It's a shame that All Lives Matter was coined in direct response to Black Lives Matter, and was directly levelled against black protestors who were upset at black people getting killed in the street from day one. As a direct way of undermining the point of their cause.

All lives do matter, but as a rebuttal to a group of people asserting the basic human importance of their life in the face of dehumanization and state-sanctioned violence and execution against them in the streets? All Lives Matter is a racist shitpost with no basis in good faith.

It's reducing thanks to measures like lockdowns, social distancing and widespread mask usage. Vaccines then make it much, much less likely to contract the virus, which will hopefully be the nail in the coffin for the virus.

It's not disappearing of its own volition, and anyone who uses this Daily Mail article to try and argue that is a fucking mouthbreather.

They should have just devoted the whole movie to Venom. No one was asking for Sandman, and there was nothing interesting about another Green Goblin. Harry's whole motivation was contrived to begin with.

And yet the Sandman plotline was arguably the best part of the movie. Having him be Uncle Ben's killer, and to have Peter's anguish over this being amplified by the Symbiote, was an engaging plotline. And while I agree that the ongoing Harry Osborne storyline is hit and miss, having Harry and Peter's situation boil over due to the Symbiote was a pretty engaging direction too. Peter maiming Harry and blinding him in one eye was an unexpected twist, and Harry coming to Peter's aid and his subsequent death at the end of the movie added to the theme of forgiveness.

The weakest part of this movie was Venom himself, and I maintain that if they made a Spider-Man 4 with Tobey McGuire where it's him vs Eddie Brock as Venom, it would have been a better solution than cramming Venom in at the end. Venom actually gets the screentime and development he deserves, and Spider-Man 3 is slightly more coherent than it ended up being. Not to mention, saving Venom for a potential fourth movie adds an engaging sequel hook to tide hardcore Spidey fans over.

You would have gotten that Tobey McGuire Venom movie you want if they had shown just a little bit of restraint in this movie and kept Venom as a sequel hook. The Sandman was fine, the Symbiote was fine, and while the Green Goblin stuff was hit and miss I thought it wrapped up neatly enough by the end. The weakest link in this movie was Venom, and they could have mitigated some of the damage they did with this movie if they kept him for a potential Spider-Man 4.

Waiting in the Summer. It was one of the last anime shows I saw before I decided to give it up.

My main thing used to be Slice of Life shows - Kimi Ni Todoke, Ano Hana, Golden Time etc. I liked shows that were centred on relatively grounded casts living in the real world - the only real disappointment in this aspect was Your Lie in April, which felt like its emotional gut punches were cheap and manipulative.

And over time I had come to really dislike fanservice shows, because it's like if you want to watch something to get off to, just go and look at porn y'know - gratuitous booby shots and upskirts and whatever are lame as fuck and detract from the show as a whole. I don't think I've seen a fanservice-driven show that I haven't hated.

The first episode of Waiting in the Summer ended like a cheap fanservice show, with the main character being fawned over by a girl in a towel - his head in her lap and her boobs on his face, which his entire family walks in on. It looked really trashy, and I didn't expect it to come back from that.

And yet somehow, it did.

It was a weak 7/10 at the time with a solid ending, but it passed muster and I genuinely really enjoyed it by the time it finished. Even after one of the characters had a storyline about being a nudist, the show didn't linger on skeezy porn shots and it had a solid emotional core to it. The fact that I remember it among the ranks of Ano Hana and all that says something about it imo, even though I would recommend it as an alright show of that nature but not over any of the other shows I mentioned.

Venom deserved to be in the movie; he was the villain fans wanted most. Raimi is just a trash director. And 6/10? Shit was 4 at best lol

I'd love to agree with you, but in a post-BvS world, Spider-Man 3 looks a lot better in hindsight. Less than a quarter of this movie is out-and-out bad, with Topher Grace's Venom standing out as either the worst or the second worst part of the movie due to lack of development.

I don't have it in my heart to bash Spider-Man 3 after Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad had the audacity to exist in the state they were in. The corny Raimi-esque dancing, the emo hair and Topher Grace's Venom is one thing - at the end of the day, the movie still has entertaining subplots like with James Franco's character and the Sandman stuff which plays into the Symbiote plot. It still feels like a watchable movie for a majority of its runtime, even with its caveats - with a bit of trimming, and by setting up Venom for a fourth movie instead of squirting him all over the screen at the end, it might have been fine at the time.

I genuinely enjoy Spider-Man 3 as both a comic book movie and as a movie in general - even though I don't even like it as much as the first Spider-Man movie. Its central conflict isn't predicated on the flimsiest possible basis, and it doesn't feel like a 4 hour snoozefest like BvS does despite being the same length as BvS. It's a 6/10 movie at worst.

Spider Man 3 is like a 6/10 movie at worst, cringe and all. It was hamstrung by studio mandate.

If they kept Venom for a fourth movie, the third movie might have been the best. Seriously, if they kept the symbiote but kept Venom himself for another movie, the movie would have focused on Peter Parker's heightened emotions, his relationship with James Franco and a theme of forgiveness and moving on.

Those are very different from the examples that I gave and you keep trying to pigeonhole them into those two categories.

There is a big difference between a history professor who refers to the 9/11 hijackers as terrorists

AND

A white redneck type who keeps repeating the word terrorist with a lot of anger and implies he would do something violent if left alone in a room with one of these terrorists

It is a very different way of using the word terrorist.

Is the argument that since "terrorist" was a conservative buzzword to justify racial and cultural profiling post-9/11, it's unusual to see it being used in such a fervour by liberal-types only 20 years after 9/11? Is there an attempt to "gotcha" liberals over the use of the word "terrorist"?

Because A) 9/11 was 20 years ago now, and people have put work into separating the term "terrorist" from the term "Muslim" since then, and B) the riot at Capitol Hill was an instance of domestic terrorism, making the people who perpetuated that violence terrorists.

Further question: is the consternation over the current use of "terrorist" rooted in the fear that people who fit the profile of the Capitol Hill insurrectionists will be targeted the same way Muslims were post-9/11?

There have always been stuck-up bitches in music circles acting like new/different music personally fucked them in the butt and killed their children. Rock vs Disco is one of the most famous examples of this, "mass-produced dance music for brain-dead morons to dance to like zombies" vs "excellent riffs and lyrics that tackle unjust social norms for the revolutionaries". Nevermind the rock music that was total trash and the disco music that was pretty good, and the subtext of disco/dance/funk music stemming from black musicians and being popular with non-straight, non-white crowds. Rock fans also picked on grunge, hair metal and metalcore as weaker substitutions for rock music as their own "pure" genre slowly slid further into the shitter.

The problem with some fart-brained boomer shitting on modern music they don't like is that there is music they'd probably like if they looked for it. They just don't, either because they expect it to be served to them on a silver plate or because they find the prospect of milking this year's Lil Xan for jokes a more appealing process. There's a real sense of entitlement and narcissism to people who take a position of "this music is indicative of society's decline!" - it's annoying, and the people who engage with that are fucking morons. Old heads are fucking cringe when it comes to modern music for the most part.

This came out a week ago and I think it fucks. Boomer music fans can either seek shit like this out, or they can get laughed down for doing yet another mumble rap takedown by comparing Lil Xan to Pink Floyd or whatever the fuck.

When I was 13, I couldn't see myself past the age of 18. I was convinced I didn't have a life, that I had no worth, and that at some point I would cease to exist. I felt the same way every year afterwards - even up to age 17. Once I was done with school, I had no obligations. No role to play. I saw no worthwhile future with me in it. And I lived anyway, because there was no way to stop. I kept living for the sole fact that there would be a day where I would cease to exist.

I've made some nice memories since, and I've met people that make me glad I'm alive. But these feelings have returned recently. I don't see a future with me in it. I see a future with everyone else, where they're thriving and getting on - but I don't see myself.

There's no question that it exists. I stopped drinking cold turkey last year because I damaged my liver and I didn't want to kill myself on alcohol. If I didn't want to live any more, all I would have done is drank more and more to exacerbate my symptoms until my death was assured. I stopped drinking because I enjoy living, and that hasn't changed.

But I don't see a future with me in it. I know it exists, but I don't see it. And it's a bad feeling.

I'm on top of some things rn, but I'm dealing with a lot of stress and hopelessness. Not drinking has helped me tackle some personal issues with a clear head, but it means I feel everything that much more. Depression and anxiety hit harder. It's harder to cope with mood dips that come out of nowhere. And despite this relative high point of my life at the moment, where I'm handling a situation that has crushed me multiple times in the past with grace and maturity, I'm facing down a future where I don't see myself. The future exists, just without me in it.

And I know I'll be a part of the future despite how I feel right now. I know the future will have me in it. I know I'll be a part of people's lives for years to come, because I'll keep on living until I stop through no fault of my own. And unless I get floored by an unexpected coronary or brain aneurysm or some sort of unexpected health disaster, or some other twist of fate outside of my control, I'm not going to stop living. I have no desire to stop.

And one day, I'll look back on this moment and think about how much longer I lived than I thought. I have no doubt. But that doesn't help me now. The knowledge that I have a place in the future, that I have a future, exists alongside a vision for the future that I'm not a part of. It's extremely alienating.

Quick disclaimer to the mods, in case it didn't come across in the post - I'm not suicidal, and in no way is this topic meant to be construed as a suicide note. I have the desire and the personal capacity to live, and I'm not suggesting that I'm intending to change that - and I don't condone that sort of mindset or action in anyone else. Please don't panic and close my account, I'm going through some shit for real but I've made it as clear as I can that I'm not planning to end my own life. In short, plz no mod

if you asked me, do you think a teenager in the center of the most high profile case in the US right now is

A) on the run

B) changing address to hide from media/people

Its B everytime.

If Kyle Rittenhouse was committed to having his day in court and letting the justice system run its course, you'd think he would have left his new details with someone like his attorney when he's needed in court - someone secure, who's on his side. That way, he can avoid any media attention and potential retaliation and all that, and still co-operate with the legal process.

However, no-one knows where he is. He's vanished. And if I were giving him the benefit of the doubt, it would still be undeniable that it looks like he's fled sentencing. For someone who claims to be a cop, it's pretty disgusting that you seem to be excusing that with "he's just trying to look out for himself".

But then again, I am speaking to the guy who responded to troll comments about not being married by posting a picture of his sleeping wife. So if anything, it's my fault for expecting rationality and good sense.

Where would he possibly go/make it too without being caught within the hour lol.

That's the question DP - which drain pipe did this rat crawl up? And that's where the problem lies, because no-one can find him at the moment. He could be anywhere, given that there are people willing to transport and hide him.

I'm thinking of playing 13 and 13-2 in the lead up to LR. But I dunno, because I think 13 is a fundamentally broken game, independent of the constraints adding to the narrative or whatever the fuck.

I don't mind FF13 as a $10 game, but over time I've come to regard it as a game with a cracked foundation. The corridors are one thing, but the level limiting is another - restricting level by story chapter is obscene, especially on the few chapters where grinding is even possible in the first place. Sazh's chapter in particular pisses me off, because that boss is a huge pain in the ass and you couldn't improve your chances of winning if you tried. It's like hitting your head against the wall.

I don't mind Lightning - I've heard someone legitimately say that the game would have been better if she died halfway through and nobody mentioned it because she'd been such a bitch to them. I also think Hope's arc isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I'm an apologist for the characters in that they all learn their lesson, but people hold their worst actions against them despite atoning for them over the course of the story with the characters they antagonized.

But I can't let the levelling go. I don't care if restricting everything adds to the oppressive atmosphere of the cast of doomed exiles, it's a flawed gameplay mechanic that makes the game a real fucking pain in the ass without a guide to tell you what combinations you need to be hitting to beat the story bosses that keep wiping the fucking floor with you because you can't level up past a certain point, once every chapter.

Vulnerability is a two-way street. You can provide it, but the other person might not be in a position where they can accept or process that vulnerability from you. They may not feel comfortable being vulnerable with you, which makes vulnerability FROM you hard to handle in large swaths. Or they can accept a certain amount of vulnerability, but there's a point where it begins to be too much and they can't cope with it.

I'm in the process of being more vulnerable with my friends as well. I'm finding that there are friends who've gotten me through the worst of times through the act of just being there, who I simply can't open up to despite all they've done for me. I just don't feel safe being vulnerable with them through no fault of their own. I also have friends who I feel secure and safe around, who I would like to be vulnerable with, who I've known for half as long as that other person. And I recently opened a can of worms in regards to a certain friend that I won't go into, which needs a lot of personal work to get through but in whose company I still feel secure. Different people have different thresholds for giving or receiving that sort of information, regardless of how long you've known them or how much you like each other.

There might be people who can take everything you throw at them, but despite how much you get along and like each other, there tends to be a personal threshold about how much of other people's baggage they can hold. You aren't wrong to turn to your friends for help, but as good as it felt and as secure as you might have felt in their company, there's still a level of restraint and consideration to consider when sharing information with others. The best thing you can do is apologize for oversharing and give them as much space as they need, and hope in time that whatever rift emerged here will be closed.

That's what I think anyway, could be wrong but that's my insight. Above all, don't blame yourself - you were seeking help with someone who agreed to hear you out, and it was a bit much for them to help with. That's okay.

I have some stories about oversharing if you want to hear them. One of them's pretty funny, and the other one - while well intentioned - is pretty fucked up. I won't post them in this post, but if you're interested, just ask and I'll post them.

I went back over the tweet and realised I fucked up, he's just pointing out the influence and he's pushing for people to make their own designs which is cool. I got off on the wrong foot entirely, when I thought this was about the state flag.

Flag stuff is a neat little hobby of mine, and I got worked up over it. I totally missed the point and I apologize.

The funniest thing is that after realising where I went wrong, I agree with this post:

Strongly disagree.

The colors go back to New Yorks Dutch heritage.

The Colors might seems awkward to some, but no do not change or forget where New York came from.

It's a good flag, and I like it. My argument stemmed from the belief that there was an effort to bring more of that Dutch influence into the flag, which was dumb. While I don't think Dutch heritage is all that important to the conversation, the flag does look good and I don't see a reason to change it. It's its own unique signifier of the people of New York, the seal is badass and it's perfectly fine.

Let people design their own flags and stuff because it'll be fun, but ultimately I don't want to see this flag getting replaced.

New York City doesn't belong to the Dutch. It's often referred to as a great melting pot. Moreover, NYC is known for having a sizable Italian-American population, moreso than any Dutch influence. The current flag reminds me a bit of the Italian tricolour, mixed with the Dutch influences Yang pointed out.

The current flag does pay homage to the city's Dutch roots, but it stands on its own as a fine flag that represents the entire city and its citizens. To change it to be more Dutch, as a means of "honouring the city's roots", is pointless imo.

In a time where "heritage" is being thrown around as a way to "return" to some lofty mythological beginning for a subset of people who believe in some sort of societal decay, I don't see this appeal as one made in good faith and I see no reason to change a flag with an excellent design on its own.

I got interested in flags a year or two ago with my discovery of the vexillology subreddit. The thing about vexillology is that there's a series of guidelines as to what makes a "good" flag - the genuine belief is that there is a right way to make a memorable and meaningful flag, but as a series of guidelines rather than as a set of rules, no-one is truly beholden to the tenets of vexillology.

I don't mind the tricolor on the left - personally, I like having seals and other cool stuff on flags. I like the Welsh dragon and the Vatican keys. If New York were to change its flag, I would hope that they keep some sense of originality - the current flag is pretty rough, even as someone who likes interesting flags with busy designs, but I would hate to see it go for the sake of a boring-ass tricolor. I think the left flag is the Dutch naval flag or whatever and they're suggesting the flag on the right, and without a feature like that seal, I'm pretty vehemently against it.

I'm not sure what I would suggest as a solution, outside of retaining a badass seal in the middle of the flag. I like the dark blue of the current flag, and I think the mango and teal flag Yang is suggesting sucks. I would recommend going with symbolic colours like copper/mint green to represent the statue of liberty, dark blue to go with the waters around the state, maybe even a starry pattern to represent the city that never sleeps. And honestly, add a seal or a picture of the statue or whatever. I'm so fucking sick of these anemic, bland-ass design choices that homogenise every aspect of art around us - give people something to chew on, give them a symbol to put their faith in.

As messy as the current flag is, if they replace it with the fuckin horizontal pattern Yang has put forward, I'm gonna be sad.
