@mattparlmer "This nice area that I stuck to was fine. London doomers are lying."
The eternal call of the sheltered grifter.

@twinkdefcon Because Catholicism has the built in "get out of jail free" card where you're expected to sin then beg for forgiveness.
Where as protestant is straight up "thou shall NOT" period.
And grifters don't want to actually follow Christian rules. Most people don't.

It is genuinely weird that Catholicism became the *it* religion for right-wing LARPers in a sense. Protestantism is the confession of the old white elite; if you want hard conservativism, there’s Orthodoxy; Catholicism in America is the faith of immigrants and diaspora

Been reading a lot of old books satirizing traditional WASP culture and I would love for someone smart to explain to me why Catholicism became the aspirational right wing trad country club aesthetic instead of Protestantism…? 🤔

@sleepin_volk @Ecclesiasticu12 Sure it did. Casting a black dude for the sake of casting a black dude. Diversity hire right there. It's the entire basis of woke.
English
@Ecclesiasticu12 Calling this proto-wokism proves some of you have lost your minds from the recent ideology that's spread in the west.
Nothing about that character had any woke tropes.
English
I miss ‘90s proto-wokism. “We’re going to insert a black character that’s never been part of the story before, but we’ll make him the most absurd exoticized magical negro stereotype imaginable.”
English
@Ecclesiasticu12 Though they pretty much stole that character from the excellent 1980s Robin of Sherwood series.
English
@Ecclesiasticu12 No that wasn't really absurd because he was a foreigner from the crusades. Which were a part of the Robin Hood story.

Only 27% of Americans support continuing the war in Iran.
THE US PUBLIC IS TURNING ON TRUMP, THE WAR PRESIDENT.

@2000Diamondman @DarkOddCon Do these kids happen to be in dumbshit "zero tolerance" schools where they get in trouble for fighting back?
Because any parent that says that should be slapped.
English
@AdamSaturdayRPC @DarkOddCon Sorry to say, but most kids are just told to take it and not retaliate

Bring back kids with thick New York City accents like these from the mid-1980s

@barnes_law Antitrust is bullshit and never actually stops monopolies. Microsoft got bigger AFTER they lost their antitrust case.

Mike Davis got rich at the expense of antitrust enforcement & the voters.

At the outset of Donald Trump’s second term, it seemed as though big mergers which might endanger market competitiveness could face stiff resistance. Much has changed since then economist.com/business/2026/…

Crazy to think you can just message any woman instantly on here when back in the day you’d have to cut individual letters from magazines

@markriedel1977 @EthanVanSciver Who cares if it's about their looks. Hollywood is about looks. This isn't England. We shouldn't put ugly people on TV and in movies.
Simping is weird incel behavior, my guy.
English
@AdamSaturdayRPC @EthanVanSciver are culture warriors on Youtube making high minded critiques of what the women said or is it about their looks? ehhh Its just low effort culture rot. They have to always have a "enemy" to drive clicks to their channels. Spaceballs 2: The Search for more money.
English
I WOULD, if I SAW "the behavior."
There is no "behavior" here.

@EthanVanSciver Asked a question? So were Brie and Rachel. But this is DC which, even given how things ended, I'm sure you still feel like you somewhat have to defend it. From where I sit I think people have issue with what you say here when you would criticize the same behavior elsewhere.

@DangerousQuest @fandompulse Oh look. A movie he didn't direct.
English
Quentin Tarantino explains why he does not include nudity or sex scenes in his films:
"Sex isn’t part of my vision of cinema. And the truth is, in real life, shooting sex scenes is a pain—everyone gets really tense. And if it was a bit of a hassle to do before, it’s even more so now. If a sex scene had ever come up that was essential to the story, I would have done it, but so far it hasn’t been necessary."
Is there a need for sex scenes in films and TV?

@JIM_THE_BOSS_ @fandompulse "I'd respect him more if he took all the fun out of his movies and made them boring."
Stay home, Jan.
English
@fandompulse I'd respect him more if he could tell a story without lots of over-the-top violence.
English
@fandompulse There's a quick sex scene in Jackie Brown.

The helicopter chase in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) still feels illegal. Stunt pilot Chuck Tamburro really flew the chopper under a low freeway overpass, skimming the concrete at speed.

Name a scene where a director went ‘God Mode’
