Loved seeing them back in the 1990s

When COVID shutdown ket up and theaters opened I saw The Last Vermeer. It was me and one other guy. When the movie ended we sat somewhat far apart and talked about the film for 15 minutes. It was nice to not be the only one there and to talk with someone who saw the film

Because of a lack of admins/mods not due to low users or money

Thank you for clarifying what you previously meant

To be fair that’s a much more easily defensible position.

I heard a guy at a restaurant the other day talking about someone who was “reddit famous”. His party had no context for what that meant. I felt bad for that guy

I come here because I am fairly positive most are actual humans. A lot of the real idiots on reddit are bots looking to increase engagement.

Fish don’t exist taxonomically speaking.

Someone commented how everyone who isn’t celebrating her is a bot and I explained a different take on that.

You then proceeded to pretend you know what I think and why and that is delusional as you do not know me at all.

You then proceed to suggest that I am brainwashed and a bad person because I don’t share your exact views which seems intensely hypocritical.

You need significant psychological help as you are delusional. You do not know me nor have I taken a pro-Israel position.

Not really, if you take some time you’ll see she herself isn’t going around and doing grunt work. A lot of money is also spent making you think she’s effective at what sheis doing.

Im not saying she is doing nothing but there is a difference between what she is doing and what people who started up grassroots organizations did. If ypu look into her foundation they finance other groups and it is those people who are organizing.

Which is why this is a picture of John Hamm with a broccoli cut

She’s a media figure that gets credit for a lot of things others were doing but she is the face for.

She’s doing work but she isn’t organizing.

She has shown up. She hasn’t organized. Other people are doing that. Her foundation writes cheques.

I am giving her credit for what she is actually doing

Which means 54% cannot write a competent book report hitting the major plots and themes.

Sone of us are older and take issue with how much attention she is drawing while not really organizing anything. She’s a useful figurehead but there are people making her out to be akin to the American civil rights leaders of the past and she’s not doing what they did in terms of grassroots organization. She’s more Oprah, without the baggage she brings, than MLK.

She’s neither the second coming of Christ nor is she a huckster. I think she’s a sometimes media darling who does work herself but does not seem to be building a movement but rather shows up to be the face of it.

Bet is from African American Vernacular English (AAVE) not Gen whatever slang.

The following is from 12/15/1985 when Eddie Murphy is hosting Saturday Night Live. He uses “bet” at around 2:10 though it’s a solid monologue if you have seen “Best Defense” (if you have not don’t)

This is literally an article about an NJ democrat who was arrested at a protest where other NJ democratic party politicians were arrested. My 2nd choice for governor, Ras Baraka, was arrested there as well. McIver was trying to prevent this illegal arrest.

The issue isnt that no one is doing anything it is that not enough of us are.

We were talking about whether large sweeping economic changes are a bad idea and whether incremental changes are better. You were arguing against that and I used minimum wage as an example.

Im tired of explaining things to you, so let’s stop here.
