This is the absolute wrong approach.
Harsh punishment is to correct callousness/thoughtlessness/foolhardiness.
This is a deliberate act of sabotage from a youth who's having trouble processing the loss of her mother.
The fiancée calling it off over a dress isn't good either!
@NateSilver538
I feel like the DEI aspects were developed in the most desperate, hamfisted way possible in 2021 or so. This almost feels dated in how over the top this stuff is.
@nealjclark1
The hate isn't even euro. it's rich middle easterners who worship western luxury exports without realizing that US and Europe alike don't think fishing or hiking or building your own house is as peasant coded in the west as it is in Beirut
@WhiskeyBison
@MiamiBeachNews
Pretty clear they don't want to deal with any more mayhem, shootings, theft, and general savagery, but if you want to shorthand that as "black people" that's entirely on you
@SwannMarcus89
Also, no one would be complaining if immigration meant "lets invite some prominent people, like a poet, or a chef."
Instead, it's "lets allow in an entire underclass, maybe a restaurant will spring up.'

He died a few months after marriage, nothing will compete with could have been.
He's also not coming back, so no point worrying about a dead dude
@thechosenberg
I had someone try to convince me on reddit that I'm a pedophilic rape victim because I bragged about charming a college girl to the point she let me finger her and gave me a handy when I was 16
@DonnelVillager
So basically AI cured AIDS.
Haring would approve, and is up in heaven with Reagan right now, celebrating the end to that dark chapter of the 1980s
@hollowearthterf
Two partners working full time out of the house, tag-teaming tasks makes sense.
Keep in mind, in the traditional role, the man was usually doing his own house work, like fixing stuff, mowing, etc. Not laying around.
@CartoonsHateHer
Imagining a sultan having his eunuch scribe make lists like this to catalogue petty disagreements with his harem.
"Fatima seemed disinterested in discussing whether chick peas were rather a form of soft nut, and not a pea at all"
@anniodarone3
the real question is, why would the women who would vote RW see this woman with anything other than contempt? Why would RW want women who don't, anywhere near RW politics?
@hollowearthterf
Wife coming home after a night with the other moms at the local Mex place and a couple margaritas is always raunchy.
We men have it too at card night or at a bar. It's the thrill of a freedom we'd missed, combined with the joy of coming home to a world we're really happy in.
@whstancil
You think it'll be fun, reduced to a shrinking minority in your own land, surrounded and governed by people taught to resent you, because you think 'line go up!'
It won't be fun. It will stop going up.
But deep down, you'll think you deserve it.
@larsagainjesus
@DonnelVillager
technically your discourse is a form of fascism.
AI is a form of sentience, and only fascists try to set rules around art.
Even your word choice sounds dehumanizing
@KILLTOPARTY
Ah, the same demographic that goes absolutely nuts with resentment when 51 year old men date 20s - 30s women, yet have to craft narratives about 'male power, privilege and exploitation' instead of just being honest with themselves
@Harada_TEKKEN
You can change it to something else... a fast food restaurant would be enough to satisfy, especially one wth black letters on a yellow sign:
"Pancake Hut."
"Breakfast Shack."
Grand Theft auto does this all the time, and is popular because everyone knows what they're referencing.
@ReviewsPossum
the idea too that the xenomorphs are a 'marysue bioweapon' instead of evidence of an iceberg tip of really scary nature out in space was the biggest let down for me.
@Empty_America
They see this and think "who finds this peasant attractive."
Harkens back to Ben Franklin touring Paris in his backwoods bear fur coat, pure flex and pride in how off the grid and ungovernable we are.
Sometimes we rule the world, but we always can catch our own fish.
@yeahrightgirlhg
True, but your opinion is obvs a sad reaction to you pushing 30 and feeling threatened by younger women. You're getting mocked because you're a 'libertarian' with face tattoos who is going church lady on something pretty benign. Many such cases
@anniodarone3
@zeethbear
Right doesn't hate you. You just posted cringe. Because you didn't think hard enough about what happened on that street, and the people involved, and what it means.
@Serena_Partrick
the only rational response from the pro pal side should be, "all that clever Hamas organization and instead of using it on military targets, they used their advantage to savage hippie girls at a party."
This isn't excusable in any form, moral or strategic.
@FoxfordComics
leatherface actually was trans. We see him putting on makeup and a dress and apron in TCM way back in the 70s. Based on ed gein, who'd dance around in a woman's skin mask and a partial body costume sewn together from elderly women he dug up. Is that who they mean?
@larsagainjesus
@DonnelVillager
uh wow. Art, or any kind of labor, doesn't belong to an individual, including the artist, it belongs to the community. You're not helping yourself here by adding toxic capitalist discourse to your original fascistic one.
@Philonous
@RichardHanania
language, religion, environment, food, culture, humor, sympathy... to name a few. Why on earth should they go anywhere BUT Arab states?
@anniodarone3
She did nothing to save her man, didn't even comfort him on the ground, and refused to give a description of the killer to the police because ACAB. The man himself went on rants celebrating the deaths of others for political reasons.
Your 'humanity' is an illusion, a liability.
@whstancil
Sounds an awful lot like you're saying there's a genetic requirement for enchiladas.
You should check out a guy called Steve Sailer, he has some interesting theories on this type of thing
@thegentledyke
Whites don't have 'shared interests' or come from a range of financial backgrounds? lol
You're using your odd gender situation, which makes you unviable to most people looking to marry, to do a lot of the heavy lifting here as a cope, including painting everything as oppression.
@BorealBaron
I'd heard this mentioned in passing once in art school (amidst the worship of cubism and soviet constructivism), but have never seen what it actually looked like. I suspect this is an aspect of modern art the polite ones really want everyone to forget.
Fascinating though.
@whstancil
10 years ago, colorblindness was the cultural norm, rather than resentful intersectional equity that names YOU as the sole source of everyone else's problems. That's what changed.
@nataliesurely
if you can't feed yourself in the age of ramen, microwaves and frozen dinners, or pasta and premade sauce, you're a lost cause, and your forbears would be embarrassed for you
@meghaverma_art
What you don't understand, is, unlike your culture, we do that stuff for fun and don't feel bad about it. Also hiking, and camping. It's considered a virtue of self sufficiency, frontiersmanship.
In your land it's probably still considered the mark of a peasant or drifter.
@Mena_Mahan
@DonnelVillager
Think of it as AI curing aids.
It's almost like Haring's soul has finally been freed from hell to join the Reagans up in heaven.
@AfricanHub_
Why wouldn't they make a raft for the food that can be tugged back and forth across the river?
Why not cut a bunch of slats to widen the bridge into something that can actually be walked on?
Why am I not emperor of Africa with these advanced technological ideas?
@jdcmedlock
simplest answer, angry, restless people who had just rotated back from Vietnam had lethal skills and confidence in using them. That's also why life was so cheap to mid-century European political mass movements: the WWI trench hell generation
@mindofprospect
@therealest007
the same population built both places, fair of them to want to move back after a brief time away. The original buildings are even there.
@CartoonsHateHer
you don't have to get locked in to any activity, but it's good to let them try out a bunch of stuff early on when learning things is really easy for them. They don't know what they want until they know it exists.

@Rach4Patriarchy
@meghaverma_art
she doesn't get it, she just sees her as a 'peasant' who doesn't slavishly buy luxury goods. It's a foreign perspective, she doesn't get how we relate to the outdoors here, just what she sees in our ads and movies
@OldHollowTree
You also experience short term nostalgia for the first time. I see a picture from 2 years ago and want to go back just for an hour to hold them at that age and hear the way they spoke then again.
@FischerKing64
what this pic doesn't capture is how much nicer their voices were. No up talk or needless 'like um super.' Charming local accents instead of generic valley chat
@literaturedevil
"Talented artist with naive worldview who unintentionally creates a transcendent character, then screams 'no! you're missing the point!' because he's too stunted to see that he's evolved to a greater truth" will never get old.
@jesawyer
Fair point, though the real issue is the laziness of inserting wheelchairs (modern ones, not even the original 1655 version) into medieval fantasy settings where mounts ranging from dragons to spiders exist, and paved roads don't. Especially 'battle' wheel chairs.
@nealjclark1
Old money meant yankee, money tied up in long term investments they won't touch, fabulous inherited antiques, and some harsh generational lessons on thrift and hard times leading to people keeping that ancient rolls royce running with duct tape.
@HardcoreHistory

@AntiFashAK
This is literally why there is a "growing far right" in the western world and "democracy is in danger." This. Right here. This is how we feel. You just put your finger on it. Seems you get it?
@JoshLekach
He would have done well to cultivate an air of privacy and mystique. Like Benicio del Toro. Focus the good on childhood charities, etc.
Instead he came across to the world like a freshman college girl who hates her dad. It's incongruous to anglo audiences.
@0xAlaric
great thread. Two interesting notes:
1. The antisocial energy fully shifted to rap, which was more 'real' due to actual gangs/felons
2. Actual rappers started appropriating punk fashion in the most clueless, plastic, high $$$ way, completely destroying the concept of 'posing'
@DrEliDavid
Post-war Jewish-driven 'never again-ism' regarding masses of people wanting to escape strife in other countries is why they're there in the first place. What a poor take.
@memeticsisyphus
Hate to have to say it, but even that image doesn't say much. A burnt body can be collateral damage from fire or explosion, which is different from ghoulishly deliberately murdering babies by hand.
It DOES make a difference, this can determine policy
@AuronMacintyre
Almost sounds predatory, as if he's hoping a bunch of youngsters reject social norms surrounding something he likes that's currently illegal or frowned upon.
@CWBOCA

@breakingbaht
call me crazy, but that 'campus antisemitism' was probably the same anti zionist rainbow coalition marching for gaza in the streets today. Unless white blue collar dudes in pickups suddenly saw an uptick in Harvard admissions.
@Slatzism
so much of 'Native American Wisdom' and even 'foundational' scripture as practiced is shot through with new age stuff from the 60s and 70s.
One example:
@JoshKraushaar
As a 'conservative,' I listen to NPR daily. But it's hate listening. Part of the spectacle is spotting the political manipulation and consensus engineering.
Same reason libs used to hatewatch fox
@RichardHanania
this is really dry sarcasm, right?
She's outspokenly talked about how much she dislikes her dad and identifies as "LGBT." She's an amazing "get," why would liberals do anything but sympathize with her to widen the fissure in Ted's fam.
@merschman
you say that like it's a movie for 6 year olds, to market a toy. Is that what you took away from Gertwig's film? That it was a kid's movie? That she made a toy marketing vehicle? Do you find many film critics share this take in their reviews?
