I haven't watched this show or movie or whatever it is, but my comment was more in general.
If movie is bad and the lead is a white guy the studio and director and everyone involved kinda just shrugs and goes "whoops" but when it's got a minority/POC lead and it ranks they seem to almost always accuse the viewers of just being racist incels instead of just admitting there might have been other issues with the film.
I'm sure some of the negative reviews are from people like that. But I also think a lot of companies and people like to hide behind the fact that they have a minority or POC main character as the reason the movie bombed when in reality the movie was just bad.
Any discussion about the actual quality of the writing, directing, casting and whatever else gets drowned out by people calling it racist or sexist as opposed to addressing the fact that the movie did fail in several other key ways.
You seem to be holding onto a lot of hate for something a very different guy did 10+ years ago. He's gotten married, had a kid and moved his family to Japan since his young edgy days.
He absolutely deserved criticism for the stupid shit he was doing when his channel was exploding, but I think holding onto that level of vitriol for this long isn't healthy.
People are allowed to grow and change. Im sure you said or did some incredibly stupid shit in your teenage and young adult years. I know I fucking did. If we never allow people to grow and change for the better then we are permanently locking each person to their lowest point and holding them there forever. I think that is an incredible robotic and inhuman way to approach the human condition.
Calm down there brother. I just noticed something that looked off to me and was seeing if anyone else saw the same thing. Clearly most people agree it's just a cheap shitty flag that wasnt ironed. I must have gotten lucky with all my flags because none of them had creases or wrinkles after a few days of being hung up.
I have a similarly old redbull f1 flag on my wall at home. It doesn't have any creases anymore. I wonder if heat/humidity have anything to do with it. It does get hella hot here in the summer. Multiple days over 110 most summers.
I thought about this a lot after the last time I saw this post. I am almost positive it was a The Prodigy mix that I made for myself. My little sister got a car with a CD drive in it as her first car and she asked for my old CDs and that's the latest one I can recall making.
Crazy to think that 10+ years after I made that CD now my little sister is listening to it haha. And I was already listening to many cd mixes my mom and father had given to me over the years. That CD case probably has illegally downloaded music burned to CDs from over 25 years ago in it. Not to mention several actual CDs that are probably almost 50 years old at this point. My father loved the classics and after he ripped his entire library to cram into his digital magic box he let a lot of the physical CDs go to his son's. at least 1 or two ended up on that cd case of mine.
....did you read my comment at all? I very clearly stated that those are popular tourist destinations that people are still visiting all year round. As in people don't find THOSE places too dangerous to visit why should they worry about america?
Both of those places are significantly more dangerous than the overwhelming majority of America as I very clearly explained in the rest of my comment.
I don't think you read my comment at all. If you did you certainly didn't understand anything I said.
What that data fails to properly explain is that outside of a few counties you are basically never going to see a gun homicide in the US. The city I live in has some of the highest gun crime in the country, but it is almost exclusively in a few small areas that tourists would never really go anywhere near.
Of our yearly gun homicides ~82% of it is African Americans killing other African Americans. Often in gang related disputes in very specific areas in a couple of states.
Depending on where someone is visiting they are likely much safer here than in many other countries on average.
Statistics are a wonderful thing, but it's important to fully understand the data rather than just applying that average to the entire united states without any nuance.
Mississippi had a gun death rate of 29.6 per 100k in 2022.
Rhode Island had a a gun death rate of 3.1 per 100k in 2022.
Both those numbers include suicide by gun and suicide has outpaced homicide for at least the last 40 years.
Another thing to note is that the USA over all has lower gun homicide rates today than back in 1970s.
For comparison Jamaica had 44.7 gun death per 100k in 2022.
The Bahamas had 28.5 per 100k in 2022.
Plenty of people still feel comfortable traveling to those places year round.
You're wasting your time brother. I had and oooooold account with hundreds of thousands of karma and it was snapped outta nowhere. No specific reason given aside from I broke "TOS" which tells me nothing. So I submitted an appeal asking what rule I broke and promised never to break whatever rule that was again. It was instantaneously denied without any clarification.
I made a new account with a new email and new device on a new internet source and after ~30 minutes my new account was banned for "ban evasion". Literally have no clue how they knew it was me, but whatever.
Saw some posts of people saying that they were able to make a new account after waiting a few years and moving, but I can't verify if that works.
