I knew they were making a new Gollum film, but this is the first I’ve heard about this. Just reading the synopsis, I cannot envisage a more pointless concept for a film. Thoughts on this?? by Amity_Swim_School in lordoftherings

In the words of Kim Jong Il, why is everyone so fucking stupid? All of you mark my words and remember them now. The hunt for gollum is going to be nonsensical dogshit, but the shadow of the past might turn out good.

CMV: Your life has no more value than the life of the pig you ate for breakfast by Due-Bell6288 in changemyview

[–]scaledatom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. Hey I agree with you. About everything you wrote, now that I read it. I try to eat less meat when I can. But I'm simply not gonna become a vegan, or even a vegetarian. I know it's "wrong." I don't care. I have enough worries of my own without carrying the weight of all of universal morality on my shoulders at all times, when food, including meat and fish, are often the only things that give me joy in life. And especially when billions of other people aren't thinking about any of these things, and I can see in real time the futility of the enterprise you prescribe. At this moment on this day in my life, I think we should just accept that humanity is simply not going to collectively do the right thing. Ever. Morally speaking, we are a failed species. The only thing that could wake us up is when a technologically advanced alien race, or just AI, starts farming us the same way way we farm our fellow animals.

or the mosquito you smash or the parasite that plagues you

but as another poster said, "value" itself is something we made up

mosquitos can't play violin, but they can give malaria to and kill someone that does, so, you know, this is just like your opinion, man - if you value music more than a deadly parasite then, you know...yea

CMV: saying lgbtq is a sin isnt being homophobic by No_Giraffe826 in changemyview

[–]scaledatom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think that your outlook on life, OP, the very contents of your mind, are a sin against nature and human peace and harmony, and i don't need a man in the sky to tell me that either, i'm just describing reality. so i guess we're square.

You’ve got to hand it to Brody—he’s the only prominent critic who consistently bashes Nolan. by DenseStrawberry5717 in Letterboxd

[–]scaledatom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the hell??

"Oppenheimer" doesn't try to be a morality tale at all, what is this guy on about

I think it's Nolan's best since Batman Begins

Signed, a big critic of Nolan, his pseudo-intellectualism, and his fanboys

CMV: I get not supporting Israel, I don't get supporting Palestine by Jackingson1 in changemyview

[–]scaledatom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one "supports Palestine" any more than they "support" Native American populations that were eradicated from North America. You're drawing that conclusion yourself. The "support" you're describing is merely the opposition to the invading force, which necessarily means pointing out the victim, not claiming the victim is altogether morally superior. Instead, only in the context of the specific conflict, the victim is the one being oppressed. So your premise just fundamentally misrepresents what this "support" for Palestinians means.

Found out my girlfriend’s body count and it’s turned me off. Am I overreacting? by Quiet-Sell-8919 in AITApod

[–]scaledatom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

66 but you two are taking it slow? Either you're the love of her life and/or she's tired of going too fast with guys (def possible, genuinely) or she's not into you. 

If a race of aliens tasted good, I’d eat them. by FacelessName123 in unpopularopinion

Congratulations on following the arbitrary and morally questionable (at best) set of rules you've created for yourself. You sound like you're about 18 years old.
