@348119652b3a49f@lindyli I'm sorry to say this, but f your ex! I'm so glad you got out of that situation! I wonder if the Academy is going to take away Will's Oscar.
@mrmedicineg@NoelBla45602516@lindyli Unless they're saying the context isn't the point? Perhaps it's just Will's words alone that sound like something they've heard from abusers in their lives? I'm still kind of confused bc to me abusing someone is unforgivable and what Will did was well intended, but kind of dumb.
@reneefoster1006@lindyli I'm so sorry, I'm not getting the connection between Will slapping someone outside of the intimate relationship. Is it just the words and not the context that reminds people of abusive relationships? So not necessarily saying Jada is being abused, but just his words are familiar?
@NoelBla45602516@lindyli But he didn't hit Jada. He slapped Chris for the joke he made. Unless we're saying Will abused Chris? So even if Will says he did it to defend someone he loves, the victim of the slap was not the person he loved. That's why I'm so confused. Thanks for trying to explain it tho.
@BetteMidler I never heard that before, but when I heard Denzel said that, I was like "That's brilliant and so true! Denzel is a prophet!" and then I was like "Damn it! He should've won for Macbeth!"
@MymmsStarbase @mhmck I sound like a broken record, but what if Hitler had been stopped by the Allies the day after he invaded Poland? Maybe 11 million Jews around the world would've lived.
@wwschrader @mhmck If the ultimate fear is that he'll use nukes, what would happen if he went into NATO member Poland next? Would the fact that he had nukes prevent NATO from defending Poland? And if the answer is, no, NATO defends Poland, why wouldn't the nuke threat deter such action?
@Splintzerd @IJefTomI@cye9k@Kowalski_Walt1@matthewjdowd They've been holding their own, but it's been 32 days. They have got to be getting tired and when you get tired, mistakes happen.
@matthewjdowd I've been wondering if Allies had stopped Hitler the day after he invaded Poland, would 11 million Jews have lived? I think quite possibly.
@Kowalski_Walt1@Pillow_cheeks@matthewjdowd@RadioFreeTom@20committee Do you think Putin's first response to such words would be to launch nuclear weapons? I'm sure he would choose other methods to retaliate before he launched nukes. Not saying the threat isn't real, just wondering if words alone would make him launch nukes. Hope not.
@matthewjdowd I feel like if he slapped Amy, she'd slap him back. She'd probably spit on his face too while grabbing her crotch. And it would be magnificent. I'm joking.
