I never thought of it like that, well written.
It’s interesting watching the discussion in this thread evolving and polarizing. Yesterday the discussion started as ‘nuclear is one solution in a portfolio of solutions to combat climate change. vs. nuclear is always bad.’ and developed into ‘nuclear is good and you’re dumb. vs. nuclear is bad and you’re evil’.
I am only going to be expanding on your discussion of the N-word specifically, and not the larger discussion. While the N-word is abominable in English, because the word for black in a lot of languages came from the Latin word “nigreos”, a lot of languages have words that sound like the N-word but are not. The word just means the color black. That’s just the etymology of the Latin word. If you have personal experience living in those areas then I’ll definitely add more weight to your comment, because I haven’t.
It’s really easy actually, the difficult part is cooking them.
Hard to say, I’ve never seen a heat affected zone look like that. I also haven’t foraged a sword.
Old mandolin slicers. The plastic on one’s produced recently cracks in a year for the cheap ones, or five years for the expensive ones. My grandmother had one that was solid metal. I’m sure it’s serving my cousin as well today as it served my grandmother 50+ years ago.
Scientist are stupid removed because they’re liars, Sometimes. Gravity is a complete scam! Ask a scientist, any scientist to explain gravity to you. They can’t. Newton thought he could, but then Einstein came and proved he was a liar and a little removed. Einstein thought he could, but then some other scientist proved he was a liar and a removed. So how do we know they’re all not lieing removed. /S
While I do agree that it, at times, definitely stepped into ‘dumb femminism’ as you put it. I also acknowledge that it was a movie and to do a discussion on feminism justice it would require a lot more than 2 hours. So a lot got simplified, sometimes too much. I disagree with you that it was a constant attack towards men. The movie went wayyyyy out of its way to make it clear they were attacking patriarchal systems, not men in general. That’s Ken’s whole arc, he’s suffering under patriarchy too. He just also gets the benefits of the patruarchy while he’s suffering. If I had any criticism about the film it was how much it tried to avoid criticizing capitalism and corporate culture’s role.
I mean, if it did happen, would that be the worst thing?
If you believe that, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
