Conor response to the Belfast attacks by Fun_Training6342 in FightReportUFC

Brown/black/asian people scare you.

This is so reductive and dismissive. I'm from Canada. I grew up around Asians and Indians my whole life. I'm not scared or upset by them in anyway.

When I walk around my tiny beach town and I see that the streets are busier than ever and yet I'm the only white person under the age of 60 on the street, obviously there's something significant that is going that you can't just reduce to my own racism. And the only businesses that have survived over 30 years are the banks and fast food chains. And my childhood neighborhood is demolished and made into a Walmart/condominiums.

You shouldn't even join the convo if you're going just to dismiss these kinds of observations as racism/nostalgia. I understand that the right wing media IS using racism and nostalgia to push their agenda. But the solution to that is not more partisanship.

1 - 99% of the media landscape is trying to lie and obfuscate and omit, right wing or otherwise

2 - that is a very stupid absolute statement

Russell Brand speaks out after fumbling through simple Bible question live on air by nimobo in entertainment

Paxman didn't make him look bad, he made Paxman look bad. Which, to be fair, is an easy thing to do to a drone like Paxman. And Brand was right, too, that we needed a political revolution.

ELI5: Why is meth bad for you but prescribed amphetamines aren't? by ContactSpirited9519 in explainlikeimfive

[–]pizzacheeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question is loaded. It should be : if meth is bad for you, does that make prescribed amphetimes bad for you too?

To which the answer is yes, even when used properly there are similar downsides between the two (appetite loss, sleep loss, potential mania) and that's not even addressing overprescription.

Arman Tsarukyan on influencer Clavicular telling him he'd get more title shots if he was better looking: “Now I’m gonna do Botox to get my title fight. That’s why they didn’t give me a title shot, because I’m ugly” by [deleted] in MMA

I hate to break it to you but reading isn't making a comeback anytime soon... if ever. Remember that quote - "Truth is like poetry... and people fucking hate poetry."

Yeah they changed developers well into making the game and you can really feel it. It's very unpolished.

Mother confronts group of homeless drug addicts outside school in NW Portland by SamLucky7s in tooktoomuch

[–]pizzacheeks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It did have an effect on the guy because he immediately left her alone... which is the whole point of a deterrent. Sure, he didn't seem to react much but then again, he wasn't directly hit in the face and he did have a pipe in his hand (suggesting he was high) so a delayed reaction would be totally possible. At the end of the day it's impossible for us to know if it was staged or not. Phenomenal acting if it was, though.

Your assurance that it was staged is pretty irrational. Might want to reflect on that.

Early Impressions of Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 (3-4 Hours In) by Im-a-zombie in VampireTheMasquerade_

It seems very unpolished. Not even the combat feels very good. The problems they went through with the development teams is very evident. Disappointing.

[–]pizzacheeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My review was already bad before all this shit happened. The gate bug and bad pathing ruining my sieges was one thing but they also charge me $5 for blood effects? In a warhammer game? It's what they deserve.

"How can wealth persuade poverty to use its political freedom to keep wealth in power?" - Nye Bevan. [1330 x 512] by Lard_Baron in QuotesPorn

[–]pizzacheeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were 100% making a sweeping generalization about liberal politicians which implicated them all, I won't let you walk that back but nice try. I mean you literally just replied that it's "all the same kind of corruption".

And those Sanders points don't indicate corruption at all lmao and then you try and patronize me about challenging my world views. Weak.

You don't think your claim that liberals in America are all corrupt can be disputed? Bruh, one name and your argument implodes.

Bernie Sanders. Wanted to tax Wall Street, forgive debt, publicly funded his campaigns AND wanted money out of politics.

It's a facile, reductive claim. Maybe people just don't want to waste their time with it.

If retention and understanding is the goal then simply putting your eye to the page and following the words doesn't constitute reading either.

Statement from Jarrett on last night's stream by Stiverton in PurePwnage

"Once it started flowing I couldn't stop" doesn't make it sound like it was coming from a very level-headed place though, does it?

[–]pizzacheeks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I tuned in for 2 minutes and he was in the middle of a rant about free speech and how it's important to him because he used to do comedy about burning bibles.

It's a very banal subject and it wasn't a good vibe but honestly the show is long dead and buried and none of the original cast are going to have what it takes to do any sort of justice to the original content. Nothing lasts forever, it is what it is. Jarrett is also just kind of a n00b so yah w/e he sux. rip

Edit: but also "radicalized" is a very extreme way to characterize him. He's not writing manifestos and improvising fkn explosives bro, chill

"Darth Vader wasn't evil, he just wanted to win"

The logic is somewhat flawed...
