I learned back in highschool through my many attempts at doing so, that you cannot convince a stupid person that they’re stupid. Only smart people can know they’re stupid, which means I’m smart, because I realize I’m a god damn moron, but that also means I can’t be smart…
Circular logic?
And weirdly that statement despite being VERY true also touches on a myth once believed to be legit, but has since been debunked as pseudoscience, that the Y Chromosome was the “True source of human evil”, sadly this was a thing, and it was believed that people with more than one Y chromosome were “Especially dangerous”
This was also around the time they drilled holes in people’s heads to cure epilepsy, and was based on “It sure is wacky that most people we put in prison are dudes. Obviously maleness in and of itself is tied to evil.”, which itself was based on someone doing a bunch of self-prescribed opium while reading a newspaper.
I really wish the “Maleness = Evilness” trope was dead, but it’s sadly still around and being used to justify transphobia
I’m still amazed that Toxic DBD Players tend to be Survivor Mains. Just saying, you’d think toxic people would be naturally drawn to playing a role that is meant to achieve happiness at the misfortune of others.
Die Mart is tempting, I am ready to leave the mortal coil and see what awaits me on the other side
He’s referring to the fact that his wife was allowed to leave him alive.
Holy shit, Horseshoe Theory IS real
An economy where we all sit in a hoemless shelther watching the five rich guys sell the same five products to each other again and again
Remember in that Dethklok show that I can’t spell when people went to the live performance of a band that had a less than 10% survival rate for their audience, on a frozen mountain top, to hear a fucking coffee jingle?
We’re not far removed from that, people will be lining up to buy fucking tickets for a high budget McRib ad come this Novmeber.
Humans are brainwashed into thinking it’s “Human nature” to be greedy and self-centered, so when someone comes offering help those stuck in this condition can’t help but think “What’s the catch?”
And the clearer it is that the person has good intent, the more dangerous the catch must be.
“No you guys, North Korea is actually a utopia!” - Hexbear probably
The reason is racism
Indeed, it’s like “You think you’re owning the libs? Mother fucker my very existence complicates their plans.”
At this point I just want Blizzard to be forgotten
Indeed.
Sean Connery’s agent had scored him the roles of Gandalf for Lord of the Rings and Morpheus in The Matrix, but turned them down due to feeling the plot was too complicated for audiences to follow. After both of these became money-printing machines, he picked League of Extraordinary Gentlemen despite still having problems with the script believing it would be as big as the other two films and that he wasn’t going to miss out on a solid payday three times in a row…
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen would go on to be a box office bomb, and Sean Connery felt he was too “out of touch” with modern audiences to be an actor.
There is good news though, if you want more from the franchise you’re in luck. As the movie itself was based off of a comic book which has pretty much the same plot.
The only difference is the movie added “Tom Sawyer” to the group, he isn’t in the comic book and had been requested by executives so that there was a token American in the group, fearing audiences wouldn’t be able to relate without a member from the good ol’ US of A.
Tell the lie often enough…

That’s why they want to end internet privacy. Aint nobody gonna be posting their support for the based Gigachad we call Luigi if they lock you up just for typing the words
Elon Musk hates Americans, pass it on.
Matrix 2 and 3 were films that always got a bad rep, but were alright if you sat down and watched them.
Matrix 4 is… best left forgotten, and I say that as someone who likes Indy 4
Star Trek: The Motion Picture, aka “The film where nothing happens”
Yes, that’s the one, unfortunately it kept being flagged as misspelled. In retrospect, portmanteaus are probably not considered real words by spellcheckers.
