@uncle_deluge Given how much people’s speech patterns and vocabulary change over time, it’s fully possible that you’d be unable to communicate. Most of what you’d say would be gobbledygook your brain made up
@KazuTheRonin@TheCinesthetic John’s “supposed” to be a killer, but deep down he wants to be something else. So he rages against the system. Eventually he is forced to go to the very top of the pyramid to earn his freedom and be what he wants, not what he’s supposed to be.
@KazuTheRonin@TheCinesthetic have no other choice. Theon however feels that the rules of this system don’t apply to him, so he’s needlessly cruel and reckless. Then there’s John, who thought he could escape the system but realizes that the only way to do that is to destroy it.
@mylegs_hurt@RobertSecundus There are autistic people for whom auditory overstimulation is physically painful. It’s extremely ableist of you to ignore this and other tenets of basic human decency just because you don’t feel like using earbuds.

@Authw8 It’s also a religion in that many progressives await an eschatological upheaval that will suddenly bring about an ideal world, reward them for their moral purity and punish nonbelievers.
@Swordfish978 It's astonishing how he writes books that are both needlessly elaborate while also being boring as sin. I've tried two of his books and could not bring myself to get even halfway through.
@quibvs The visuals, music, characters, dialogue and story show that what Paul’s doing is bad, but at no point does he turn to the camera and say “what I’m doing is bad and this movie is about deconstructing the white savior trope” so it doesn’t count
@ebbandflowph@decadentquill It’s funny because “no pain no gain” is perfectly valid and understandable when applied to physical activities eg crossfit, but when it comes to intellectual pursuits suddenly it’s silly to think that learning takes effort
