My point is nothing is the equivalent of the n-word. People often invoke “equivalent of the n-word” to gain an emotional response, but all that does is invalidate probably the most atrocious abuse and dehumanization of black people that went on for centuries.

Prove to me thats what she actually said.

Ah yes, you cant, because you’re basing it on a tweet of 20 year old recollections. For all you know she yelled “go fuck yourself you flying fuckbag”

It’s a VISE-like grip. Not vice.

Oh, I see what you’re saying. I agree with a lot of that, especially that he tells the same story over and over again. I was actually a little surprised when I watched his earlier work, seeing what looked like prototype versions of Your Name. It’s also true that his story is rooted primarily in adolescence, and first…

i’ll say it, I don’t think it’s that gross to not use soap while showering unless absolutely necessary.

How is “umami” pretentious?

I mean:

Why assume going in that the readers are already hostile to what you’re going to say

Yeah I haven’t seen it (Zack Snyder movies tend to bore me to tears, in spite of the many elaborate action sequences), but if it looks like he can act, I’m not buying it.

Oh please no. Don’t make him internationally famous. He is known here in Germany for starring in and directing some of the worst high-budget schlock you could imagine.

Is anyone else concerned we’re not going to get enough Steam Deck hype over the next year?

Amen. There's a movent to do away with the European aristocracy-style turf lawn because it's a plant desert that sucks up a lot of water. Natives with low water requirements are the way to go. And have you been on an artificial lawn on a hot day? It's miserably hot. As in competing with concrete or asphalt hot. That's…

We are not “pretending.” Marvel didn’t invent the concept of a female Russian spy. And other than that similarity, Black Widow and Red Sparrow are totally different movies.

‘Not everyone is a city apartment dweller; living outside of a concrete jumgle means co-existing with nature, and NOT paving paradise to put up a parking lot”

Yeah I’m a trans woman and calling this “misgendering” feels kind of insulting, honestly. If you say you’re comfortable with two sets of pronouns, you can’t act like it’s this massively egregious thing for people to default to one or the other. I get that people always defaulting to “cis” pronouns feels like they’re…

Yes, by bringing that up and commenting on that I was getting at that.

As they should.

From a Buzzfeed article:

My exclamation usage goes something like this:
Use an exclamation point so I seem friendly! Normal sentence so I dont seem crazy. End with an exclamation point to remind them Im friendly!

I think a lot of the nostalgia (or even most of the nostalgia?) comes from Larry Hama’s 10+ year comic run, which was shamelessly advertised along with the toys during the tv show.
