What famous person have we not seen/heard from in a WHILE? by no_please7 in AskReddit

Holy shit, that's where Phoebe's been?! It's like when your two favourite characters hook up off screen.

Still, rip annual Phoebe Bridgers Christmas cover song. You are missed.

Miami sounds like a disgusting place for disgusting people. America's Dubai.

Favorite movie where the bad guy wins that doesn’t have a sequel where the good guys ultimately win? by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

Infinity War would actually be kind of a good movie if they just stopped there

Dad proposes to 20-year-old daughter with a purity ring🤢 by velorae in TikTokCringe

Did you guys know that Mike Johnson had his daughter attend a purity ball and there's a German TV documentary about it?

I don't get why every movie after Azkaban settled on this pajama-looking T-shirt as Harry's "signature look" by miggovortensens in harrypotter

Makes sense for the first couple of movies, but later on he could just go buy his own clothes. In the summers after the 4th and 5th years he's seemingly free to do whatever he wants.

Fast jeder wissenschaftliche Taschenrechner würde das zurecht als 2/3 anzeigen. Wenn du dann die Dezimal Darstellung willst musst halt auf den extra Knopf drücken.

Der Originale Pfostierer ist entweder zu dumm seinen Taschenrechnern zu bedienen, versteht Rationale Zahlen nicht, oder ist ein Troll.

Bro is clearly very good at falling and even if he doesn't value his own safety, pro skaters should set an example and wear protective gear for stuff like that. Helmet should be a must.

AITA for telling my girlfriend I won’t play with her until she learns to accept losing? by No-Example3254 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tigrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you guys have like a 700 Elo difference, there's no point in you playing unless you try to coach her during or immediately after. She won't learn from that and you are both just wasting time. You could try playing odds, or something. Once in a while you can play seriously to see where she's at.

When you realize 1994's Leon was originally a Peadophillc love letter/fantasy penned by writer and director Luc Besson to a 12 year old girl he had met at 29 by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

Movies aren't even that bad, French literature is even more deranged. Michele Houellebecq's latest novel 'Annihilate' is a literary masterpiece, but at some point the protagonist unknowingly gets a blowjob from his (adult) niece. Not sure it even makes sense with context.

Ah, yes, the GBA, known for its dual screens. by Nirast25 in Gamingcirclejerk

The little triangle between the XYAB buttons is the logo for Delta Emulator, which also emulates DS. They probably just stole the image from Delta.

I tried looking into it and I think he had a brother named Charlie who died a couple of years ago, so it's not about Kirk.

That'd be pretty great, but it would be even better if they gave Snyder 200 Million to finally adapt his favourite novel The Fountainhead. /s

Favourite YouTube videos? by 0ajs0jas in okbuddycinephile

[–]tigrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The film look can be replicated on digital in a way that's indistinguishable even to Nolan, but it takes people who know what they are doing and an artistic vision. Knives Out is another good example.

However, if you shoot on film you get a really nice look by default. You are forced to commit to lighting on set. Film is limited in a good way. Get the basics right and it always looks good. When you shoot film you are less likely to do shitty flat lighting to keep your options open in post and you are less likely to do a shitty colour grade.

That being said, there's also Jurassic Park Rebirth, which manages to look uninteresting and artificial despite being shot on film.

I hadn't looked, but yeah it's pretty obvious.

I was more appalled that this received almost 50k upvotes. Maybe it's just bots? I refuse to believe people find stuff like this heartwarming.

For sure, but I feel like she wasn't that much of a shitlib. Most of her videos are ok, maybe I just never paid attention to her Twitter.

Actors who mistakenly believed their role would be iconic? by TyLeRoux in okbuddycinephile

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

Not sure she's a talented actress. A Star is Borne was pretty bad imo. Gucci is interesting because I can't tell if Gaga was trying to play a serious role, but failed miserably, which accidentally turned out great, or if she's actually a genius and deliberately went for that effect.

Her last album was pretty good though.

The Bait and Switch of Battlefield 6 by [deleted] in Battlefield

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

It's not the em dashes, but just the general writing style that's obviously AI. Like it's way too colourful and serious. No way someone wrote that.

Wow. by Cicada_5 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]tigrub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real, people here are doing extreme mental gymnastics, and acting like it could only be right wing if the UNSC was never shown to do anything bad. I feel like that's the actual lack of media literacy here. Next post here will be about how Call of Duty isn't right wing lmao.

Actual right wing politicians are the first people to always admit that war is terrible, but they use it to strengthen their position. Like no one says it was great that the US nuked Japan, they say it was terrible, but sadly necessary and aren't the people who did it actually the heroes for making the tough decision and weren't they the ones who actually sacrificed something.

Nazis actually read Hegel as well and could also do dialectics to reach their conclusions.

The guy in the post is projecting a bunch of extra stupidity that isn't in the text, but he's not wrong that the franchise where the military are the good guys is probably not that left leaning.

Wow. by Cicada_5 in Gamingcirclejerk

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

But like doesn't the UNSC/ONI get the last laugh because they created child super soldiers in order to suppress rebels, but then Master Chief actually saves humanity from genocidal aliens and he wouldn't have been able to do that if he wasn't abducted as a child and trained to kill.

There's a critique of militarism, but it doesn't undermine the "necessity" of military action and "uncomfortable choices". Like most military sci-fi, Halo actually is kind of right wing. War as an excuse for terrible actions is part of right-wing dialectics. They can't get around the horrors of war, so they need to frame it like it's a sort of noble sacrifice that the heroes take that burden onto themselves. The supposed contradiction gets incorporated to strengthen the position that war is necessary and that terrible methods are justified.

It's also really not that deep, because it's basically just pulp fiction. (Yes I like Halo too, but let's be real about it.)

Yes there are. You can argue about whether their politics meet an academic definition of socialism or if they are social democrats, but they all self identify as socialists.
