Enfys posted:Maybe cartoons should not be treated as if they provide a moral compass Any piece of media provides a moral compass. Would you rather people be critical observers who can watch a character do good things, weigh it against their other actions, and come to the conclusion that they aren't a good person overall even if they did the right thing? Or would you rather have people passively believe that because they enjoy the antics of a character, then they're right to admire and emulate every lovely thing they do because they're the good guy at the end of the day?

I'd rather we not get into this derail and just do more IOSM, if it's all the same to y'all.

Both of them, I guess. It's fair that she dumped him because he didn't do really anything with his life (even though that's clearly not actually why she did it) but she doesn't seem to get that his huge-rear end income from rent doesn't change that. Edit: And the guy reposting and presumably idolising the guy in it, I guess. maswastaken has a new favorite as of 19:59 on Jul 23, 2017 |

Am I the only one who thinks if you have a ton of money and yet still torrent poo poo because you're too drat cheap to buy it, that makes you a prick? Also it sounds like the chick dodged a bullet if what she wanted was someone really motivated and career-minded. Her ex just sounds like a lazy guy who gets away with it because he's sitting on a bunch of inherited wealth.

Potato soup and a torrented movie is a poo poo date. And he's just going to stay like that, so she was better off dumping him. Maybe he'll find a miser lady and they can live together in miser happiness not spending their money.

The important part for me is how she perceived him. She didn't know he was merely a frugal rich guy. He just seemed incredibly lazy and miserly, with no ambition to work or excel at life. He sounds like a boring jerk.

I have green eyes, they seem to match the color of whatever green shirt I'm wearing, that's about it. It's probably an optical illusion.

Yea, and there was no indication of it being some sort of "secret test" like if she married him suddenly he'd open up his wallet and start spending like normal. No, gently caress him and his miserly ways. You can't take it with you, so what's the point of living like a poor?

"she had the most beautiful hazel eyes and her hair was golden chestnut color with dark-auburn streaks. We already overused all the fancy words for brown. Also brown is just a really terrible sounding word for a color that tend to mostly match bad things in our ordinary life. WampaLord posted:No, gently caress him and his miserly ways.

She just wishes she had the glorious green eyes. *rubs eyeballs* So, this was a promoted tweet I keep seeing whenever I check my twitter feed: https://twitter.com/TheEconomist/status/888428970621915136 Nothing unusual (besides really, really being focused on Amazon for some reason). But the comments have some interesting things there. https://twitter.com/Mtch4u21H/status/888807527428882432   All his retweets are "I SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP RETWEET IF YOU AGREE".https://twitter.com/Benjamin_Evans0/status/888878014452203520 Holy gently caress  https://twitter.com/deploJon/status/888902923060744192

This dude definitely went too far down the miser hole. I'm sure he'll find some women who's just as much of a miser as him and they'll be very happy, but gently caress, I just can't fathom that kind of mentality. I'm not saying to blow all of your money, but there's a healthy medium.

I do, too (green with an outer brown rim), and yeah, pretty much that. They're actually rather colorless and will reflect ambient light and nearby colors sometimes, that's why they seem to match clothes and look clearer in daylight. Not at all like the "emerald green eyes" of many terrible (fan)fiction works out there. At least they give me a reason to wear clear, bright clothes
