Topic | What's the downside of labor unions? |
TommyG663513 07/31/19 1:59:50 PM #32 | I've been in a union for five years now. I'm a Teamster. Overall and for the vast majority of workers a union is better than not. I mean, my union is very corrupt and I'd easily still pick them over my employer. A corrupt union will never be as corrupt as a corporation. When you work in a union, there is no incentive to work especially hard. I just aim to be mediocre. My wage (and everyone's) is based purely on years worked at the company. Just survive another year to get a raise. Don't bust your ass. Just get the job done. I get full health insurance at no direct cost to me beyond being employed at this company. My union dues are only $40/month. That alone is all you need to know to realize my union dues are extremely worth it. There really is no reason to be against unions beyond ignorance or placing a very high value on corporate profits over worker rights. There are certainly some cons to workers by working in a union, but the pros outweigh that pretty significantly. People complain of lazy workers getting to keep their jobs, but that also means your job is very safe. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 |

So basically anyone whomsays "YAAASSS QUEEN." I'm bisexual and have spent a lot of time in gay bars to know that the majority of the people who go to gay bars tend to be pretty toxic in a wide sense.

Ive gone with my husband and we hit every single ride because we used their fast pass app and easily walked around the park and skipped the lines and all the parents with their screaming kids. Disney gives a select number of fast passes to each guest. I believe when I went I got three fast passes. They only give away so many fast passes per ride per day so you may have to book fast passes days or weeks in advance for the super popular attractions. So you need to be strategic when using them. Basically, don't waste one of your fast passes on a ride that rarely gets above a 20 minute wait. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 |

I think it's weird to dedicate a paragraph to defending people who fly into this mra rage over female characters having politics in a film and then say that these politics are part of the bigger picture anyway and are in no way presented uncritically or held up on a pedestal. No I meant these politics are a part of the bigger picture in why I disliked these characters and the film as a whole. The fact that these traits and beliefs of the main characters is not presented as flawless doesn't fix that for me. I still didn't find them all that likable by the end when growth had occurred. If you thought I was defending mra rage then you're very much misunderstanding me. I'm telling you that you do a disservice by labeling things in such a way instead of listening. I agree with the politics of the film, but I don't like the way they presented it. I found it a bit ham fisted and annoying. That isn't an mra attitude.

Please don't be skeptical of anybody who lets the politics of the main characters put them off the movie. It is a movie. Let people dislike it for whayever reason without giving them some weird judgment. I'm a very left leaning person politically and I'm just sick of seeing politics infect everything. It's like I get it. We habe an awful president and these are weird times. I feel like these movies are just preaching to the choir. We don't all want to participate in the echo chamber. I don't want much in the way of political anything for the movies I watch and that is my right to have a preference as is yours. The main characters being big feminists was just part of the big picture. They lived too within themselves and their weird codependent relationship. They both have this self righteous tone to themselves, but fail to realize how flawed they are for such a long time which is basically another huge flaw in and of itself. They both lack a lot of awareness. They're both building each other up in a way that is just too much. It is great to be very supportive of your friends, but they were on some weird level with it. Just everything in this film is just so over the top. Hey remember when the class President main character shows off her morning ritual? The ome where she listens to some weird voice recording like a prayer or meditation that ends with saying "f the haters." Then there were shots of an Elizabeth Warren pictire and other feminist symbols scattered around along with a bumper sticker displaying themselves as proud nasty women?

Topic | Booksmart was so good wtf |
TommyG663513 07/10/19 4:27:40 AM #12 | I honestly didn't like it at all. The problem is I just didn't find it funny at all and I didn't like any of the characters. Maybe I'm too old at this point (29), but I found many of the characters incredibly immature and saying tgings I can't imagine anyone really saying. It is a very cartoony and exaggerated version of a modern high school. Conversely, I absolutely adored the movie Eighth Grade and think it was a far superior film that made me laugh many times as well as a very wide range of emotions. That movie felt extremely real like it could have just been a real thing that happened. NinjaBreakfast posted... anything with women in starring roles = SJW!!! I mean, both main characters were clearly pretty strongly feminist leaning. To counter this, they're both also depicted as being kind of uptight and lame. The entire movie is about them learning to loosen up a bit, but the movie lost me very early on. I found the girls way too annoying from the get go and didn't find their growth to be satisfying enough. There was that one scene where they talked about the skater girl having a non conforming gender distinction, but that doesn't mean she must be a lesbian as well. It felt like a weird lecture. The movie doesnt exactly slap you in the face with it, but it clearly appeals much more to the very left leaning demographic. It is definitely a movie that checks a lot of those boxes. Another thing I didn't like was how long it took them to finally get to the party and all the convoluted BS that kept them from getting there for so long. It just seemed so artificial or these two girls really were that dumb. The movie picked up a bit at the party, but that was so late in the film so basically too little too late. I also wish the movie would have deviated a bit more from SuperBad. The whole plot is a day of high school then trying to get to a party amd pretend you're cool. I will admit that SuperBad came out my senior year of high school so that may be a big reason why I was able to connect with it more. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 |

TommyG663513 07/10/19 4:10:20 AM #6 | As a bisexual male, I mostly agree. Opinions on this are a bit more varied and nuanced than you've stated, but you got the gist down. Honestly, I tend to less accepted among gay people than straight people. Gay people tend to be more concerned with labels and distinctions. Straight people tend to assume everyone is straight and don't act differently. I would just try to date men or women and not reveal my sexuality till we got mildly serious. People on either side tend to assume either hetero or homo among people they are dating. I have to admit, as a bisexual person I almost asdume or look for clues that someone else is bisexual.
