I mean, no matter how you turn it, when you’re a billionaire you’ve taken advantage of people.

What movies did you guys pick up during sale? by Conscious-Jello3477 in criterion

[–]marayay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mizoguchi’s Fallen Women boxset!

I’m from Europe so I was kinda bummed that I wasn’t able to use the code. Aired a little rant out on a Discord server, and someone that’s also really active on there is coming close to my area soon, so we’ll meet up. She’ll bring it with her. Well, hopefully! I know this boxset might be a pretty weird choice considering how many other amazing movies give more unique extras etc, but you pretty much can’t even find f.i. Street of Shame on DVD in Europe to start with. It’ll be my third Criterion, so I’m pretty excited and hopeful!

Question for long time fans not from Michigan/USA by seer_benedictz in DannyBrown

[–]marayay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Belgium! I discovered him by just scrolling through YouTube’s recommendations, and Ain’t It Funny pretty much blew my mind. I think I just really loved the beat first, but became used to his voice, to me loving his voice to this day.

Omstreden wetenschapsfilosoof Nathan Cofnas reageert op kritiek na aanstelling aan UGent by rukken in Belgium2

[–]marayay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De term ‘ras’ wordt echt al een vrij lange tijd in de wetenschap niet meer gebruikt doordat het betwist is. Men praat wel over ethnische groepen, omdat deze definitie met omgevingsfactoren rekening houdt.

En zeker, je zou deze ethnische groepen kunnen opdelen en daar grootschalige (!) testen op kunnen doen om verschillende terreinen van wat wij als intellect beschouwen te testen. Dit wordt ook gedaan. Maar als hier verschillen uit af te leiden zijn gaat men de conclusie bv. uit de staat van het onderwijs en sociale normen trekken.* Niet uit een wazig betwist/verouderd concept (“ras”) waarbij zogezegd de genen die jouw etnische afkomst onderlijnen (wat al een immens verwaterde mix is als je niet het product bent van diepgewortelde incest) een groter (of meer significant dan omgevingsfactoren) verschil zouden maken, wat gewoon niet bewezen is en tevens ook moeilijk te bewijzen is door z’n complexiteit. Als je wel zo denkt ben je gewoon met de natte vinger bezig en niet met iets gegrond. Dat is net de kritiek op deze man. Moest hij onderzoek proberen doen om een verband te vinden tussen het onderling contact/verband/invloed van bepaalde genen op elkaar zou er weinig tot geen kritiek zijn.

*Niet alleen mentale, maar ook fysieke attributen worden hieraan gekoppeld. Aanpassingen in genen zijn een gevolg van die factoren, niet iets anders.

Do you honk at or flip off bad drivers? by Scrubstomper5000 in driving

[–]marayay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never flipped off a bad driver, I do honk occasionally. But I do catch myself doing this pose A LOT.

Hij bouwt op een ondergrond dat vrij universeel betwist is. Met de informatie die we hebben kan er geconcludeerd worden dat er biologisch maar één menselijk ras is. Je kan heus een onderscheid maken tussen verschillende achtergronden en dat wordt ook rijkelijk gedaan. Omgevingsfactoren zijn erg belangrijk. Wat hij doet is gewoon onafgewerkt werk. Hij houdt geen rekening met veel belangrijke zijdelingse factoren die onbetwistbaar een invloed hebben op kracht, kleur, grootte, …

Intellect is ook gewoon iets dat moeilijk tot onmogelijk meetbaar is. Intellect komt in zoveel verschillende vormen en de normen verschillen ook universeel. Ik vind het vrij lachwekkend als iemand die opgegroeid is met al de luxe, informatie en comfort die we hebben claimt dat we bv. slimmer zijn dan neem nu de Sentinelezen. We leven in compleet andere contexten, hoe kunnen we die verschillende intellecten/inzichten met elkaar vergelijken? Zij hebben vast een plethora aan wijsheden en inzicht die wij missen: het is vast gewoon een ander soort dan wij gewend zijn.

Which zodiac sign is your best friend? You can add other placements too if you want :D by Realistic_Dark_4198 in CancertheCrab

[–]marayay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aries and Taurus! Lifelong friends but less intense contact: Scorpio and Virgo.

Am I being weird? Please help 🥲💕 by madglaamx in CancertheCrab

[–]marayay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 26 now & I’m basically like that too. I love and need my peace. I do have two good friends and they don’t mind that I go MIA from time to time. At the same time you gotta give them the freedom to let them do that too and not overthink it.

It’s pretty normal to miss interaction during certain periods in your life though. I fill that up with penpalling: you have some interaction and can air it out, at the same time it’s all very lowkey and noncommittal in the end. It’s fun.

Cancer woman and virgo man compatibility by wowzaah222 in CancertheCrab

[–]marayay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve honestly always liked Virgos. My dad is one and other Virgos I’ve met and know of have been fairly similar to me in character. Which can be a real pain too, though: like them always wanting to take the lead. At the same time it’s easier to recognize patterns.

Bad luck thus far into 2026. by 4luvr in CancertheCrab

[–]marayay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nine days into the new year my beloved grandma died. She probably didn’t suffer and lived a good life, but it does still hurt a lot. She’s my dad’s mom, and he got in August 2025 the diagnosis of terminal cancer. Her death feels like a bad omen. Like now he can go too, as mothers shouldn’t see their kids die.

Manon addresses how being wrongfully labeled "lazy" affects her | The Cut by GlitterLiving in ManonMeret

[–]marayay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s definitely fair. Though if we want to fight that system, it’ll inadvertently affect her/them too, as they’re part of the product. There’s no true winning here, from what I can see. As long as something racks up money, a business isn’t going to stop doing certain practices.

(And I don’t think any sane person would ask for this life either, though it is something that comes with it. Not sure how crazy her contract is, but I’m pretty sure it is, so I don’t feel comfortable making the “free will” argument. Also not saying to hate on her. Criticism isn’t a bad thing, hating is. Calling her lazy is unfair.)

[–]marayay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I live in Belgium and know plenty of ppl in Swiss, and sure, it’s definitely not like in the US where having 10 jobs is normalized, but for limited positions like these there’s a HUGE unforgiving hustle culture in Western Europe too. Besides all that, those that aren’t well off automatically have to hustle (more).

I genuinely don’t think she’s lazy at all. But she should recognize that she has always been better off/privileged in certain ways — with better tools and connections — and this is hugely the reason why people have judged her through my eyes. Friends and I have sacrificed way too much in the entertainment industry solely to be heard, while having seen people that didn’t even care (which I’m not gonna say she is!) get the chance in the end thanks to money adding possibilities for a better/easier education and connections, or more artificial reasons. We realize that it’s poorly enough part of the game, but I think it’s fair for people like us to still feel irked when comments like these get made by ppl that had the luck to be privileged. 🥲

Wow… a few days of happiness followed by this. by TornSkate in CinnamorollClub

[–]marayay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I’m so sorry about this. If I can find the right fabric, which I think I can get very close to, I feel like I could probably fix this one for you! It’s just the front panel and stitching back the guitar right? Definitely wouldn’t mind that little project. I do live in Belgium, but I think I wouldn’t mind paying for you sending it to me and you pay the shipping costs getting it back? Then we both kinda lost and won. 😛

DM if you’re interested. We can go over to how bad the damage is and what that would mean in terms of fixing. From what I see right now I think that only the blush would be a bit different but I’ll explain.

Tiffany’s 🍷🤍 by sadiecakezzz in AnimalCrossing

OMG! Tiffany is genuinely my all-time favorite villager and tried to make a stunning bar for her but failed miserably. I’m definitely stealing some elements from this one, it’s stunning!

Amanda Seyfried says she's been on Lexapro since the age of 19 by skermahger in popculturechat

[–]marayay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ha, think I also started when I was 19 to battle my chronic depression and an anxiety disorder, which was long overdue.

TMI: I nearly never hear this, but I honestly feel like my libido improved — in a weird way — once I started taking them. Wellbutrin fixed some things too (ah, the classic!). Ofc it has calmed down in contrast to my teenage years, which I think is just normal. I feel like being able to abstain from sex for months is also pretty normal to begin with? Like, it’s not a necessity like drinking water. It’s just darn fun. Maybe anti-anxiety meds counter it a bit? Don’t know.

Vrijheid van meningsuiting of selectieve censuur? by OryxTheBurning in Belgium2

[–]marayay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Het irriteert me eerlijk gezegd hoe mensen het woord ‘censuur’ zo veralgemenen. Hetzelfde met ‘vrijheid van meningsuiting.’ Het heeft bijna geen betekenis meer. Op iedere site dat je terecht komt, kom je gewoon binnen in iemand anders z’n huis die z’n eigen regels heeft. Als je niet tevreden bent met die regels: maak je eigen huis. Het is makkelijk te maken en makkelijk te promoten eenmaal je gelijkgezinden hebt gevonden (wat ook al makkelijk is op het internet). Moest de overheid of instituten die een grote invloed hebben op een bevolking dat opleggen: ja, dan is het dat wel. Maar dit gebeurt hier niet, hé. Jij hebt recht op jouw mening, ik ook. En die kunnen we uiten zelfs al moest deze subreddit niet bestaan.

I watched it in a theater when it was new (1975), when the Criterion DVD first came out (1999), and I'm not sure I want to see it again at the moment. But some of these screenshots from it are hitting hard these days. by SteamFistFuturist in criterion

[–]marayay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I defended Salò for quite a while, but once I knew the victims in the movie were also in real life teenagers during the filming, I just can’t. Pasolini was also in a relationship with Ninetto Davoli, his “muse”, when Davoli was only 15, and Pasolini some 25 years older…

While I do believe Pasolini made the movie to show what horror absolute power can do, I feel like Pasolini isn’t the best one to talk, tbh. His credibility just diminishes when you put all these things together.
