  I don’t “need” a romantic partner. I need human connection of some kind but maybe not everyone does

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel bad when racist people call Myron Gains and the Hodge Twins racial slurs? Do they deserve it?⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It sounds like they are bad people but I don’t think that makes it okay to call them racial slurs. If a black person is an asshole, I’ll call them an asshole but I won’t call them a slur. I won’t make the insult be about their race or sexual orientation or anything of that sort.

  I sort of agree, though, that if they freely choose to be around racists, they shouldn’t be surprised when they’re exposed to racism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your opinions on film critics and film snobs??⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you consider it snobbery to tell people they’re not allowed to think about other things while watching a movie?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do some rich people date "poor" people?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. And some smart people date stupid people. Some people even date people on the opposite end of the political spectrum. I wouldn’t date someone with opposing political beliefs but some people do it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people with ADD and ADHD watch movies or shows???⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Part of what makes a movie good is ability to hold people’s attention

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people with ADD and ADHD watch movies or shows???⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Somehow, I don’t think you fully understand ADHD

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Superman's son didn't inherit Kryptonian powers but got powers a different way and became a superhero, how would Superman and Lois react?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there any particular reason they’d try to stop him? I guess they might be concerned about the danger but overall I would expect Superman to be proud of his son being a superhero like him

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your opinions on film critics and film snobs??⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. I rarely look to critics to decide whether to see a movie, I go see whatever movies I’m interested in. I like listening to YouTube videos discussing things I’ve already seen and I can leave a comment if I disagree with something they say or have something to add. However, I tend to avoid reviews for things I really like because I don’t want to hear negativity. For example, I really like the recent live action Snow White and I think listening to negative reviews will bring me down, so I avoid them. It’s when I have mixed feelings about a film, like Disenchanted, it’s fun to listen to people talk about

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. I watch lots of kids cartoons. Both nostalgic ones from my childhood, like Digimon, and new ones like Sofia the First

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way I can get someone or some company to get me books that are illegal in the US? And if so how would I go about it without losing half or all my money?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Are there books that are illegal in the US? there are books that are unavailable to buy in the US but I don’t think there are any that are illegal to possess. That may change with the rising fascism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you realize that we are all just large bags of saline⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump is made of at least 60% hot air

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is chess the most frustrating game to lose in?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Tic tac toe isn’t a game of luck, it’s a game purely based on strategy. Which is why, once everyone figures out the strategy it always ends in a tie

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be possible to model 9/11 using hot dogs for the planes?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For what purpose?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cultural impact⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And now people are accusing the upcoming Disney movie Hexed of being a ripoff of Owl House because apparently Owl House invented the idea of a hero being transported to a magical world.

  I understand Owl House fans are mad that Disney canceled the show prematurely and made the ending rushed. I agree that Disney shouldn’t have done that. But I’m not going to fault Disney for making another story where a character is transported to a magical world. Heck, Disney did it decades ago with Alice in Wonderland and with Peter Pan. They also did it with the Chronickes of Narnia and there are many more examples, both Disney and non-Disney

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I lose my temper if I'm blocked from a community or by a user?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I get angry if blocked because it feels like I’ve lost any opportunity to defend myself. I also have trauma from being treated unfairly in the real world

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ever notice how ads for games show someone playing in the most inefficient way possible so people will want to download the game to play it correctly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My little sister used to sometimes stand over me while I played computer games. She’d suggest moves and I’d be thankful at first, but at a certain point she was direction all my moves and I’d be like “just play the game on your own device if you want to play it”. She seemed to prefer telling someone else how to play than play her own game

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cultural impact⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And that’s perfectly fine if you like that kind of movie. But people who don’t like that kind of movie have no reason to watch these

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cultural impact⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m genuinely surprised the sequels are making money. I didn’t see any of them in theatres. I didn’t think people cared about this franchise. Maybe some are going mainly for the visuals, that’s the main reason I go to see the Jurassic movies

  Try it and see what happens

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You come across two AI chat bots⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ask them an easy question I know the answer to like what does the earth orbit around

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨End of the world⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Bring it on

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A kid in my semi hometown in arkansas said he was going to shoot up a wal-mart if we went on a hanta lockdown. He was arrested and everything. Can you really be charged fed for typing?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you expect the police to know the difference between “letting off steam” and a serious threat?

  Even saying you wish someone dead is inadvisable. It’s not illegal to say you wish someone dead but it does make you likely to be a suspect if they die under suspicious circumstances

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did we send this? Were we trying to scare the aliens away?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In Star Trek: Enterprise, they encounter a species that is highly offended by eating in public. It’s like sending them pictures of pooping or masturbation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a judge tells the jury to ‘forget XYZ,’ how can the jury possibly do that?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would guess they declare a mistrial and have to start over with a new jury. This is one of the reasons justice is slow

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When a judge tells the jury to ‘forget XYZ,’ how can the jury possibly do that?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well it means that officially, they’re not supposed to consider it a factor in their decision making. But you’re right that it’s not really possible to completely erase the influence on their minds. Even if they try to completely disregard it, it will still have an impact on their thoughts

  In one of the Frozen short films, Elsa creates an army of loving snowmen by sneezing
