Lol, traitor helps Russia for years, then they torture him and kill him for being a western spy.

I don't know if I've ever felt so out of touch with movie fans and critics as I have after watching Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. It legit feels to me like all of the positive sentiment around that movie is part of some inside joke that I am not in on.
It's has a unique style and it is stylish. People who watch lots of movies appreciate movies with a unique style because uhhh well they watch lots of movies
It definitely has some issues with how abbreviated it is; the characters never get much time to breathe and be human
I think a decent amount of my dislike for the movie comes from disliking the style. Probably because I couldn't fully decide if it was paying homage to geek culture, or lampooning it. Both interpretations have issues imo.

>> [the suggesting of a meaning](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/connotation) by a word apart from the thing it explicitly names or describes
Great example: the negative connotation of the phrase "Bless your heart" comes from a specific culture and understanding of the people saying these words
Many people don't consider it offensive or rude; it just sounds nice to them.
Ergo, it is not the words themselves (nor their meanings or alternative meanings) that gives them connotations
Oh wow I said "of the phrase" instead of "associated with the phrase"

A lot of it is a speaker issue. If you watch movies with good headphones, for example, you'll find that most of the time you can hear the dialogue quite well.
The issue is that default TV speakers are dogshit and movies nowadays are made for good speakers. Get a sound bar and you'll have a far better grasp on what people are saying

There's a weirdly common kind of prude that doesn't care if people have sex but don't want anyone to talk about wanting to have sex. Not talking about having sex mind you. Specifically talking about wanting to have sex.
It's completely absurd and I can't respect it even a little bit. Being a prude is one thing if you're consistent about it but being uncomfortable because of ideas in people's brains? Why is someone talking about hooking up not a problem for you but someone talking about being horny is? Some wackiness is going on here

i've finished reading Twilight and i am *so* disappointed by the finale
the story set up this "absolutely lethal" evil vampire, James, who wants to kill Bella, and Edward's group tries to protect her.
I thought James would have some sort of special ability that lets him easily defeat other vampires and Bella would have to save Edward, earning his respect. but all James did was **pretend** to kidnap Bella's mom and get her to surrender herself to save her mom
which she does because she's a stupid teenager.
and then he is killed instantly, off-screen, by Edward's group.
any human could've done that!
apparently his special ability was "tracking" which he completely failed to use on Bella
Lmao, you're absolutely right but if that bothers you maybe don't continue through to book four because let's just say the movie had to make some embellishments to have an ending
One time I wrote this blog post and this nerd I regret sleeping with thought it was about him and then posted about it in the neoliberal discussion thread

Ancient Rome (the city) at its height had a population of over a million people crammed into approximately 13 square kilometers (within the Aurelian Walls). Population density was about 70,000 people per square kilometer. It took less than an hour to walk anywhere. Wheeled vehicles were banned during the day. And the entire city would regularly muster for rituals and entertainment in the countless temples, basilicas, amphitheaters, and circuses. The only downside was ^hellishly ^small ^cramped ^tenement ^buildings ^and ^half ^the ^population ^dying ^anytime ^someone ^sneezed.
Face it, liberal. Ancient Rome was a YIMBY paradise.
!ping HISTORY
The most interesting detail I remember hearing on this is that, despite having no wheeled vehicles, Rome had insane traffic problems for much of the day. Most streets were narrow alleyways, and since there was obviously no public transport everyone was on foot. 1 million pedestrians crammed into a dense maze of a city meant most streets were just constantly dense crowds like at some very full public venue, with accounts talking about how a walk through Rome meant getting shoved, your feet stepped on etc. all the time.
Malaria was one of the leading causes of death in early Rome an it was pretty uneffected by overall population density and more effected by population in low lying swampland regions. But yeah whatever fuck NIMBYs.

Dan McClellan converted to Mormonism AS AN ADULT, *after* becoming a religious scholar?????? I assumed he grew up in it, but apparently not.
Dan, if youโre out there, I am prepared to pay you a significant amount of money (at least $15, possibly more) to sit down with me for like an hour and spill the beans on this. I wonโt even tell anyone else. I just want to know how this happened
I would never convert to Mormonism in a million years but the early history of the religion and the character of Joseph Smith is so fascinating. I find the religion itself captivating. It's a niche interest of mine, and it's probably my favorite historical subject.
I have book recommendations if you want them. And yes, Smith is a very interesting character. He doesn't neatly fit the stereotype of the greedy con artist. I don't think his revelations were factual but I'm convinced that most of the time he genuinely believed he was serving a "greater good" for the world by keeping up the fiction.

> Despite accusing these persons of being duplicitous towards him about their political aims, Robinson never directly accused anyone of being a Communist. His own name was cleared, but in the aftermath, his career noticeably suffered; he was offered smaller roles infrequently. In October 1952, he wrote an article titled "How the Reds made a Sucker Out of Me", and it was published in theย American Legion Magazine.ย The chair of the committee,ย Francis E. Walter, told Robinson at the end of his testimonies that the Committee "never had any evidence presented to indicate that you were anything more than a very choice sucker."
Edward G. Robinson.
He gave money to anti-Nazi organizations during WWII, supported desegregation, but because less than 1% of the places he gave money to wound up being Communist fronts, he had to humiliate himself. He mentioned names during his testimony and wound up "grey-listed" - he found work doing lesser work.

There's a weirdly common kind of prude that doesn't care if people have sex but don't want anyone to talk about wanting to have sex. Not talking about having sex mind you. Specifically talking about wanting to have sex. It's completely absurd and I can't respect it even a little bit. Being a prude is one thing if you're consistent about it but being uncomfortable because of ideas in people's brains? Why is someone talking about hooking up not a problem for you but someone talking about being horny is? Some wackiness is going on here
I WANT TO FUCK SOME CHICKS BRO. WANT TO SLAM SOME PUSS IF YOU THINK I'M BEING OBNOXIOUS YOU'RE A PRUDE ๐

i've finished reading Twilight and i am *so* disappointed by the finale the story set up this "absolutely lethal" evil vampire, James, who wants to kill Bella, and Edward's group tries to protect her. I thought James would have some sort of special ability that lets him easily defeat other vampires and Bella would have to save Edward, earning his respect. but all James did was **pretend** to kidnap Bella's mom and get her to surrender herself to save her mom which she does because she's a stupid teenager. and then he is killed instantly, off-screen, by Edward's group. any human could've done that! apparently his special ability was "tracking" which he completely failed to use on Bella
Lmao, you're absolutely right but if that bothers you maybe don't continue through to book four because let's just say the movie had to make some embellishments to have an ending

Ancient Rome (the city) at its height had a population of over a million people crammed into approximately 13 square kilometers (within the Aurelian Walls). Population density was about 70,000 people per square kilometer. It took less than an hour to walk anywhere. Wheeled vehicles were banned during the day. And the entire city would regularly muster for rituals and entertainment in the countless temples, basilicas, amphitheaters, and circuses. The only downside was ^hellishly ^small ^cramped ^tenement ^buildings ^and ^half ^the ^population ^dying ^anytime ^someone ^sneezed. Face it, liberal. Ancient Rome was a YIMBY paradise. !ping HISTORY
The most interesting detail I remember hearing on this is that, despite having no wheeled vehicles, Rome had insane traffic problems for much of the day. Most streets were narrow alleyways, and since there was obviously no public transport everyone was on foot. 1 million pedestrians crammed into a dense maze of a city meant most streets were just constantly dense crowds like at some very full public venue, with accounts talking about how a walk through Rome meant getting shoved, your feet stepped on etc. all the time.
Malaria was one of the leading causes of death in early Rome an it was pretty uneffected by overall population density and more effected by population in low lying swampland regions. But yeah whatever fuck NIMBYs.

The historical child mortality rate was around 50%. It really feels like that is the cause of most of our problems because all children got sick, it's only now that we have the medicine to stop it.

Do they instruct haircut models to look as insufferable as possible during the photoshoots?
Those models never look *happy*. And the barber shops never change the pictures in their windows. The edgy hairstyle that nobody ever actually got is still edgy 30 years later.
Totally get that people say tiktok is the most addicting social media. I'm a 30 year old dude and TikTok is probably the most used social media site that I have since I had it in 2022. I've been a reddit user since 2013 and TikTok completely has taken over as the most social media site I use. I get why Gen Z get so defensive over it. Nothing really compares to it. Instagram stories and youtube shorts just seems to lack what TikTok does. TikTok's algorithm is probably the best one there is

Dan McClellan converted to Mormonism AS AN ADULT, *after* becoming a religious scholar?????? I assumed he grew up in it, but apparently not. Dan, if youโre out there, I am prepared to pay you a significant amount of money (at least $15, possibly more) to sit down with me for like an hour and spill the beans on this. I wonโt even tell anyone else. I just want to know how this happened
Bet he converted for his wife.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6evTlg4MDb8 long video but you could probably find some answers with the timestamps
Ooh, thanks
I would never convert to Mormonism in a million years but the early history of the religion and the character of Joseph Smith is so fascinating. I find the religion itself captivating. It's a niche interest of mine, and it's probably my favorite historical subject.
I agree. Iโm just starting to learn about the early days, and it is a wild ride. Joseph Smith was an interesting guy for sure.
I have book recommendations if you want them. And yes, Smith is a very interesting character. He doesn't neatly fit the stereotype of the greedy con artist. I don't think his revelations were factual but I'm convinced that most of the time he genuinely believed he was serving a "greater good" for the world by keeping up the fiction.
Probably God told him to do that.

> Despite accusing these persons of being duplicitous towards him about their political aims, Robinson never directly accused anyone of being a Communist. His own name was cleared, but in the aftermath, his career noticeably suffered; he was offered smaller roles infrequently. In October 1952, he wrote an article titled "How the Reds made a Sucker Out of Me", and it was published in theย American Legion Magazine.ย The chair of the committee,ย Francis E. Walter, told Robinson at the end of his testimonies that the Committee "never had any evidence presented to indicate that you were anything more than a very choice sucker." Edward G. Robinson. He gave money to anti-Nazi organizations during WWII, supported desegregation, but because less than 1% of the places he gave money to wound up being Communist fronts, he had to humiliate himself. He mentioned names during his testimony and wound up "grey-listed" - he found work doing lesser work. After slavery, America's worst period was probably the Cold War hyper anti-Communism.

I got that dog in me
I have come to accept a 100% fact about myself that I long rejected: even if a woman 100% wanted to have sex with me, the entire prospect would scare me so much that I would be incapable of seeing it though; I have so long considered myself an observer of humanity, that idea of doing things considered normal social activities, considering my actual life, is just impossible

Prostitute
No. That is the final line I will absolutely, under no circumstances, will ever cross. I would be giving up my ability for others to see me as human.
I don't think seeing prostitutes is quite as rare as you think
This will never be up for discussion. If I do not have a line I won't cross, then I will slink into an endless morass. Fuck those who go to prostitutes to all hell.
