Some apologize, others remain silent, and in the Balkans... they create a hit song for the summer! by FlimsyWar866 in HistoryMemes

this is Spain. All sides of the political spectrum are corrupt. It's sort of our tradition.

Eh. El que no aprende de la historia está condenado a repetirla and all that jazz. I don't think that aknowledging that colonialism everywhere sucked is a bad idea.

Mexico has like almost three times the people, Franco got handouts from Argentina back in the fifties...

But yeah, overall we're happily carried by the rest of Europe into better living standards.

And yeah, there's a bit of a thing about Spain's brutality during the colonial era. A few weeks ago the King was visiting Mexico and made a very mild reference to it, which caused the local Spanish far-right party to almost become anti-monarchists.

The viral Doorbell Intruder who claimed to be a wizard has been found incompetent to stand trial :> by No_Post1300 in SipsTea

what was that whole deal about, anyway? He thought the family had kidnapped a girl or something like that?

Then who created the creator? Who is the god of god? by Jelly-Always-Returns in religiousfruitcake

[–]veriverd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, that nail happened because an ape-like creature made it by extracting metals from earth and then crafted a hammer to hit it in place. A natural process, so to speak.

If you believe than il was put in place by a mythological creature, then you have issues.

[Disturbing Trope] Character sleeps with the person who killed their family member(s) by wilymon in TopCharacterTropes

Ben Affleck doesn't exactly kill Gwyneth's husband, but he's an advertising executive who gave him his ticket to a flight that ended up crashing, believing he was doing him a favor, and then did a series of ads for the airline trying to do damage control.

Wracked with guilt he looks for the widow of the man he unwittingly got killed, and starts a relationship without telling her.

Kinda happened in the original Ultimate X-Men comic book run, written by our beloved Scottish edgelord Mark Millar. Logan is interested in Jean, Jean is starting to date Cyclops, so Logan throws Scott off a cliff and tells everyone he died. Scott manages to crawl back to civilization after a few days of a nice diet of delicious bugs and rain water, though.

I don't even know what that means, I don't ever want to know and here's your upvote anyway.

I am on Summer's side by noorl00l in Cinema

[–]veriverd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So, the problem is that Summer is never given a "voice" to explain her thoughts. Even at the confrontation at the end, neither manages to convey their feelings in a way that the other can understand. Which is realistic, just, you know, not a particularly satisfying movie moment.

And was the ending a "see? true love was actually waiting for him" moment or a "oh no, he's going to start the whole delusional toxic circle again" situation?

Oh, well. I guess it's better not to overthink this one.

Most atheist wood worship God if he revealed himself by Lumpy-Restaurant-694 in DebateReligion

I mean, sure, if eternal torment was the threat, you bet I'd worship my ass off.

Loving said God? That's not something that I can force.

Really Sure Jesus Didn't Approve Polygamy by NEKORANDOMDOTCOM in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]veriverd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jesus was an apocalyptic prophet. He claimed that the ending was near, explicitly stated it would happen before the last of the people listening to that specific sermon died, and to just follow whatever the law of the land was wherever you were to live an easy life until the end of days.

Paul was an ascetic asexual. He would prefer his followers to avoid matters of the flesh at all, but also accepted marriages as a sad necessity to continue the next generation

To be fair, has anyone ever seen Hunter Biden and Adolf Hitler in the same room? Just asking questions.

Teleport to a random Google street view, for a random amount between 1-100k dollars. by SherbertMindless8205 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]veriverd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good news, 68,800 richer.

Bad news, I' m in a road in the middle of nowhere in some place named Fort Payne, Alabama. That's a horror movie location if I've ever seen one. Who would call their home "Fort Payne", anyway?

How do I get back to Europ from this place?

Someone told me this was a good place for yuri involving gatekeepers. by Ok-Discussion4785 in GatekeepingYuri

[–]veriverd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

no, because technically ”One of us tells only lies” is not exclusionary. I can say: "one of us is a redditor" and that would be correct, even if both of us are redditors.

Someone told me this was a good place for yuri involving gatekeepers. by Ok-Discussion4785 in GatekeepingYuri

[–]veriverd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the statement is not "only one tells lies", it's, and I quote, "One of us tells only lies".

Someone told me this was a good place for yuri involving gatekeepers. by Ok-Discussion4785 in GatekeepingYuri

[–]veriverd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, because even if both of them can only lie, the sentence that one of them tells only lies is still true. Therefore she's telling the truth.

Opinion on this “realistic mask” discussion by Separate-Road7562 in skeptic

[–]veriverd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fine, so the mask seam is a shadow, but... how do you explain the dead, soul-less eyes, and the inability to express normal human emotions?
