@steppenhorse @johnofgauntlet @blightersort no I’m using my anecdotal experience to judge how policies have affected me

@slothrops_ennui @johnofgauntlet @blightersort > using your own n=1 anecdotal experience to judge policies affecting 40 million people Ngmi

she has a masters in drama from Yale and “had no idea what the odyssey was”. not just “hadn’t read it” had never heard of it at all apparently. what a damning indictment of Yale.

@steppenhorse @johnofgauntlet @blightersort I never have to worry about getting strings of bills after I leave the doctor or hospital, and my tax rate is almost the same as it was in the US. I bought a house here at a very reasonable interest rate, and daycare is pretty cheap!

@slothrops_ennui @johnofgauntlet @blightersort Okay so you’re actually delusional, never mind

@Apothegmata @jazzfan71 @blightersort so a school that’s always been held in high regard and has never required any of its students to have read or even heard of the Odyssey is now a failed school for not making Nyong’o read a poem that doesn’t pertain to her field of study?

@slothrops_ennui @jazzfan71 @blightersort No, I'd "expect" every other student of similar pedigree to know about it too. Unless admittance and attendance of that particular school is no longer a correct signal of such pedigree, which is the point.

@steppenhorse @johnofgauntlet @blightersort I live in Canada. It’s working really well here actually.

@slothrops_ennui @johnofgauntlet @blightersort Lol have fun with your dysfunctional socialist mayor who literally implements policies that have been disproven countless times but feew goowd

@steppenhorse @johnofgauntlet @blightersort but he’s not Greek. it’s not authentic. neither is literally almost any other cast member. aren’t you SO MAD about all of them too? or is it just Lupita for some reason?

@slothrops_ennui @johnofgauntlet @blightersort There are blonde white people of Greek ancestry you dunce, frequently mentioned in the Odyssey

@JamesSurowiecki Same. Still cannot get over how good Band of Brothers was. It’s something to make a show that you only watch once and remember vividly for the rest of your life.

This isn't controversial - it's crazy. I last watched Band of Brothers decades ago, and still vividly remember many scenes from it. The Pacific I barely remember anything of.

@mrgameandshart @ChronoKatie right but here’s the thing you kill your wife for the empire on the promise of robot parts, and sure you get the robot parts but no one tells you about the lifetime of servitude to the dark side and their inevitable failure if you choose to use the dark side against your master

@ChronoKatie You would too if you got some cool robot parts

Ah yes, Revenge of the Sith. The movie where Anakin gets tricked into becoming evil

@Starcaster1 which of the 8 endings was your favorite?

just finished watching all 3 Lord of the Rings movies for the first time you nerds were onto something

@TheMG3D there are artistic ways to use any tool. stealing and repurposing other people’s work will never be art. people need to find a way to use the tool without stealing.

Do you consider anything AI generated to be art? I’m very curious on what people’s thoughts are on this topic and their reasons for why they believe if it is or isn’t

@AustinTacious01 @dietxcokewhore that is a human face do you even know what a pumpkin is?

@dietxcokewhore Ohhhhh wait I think I found your problem you look like a Halloween pumpkin

i think men are allergic to messaging you back on tinder

@goatmonty okay not to go all Tucker Carlson on you but have you considered that it was demons?

no bc genuinely wtf is this massive scar on my side from. it takes pf most of the space from my lower ribs to shoulderblade

@steppenhorse @johnofgauntlet @blightersort

@slothrops_ennui @johnofgauntlet @blightersort You wokes want to have it both ways. We can’t make your garbage Black Panther movie with an all German cast, but any European or American culture must be free game. Nobody likes your stupid ideology.

@Apothegmata @jazzfan71 @blightersort I very much understand that you want Lupita Nyong’o to meet a standard that no other students are expected to meet just based on the fact that they attended a particular school

@slothrops_ennui @jazzfan71 @blightersort I've explained this several times but you seem to have trouble distinguishing between what is strictly required to pass a degree program and the type of person or learning environment that it implies

@steppenhorse @johnofgauntlet @blightersort are they mad that Matt Damon isn’t Greek?

@slothrops_ennui @johnofgauntlet @blightersort Just so you know, Greek people are really pissed off by this whole ordeal.

@eisielle @blightersort your premed required you to read the Odyssey?

@slothrops_ennui @blightersort Yeah, it’s was required for my pre-med too. Kinda like it’s important. If you were being honest about having a literature degree, you are proving the point about how abysmal the standards have become. You lack basic comprehension and analysis.

@johnofgauntlet 👍

@slothrops_ennui seems to be hurting you more than anyone lol

@steppenhorse @johnofgauntlet @blightersort what? what is this supposed to mean? Helen’s ethnicity is utterly unimportant to the story Homer was telling. if you can find me a black figure whose blackness is unimportant to their character, then yeah anyone of any ethnicity can play them. just like anyone can play Helen.

@slothrops_ennui @johnofgauntlet @blightersort I think you’re the only one here who thinks these people didn’t exist, and I also bet you would never make this argument about African mythical figures not being black.

@johnofgauntlet you’re the racist my dude. your shit only hurts yourself.

@slothrops_ennui i hope you're okay and my mean words didn't hurt your feelings too much lol

@mezinoz probably a bit of deep lore now (maybe not though!!) but the Batman line leading into and including Final Crisis is fucking GOLD

My friend really wants me to get into dc comics so he has someone to talk to about it so I’m starting here (?)

@johnofgauntlet I’ll save a bunch of them up to hand out to sad boys who are upset a brown lady is in a movie

@slothrops_ennui Okay I'll get you a tissue lol
