@HelenLannister@foreeeeeal I can almost garuntee that you were taught critical thinking and deductive reasoning, as well as media literacy, but you either thought those lessons solely applicable to learning the language, or you didn’t understand the scope of what you were learning.
@Hermesdeclown@foreeeeeal The “garbage” your teachers were spewing was the critical thinking lesson that would’ve taught you enough reasoning and common sense to understand scamming your fellow working class neighbors isn’t something to brag about. Try taking on a larger fish and you can be proud then.
@GimmeLore There are parts I’ve seen clipped online that I want to love but I’m unsure about how they fit into the large picture Nolan gave us.
Overall I’m sure I’ll leave disappointed, but hopefully it’s from a writing standpoint as I enjoy many of the actors work
I think we aren’t talking about Anne Hathaway’s dialogue from the Odyssey enough. And I won’t start bc yall don’t engage in good faith conversations about smart women.
when other trans or queer people misgender other trans people because they don’t like them and are politically opposite them it’s gross
If your morals, ethics, and values are movable based on whether or not you get along and agree with someone, you don’t have any to begin with.
@nuel_irl Had yet to see someone mention Xenia in reference to the new Nolan Movie and like ty! Xenia was one of the most fundamental forms of piety for Ancient Greek people and acting like Penelope could just cast these men out in the way a woman could today is wild.
She wasn’t the beautiful melting pot our modern country tried to sell us and she wasn’t a ethnostate placed on top of an archipelago. Greece was a home during a storm. Imperfect but suitable.
The thing that makes me the most mad about fake Odyssey fans is that the first Greeks did not share the exact same ethnic backgrounds, religious doctrine, or even morals. The Greek identity was used as a unifier to avoid larger/deadlier conflicts with the Ottomans and Romans.
In 6th grade we read both “Bud, not Buddy” and “The Watson go to Birmingham -1963”. Both of these stories helped shape my understanding about racism and the history of the United States in ways I am forever grateful for.
Of course a certain demographic of people only now understand ‘accessibility’ when it affects them regarding a movie they can’t watch in full frame.
Cope.
I respect WIRED so much.
Tech companies are FUMING because they thought it would be positive PR for their products.
Instead WIRED is publishing articles which expose the downsides of AI and tech surveillance. And now they’re getting sued for it. Support them!
The Flock CEO is just doing PR cleanup for calling us all terrorists. His livelihood depends on treating us like terrorists, so don't believe him. Fuck him and fuck Flock. End Flock
im sorry not even on no canon preservationist shit but reading the Classics once in high school doesn’t even actually constitute reading the Classics.
that’s like saying taking Algebra 1 makes you a mathematician.
it's funny how many people speak for victims of violent crime and assume that we want to continue the cycle of violence
sorry bro you can't live out your homicidal revenge fantasy on my behalf
