we used to watch netflix on the wii
The reactionary backlash to media analysis is a natural part of the wider "fascists hate anything intellectual" phenomenon, btw.
Wanting you to ignore the politics of Star Wars comes from the same exact place that wants you to substitute the germ theory of disease with the 'sickness comes from failure to be a good christian and most people who claim to be sick are just faking anyway' myth.
To take a quote from Dan Olson:
They don't want these complexities to exist, and by talking about them, you make them exist. It's a form of magical thought. Talking about police brutality wills police brutality into existence. A disruption of the status quo is seen as a disruption of the natural order. The problem they see is that no-one has made those people shut up. That is what they want: someone to come in and make those people shut up and go away, to put things back "where they belong."
[...]
Their will is a hammer that they are using to beat reality itself into a shape of their choosing, a simple world where reality is exactly what it looks like through their eyes, devoid of complexity, devoid of change, where they are right and their enemies are silent. They are trying to build a flat earth.
Be a teachable individual YOU DO NOT know everything

The caption reads: "Defeated by roses. Near Turin's Lingotto station, along a lonely path, Miss Guida Concetta Rinino, 28 years old, who was bringing a nice bunch of roses to a relative, was accosted by an unknown young man. The young woman, rather than losing heart, defended herself with extraordinary energy, using the bunch of flowers as a weapon. So it was that the scoundrel, his face all scratched up, had to flee. (Drawing by Walter Molino.)"
when i was a teenager i used to catch myself thinking "i'm really glad i'm alive right now because of all the cool personal technologies that exist" and when i did i'd think it through and reckon that well, its not like teenagers in the 70s and 80s knew they didnt have ipods or facebook or whatever. they were also happy with the tech they had. and i'd reason that in the future there would be more fun technologies that i dont know i'm missing out on right now and the future will be an even cooler time to exist
anyway i was dead fucking wrong about that last part. i hate personal technologies now. i miss having an ipod that doesnt advertise shit to me and i miss when my htc wildfire didnt harass me 45 times a day to install an ai assistant and then install it anyway when i say no and i miss when the internet wasnt 5 websites all of which i have to log into and i miss when i didnt need an app to talk to my landlord. sorry past me you were actually right about 2009
The idea of two people having sex and it creating another, smaller person who has a combination of their traits sounds like it was made up for fan fiction but alas I've heard tale that it's really happened
ID: a series of screenshots of posts from twitter account NFTNick.eth (@/allnick). each one has community notes underneath
tweet 1: "Cheers to the haters from my NYC penthouse." (image of nick holding a bottle of champagne and a glass). community notes read: The bottle Nick is holding does not cost $5000, and is in fact a bottle of Tattinger Champagne that cost less than $85.
tweet 2: "A message to all "community notes"." (thumbnail of a video of nick in a car). community notes read: It is visible in the reflection of his sunglasses that the driver is wearing streetwear and not the formal attire that a private chauffeur would wear. He is clearly in a Lyft or Uber
tweet 3: "Good morning to the hates from my private movie theater" (an image of nick in front of a large movie screen). community notes read: It is visible in the camera lens that "my private movie theatre" is not in fact his nor much-private. It is a shared screening room "within Brooklyn Point doubles as a performance space, giving residents and their guests the opportunity to showcase their talents".
tweet 4: "Good morning haters from my helipad" (an image of nick in front of a helipad). community notes read: Nick is claiming that this is his helipad, however, a quick look around google maps shows that this helipad is owned and controlled by Manhattan Helicopters.
tweet 5: "The community notes haters are saying this isn't my helipad! / Who's is it then?!?! / If I called the street I live on "my street" would I get community noted? / Choose rich!" community notes read: The Helipad is owned by Manhattan Helicopters. It's their helipad.
tweet 6: "Good morning from my LA Lambo" (an image of nick in a car). community notes read: The vehicle in the video is not a Lambhorgini as @/allnick is claiming. Based on the reflection in the glasses at various parts of the video, it looks to be a 2021 Mazda CX-5. The various sources below verify this.
end ID.
I don't know who this is, but I'm glad he keeps having a bad day.
you really think he'd eventually figure out to stop wearing mirrored sunglasses
why do they all look like tears for fears
