ParsnipWitch,

This is a great resource and post! I feel bad for commenting already but I can’t help it.

OpenSuse is missing and, this is of course personal opinion, but I think Debian is a great distro for beginners.

Also OpenSuse can be great for beginners. Though not as much as Debian.

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

ParsnipWitch,

Horror movies are unfairly judged because most people who do not like horror movies watch them for the wrong reasons.

ParsnipWitch,

That is why it’s an amazing movie.

ParsnipWitch,

To understand this you have to know that at the time when “Jaws” came into cinema there were people leaving cinema during the film because they “couldn’t handle it”. There were even newspaper articles about how the movie allegedly traumatized people. The same goes for movies like “The Shining”.

When “The Exorcist” came out people were not prepared.

Build two cases, calculate for both, drag both case through the entirety of both problems, get two answers, make a case for both answers, end up with two hypothesis. Easy!

ParsnipWitch,

At least where I live as a millennial you could have had a really nice childhood - until you finished school. Most struggled to find a job. Businesses would hire you as unpaid intern at best, etc. All while your parents (the boomers) expected you to have house, car and family in your twenties.

ParsnipWitch,

Sure, because every white elderly woman can only be a racist asshole. Makes you look like a Karen.

ParsnipWitch,

Video Games. I can escape into video games from everything. They protect me when I am lonely, in pain, suicidal, desperate. I can even play video games in my mind.

I guess every culture that came to the conclusion to make some kind of bread at some point in time eventually put stuff on that bread. Like leftovers. The question is, do we call that a pizza… Or is it a flat sandwich or something…

ParsnipWitch,

Thank you! I will use this knowledge to be even more of an annoyance and smart-ass to my surroundings. It’s perfect…

ParsnipWitch,

What kind of perspective does one need to have to believe it is good when there are no resources (money, people) to care for the elderly?

ParsnipWitch,

I know this type of scary talk. It also comes up when people talk about assisted suicide. Some people on the fringe believe it would be a good option for addicts, the homeless, etc.

They believe it’s a rational standpoint. In reality they ignore the consequence this approach would have for our society on a psychological level.

ParsnipWitch,

He’s a guy, not a woman.

ParsnipWitch,

That’s a guy. Also, it’s kinda scary to think how many school shooters actually could be put into the picture.

ParsnipWitch,

I let you in on a secret: these type of people exist in every gender. So do people who are sensitive and emotional. Stereotypes and sexism about that is dumb. Believing anecdotal evidence speaks for a whole group of people is dumb as well.

What works if someone has a preference is to look early into how a person ticks. Instead of focusing on stereotypes and other superficial assumptions (for example).

ParsnipWitch,

Since you are a rational person and not just emotionally reacting, I bet you have a credible source for these blanket statements. Can you name one, please? Because I can’t find even one.

ParsnipWitch, (edited )

I think some people are just not compatible with each other. To try and claim one way is right or better or more rational is surprisingly unrational and not aligned with finding a solution.

When you are unable to offer emotional support or empathy to your partner, communicate early that you won’t be willing or able to listen to their problems on their terms. Then they can decide if that’s okay with them. Problem solved.

ParsnipWitch,

I am not sure if this was supposed to be a response to my comment or got their accidentally ?

I asked if you have a source for this claim, because I couldn’t find any:

a hard life makes people like my mother, a coddled person tends to be very emotional.

ParsnipWitch, (edited )

This could also be an issue of this:

The difference between empathy and sympathy

In my experience some people struggle with empathy a lot more than they realise. And the “solutions” they offer are just ways for them to try and get out of an uncomfortable conversation. There are better and more honest ways to do that.

ParsnipWitch,

Melons and pumpkins are called Panzerbeeren by german botanists.

For example that Gaza is overcrowded not because Israel made it so, but because on average people in Gaza have 5+ children.

ParsnipWitch, (edited )

You believe that anyone who says it is not genocide is fine with people killing Palestinians?

So you are fine with murdering people as long as it is not genocide?

ParsnipWitch,

I still remember when I first saw this on Reddit the name of ruawri (including the trans flag) was cut off and people were insulting her in the comments how she was self-absorbed, “character looks nothing like her”, “she wishes she looked like that”, “women always make themselves in video games”, etc.

When it turns out she is trans now suddenly it’s sweet and wholesome and got featured at Respectful Memes. People are hypocrites.

ParsnipWitch,

The one thing that broke me as a child when it comes to movies was Watership Down. Damn that thing should be 18+
