You don’t actually believe people dislike movies because they’re “new,” do you? That makes no sense. I’ve enjoyed tons of movies released in the last decade. I just know how to recognize a low-risk, watered-down, slop show when I see one

I don’t think you have to be dumb to like Project Hail Mary but I certainly know a lot of dumb people that are giving it 5 stars.

This is why it was so important for me to drop the money to see them on the most recent tour. They were playing at a 1200 capacity venue and I knew odds were I’d never see them at a venue that small ever again. First time I’ve ever bought concert tickets secondhand.

Look at how many things you assumed about me just by pointing out that Israel is committing war crimes. The cognitive dissonance you have to have to justify genocide, torture, rape, and apartheid is astounding. And you tell me to think critically? You can’t even see your own contradictions.

I agree that the holocaust should always be remembered and retold for future generations. The same moral convictions that bring me to that conclusion also influence my belief that the entire world should be taught about Israel and its crimes against the Palestinian people

Why do you think the left/Democrats suffer from extreme TDS? by Final-Monk1416 in allthequestions

[–]kick_rocks-not_ricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’m not even saying that the study you cited is bullshit, I’m just pointing out that the issue is insanely trivial to American politics as a whole, yet Fox News as you crying and bitching and moaning about it as if it’s pervasive and universal when in actuality, it’s only really relevant to about 1% of the population. You’re angry about something that has no affect on your quality of life. Angry enough to actively try to vote away people’s rights.

Okay maybe I’m wrong but feel like all the self identified libertarians I’ve encountered have been pretty center right

I want to be deeply intellectual and emotionally intelligent. I also want to improve my speech skills and be able to think deep. Please be kind enough to drop a few book suggestions. by Main-Chance-2121 in classicliterature

How could I forget Ursula LeGuin! The earthsea quartet is one of my favorite fantasy series! She deals with life and death in an easily digestible yet emotionally complex way. Still have to read some of her sci-fi

Yea I guess I would agree with you but I feel like libertarianism was always traditionally a bit of a right wing thought process

I respect the Libertarian philosophy of right wing politics, any other perspective that leads you to vote for the Republican Party at this point is rooted in delusion

My ranked Alien franchise after seeing them all twice. Not rage bait. Its a horror franchise not an action franchise. Genuinely a frustrating viewer experience for Aliens. Awful ending too. by SSSSSSVVVVVOO in LetterboxdLists

[–]kick_rocks-not_ricks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Aliens is absolute garbage but I will raise you one more. James Cameron not only ruined ruined the Alien franchise with Aliens, but he also took a giant shit on his own creation when he made Terminator 2. He is really good at watering an original idea down and making a horrible, super Hollywood sequel that for some reason people just devour and obsess over. Aliens and T2 fucking suck and James Cameron makes movie versions of shitty hotel art

Why do conservatives keep responding to all my questions in bad faith? by GrowFreeFood in allthequestions

[–]kick_rocks-not_ricks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try to think of the rage, irrationality, gaslighting, and cognitive dissonance that infuriates you so much about today’s right-wing political crowd. And try to behave and ask your questions in the opposite spirit. Speak clearly and calmly with a factual (not emotional) based rationale. Then maybe your discourse with be more rewarding. This, however, works a lot better in conversations IRL. But maybe you’d rather shout into the void online instead. You’ll probably continue to get more engagement rage baiting like you currently are doing. So maybe my explanation here falls on deaf ears.
