This is funny, thanks.

All I’m saying is that the intent is mired in the phrasing for us laymans, it seems to be carrying too much in too few words. But I get that you feel a certain way about how this was written and are not really receiving what I’m saying, so I’ll leave her at that.
I think you already have one person confused with what was written. Regardless, my point is that it’s an uninformative way to phrase it. Plenty of your readers don’t have the value of your background to parse through a clunky summary like this.
I think the confusion comes less from what Caulfied27 pointed out and more that saying “‘Kool-Aid’ and all” is a vague and uninformative way to capture that a)Jones killed people with cyanide-lased Flavor-Aid, and b) it spawned the idiom “don’t drink the Kool-Aid”.
My new theory is that Chappelle just views himself as a rebel- he doesn’t really care that much about being a TERF (though likely has a lot of TERF beliefs), he just needs to define himself by all the people that he is going to piss off.
I don’t think redditors get to own this, these are just universal truths.
The new flavour of destroying children’s minds is the line of thought “the only way to block CRT is forcing teachers to teach alternative perspectives! Like how slavery and genocide are good things, y’know?”
The people pulling this card about AKA is petty bullshit, and I think they should be putting this energy (and more) about authentic representation for race/culture and neurodiversity. If people are wasting time whining on sorority representation, nobody should give them the time of day until they focus on those…
Totally this, to a point. She’s a public figure that is talking publicly about her weight loss. Unless people want to be toxic pricks about it, people should be able to discuss Rebel Wilson’s change in a way that promotes physical and mental health perspectives about size and weight. And people can engage with Rebel…
Reporting on the Spears stories has an intrinsic value in the fact that it’s a visible byproduct of how fucked up the conservatorship system in the US is, and visible stories like Spears and the exploitation by her family is educating plenty of people on the issue. Mulaney-Munn thing is exclusively about people being…
It is so ridiculous how people really believe the disinformation that unions=undemocratic/socialist/communist. My grandparents here in Canada still buy that idea. Collective bargaining to defend worker’s rights is the definition of democracy. It’s not socialist, or then the workers would have more control over…
How do you think Onward fits against other Pixar films? Personally I think it’s pretty low on my list (most of the film is just generic animation or fantasy tropes), though I do give it props for its ending- making the visitation spell a private moment for Barley and his father is one of the best sentimental…
I felt extremely disappointed by Onward. I largely disregard any Pixar sequel and love the originals, and I’d say Onward is the second-worst Pixar film after Cars. Both films are so far below the caliber of the studio- they feel like forgettable Dreamworks properties.
Not to mention that it’s an ensemble film that introduces so many characters and each are fleshed out and have individualism. If people haven’t seen Birds of Prey, that’s their loss.
I’m just excited because they finally found somebody that will be a sexier Pinhead than Doug Bradley!
I read she hasn’t had a town hall in three years, and then used a “foot injury” to justify sneaking home and holding fundraisers for corporate interests. She’s functionally a lobbyist at that point and shouldn’t hold a seat. It would be pretty prudent that the people she represents ditch her sadistic ass.
I guess it’s not surprising that a guy with the surname Hollywood would treat the world as a stage with the spotlight on him.
There’s a vast and disparate lines of reasoning, but largely it’s because it’s been a base for Western imperialism for a long time, and warhawks in the US can rely on a permanent ally in an area of the world that the West can fight for a) ideological hegemony, and b) resource extraction.
As a white guy that grew up in rural Canada with no black folk around, it isn’t just that she’s white with no black people around, it’s that she engaged in blackface willfully. Wearing another race as a costume is even stupider than the typical racism than what you get out of white people.
But this year, NBA 2K22 really stepped up its game when it comes to shoving elements of late-stage capitalism into the experience.
