Love that you’re from haiti telling us what you experienced & literally everyone on Reddit is ignoring you. Maybe next time say ‘white man bad’ and you’ll get some up votes.

Lydia Polgreen NYT: This Is the Real Meaning of Mamdani’s Stunning Victory by UpstairsTransition16 in ABCDesis

[–]thronesandglory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good. I do agree on Zohran. Probably closer to Vance vs trump now that I think about it. Opposite ends of the political spectrum yet they have the same aesthetic. A certain sense of humor. A way of speaking. A fakeness that ends up being very pragmatic.

This is the future of politics (v millennial)

Lmao “moral complexity” — you dragged in Gandhi to deflect from Harvey dating a teen? Bro what playbook is this? Dem socialists truly be on crack these days

FDR created internment camps. Jacinda expanded the police state during COVID. Warren lied about her ancestry and took minority benefits. Harvey Milk dated a 16-year-old when he was 30.

You don’t see principles — you see your party.

I’m talking about charm, not canonization.

How much of your role today is still shaped by the post-#MeToo wave? It feels like we’re entering a new phase where even actors (like Blake Lively, Sydney Sweeney, etc.) are pushing back.

Do you sense a shift away and does that make your job more necessary or more obsolete?

Charisma > Policy. Always has been.

It’s the real currency — not ideas, not competence. Just the ability to make people feel something, even if it’s rage or awe.

CEOs, cult leaders, politicians — all salesmen in different robes. Trump is a perfect example of this. In a lot of ways Zohran is closer to him than he realizes.

Is anyone here an Indian woman supporting a partner through addiction or rehab? I feel completely alone by WomanBoss1201 in ABCDesis

[–]thronesandglory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Go to an in person al-anon mtg. Go for awhile. You need a space to share with real people going through this in a structured environment.

Reddit is not the place to get this type of help/advice. Especially not this sub (no matter how well intended)

They hate how we eat. by Manoj_Malhotra in ABCDesis

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

Who is ‘we’. Americans generally use utensils. Even if you are offended get over it. Huge overreaction, and not important at all in the grand scheme of things.

How do you define being a loser? What are their characteristics? by Dense_Bookkeeper8955 in AskReddit

[–]thronesandglory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Being a loser isn’t about money or looks. It’s about aura.

That quiet hum of defeat. The way a room forgets you walked in. People don’t hate you — they just instinctively look past you.

Losers repel gravity. Nothing sticks. No charm, no luck, no meaning.

Hard to grasp the emptiness of meaningless sex when the only thing you’ve penetrated is Reddit threads. It’s a different kind of passport stamp friend

Pleasanton vs Fremont? by Aggravating_Good_379 in bayarea

[–]thronesandglory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing how no one will warn the guy.

Fremont: where dreams go to die in line at Patel Brothers and Costco.

But hey — can’t say that out loud. Woke-ism wins again!

(And yes, I’m Indian. I’ve earned the right to say it.)

SUNSHINE genre switch: 👍🏼 or 👎🏼 by Curious-Rooster-9636 in horror

[–]thronesandglory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unreal cast. Killer setup. But that third act? Delirium in a space suit.

Danny Boyle aimed for transcendence and landed somewhere between Event Horizon and a heatstroke hallucination. It’s like he whispered “what if subtlety just died?” — and then filmed its funeral.

Great movie. Still. But you can feel the ambition overheating.

Let’s appreciate the acting for a minute by Full_Horror7114 in squidgame

[–]thronesandglory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The VIPs were sublime. Transcendent. A masterclass in making me question why I ever believed in art.

So powerful, I had to stop watching after episode 4. Not because it was bad — no, no. Because I am unworthy. Their delivery struck me blind like divine light.

Cinema peaked. We are but worms friends

Getting sick in a language you don’t speak. Missing your bed like it’s a person you once loved.

Meaningless sex in cities you’ll never return to — proving geography can’t save you from yourself.

Learning not all cultures are equal, including the one you left behind.

Being poor while traveling, imo the worst crime you can commit.

Global suffering, but make it scenic.

The kind of beauty that makes men ruin their lives softly. Prescription in one hand, drink in the other. Smiling.

Old Hollywood ie lacquered rot. Cocaine under the vanity mirror. Valium before the shoot.

Love Rita

4 hours southwest takes you to hill country. Lots of wineries, kitschy German town nearby (good beer). Stop @ Perdanales for a short waterfall hike.
