This isn't really true. People absolutely used to hate Kirk. But they also identified him as unserious and susceptible to mockery. What happened is the right tried to canonize a clown and the entire political spectrum decided they wanted to keep laughing at him

The “Nothing Better Is Possible” caucus has reached its natural endpoint: campaigning in an election is “meddling”

"Zeus is unaffected by desires" have you read a single greek myth ever even one single time.

All the “bring back dislikes” plugin does is track the ratio of dislikes on a given video from people using the plugin, and then multiplies that percentage by the view count. It was scripted by someone who’s never heard of selection bias.

Again, this is how leading *capitalists* talk today; meanwhile, this site is full of right-wingers decrying the youth for not believing in “capitalism” anymore.

Americans are so entitled, they treat a natural disaster that is primarily threatening Canadian lives and livelihoods as something bad that Canada is doing to them.

When you guys are hit with wildfires, we send firefighters to help. You send Karens to talk to Canada’s manager.

Every famous death in The Odyssey is the same crime.

The Trojan War? Started because a houseguest stole his host's wife. The cyclops? Blinded for eating his visitors. The suitors? Slaughtered for overstaying their welcome in another man's home.

Nolan read it correctly. Homer wrote 3,000 years ago about one thing: how you treat strangers decides whether civilization holds.

Here's why the Greeks were obsessed with it. Ancient Greece had no hotels, no cops, no ID. If you traveled anywhere, you knocked on a stranger's door and hoped.

So they made hospitality sacred. Feed the stranger. Give him a bed. Don't ask his name until after dinner. Zeus himself enforced the rule, and any beggar at your door might be a god in disguise. So you treated every stranger like a king.

Break the rule and the gods break you. That's the entire plot.

We still carry the proof in our mouths. Guest, host, and hostile all come from the same ancient word. A stranger at your door was always both things at once.

Nolan bet $250 million that after 3,000 years, we still need the reminder. $257 million opening weekend, his biggest ever, says he was right.

Christopher Nolan expects audiences to believe this trip lasted 10 years

MODERN dolphins in ANCIENT Greece?!?!? Did Nolan even read the book

Greece is closer to Africa than Dallas is to Austin, but illiterate C students who barely skimmed the Cliff Notes version of The Odyssey in HS, who wouldn't be able to point out Greece on a map, and who fundamentally don't understand the concept of artistic license, are triggered

Biden vowed to veto it if it reached his desk.

Hillary Clinton said it would never happen.

Obama shot it down in 2009.

Ancient Greece didn't have White American and British people but y'all have yet to complain about that one
