This kinda news doesn't feel any better to hear now than it did when I was a child. The people who can do something about it don't care. We mourn our lost future. The cycle continues.

It's insane to me that the competition can't compete with the blueprint. I was really hoping that the deck would cause better products to follow, not worse.

Doesn't the story portray Paul Atreidies' messianic rise as a bad, albeit opportunistic move? I only watched the new films, but it did not feel like we were supposed to think it was a good thing.

There's a lot to be learned at sea, lad.

Are you a bot?

The Tate boys. Or, dudes who peaked in highschool.

I'm pretty sure the downvotes are just men who don't know any better (or less likely, users who passively despise tiktok). It wasn't inflammatory or offensive, and it's a coherent and brief video. Thanks for sharing.

Here's the thing. You're very right, it's not deep at all. Metaphors, similies, analogies, hyperboles, implications, etc. are all very normal parts of human speech, and this meme is pretty surface level in its requirement to use these things.

However, something has dawned on me, and I feel it necessary to ask you: are you perhaps on the spectrum? We sometimes have difficulties not taking everything literally, and this causes a communication gap. If this is the case, I will be completely and totally clear for you.

We are not literally talking about a literal bear vs a literal man. This is in fact a real metaphor for "danger vs danger". The literal interpretation is "men can be scary to many women". Going further, respond to this point and don't fixate on the hypothetical bear.

You didn't read his response correctly, and your response comes off as nonsense because of this. Replace black with white, and the comparison is more accurate. Understand the dynamics between oppressor and the oppressed, and the different ways similar rhetorics are used to muddy the waters to create disingenuous conversations. "It's sexist because women are saying men are scary" is a bad take.

It's pretty insane just how many men can't wrap their heads around something this simple. Goes to show how deep the patriarchy programming goes.

I did a rewatch of the prequels just to show a friend all the Darth Jar Jar evidence that never comes to fruition. We were robbed of a better experience.

r/savedyouaclick was pretty good at this, I'd say

"Smart" was never on the list of criteria. "Attractive" and/or "Entertaining" are much more common.

Yeah, the adult version of that child can absolutely get it.

Civilization as we know it probably has to collapse anyway if we wanna see the changes that would help everyone.

Everyone picks their own poison. I think the core issue is that our options are all poison.

A lot of people don't have the time nor the energy to cook these days. If you work long hours or have multiple jobs to make ends meet, things can and will fall to the wayside. It's not always a matter of laziness like you're implying.

Do you seriously lack this much reading comprehension, or are you just pretending to be daft?

You missed the mark, friend.
