- Comment on How can I prove myself that my brain isn't just creating images so I can experience life? 9 months ago:
Oh this is easy to prove. See life is disapointing. If it were all made up by my brain I’d have all the sex and never be rejected and the bank account would have a lot more zeros in it printed in black.
Also I have no impuse control, theres not a reality where my brain would invent pizza and not let me eat it 24/7.

- Comment on The Beekeeper Trailer #1 (2024) 1 year ago:
Another male power fantasy where one man solves all the worlds problems using only violence and everyone around him is amazed.
Oh! And its ok when he does it because he was trained by a super cool secret agent program you guys don’t know about they’re in another school.
- Comment on [Potential Spoilers] Question regarding romance mechanics… 1 year ago:
So from what I’ve experianced - everyone wants to bang.
I initially kept Sam Coe around because he’s handy with a gun and I was waiting to meet Andreja. But I swear the entire time he was giving me the fuck me eyes and I’m like no dude thats not cool lets just be friends and then I go to Barret later and he’s like “Oh I’m so lonely” and I’m like then start a dating profile I am not an option and then Sarahs like “Hey BTW I’m single but I have these issues” and I’m like NON OF THIS IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE WORK PLACE.

- Comment on I saw Oppenheimer, it wasn't what I expected 1 year ago:
Thank you for your comment it was thought provoking.
I definitly agree with “The film also showed that Oppenheimer himself was naive, thinking that “better I do this than evil men” assumes you can control what you build after you build it. The politics was the battle for control of the bomb, and the realisation that he lost that control as soon as it was complete.”
But as for how I personally view the event… I went to see a movie and in how I personally view a movie it failed to justify its length and its non-linear presentation.
If I consider the event, I view it as a fixed point in time, something done that cannot be undone and arguing for or against it is tangential. There are lessons to be learned, like what you have pointed out that I agree make a compelling case study. But if that was the takeaway from Oppenheimer, then you just did a better job of telling it than the movie. Short, succinct, to the point.
I did not need Florence Pugh to be riding his dick at a commitee hearing to get that the hearings were uncomfortable, y’know?
- Comment on I saw Oppenheimer, it wasn't what I expected 1 year ago:
I… didn’t enjoy this one. Two white dudes fussing over their reputation across three hours of meetings. In a non-linear style.
The biggest issue I have with it is myself. I wanted a story about problem solving, in this case building, testing and deploying the first nuclear weapon before the nazis and I didn’t get it.
I know I should review a film for what it is trying to be and not what I want it to be but I just couldn’t with Oppenheimer. It felt like it was trying too hard to subvert expectations and keep me engaged with a lame duck parlor trick, and it could have been so much better.
No issues with the acting, cinematography though.
