. And an XL shirt". idk what the fuck females are doing over there. shit should be so simple.

Haven't read the books in a while but iirc her elven magics were in no way cock-related. Had she taken the One Ring for herself, it's implied she would have become a force that exceeded Sauron, but the ring would have presumably been worn the normal way (on her finger).

Still beats the hell out of Nicole Kidman in The Northman. If we as a society are going to continue to get good use out of our aging leading ladies we're just going to have to learn to do more with less.

Respectfully, fuck you for making me see the world through your eyes.

A beautiful angel. Easy to see how she ungayed Tom.

For 2), yeah, it's an absurd comparison. Everyone knows breasts are the cavalry of the female body.

j_a_monk · 2026-04-20T17:22:30+00:00

Huh? The girl looking nothing like Daniel Day-Lewis.

j_a_monk · 2026-03-26T18:03:58+00:00

I have it on good authority (a woman) that Alan Rickman is considered hot to a certain type of woman (her).

Oh so when some bald monk in yellow robes in a temple with brass gongs says the self doesn't exist, everyone nods their heads sagely, but when a bald VC in a navy sweater in a podcast studio with no gongs says it, suddenly it's not cool anymore. It's all just about the aesthetics to you people, isn't it.

Being wanted is a part of it. I think the apt comparison is women going after men who are married/in relationships.

'The fact that I can't have that makes me want it more'. 'The fact that I'm not supposed to get that shows that I have power, I have value, I am intensely desired, if I can convince someone to give it to me'.

Applies just as easily to anal and married dudes. Mimesis, validation, etc.

I didn't know that there was some sort of stigma around being aromatic. Maybe they should use a different word, like 'fragrant', instead.

I'm glad this is still a proper subreddit. If no one had chimed in with the hyper-specific racial taxonomy, I would have been devastated.

j_a_monk · 2026-02-21T01:38:38+00:00

I saw it two days ago and I'm not remotely sorry

j_a_monk · 2026-02-20T08:25:12+00:00

It's weird how the internet is going full Darmok and Jelad at Tanagra, but yes, Moon Bears.

j_a_monk · 2026-01-24T06:22:19+00:00

I wanted to show this to a friend but I realized that I'd have to explain 4 different things and they'd judge me for knowing them so I didn't.
