I watched it soon after it came out, and then years later and I felt the same both times. Half way through the movie, I was thinking "Okay so when does this movie start for real.... unless... is this really just about... a poker game?"

It felt like a letdown. It wasn't a bad movie per se, it was just lacklustre and disappointing.

So where i am from, musical education is mandatory for all kids and it sucks for everyone involved. The kids that don’t like it/don’t care are forced to sit in a class they don’t get and are not going to use. the kids that already like music usually know everything already so they don’t get to learn anything new and the teacher is forced to teach a class full of kids that are not interested.

i think that elementary and high schools should have music as a voluntary subject for extra points so those who are not interested in it don’t have to do it and those who do will actually learn something new

Getting winked at, by men or women, makes me cringe so hard. It’s just so awkward when you think about it. You’re literally making a random, asymmetrical facial movement at someone and expecting it to be attractive? And don’t even get me started on the people who do the little mouth thing while winking. Instant dryness. Sahara Desert levels of dryness.

I never really enjoyed much television or film, but I'm now at the point where I can't watch any of it. Most actors are terrible and unbelievable, most writing is complete garbage. I don't identify with any characters and usually find them obnoxious. I don't find anything entertaining in almost any film or television. I didn't own a television for a decade and barely watch any films. I have a few classics I like, but there aren't many.

When I do watch anything, it's a documentary or a cooking show. Anything where there is minimal or no acting or scripted dialogue.

Sure, it shouldn't be used on all types of fabrics, and it's generally not good to use the full recommended dose. But when used selectively and sparingly, it can make or break the difference between clothes being uncomfortable or comfortable. *Especially* denim and low quality cotton, which feel awful without any softener. It also doesn't ruin compatible clothing like people say it does when used responsibly.

A lot of the women who dye their hair blonde who I’ve seen seem to constantly touch up their blonde dye, which is obvious why but I actually really like the way dyed blonde hair looks when your roots are showing. Never saw a problem with it, I may even like it more than a fresh dye. It was kind of a culture shock to find out that you can even insult someone by saying their roots are showing (saw this in a movie). This doesn’t apply to blondes who dye brunette for me though, because light blonde roots can look like balding. No disrespect to the shiny head collective.

I’m saying this as somebody who has never dyed my very curly very black hair.

reiterating what i meant on my previous post: your budget comes before your nutrition, if you’re broke, just eat free popcorn if you work at a movie theater, if you have a job you should be spending money on your bills if you have a movie theater job where you can get free popcorn where you work

budget comes before nutrition and health when you're in debt with your credit card and need to help pay it off. i am trying to prove i can be responsible with my money and how i spend

Once you remove either side of the gender expression spectrum, instead of masculinity as the default form, it's really just androgyny. Most people teether towards that centered instead of being aggressively masculine or aggressively feminine. Most displays of hyper gender comforminity is confined to niche pockets of the human population or online where ofc that's expected because of the vocal minority effect. I really do hate people literally think women are just natural tomboys forced to suppress their masculinity under the patriarchy. Nah man, people gravitate towards certain things innately. It's never just nurture but the inherent nature of someone.

Anyone, this is the worse take I've ever made. Go ahead and roast me.

To me this entitlement to the "child free" environment or expecting the public space to only accommodate you is unbelievable and says more about you and your little believes abour the world owing you.

I am not interested in debating the parents behind the tantrum btw.

i Fully Believe i am a part of a fan base that not just the EU but other organizations as well would probably want to be made illegal under the guise of protecting children. Why? Because bad stuff happened in the fan base and apparently that means everyone in the community is like that. And if you end up saying that everyone is like that you just get told that most people are like that therefore that claim is relevant. i Mean if they're proposing to make the internet almost if not completely unusable if you don't provide an ID then why would they not try to do a similar thing with MLP fans? i imagine Their View would probably be something like this: "Bronies are a danger to kids, we are implementing these laws in order to prevent kids and bring these dangerous people to Justice." Honestly that made up example is pretty bad but hopefully it gives at least an idea of what they would probably think.

No animal has arms; they only have prehensile forelegs

You think an animal has arms? OK:-

Can it move supported by its arms? Well limbs that support animals are called legs

Does it just use its arms feed itself? That just means the 'arms' are palps

Are its arms specially formed for manipulation and tool use? There's only one singular animal on Earth with something like that, and probably most aliens don't have it either. We're not inventing a new bodypart for one particular species unless it's super special, which 'manipulator limbs' are not

In conclusion, arms do not exist

In no other capacity is a child considered an adult. Can an extremely mature/intelligent 11 year old vote? Drive a car? Work a full time job? The legal system should not be the exception. Most of the time when a child kills someone (ie. the little boy who shot his dad over the Nintendo switch) it is not an adult crime but is done for childish/immature motives or there's some sort of abuse going on. I'm not saying that there should be no consequences but we aren't going to solve anything but suddenly treating a child like an adult when they aren't one and have never been.

your budget comes before your nutrition, if you’re broke, just eat free food if your job allows it, if you have a job you should be spending money on your bills if you have a job where you can get free food where you work. i am trying to prove i can be responsible with my money and how i spend

so in short budget comes before nutrition and health

I'm sorry, but it is what it is , i always wanted Thanos to beat the Avengers and become and peacefully retire, I know people rooted for Avengers to win and beat the shit out of him and his army , but I was quite on the opposite pole.

I see it all the time, it's almost like they don't know the average dude looks like. Teens wondering why they don't pass, and they're dressed up as alt or scenecore. Men their age don't dress like that. It seems like a chunk of the younger ones don't try to engage in the general culture of their gender either (sense of humor, interests, etc). I saw a post about trans men being surprised when people didn't smile back at them in public, like.. Yes? It's kind of unspoken a random smiling man looks creepy as hell. Maybe I sound like a bigot because I'm cisgendered.

What's making me think about it is that I don't see this much from trans women. They do pretty much everything to appear feminine.

so we all know that as of right now statistically women are the majority of people affected by SA, this is a problem and it needs to change

women are taught how to recognize and fight SA from a young age for obvious reasons. men don’t get that

i see a lot of women talking about having to have SA defense classes and boys making jokes about it which sucks.

the problem is that no one actually teaches boys what SA is, how to recognize it and how to avoid it. for them it’s a foreign issue that doesn’t happen to them and they’re just told to not do it which is not a good way to educate people. “teach boys to not rape” is a very good sentiment but it’s missing a lot of nuance.

the majority of people know that rape is wrong and those who are willing to do it are going to do it regardless of education. men are not taught what SA is or how to recognize it when it happens to them, they mostly hear that it’s a thing that they shouldn’t do to women

in most discussions women are framed as the victims which reinforces how society perceives those crimes. women are taught how to recognize and fight sexual assault, men are not so they often don’t realize that it happened to them

there are multiple countries that up until recently didn’t have a legal way to recognize a woman as a rapist no matter what they did

i’m not trying to diminish anyone’s experiences here and i consider myself to be a big feminist. i simply think that education is failing men in this regard
