Joel Osteen being worth $100 million and having the audacity to ask any of his followers for donations at a time like this perfectly sums up all my problems with organized religion.
@LittleCharlesTV Y’all are so fucking exhausting. Sure, if you’ve only ever seen three movies before. The possession trope is exactly that. A trope. Obsession didn’t invent it and neither did Get Out.
@BOlmsted17@PersonthePerso2 And yet somehow, that’s never happened to anyone else who lived on Tattooine.
He also only walks around in a hooded cloak, so that makes even less sense as an explanation.
@sanguineblood@ArmoredScrotum@nopriorart@M3S0soic Do you not hear how ridiculous you sound? Yes, in very rare cases, mixed children can outwardly present only the racial features of one parent. That is not something that happens often. Darth Vader being black would make absolutely no sense at all.
@MarioSonicGamex@M3S0soic This implies that George had the prequels mapped out in the 70s, which he obviously did not. He did not intend for Ben to be in his mid-life. He clearly intended for him to be a very old man. The prequels ruined that for no good reason at all.
vaguely recall seeing some university spending significantly more on union-busting, policing, etc... than it would have cost to meet the demands of organizing graduate workers because the issue is never the money; it's the power. they'll happily take this deal; AI won't organize.
@theehellpriest You know how we can easily deny this silly racism theory? Change the races of any of the characters in the film from black to white/vice versa. The film is exactly the same. Clark could’ve been white and Mary could’ve been black and the film would’ve played the same way.
Politicians are not your tio, they're not your mamala. They're public servants. But hey this is hilarious coming from the people who called Bernie supporters cultists for 8 years.
@scarylawyerguy Listen, it might be a combination of both. But what YOUR camp WON’T do is admit that being rat-fucked by the Dem establishment is ABSOLUTELY going to contribute to that loss if it does happen.
1. None of these people are even true socialists, let alone communists.
2. The fuck is there to be happy about when you’re talking to people about the very serious reality that the government is bought and paid for and how that only hurts the working class?
@melmaxxing@ateotbray What tropes? Tell us more about what YOU assume of black people. Tf. He’s a complex character. The film would’ve worked the exact same way if Clark were white. Not a single thing about this movie necessitates that character being black.
@spqr_sulla@LegacyKillaHD Did you miss the scene where Bear calls the number on the box and literally hears Nikki wailing in pain, you idiot? There’s nothing ambiguous about whether or not the wish worked, and deleting the money scene wouldn’t change that. It works. That’s the point. It’s not ambiguous.
