Luckily for me I get exploited physically and mentally. I strive to one day only be exploited mentally.

I think it comes from Spanish-speaking Brits, or maybe a British Yoda, that’s why it’s “init, scripts?” and not “scripts, init?”

Rupert Grint was honestly the highlight of like the first 3 or 4 films. Most child actor movies are fun and cheesy to watch as an adult but something about that little red headed goof ball makes everything he says adorable and hilarious.

Yeah, specific terminology can be confusing, and I’m sure it varies a lot from person to person as well as region or region, that’s why clear communication is important.

I don’t doubt what you’re saying but I didn’t see any reference to her age in the link you posted

My understanding is that, in the pre-exclusive phase, either party can be talking to multiple people (hence the “unexeclusive” part), it’s just generally in bad taste to bring it up or talk about, and it’s much more likely for a woman to have multiple people interested in her than a man. So the likelihood of a man exclusively dating a woman who is not exclusively dating him is decent, and that can feel one sided.

“How much is too much” really depends on the person, but I’ll venture to say that a single shared joint a day is not enough to induce scromiting in anyone remotely tolerant.

But they chose to (assumedly) cheap out on getting fortune cookies from an advertiser rather than normal cookies.

Aren’t shitty scams supposed to at least be enticing? Who’s falling for this shit? Why’d they start entering the fediverse?

I genuinely want to know the thought process that leads anything resembling a representative of any kind of company to attempt to advertise their product on a hyper-niche platform that is pretty much only known for its anti-capitalist nature, specifically in the “shit posting” community.

I mean it’s not even really close to the same thing, no? It’s a single use street and the use is “retail” and maybe a bit of food. The closest thing would be the ones with a string of cheap shitty apartments across the street.

I genuinely have zero idea how you came to any of the conclusions you did based on what I said. Maybe there’s more context to the comment you were originally talking about, but nowhere did I ever even imply that artists should “aim for” or pander to the common denominator. I’m saying that, no matter the artists intentions, no matter how obvious or on the nose the messaging is, there are going to be cops with Punisher tattoos, and teenagers with stolen cars and guns listening to Kendrick Lamar. If you make a movie about how the Nazis were psychopathic fascists who eventually get destroyed, there will be people who can’t get over how cool their aesthetic was. None of this is to say that this art should not exist, I’m not detracting from the artists. I’m pointing out a flaw in society. Messaging in art, no matter how well crafted, will never say the same thing to everyone, for better or worse.

This way, even those who don’t drive still pay for oil! Capitalism!
Yet when we suggest doing the same for healthcare it’s “socialism” and a bad thing
- Comment on Anon wants to live on Super Earth 1 month ago:
Why are you talking as if their argument is completely nonsensical or novel? It’s kind of a known thing that even if you portray something as “bad” as possible, there will be a number of people that look past/ don’t see the criticism of the subject and take the creation of work as a sign that the subject is to be praised. Look at the music industry with gang violence, misogyny and drug use; lots of more modern artists make music that shows how these things harm society, yet casual listeners will put on a song about alcohol abuse to get drunk at a party.
It isn’t necessarily that the artist is advocating for it, so much as they’ve produced a work that can be misinterpreted (unintentionally or otherwise) to do so.

- Comment on What a nice blue and black dress. 1 month ago:
I always saw it as black and blue, until I was scrolling Reddit (as was the style back then) and saw a thumbnail for a meme that had the image of the dress in it. I didn’t pay attention to the thumbnail before opening it, so I only noticed a vaguely light colored object. But when the image loaded full size, the dress was the distinct black and blue I’d seen before. I backed out and took a second look at the thumbnail, and again it looked white and gold.
Now that I’m thinking about it, it could have been the surrounding colors of the screen that effected how I perceived the dress. After discovering this I recreated the effect by taking a screenshot of the dress while zoomed out really far (to essentially turn it in to a thumbnail on its own), but both that and the Reddit thumbnail had a dark background that may have made the dress seem lighter in comparison.
- Comment on What a nice blue and black dress. 1 month ago:
I’ve always been able to see both colors of the dress by changing the size of the image, so the phenomenon “made sense” to me, but I legitimately have no idea how that image is supposed to explain it lol. There’s two different colored dresses with seemingly random parts highlighted with different colored boxes… are they supposed to look the same in the highlighted area or something?

Eh, the examples shown imo were 50/50 improvements vs downgrades. First few were good, couple looked really bad, then a few good ones again. I suppose it’s subjective. As long as it’s just an option that can be turned off I don’t think it’s that bad.
