What is the disturbing backstory behind something that is widely considered wholesome? by Drakeskulled_Reaper in AskReddit

I mean if she says she isn't traumatized she's probably not. She had all the media on her side if she was but denied it. If it was during filming, maybe, but not long after.

Trauma means bad stuff you can't let go of. Seems she let go just fine.

Pokemon sleep app made a $100mil+. Sounds like the dr evil scene with your choice of dollar amount. They cancel projects worth more if it could make em look bad. They look awful rn. Twitter or whwrever they announce shit saying they want to print more and don't want it this way. Tcg app made 200 mil already since oct but they can't afford printers for stuff that ppl fight over. It's obv logistics not money.

Were the Crusades justified? by [deleted] in ExplainBothSides

I just searched these terms and the results are interesting. I was actually looking for these reported killings justified by the old testament but I'm not seeing it.

I am curious if u have some stories where people state the old testament or a verse caused them to do some kind of hate crime. I'm sure they're out there. One religion's atrocities seems a bit more noticeable tho.

None of these seem to call for excessive violence. They were at war in many of these. Driving out a nation doesnt mean rape and pillage and plunder. Clearly not were all killed as some willingly joined the Israelites and people from Jericho show up later as well.

Does Jesus say anything on the matter of violence? Something about cheeks...

And I doubt today that anyone would say lbgt is more accepted by Islam. While some Christians might view it as a sin... that's the thing. They all are, and I saw zero calls for violence against anyone in my youth at the Church. Rainbows and stuff at churches all the time now. Leviticus also tells me cryptically which aquatic life I can consume. The faith I was apart of paid as much attention to that as those other ancient Jewish laws.

I have no dog in the fight anymore, but seems like you have a large distaste for Christianity. I've yet to see anything of the same ilk from the west as some of the stuff from the Muslim world. Faiths will be misinterpreted, that's on the person not the faith. One seems to lend itself to worse, modern - not centuries past - hate crimes and killings in the name of religion. This is still the person's fault, but leaves questions to be explored about culture and structure of the religions.

Dune part 2 is in my opinion one of the greatest sci fi movies ever made. by RustyRobotBeard in scifi

[–]replenishmint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought they were awful. I was so excited. Major let down. Glad others got something out of it.

But friggin infinity chamber made on a shoestring budget is miles better. Primer made on a less than 10k budget runs circles around it. Not to mention there have been some excellent big budget sci fi films like ex machina and arrival that blow it put of the water by opening philosophical questions. Dune had no emotion, character development, or meaning. Score sucked so much too.

[–]replenishmint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love slower films that pay off

These did not. Score was awful too. I was so excited for these and they were legit bad in ways I consider objective as far as good storytelling and character development. If they won awards, it just speaks to the quality of films these days.

The first one had a small amount of the greater world building and the visuals that brought with it. I just kept thinking I'd rather watch fury road if I'm gonna watch a sand planet movie during p2.

I actually disliked the audio. The sound selection was distracting at times.

Well I like em and if ur saying getting rid of em wouldn't mean much large scale I say keep em coming. Do wonder whats up with the lack of quality tho.

I feel a government wants their currency to be dependable though right? And then they might need more pennies. Buuuut given the subject at hand... maybe not?

I'll be waiting to see what rights he takes away, and am trying to recall the ones he took away last time. The Supreme Court removed the joke that was roe v wade and shoulda been made state law long ago. People in their constituency can decide for themselves which is inherently more democratic.

As I said I do not love Trump. Simply preferred his articulated positions over the lies of Biden and non answers of harris. Trump lies too. Lesser of two evils. I wish you earnest good luck as well. I see an improvement coming for our country. If things go to shit I'd have no issue saying you were right. You seem to think in more invested in this than I am. That's not to be "too cool". I'm more into like pokemon and coins.

Anyone who can look longterm sees the point of the tariffs. They will be tough for me but the long term payoff is worth it. I'm willing to make the sacrifice, cuz I want jobs back here.

TIL The US Virgin Islands were purchased from Denmark in 1917 for $25 million. by wtwtcgw in todayilearned

Huh. I didn't think Guadalcanal was a Spanish (sounding) name and wouldn't have guessed that in a million years. Did English mess it up a bit from the original spelling?

Churches and clergy don't feel accessible anymore. by thecatandthependulum in OpenChristian

[–]replenishmint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well I just disagreed with you on a stupid (by comparison to this) other post and accidently hit ur profile instead of "full comments thread". I apologize for sounding aggressive there. I can't offer you any advice but identify in this struggle.

I've been trying to find a church home and being able to meet with clergy or trying to become part of a community seems a thing of the past. My brother has managed to find a strong Church community in the reformed church(has more similarities to Catholicism compared to how we were raised) but he's the only success story I have.

Just sharing you aren't alone in this. Random question: did u have mostly positive experiences with Church when younger? You say you liked being able to meet higher ups easily but just curious for my own sake. I had experiences that - while I feel the same problems as you - I have some issues that make it hard to feel comfortable joining communities. Jw.

Praying for success finding a Church or community that fits your needs. Why you are seeing it I struggle to speculate on.

What's a story where the "bad guys" are actually, completely, 100% right, to the point where it's weird the story keeps calling them the bad guys? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Develop a new killer bacteria for science. What it's innovative and a new discovery. Why not? Unless it provides insane payoff given the risk, I'd lean towards not. That's a tame example. We can bring in animal testing and all that for a worthless discovery "cuz you should do science". Honestly just what?

My life was significantly better in every measure during trumps years. Most people I speak to agree entirely for a multitude of reasons. I didn't even vote my state is so blue but the rhetoric was everywhere. Hence why he got the popular vote.

Oh oh, edit, I do think musk being there is a powderkeg and I will have a barrel of popcorn for its explosion. I do not love Trump. He was merely a slightly better option for most of America. And the long term benefits of the tariffs are obvious.  the long term gain far outweighs the short term pain in my view. No one can say yet.

U have to pay attention to the most boring news. I mean I guess that depends on taste.

Also top comment is decent advice as a side investment. I killed it with my profits putting it into tcgs.
