- Comment on Will Hollywood's remake of Parasite really succeed? 1 day ago:
It’s not categorically impossible, but unlikely. However it seems the American version will instead be a HBO show.
Bong is teaming up with “The Big Short” and “Vice” director Adam McKay to co-executive produce the series. It’s supposed to be an English language remake of the Oscar-winning film, but with more subplots and characters.
The guy who directed the Anchorman and Ricky Bobby movies isn’t giving me a lot of hope. Even more serious stuff like “The Big Short” doesn’t seem like a qualifier to handle this type of social commentary. I’d much rather see someone like the Coen brothers who are known for wry dry sarcasm and microfocusing on small communities.
Adding more “characters and subplots” sounds like an attempt justifying more episodes, the source had a fleshed out world in a movie. Are we adding things that actually improve the story or padding the numbers?
Idk, I’ll eat my words if it turns out great, I just don’t see much reason to get my hopes up.

- Comment on What does "Woke" mean to you? 2 weeks ago:
Consider why conspiracy theorists always “they don’t want you to X”, “they” could mean the Illuminati, Deep state, Freemasons, the Catholic church, Jewish cabals or whichever group you think has power. As long as you say “they”, everyone will nod and fill in the blank to their personal boogeyman.
Now woke originally meant being aware of racism, but since 2020 and the George Floyd protests, which the right demonized as woke riots. It then became a catchall term for any acknowledgment of structural imbalances.
Acknowledging racism is woke. MLK and Lincoln fixed it. Acknowledging sexism is woke. Suffragettes fixed it. Acknowledging homophobia is woke. They can get married, so it’s fixed. Acknowledging transphobia is woke. Trans folk are evil pedophiles. Acknowledging ICE killings is woke. Immigrants are dangerous.
Woke is used as a pejorative to describe someone who doesn’t think the world is perfect. If you think the world could be improved or if you understand some very basic history, then your woke.

- Comment on GOG Summer Sale is here! 1 month ago:
Just context for people since I had to look it up myself.
Neither statement actually says Nazi or Faccism is wrong. Literally the one thing that would help them right now, and twice they failed to do it. The GoG forums are full of folks saying this has been a known problem for years that hate speech was not being moderated.
Sooooo, yeah. It’s pretty disappointing. Not sending it to Germany (where it is illegal and punishable) but then okaying its use for rest of the world is a WILD explanation. I’m sure af not going to buy GoG anymore.

I’ve never really played any GW games, but a honest to goodness new MMO from a experienced studio is exciting! For so long the genre have been awash with kickstarter scams like Ashes of Creation or multiple Ultimas, it’s encouraging to have some hope.
- Comment on How come Mark Wahlberg got a pass for being the crap out of a Vietnamese guy. But Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby, Weinstein, do not get a pass? Beside the sexual aspect what is the difference? 1 month ago:
True. I’m not saying he should never be able to move on, these happened when he was a literal child. Just making sure everyone is on the same page because *he beat someone up" isn’t the full story.

It’s a lot more than just beating someone up. Mark has committed numerous hate crimes.

If you still have it, my wife would be delighted to see Heroes of Hammerwatch II. We played the poop out of the first one but forget the 2nd existed. If not no worries, thanks for doing this regardless! <3
- Comment on Put your seat back or no? 2 months ago:
Complaining about someone using a seat as designed feels entitled to me. Sorry. I’ve always so confused how some people consider it encroaching. Sure it’s all shared space, but that means you are sharing it with others. Reclining inherently uses that chairs fair space.

- Comment on Ex-Alex Jones employee reflects on job at Infowars: ‘It was nonsense. It was lies’ 3 months ago:
Owens told NPR that leaving Infowars wasn’t easy because his sense was that it was “kind of black mark” on his résumé that he worked for Jones. He said Jones himself would boast to his employees: “You cannot exist in the world outside … here because you are connected to me.”
Justifiably so, willingness to tell what you know as outright bigoted lies for a paycheck makes you categorically untrustworthy. So he stayed on, knowingly causing more harm because we all need to pay rent.
Remember y’all, capitalism breeds innovation. It would be SO much worse if his material conditions such as food and house were guaranteed. No lazy free loaders here, just innovators innovating propaganda.

- Comment on How does genital nomenclature change as a person transitions? 4 months ago:
Well the answer is a deceptively simple “it all depends on the person”. The line for when it crosses over into dysphoria isn’t a universal one. Really the only way you would know if you upset him is if he told you. So if he hasn’t ever said anything to this effect, don’t overthink it. It’s a common idiom.
The good rule of thumb is “would I be making a genitals comment to a cis person in this same situation?”. Lots of guys will make dick jokes, but how often do those same guys ask each other the medical history of their junk? Not often I’d imagine, and the times that would happen would be for a specific reason.
Might be safe to err on not making references to the genitals they were born with, but everyone different. As a trans woman I will happily use my vestigial teeny tiny penis as a punchline if I know I am among friends. I’d just never presume to make that joke about another trans woman.

Make a dish twice, once without the bay leaf. There is an obvious difference. It’s fine to not like the taste of any particular spice but saying there is none is sort of crazy?
- Comment on The script is mysterious and important. 5 months ago:
Will Smith is a perfectly fine action hero, romantic and comedic star. But I struggle to see him pull something that nuanced off. Has he ever been a villain?
Started skimming wiki out of curiosity. Suicide Squad very technically? I am legend makes the best case for it, but even that is played very hero.
