I have been laughing at this comment for the past 8 minutes

I sort of forgot I made that comment. Thanks for the reminder. Have deleted.

I’m not looking to cause drama here in any way whatsoever. I’m not looking to upset people or cause confusion or anything. I stand by what I said in the welcome post on /c/TenForward. We just have a different moderation philosophy than Risa and wanted to go about making the community in a different fashion.

No drama. Just a difference of opinion.

Wait. That was M&Ms real slogan? Well now the little laugh from 50 Cent when he says that line in Candy Shop makes a lot more fuckin sense.

Can you please edit your comment to reflect your source on this? For the record, I know the source and it’s just straight up factual with Israel outright confirming it happened, but yeah. Just to help prevent some reports. Thanks <3

There is no context. It’s just a random shitpost.

Most likely rogue AI scenario

We don’t have any data to base such a likelihood off of in the first place.

Newfies do the same. Was a whole fuckin thing to unlearn when I found the Internet lol

Bottom.

But I’ll take the top bunk.

1. It’s DSC. Not STD. Calling it STD has never made sense and is just a flagrant insult to the show. No other shows acronym starts with ST. Stop being so disrespectful. You can share your opinion without mocking stuff, especially given the description.
2. No it is not objectively garbage, that is your opinion.
3. “Please be chill and positive.” “No.”

Star Trek directed by someone who doesn’t like Star Trek. There were a lot of people on those movies who really loved Star Trek and it showed through. They’re not the best, that’s for sure, but I still like them for what they are. However I will say that Beyond is definitely my favorite. Might have something to do with JJ not directing it at all and it feeling like an interesting mix of a TOS episode and Kelvin timeline action/adventure.

Also Idris Elba.

And there’s plenty to like as well. But once again, thanks for looking at this posts description about positivity and flagrantly ignore it to give throwaway negative comments. You did the same thing over on another post earlier of someone saying they like Discovery. I’m so tired of this hatefilled focus on Discovery. So many people here are able to share their opinions about not liking Discovery respectfully and without randomly throwing it in everyones faces. Why do people like you have to always double down and drill in that hatred everytime it’s even mentioned? You’re just… exhausting.

It’s homocide.

I’ve chosen homocide.

I meant to add that and it just passed over my head in the fit of rage I was having while typing that.

Stamets, 8 months ago

I try not to hate people anymore. It’s just too exhausting. I did before, a lot of people, and I’m just so tired.

But that man?

I could be on my deathbed and would still put on a Grandpa Joe type display if I found out that scum-covered amalgamation of used condoms had finally fucking died.

You’re not the only person to share that sentiment. I post a lot. Few reasons.

1. To try and help build Lemmy. Need to have an influx of new material consistently or things get stale and drop off.
2. To make other people sick of me so they start posting themselves which just goes back to point 1.
3. Because I am suicidally depressed and the constant posting/reacting to notifications distracts me from my own problems long enough that I get to breathe without hating the fact that I am.
4. I have been stockpiling stuff for years for seemingly no reason. By posting, I can justify my past memegoblin behavior.
5. It’s fun

I see it in Star Trek all the time too. My namesake, Stamets, is a character in Star Trek: Discovery who is gay. He’s the first gay main Trek character in the entire history of the series. Honestly it is the only real depiction of homosexuality across all of Star Trek in general. When he was introduced as a character, he was just the science guy. Then two or three episodes in, he breaks his nose and goes to sickbay to get it treated. A Doc, Culber, treats him and is snarky to him. At the end of that episode, you see Culber and Stamets brushing their teeth together in the same bathroom and you realize they’re actually a couple and together. That Culber was being snarky and bitchy because the man he loves injured himself and is being a dick, not because he’s just a dick character himself.

That was in 2016 and the backlash was white hot and while it’s died down a bit, it’s still there. I constantly see people saying that “Oh why does he need to be gay?” or “Being gay doesn’t add anything to his character” as if being straight does. It always just boils down to “I don’t want to see that because I am made uncomfortable by gay people” 100% of the time.

Getting real sick of flagrant homophobes trying to pretend that they give a shit about the quality of a TV show and whether something is shoved in or not when there are more unsightly straight romances than there are stars in the sky and no one seems to give a flying fuck.

Yes, and blasting it on speaker mode is a whole different problem. One that mainly ends with that person being an inconsiderate asshole and forcing everyone in the vicinity to listen to their conversation.

It’s just ‘Main Character Syndrome’ energy and needs to fuck off.

Imagine taking a meme seriously

But it is tho. Being an actual adult is taking care of yourself and maximizing what you can do and how to do it. How best to support onesself. Not suffering for the sake of suffering and then insisting everyone else suffer as well.

Stamets, 8 months ago (edited 8 months ago)

What’s wrong with that?

Because it’s insanely inconsiderate and extremely egotistical. You aren’t the only person in the world. We’re both watching the movie and we’re both equally as confused. When you ask those questions what you’re doing is interrupting the movie for someone else to demand an explanation for yourself. An explanation you will not get as, again, both of us are confused. Other people are watching the movie too. Interrupting it to try and get answers for yourself is some narcissistic behavior, especially when you’re in a movie theater with shitloads of other people around you.

Moreover, during the middle of the movie is not the place to have a discussion. People are trying to watch it and enjoy it, not listen to some breakdown about the events so far. If you want to have those discussions then keep it for after the movie when attention can be properly given to the discussion, not a half whispered response in a tone of “Dude, can you shut up?”
