EvenWorseOpinions posted:I watch that movie at least twice a year with my mom, every time we notice another cool nautical detail I love that movie and don't understand people who think it's "too slow". If anything it's probably extremely sped up compared to what a naval battle like that would actually look like. Plus it's more about the atmosphere and the relationships with the crew than fighting the evil frenchies. also the lesser of two weevils joke is funny and i've been waiting to actually see two weevils in real life since then so i can make the same joke.

I have had the opportunity to make that joke on several occasions I don't mean to discourage you but inevitably whoever you make the joke to will either already know the joke and spoil it or they will be oblivious and derail the setup so hard it crashes into a puppy orphanage The uncultured swine

Tiggum seeks to lecture on things he believes he knows all about, and which others know nothing. The poor fool. We are each of us a piece of the universe gazing at itself. Knowing itself. Making out with itself. All things are changing and mercurial. All is fluid, movement, dynamism. We are each of us a dance of the cosmos. This is obvious to anyone who carefully observes reality. The ancients knew it. The phenomenal world that we perceieve is merely an illusion. But ah, an illusion presented to whom? The ego-I, which is the eye of the universe. The universe tricking itself.

Treating addiction as a joke in tv, movies, etc is really lovely and almost on par with bigotry. It isn't something you get or don't get based on your willpower or morals or whatever the gently caress, it's a goddam disease. It's also not "easy" or whatever. An alcoholic or a crack fiend has to navigate all the same poo poo normal people navigate, plus fund an addiction. That poo poo takes resources.

I can see being irritated if someone sleeps in an extreme amount (i.e. after 10-11) if they are your guests and they are there for a vacation or something. If they are early risers that's a huge chunk of time where they have to do nothing and be quiet. That said, I also understand your side. I think both sides have a valid irritation though and it's part of why having guests visit in general is stressful/annoying.

I agree. If they came to see me then totally, but they came for their own thing. Its tough because its my wifes mom 61, aunt, 65, and gma, 94. And they grew up on a farm. So they go to bed at like 830 on a saturday and are up at 7. I live in the greatest American city, so i use my weekends to sleep in amd catch up, since im up early all week. Them being here doesn't change that, and my wife thinks im rude for doing Jastiger in Jastigers house. I dont go to their house and get upset at their life style i only expect the same in return

On a similar note I get tired of people acting like it's wrong/not adult to sleep in on weekends just in general. I'm a night person who wakes up at 6 am 5 days a week and I like to stay up late and sleep in on weekends. Whats the big deal? it's the weekend I can do whatever the hell I want.

I don't do it anymore, but for years I worked until 1 or 2am and got to bed after 3, so naturally I slept later than most people and got the same poo poo talked about it when someone noticed. Like yeah I would sleep in until past the time most people got to work, but it's not like I was sleeping more than anybody or working any less hours than anyone. It was always annoying to be perceived as a lazy sloth when I had the exact same responsibilities as anyone else and always stuck to them, just shifted ahead a few hours.

I haven't been to a Cracker Barrel since I was a kid but I didn't like it then because it just felt like going out to a restaurant to eat food that was basically like what my mom would make at home. Also a casual chain restaurant being attached to a gift store that for the most part has nothing to do with the chain is weird

It's actually OK to beat up nazis. If every single one of the dudes at that nazi rally in Charlottesville had gotten the poo poo kicked out of them while police turned a blind eye, that would've been an unqualified good.

Agreed, but also for the other side as well. If both sides willingly choose to violate the law only to hurt each other and not damage anyone else's property, they should be allowed to fight it out and the survivors will be taken to prison.

Oh yes, if one party decides to kill all the Jews, and the other party decides to protect the Jews from harm, both sides should be treated as equally evil.

I already said the people fighting them are the morally correct side, but it shouldn't be them doing the fighting, it should be the US military/national guard, not a bunch of masked college kids.

THe SS and the Gestapo are part of the government, while the partisans are defying the government authority. I guess I will support the genocide of all of Belarus, after all the government is the highest form of good, higher than moral good, I'm yeah eat rear end.

If soembody beats up a guy who's literally throwing seig heils and chanting "blood and soil!" then that's fine. No reason to get the law involved. also, loving lol at the idea that nazis would have to overthrow the US government before taking over

It's still a crime though. Crimes are sometimes justified but if we want to have a civilized society we have to enforce the law. and steinrokkan, my point is a bunch of masked kids aren't enough to keep things like charlottesville from happening. We need a forceful response from the government to discourage this kind of thing from happening again.

I don't think it's crazy to say people who beat other people up should be processed responsibly by law enforcement even if it's for a good reason. If you beat someone up in self defense or to save someone else I'd still expect the police to bring you in for questioning etc. I know that gets into a grey area cause the American court/police system is a joke but it still shouldn't become commonplace for people to just get let off immediately no questions asked for violent acts, how would that even work? I personally think it'd probably be a good idea if they arrested every single person who was on the nazi side of the rally for questioning btw
