PopcornPrincess, in Truly a moment of all time

I don’t see anyone in this picture…

Sarcasmo220, in No take backs?

And now on YouTube the Red Pill symbolizes accepting misogyny as the backbone for society.

Conservatives can truly spin everything for the worst.

Bye,

Pretty sure it means accepting that you’re trans

And the blue pill symbolizes continuing to pretend to be someone else

Like the whole movie is a trans allegory, especially considering the creators.

Sarcasmo220,

I can certainly see that in regards to the movie. I think I read somewhere too that the character “Switch” would switch genders from the real world into the Matrix. I think it would have been real cool if it had made it to the movie.

chayleaf,

One of the creators said “that’s not the original intention, but sure, you could read it that way too” in some interview

Sabre363, in Uh-Oh

Why is men laughing such a bad thing?

MystikIncarnate, in Happy Christian Pride Month!

I think this is their version of fighting back.

I’m just going to come out and say it. Have your Christmas. Nobody else gives a shit about you or what you believe. So celebrate, enjoy. Nobody cares if you do. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone about it, and we wouldn’t notice if you tried.

So Merry Christmas, happy Festivus, happy holidays, happy Hanukkah… Whatever you celebrate at this time of year, I hope it’s a positive experience and that you and your loved ones enter into the new year as happy and as healthy as they can be.

But don’t mistake that sentiment for giving any shits about what you do to celebrate.

JargonWagon, in Rent is Robbery

ITT: No one understands the benefits of renting over owning a home.

letsgo,

Well in theory it makes you more mobile (if you want/need to move for some reason): just give your landlord notice and move out. Whereas selling can take an indefinite amount of time.

JargonWagon,

Yeah, not to mention the responsibilities that a landlord has when it comes to maintenance on the property. I was saying no one else in this thread gets that there are benefits to renting, even though there are.

flamingo_pinyata, in Merry Christmas ya filthy animals

There’s a suspicious lack of “hot and sunny Christmas” imagery in the media.
Australians and South Americans - where are all the sunny Christmas on the beach movies ??

gmtom, in There's a hidden toxicness that should be given more attention.

Bad use of the format.

voidMainVoid, (edited )

The answer is no. No, we are not.

SimplyATable,

Oh, bleh. Always steered clear of that place, the name and overall vibe is wack

voidMainVoid,

What do you have against blahaj?

SimplyATable,

I was talking about “Are the straights okay” specifically. Blahaj is chill

semperverus, (edited )
@semperverus@lemmy.world avatar

My thing with blahaj is that while its cool that trans people identify with it, the fact that theyre trying to make it universally only be a trans symbol is a bit problematic.

My family has a few and none of us are trans as far as we know. Theyre comfy and cuddly as fuck, and I feel like its something that should be for “everybody” and not just one particular community. Like a bring-us-all-together kind of thing.

To be clear, I’d have just as much of a problem with it if it were becoming a symbol for some other completely unrelated community too, so it’s not the specific community claiming it I have an issue with (trans people are people, and a lot of y’all are really awesome)

kpw,

You sound a bit like those Christians complaining about how the gays stole the rainbow from God.

vzq,

Always steered clear of that place

I’m glad you were able to find a solution that works for everyone.

knfrmity, in Rent is Robbery

A home is for living in. A person has one body, therefore one home per person/family unit is an appropriate number. Corporations have no bodies, therefore they do not need homes.

Not only is rent robbery, but private property in itself has its origins in theft.

BudgetBandit, in No take backs?

Matrix actually makes more sense if the machines use the brains as processors

jackpot,
@jackpot@lemmy.ml avatar

what is it in the matrix

cholesterol,

A power source. It does not make sense.

InFerNo,

For the majority of the people it’s enough to trigger their suspension of belief.

Orangenkuchen,

I heard somewhere that this was the original plan. They changed it because computers were new and they didn’t think people would understand “using human brains as CPUs”

NoSpiritAnimal,
@NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world avatar

This is direct from the Wachowskis and 100% true. The studio made them dumb down a ton if computer stuff.

birthday_attack,

That’s a common misconception that’s been passed around the Internet so long that it’s become common knowledge. There’s a great (now deleted, but archived) writeup showing that the Wachowskis always intended humans to be batteries. The actual source of the “processors” idea came from a Neil Gaiman short story written to promote the movie at its release

lordgoose,

Honestly, I’d like to see this version. This might explain better why the machines using humans for their own benefit is such a bad thing since, presumably, using humans as CPUs would take up brain power that we could use to build a better society or something.

xpinchx, in My wife "sucks"

Wait, you guys are getting BJs?

Kiwi_Girl,
@Kiwi_Girl@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I think they mean that their wife vacuums, and they feel superior about being able to relax.

Zink,

Wait, you guys are getting clean floors?

joyjoy,

Nah, that’s a membership only business.

punkwalrus, in My wife "sucks"
@punkwalrus@lemmy.world avatar

Ah yes! My wife uses straws, too.

Aganim,

That sounds quite uncomfortable.

Grayox, in An Academy award or Oscar at least.
@Grayox@lemmy.ml avatar
Meowoem,

That’s exactly what I came in here to post

Grayox,

My partner and I were tearing up by the end, it was so well done!
