I think he saying Death Stranding was made to be bad, as a joke. That's obviously unhinged ofc, since it's actually good...

...as is Prometheus, too. Hmm...This guy's a real nutjob it seems, and might be a danger to himself and others.

What? Death Stranding was amazing and Prometheus was disappointing.

Not exactly related to what peepeedoodoo was saying, but it did bring to mind another PHUO

When people lump a bunch of media together into some sphere of too fancy pants for them, it comes across as extremely insecure. Like you're afraid you aren't smart enough to "get it" so you preemptively call it trash for pretensions people. But a lot of fancy pants art is perfectly understandable and enjoyable.

The Seventh Seal, the hallmark of fancy pants foreign movies, is really funny and has a part where a clown chases around a chick with big tits but then has to flee town when her husband comes home. It is a movie about death, but in order to be about death it also has to be about life, and it's not subtle. Some random MCU fan who watches it might not be able put it exactly into words what it's about, but I bet they'll probably still get something out of it.

There's a bunch of people stranded in the snow in Donner Pass because they decided to drive through Donner Pass during a snowstorm. Now, of course the government should do everything in it's power to save them. Being dumb should not warrant a death sentence, and one of the measurements of the quality of a society is how far it will go to save the dumb.

But.

The first responders who do make it to those stranded and offer aid should be allowed and required to viciously mock those stranded motorists for the duration of the crisis.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

I can't speak for everyone's experience but, well, they kind of do make fun of you a little when you're rescued from a probably avoidable trap.

Fruit should never be crunchy unless it's an apple. There is nothing more disappointing tasting than an under-ripe melon or pear or orange or basically anything else other than an apple. Ever try to bite into an under-ripe nectarine or peach? It sucks.

Under ripe mangos make me angry. I'll buy precut fruit as a treat when I shop and when it has hard Mango I get irrationally angry.

There should be hundreds Oscars awarded each year, for a wide variety of niche cinematic achievements. And the whole event should be televised. A 24 hour extravaganza of movie excellence.

spicy take: police departments should offer suicide by cop as a service. you want to go out in a blaze of glory, they get a big warehouse set up for you and give you a bunch of big cool guns full of blanks, you get to scream your head off while you fire full auto at a bunch of cops and then they give you a reasonably quick death.

pros:
-people who want to go out on their own terms get to do so without endangering innocent bystanders
-cops that want to shoot people get to do so without murdering innocent people
-people that don't want to get shot by cops or crazies don't (as much)

The arguments for banning Tik Tok because it's "warping the minds of the young" are some of the exact same ones that were leveled against Facebook 10-12 years ago (back before Boomers started flooding it). They're extremely dumb and there's no ironicat big enough to respond to the US government pissing and moaning because "the scary Chinese might be spying on us through their app!".

We could ban both tomorrow and the brain issues that supposedly arise from their use would still be with us, because neither is the cause of those brain issues. The cause is late stage capitalism; Tik Tok is just the newest scapegoat.

Please understand that "Tiktok is no worse for society than Facebook" is an argument in favor of banning Tiktok
