Yeah agree there but the picture with this made it rather clear that this is their annual skiing holiday. It does suck but it's really not front page news. I stand by my initial point, trying to garner tears for the wealthy family of four that go skiing every year is terrible journalism.

But it's not about a wealthy family of four. It's about how 20 people pooled their resources for a vacation (long before this crisis started!) and how they just got hosed because the business they gave their money to is run by shitheads.

Your ire towards the wealthy is fine, but it needs to be directed at the right people. And there's no shortage of examples.

ONE BILLION AMERICANS, this year's spookiest halloween hit

"[W]e will create the necessary conditions for the whole Germanic people and the whole of Europe, controlled, ordered and led by us, the Germanic people, to be able, in generations, to stand the test in her battles of destiny against Asia, who will certainly break out again. We do not know when that will be. Then, when the mass of humanity of 1 to 1½ [billion] lines up against us, the Germanic people, numbering, I hope, 250 to 300 million, and the other European peoples, making a total of 600 to 700 million – (and with an outpost area stretching as far as the Urals, or, a hundred years, beyond the Urals) – must stand the test in its vital struggle against Asia. It would be an evil day if the Germanic people did not survive it. It would be the end of beauty and 'Kultur', of the creative power of this earth. That is the distant future. It is for that that we are fighting, pledged to hand down the heritage of our ancestors."

I knew a raw vegan who claimed primitive humans were healthy, strong, long-lived, and never got ill, all as a result of their raw vegetable and fruit diet.

He subsequently got sick and took a full month to recouperate. He was about 40 pounds underweight, last I knew him.

So people are right when they say that movies before that point feel different; they are different. But that difference is mostly just slower, stodgier, and more boring rather than drawing from an entirely different visual language incomprehensible to a modern viewer.

I'd actually argue that modern films are slower than older films, in terms of editing and writing. Lots of movies from the 30s-60s had lightning-quick editing, crisp dialogue, complex camera movements, and not a lot of dead air. Compare that to "serious" films from the late 90s to today, with long takes, zero camera movement, deadpan actors, long serious silences.

Not that I'm its biggest fan,but Citizen Kane has so much going on, constantly draws the eye in. Compared to any of the heavy, plodding work by modern filmmakers like Aronofsky, Mendes, Fincher, or Nolan? It's practically electric.

As someone who used to play Risk a lot with my dad, no one who plays Risk thinks it's reflective of actual strategy. Also no one plays Risk anymore.

Also also fun fact about my Risk-playing dad, they used to have a house rule that if you lost a country you'd have to run down the apartment stairs, run around the building, jump over the grill outside, and run back up by a certain time limit. That's what they had to do to make the dang game entertaining and I'm sure being hopped up on coke in the 80's didn't hurt.

Some friends of mine in Austin would have two large teams of people at two different tables, one half playing Risk and the other playing Monopoly, and each team would use the proceeds from a game of Monopoly to pay for their military campaigns.

This shits me so much.

These women are saying "Boohoo I don't want my husband to become a woman because then I will be married to a woman thus making me a lesbian. I would much rather my husband live a life of misery and pain, stuck in a gender that they do not feel they are. I care that little about my husband of 10+ years wellbeing that I will sentence them to living a lie that causes them immense emotional distress, just so I can avoid some social embarrassment "

gently caress that.

I'm pretty sure these women don't want that. And it doesn't seem to be about "social embarrassment," but more about "now being married to someone of a gender they're not attracted to." Unless you believe they're obligated to change their sexuality on their partner's whims?

This is conservative whataboutism in its purest form. They love getting leftists in what they think are catch-22s or logical inconsistencies or something, like "oh so you say wind power is good? Well what about ALL THE BIRDS THE WINDMILLS KILL", like they want to take different leftist groups and pit them against each other and in so doing prove that all leftism is stupid and we should just do nothing because everything is fine the way it is.

"Why fight for gay marriage at home, there are countries in Africa where being gay is a capital crime!"
"You feminists and trans advocates are all obsessed with pronouns, yet you don't give a poo poo about women being brutalized under the Taliban! Curious!"
"Black lives matter? Don't you think there are places in the world where racism is a bigger problem than the US?"
"We all have to get vaccinated, huh? What happened to MY BODY MY CHOICE???"

All it is is "America is fine and perfect, if you want to agitate for something go agitate about some other country instead of screwing up this one with all your tyrannical busybodyism"

It's a mindset shared by the hyper-religious, particularly Christian apologists. They think if you can find one provable Biblical fact, then the rest of it must be true. Conversely, they believe if there's one chink in a non-Christian worldview, then it's completely invalid. It's based in rhetoric and debate, not in common sense.
