neptune,

Isn’t “coming from you” a put down? Or does it more mean “you care about fashion and looks, so obviously you know”?

neptune,

Learn about one religion and you may become faithful. Learn about many and you may become an atheist.

There’s some truth and some idiocy behind this meme. Just because, for example, the US political system tends toward a two party system, does not mean you can always or always not find some amount of truth or good ideas based on what two parties tell you. In fact, the framing is irrelevant toward truth, and is even it’s own type of bias. There are certainly some third rails neither side of a debate will touch, or some things both find the need to lie about. But in some cases someone is sort of right about something and sometimes people are just wrong.

neptune,

Consequences aren’t the only thing that cause people to act they way they act. It’s certainly one reason some people don’t do certain things.

One reason Homelander is the way he is is because how he was raised. If tomorrow I got all Homelander’s powers, I wouldn’t instantly become a psychopath. I mean it might occur to me that any action I might take, and no one could stop me or punish me. But as Homelander observed (at least in the prior season, I’m not entirely caught up) that alienation from his fellow supers is actually a consequence he deals with.

neptune,

Even still, weren’t their dozens of people shoveling gravel and only a couple of vice presidents? The pyramid structure of corporations imply that not everyone can go from the entry level work to the c suite. It’s an attrition and numbers game.

Plus, most companies now outsource their grunt work. The janitor cannot become the CEO anymore, because the janitor is a contracted worker, making minimum wage, not invited to the Christmas party, and prevented from speaking to anybody in a position of authority.

neptune,

Apparently everyone thought having terms to describe friendship, even though he had written extensively on the different types of “love”. It seems like a put down, but if everyone else thought friendship wasn’t worth considering at the time, he’s probably pleased that people now think his time well spent.

neptune,

A grilled cheese consists of only these following items. Cheese. Bread with spread (usually butter). This entire subreddit consist of “melts”. Almost every “grilled cheese” sandwich i see on here has other items added to it. The fact that this subreddit is called “grilledcheese” is nothing short of utter blasphemy. Let me start out by saying I have nothing against melts, I just hate their association with sandwiches that are not grilled cheeses. Adding cheese to your tuna sandwich? It’s called a Tuna melt. Totally different. Want to add bacon and some pretentious bread crumbs with spinach? I don’t know what the hell you’d call that but it’s not a grilled cheese. I would be more than willing to wager I’ve eaten more grilled cheeses in my 21 years than any of you had in your entire lives. I have one almost everyday and sometimes more than just one sandwich. Want to personalize your grilled cheese? Use a mix of different cheeses or use sourdough or french bread. But if you want to add some pulled pork and take a picture of it, make your own subreddit entitled “melts” because that is not a fucking grilled cheese. I’m not a religious man nor am I anything close to a culinary expert. But as a bland white mid-western male I am honestly the most passionate person when it comes to grilled cheese and mac & cheese. All of you foodies stay the hell away from our grilled cheeses and stop associating your sandwich melts with them. Yet again, it is utter blasphemy and it rocks me to the core of my pale being. Shit, I stopped lurking after 3 years and made this account for the sole purpose of posting this. I’ve seen post after post of peoples “grilled cheeses” all over reddit and it’s been driving me insane. The moment i saw this subreddit this morning I finally snapped. Hell, I may even start my own subreddit just because I know this one exists now.

You god damn heretics. Respect the grilled cheese and stop changing it into whatever you like and love it for it what it is. Or make your damn melt sandwich and call it for what it is. A melt.

“Every year, American culture embarks on a massive project to carefully recreate the Christmases of baby boomer childhoods.”

neptune,

It’s almost like “hate the sin” means “judge people” which is something god did politely ask us not to do.

neptune,

Yes, because the mentally ill and the old and the unlucky deserve the tents.

Obviously everyone is different. Etc. But you should read this article.

Basically this one woman immerses herself in the worst corners of the new right.

Come for the schadenfreude, stay for the man who won’t eat ketchup.

neptune,

The only plausible explanation is that Watto is so pissed at Qui Gon for cheating him at dice that he will never sell her.

neptune,

The right, when called out by a meme and feeling sensitive about it ^

neptune,

I’m pretty sure Yoda began the clone wars when he said “begun the Clone War has”.

neptune,

Nobody is, and that’s the wrong question to ask.

neptune,

It turns out rape is part of genocide.
