Jupiter Ascending is, in my opinion, a masterpiece. Bees can sense royalty? Fantastic. The bureaucracy android having to bribe his way through the system he was literally created to navigate? Marvelous. Don't even get me started on the air roller skates. Eddie Redmayne's four million year old teenager was perfection too. Two volume levels: harsh whisper or screaming.

It was marketed as some kind of amazing epic, so people approached it wrong I think. It was a Wachowski film. What were they expecting? I went in there assuming it'd be like their Speed Racer movie, but in space. I was not disappointed.

Second vote would be for Speed Racer, lol.

I choose you, Dummythiccachu!!

Yeah. Like, maybe I'm misinterpreting the ruling, but it sure seems like the mod thought the meme was sexist. For the life of me I just cannot understand that perspective. I was trying to explain my feelings towards the trope in a way that I hoped relatable or understandable to the common person. That's what memes are for, lol.

In the original R&M scene Rick is literally the villain. He abuses his power of creation to make a machine seemingly capable of independent thought and feelings, and then condemns it to a menial existence. The humor is derived from empathizing with the poor little guy. That feels like a perfect metaphor for the refrigerator trope to me.

I could have instead posted a purely academic analysis of the trope, but that's not exactly a meme is it?

When I first navigated to the community it said 0 posts, but when I refreshed they showed up. It still said 0, but I could see them. Leaving and coming back fixed it though. I don't know if that's on Lemmy's side or the app I'm using (Boost).

Batman:

If you sexist a sexist then the number of sexists remains the same.

I've succeeded not being sexist 👍

The Modlog says

lemmy.ml rules 1 and 2 (i think you intend to be criticising this trope, but you're also using it as a punchline)

Rules 1 and 2 are

Rule 1: No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.

Rule 2: Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.

I made a Rick and Morty butter robot meme. Rick was representing "Authors and Writers" while the robot represented "Strong Female Characters". Rick told the robot to "get in the refrigerator" in reference to the Women in Refrigerators trope.

You could maybe argue that the meme is an example of the trope, but you'd have to be bad at memes or arguing.

I think if you find all the gnomes is when it gives you gold.

Neat, I'll be checking this out!

They’re similar to the phrase “delay, deny, defend” — the way some attorneys describe how insurers deny services and payment

I believe they were talking about this part of the article.

May I present an alternate theory

Lol, I love the inclusion of cheat codes like they're as big of a concern as malware. Won't someone think of the children?! I found my son playing GTA5 with bighead mode on sobs uncontrollably*.

This whole thing sounds like the "drugs in Halloween candy" scare, but this seems to actually be real. Neat.

P.S. I don't know if GTA5 actually has bighead mode.

This song aggressively reminds me of the mix of anxiety and excitement I had before moving out on my own for the first time. I came from a small town, and moved to the "big city" in my province. I had never moved anywhere before, let alone without my parents. That was 15 years ago now, but this takes me right back. It's also a banger (in my opinion).

Same! It's usually my right eye, and if I close it it helps. Doesn't stop entirely, but dampens it quite a bit.

Appears to be real (note, this is an X link).

Nooooooooooo, don't give me a reason to want to go to GP 😭

But not every language has the double meanings of right and left.

Probably a typo of "said maybe"

"Blaster Master?" takes long drag on cigarette "I haven't heard that name game in years."

Man, I remember playing the OG on NES. Didn't know they remade it... And made it all anime lookin'? Neat. If you'll excuse me, I must go and tidy my crypt now.

I recently picked up the Castlevania Anniversary Collection. For all the Metroidvanias I've played as an adult, I never really got too into them as a kid. Gotta make up for that at some point, lol. Symphony of the Night isn't on there, but I don't want to start mid storyline (I'm kidding). My biggest fear is playing Castlevania will just make me more impatient for the next season of Castlevania Nocturne.
