- Comment on Now I finally get it 1 week ago:
Only for Christians. I would assume this still holds for Jewish people, as well as some christians who still holds to the Old Testament due to Jesus saying that the old text will not be superceded.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 4 weeks ago:
Some Nazis were raised. They believe what they believe because their parents were Nazis.
Some of them do leave that way of thinking, but it is not easy.
Do not treat people like things, just because you think they are irredeemable.
That is what Nazis do.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 4 weeks ago:
Nazi lives don’t matter. The paradox of tolerance goes both ways. Do not tolerate the intolerant.
It’s not even a paradox. Being tolerant means allowing things you disagree with, but only up to a point.
It is fallacy to think that if we are intolerant to intolerance, we then become intolerant, thus defeating our own tolerance.
A fallacy mostly promoted by right-wingers.
The problem I have is that, although we shouldn’t tolerate Nazis, treating their deaths in car accidents as a non-event at best, or a national holiday at worst, does feel like moving toward the same dehumanising treatment that Nazis give to those they hate.
I don’t like it.

Without capitalism, maybe they wouldn’t have continued when they found out there wasn’t enough DNA for complete dinosaurs.
Or maybe they would have had enough time to think things through, and use safer/more appropriate replacement DNA.
Just spit balling.
- Comment on A simple solution, really 2 months ago:
A mocha pot? But then I’d still have to buy coffee beans, which are a luxury, right? Not buying a mocha pot means you don’t have to buy coffe either, thus saving even more money.
And that could go for all luxuries, to the point that life is just working to be able to work.
And none of this would be necessary if wages were higher overall, and there was a good social safety net.
Tell people to tax the rich, instead of telling people to forego their pleasures.

Why though? Why not just give yourself up, and prevent your friends from getting guiltridden in the process?
Sounds like a bad friend to me.
- Comment on That's a good question 2 months ago:
I was joking, though. There are actually people who wear sandwich boards with religious messages on them, specifically to fulfil they call to proselytise.
They often stand near shops.
I almost respect people who really try to talk to me more for actually fulfilling the spirit of it, rather than the letter.
- Comment on That's a good question 2 months ago:
It’s a bit like being told to go out into the world and tell everyone about your religion, and you do it by taping a cardboard sheet to your front and back with “Jesus is Lord” written on it.

Not that weird, considering they already had that in the original movie. Frog DNA.

- Comment on Ridley Scott Defends 'The Martian' As a Comedy 7 months ago:
It isn’t, really. It has funny moments, but on the whole it’s an action adventure film, and a very good one at that.

They even mention it in the article, seemingly without any awareness of the irony.
- Comment on According to the Wall Street Journal, "Wicked" Parts One and Two cost $320 million ($160 million per film). Both parts were shot back-to-back. 9 months ago:
I can, but only when it makes sense.
It made sense for Dune, where the story is too vast to tell in one movie of reasonable length. Lawrence of Arabia proved that it is possible, but also that it’s not easy.
This was a stage production, which you watch in one sitting, with intermission, more than likely.
In this adaptation, that intermission will be longer than half an hour. Way longer.
I have no hope that it will turn out to be a good adaptation.
- Comment on Exclusive Images: Gory and Raunchy ‘Popeye’ Horror Movie Coming in Early 2025! 9 months ago:
Because low effort horror producers are the first to need a “new” idea, and expired or public domain properties are the easiest way to get them.

- Comment on Actor Chris Pratt produces faith-based film about military chaplains 9 months ago:
Faith-based has been another word for films with a religious emphasis for a long time now.
And pointing out that he’s a Christian is par for the course on Christian websites, and relevant, since the film is religious, and readers may wonder why he’s making one.
Not that it’s been an obscure fact that he’s Christian. He’s ben very open about it.

It’s a Christian site. What kind of spin would they put on that headline?

Nah, I was just quoting one of the most memorable lines from the movie.
It was fun, but definitely not a good movie.

- Comment on Lord of the Rings Characters: Screen Time vs. Mentions in the Books 11 months ago:
But that’s what happened here. The x-axis has been unevenly distributed.
- Comment on Lord of the Rings Characters: Screen Time vs. Mentions in the Books 11 months ago:
A mention is not the same as an appearance, so the discrepancy for some characters could be even greater of you take that into account.

How else can you make it look like a linear grouping?
