  • It's the extremist teenage power fantasy: become a complete recluse and kill everyone who looks at you funny.

    Lol. Sure, but if that's the amount of contempt we're putting to our analysis, Gamora is the ultimate kawai waifu that the hero is destined to be with, even getting his godlike Daddies (think like an Arnie as inlaw oh wait no who has that can't be the same person leading this movie) acceptance for his boyfriend, who is overall very average, very mid all around, but still saves the universe.

    They're all complete fantasies and based on a lot of silly wishful stuff.

    "Threatens to kill Starlord for putting the moves on him" lol, as if that was even remotely an actual threat instead of thinly veiled sexual innuendo. No way, the mid tier guy has to like, make the attractive lady want them through being a bad person, despite being very mid and not having the attention of the attractive kawai waifus, overcoming it through the power of personality. But also, he's literally a god. Well, "A celestial". Which never gets shown, except the once, which doesn't reflect to his abilities or strengths in any way.

    Yes, the ultimate standin for the average comic fan, I guess?

    But Cpt Marvel actually develops as a character. Perhaps from bad to not-so-good, but they develop. And perhaps you don't enjoy aspects of the movie which I might, I dk. We prolly like different things, and honestly, can't remember that much of Cpt Marvel as a plot, so it couldn't have been that good, but I do remember enjoying the character of Cpt Marvel more than Gamora at any point. Gamora might have been interesting in some comics or smth but at least in the movie she didn't have development, just a romantics interest of the lead who then gets killed by Arn... Big Daddy.

  • IMO Gamorra is a much more interesting character than Captain Marvel.

    Eh. Gamora is the love interest of a protagonist of the movie. (Arguably the main one in GoG, obviously but still.)

    Captain Marvel is the protagonist of her movie.

    Idk, I've seen GoG movies twice at least but I haven't rewatched Captain Marvel... maybe it's a good time. Thanks.

    But yeah for the female characters from GoG i just find Nebula a far more interesting character. We actually see her develop and see her past and she's not just a romantic interest (even when there's hint of a bit of that perhaps), unlike Gamora. Gamora didn't really have an arc imo, just disliking his "daddy" and then dying. And then coming back and being a bitch more or less. Dk, seems uninteresting to me.

  • Do Americans really only shit once a week?

    Jump

  • Not "just because", that's a strawman.

    There are several things.

    They're a teacher. Who has access to the internet. What's their excuse for not just being ignorant in a time and place where they don't need to (laziness, lack of intellectual curiosity or being bad at their job?), but also confidently teaching that to others, and not only others, but specifically children in a school, a place where they'd expect to hear actually learned information and not some random ignorance?

    Internet access makes no one smarter.

    Yeah that's about as true as "it's so cold in America they only poop weekly"

    Internet, when given to someone who's curiosity has been fostered, does indeed make them smarter. And you can see the difference in educational performance from kids who lack internet access, and it's consistently lower than kids from households with the internet.

    She probably got it from somewhere and didnt bother to enquire more.

    Yeah, exactly, a moron, that's what we said...?

  • Do Americans really only shit once a week?

  • Kinda sounds like she was though.

    I've often thought how silly, ignorant and undereducated one would need to be to believe that people from other countries are somehow completely physically different from you? Like WWI style propaganda. I understand uneducated farmers at the turn of the 19th century believing in things like that, because they don't have any way to verify or look at anything from other countries.

    You and your teacher both had the internet. And are actively on it.

    You should know better.

  • As someone with chronic issues, the amount of timed doctors just shrug and give up is kinda high.

    Thats what I like House M.D. though, because it's basically a Sherlock show, there's always an answer. Unlike in real life, where they just send you home without actually figuring things out. I've had like 8 seizures in the last 10 years and still the best I've got it "idk, MRI seemed clear" and that's all.

  • Yes and I find it fucking awful and definitely not hilarious. So with your reaction, you've actually proved my point. Which was that I'd have made a bad joke about it even if you told me you were gangraped as a woman. Because I knew you tried having a "gotcha", because pure a sweaty contrarian who wrote something as stupid as "rape is hilarious". And making a joke about something doesn't mean I find it hilarious. Here it's actually showing the opposite.

    You're just contrarian, who's now forced to move his goalposts. So rape isn't hilarious or is it? Or only violent men-on-men rapes are funny? Have you ever been in jail/prison?

    So any time a man gets raped, it's just instantly hilarious to you, even when there's no joke? Ofc that's not your actual view, but you won't be able to admit that it isnt. (If it was btw, I'd urge you to seek psychiatric care.)

    Here, you'll probably get a whole night's worth of giggles, look

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison_rape_in_the_United_States

    In 2001, Human Rights Watch estimated that at least 4.3 million inmates had been raped while incarcerated in the United States.

    Ahahaha hilarious, millions of people violently raped AHAHAHAHAAH. /S

    Go ahead and tell me how hilarious it is.

  • Hunters: is camo just cosplay?

    Jump

  • It's not always to actually shoot the deer, when you see hunters at night using spotlights to, well, spot deer. We used to do it when I was 18 as well. It was more to find and designate feeding places for the deer and then plan shooting spots based on that.

  • Oh no way, was she hilariously bad with strapon or just fingerblast you?

    Because we are talking rape and not generalised sexual abuse. Variously different definitions most doing with entering someone else's body with part of your body when they don't want to. Also, while I would never dare to put down your experiences, men are physically more powerful than women in general, and while such trauma will affect one, it won't stop that from being true. And it doesn't stop how common prison rape is. You know, men forcing their penises into the anus of other men, by force and threat of violence? It's hilarious, right, that's what you called it? "Hilarious."

    You clearly didn't watch the linked video or you'd have undersood that.

    I too was a sexually assaulted at a young age. I was like 8 maybe 9 and this kid tried dry-humping me on these gym mattresses. Then when I was like 20 I've got sexually assaulted several times by men when I was driving a taxi.

    I don't describe any of those as rape, though, much less "hilarious". Although one definitely was attempted rape. I felt his tiny little dick.

    So you still think rape is hilarious?

  • Rape isn't hilarious at all. Jokes about it can be, but that's rare compared to how frequent they are.

    Please watch this 1.32 video before downvoting me on reflex. I know a lot of folks on here hate John Oliver, but...

    Or do those jokes actually crack you up? Know any victims of rape in real life?

  • Florida surgeon ‘devastated’ over death of patient after removing liver instead of spleen

    Jump

  • Yeah there's a reason they have kinda long checklists when doing operations.

    People have had the wrong leg cut off etc. Although that's perhaps a more understandably a bureaucratic mistake instead of a surgeon mistaking a liver for a spleen. But granted, I've never cut into the human body so even though they're pretty distinct in graphics, once covered in blood and whatnot they might not look so different. Idk. But I think he should have.

  • How many days of missed sleep do you think you could hide from people?

  • This is incredibly reaffirming, thank you. The problem is either in Finland, or Finnish, or SW Finland or Finnish (we've lots of dialects and I think ours is probably one of the most rudest sounding one) or just me. But like, I'm really good at customer service, and can be very nice to people. But... I can also be really fucking nasty, I know that. And a lot of the times even too nasty for my own taste, but sometimes just hunger and loneliness really grinds ones gears and I can't help it.

    Usually I don't do it completely without reason, so I'm just "overreacting", but like in general I feel the threshold for Finns to consider something an "overreaction" is waaaayyy smaller than with any international friends I've hung with. I mean especially Anglos. Or especially Aussies, actually.

    Hell the moment I found one in Turku I spent like two days drinking and smoking with the feller. Good times. His tobacco was fucking strong, no idea where he got it. In a leathery pouch and smelled of like old tar and medieval times. Funny guy. Smoked me under the table, but I didn't have much tolerance back then.

  • Thanks for empathy. Honestly it's just like, I don't expect more. It was quite the experience, and I'd just like a little empathy from family and friend's but ugh.

    Anyway, its good to know there is some out there at least. Thank you again. Have a nice day.

  • Been there done that. First time when I was 13.

    I too, recommend avoiding it.

    You're very right in how methheads behave. But I think you're sort of making a false dichotomy a bit there as well.

    It's more like almost a waking dream at that point. The reality mixes in with the dreams, instead of just you being in one or the other.

    See this here jailcell. They denied me my meds and I was awake for three days straight. I ate my pinky bloody so I could use it as a red magic marker. Anyway. What starts out as rather complex philosophical quotes (see top left of the image) goes through simpler ones into basically ACAB with large stick letters... and then by the 78h mark or so... I could no longer read any of the text I had written on the walls. It was fucking weird, but I couldn't read. All of the marks, letters, just looked like dancing ballerina figurines, and I could not make any of them up for what they meant.

    So like, yeah, you're right in that the methheads have been awake for too long and dream things, but the dreaming happens while they're awake. The dreams mix with the waking world.

    One night missed sleep is like nothing tho. I used to pull 20+ hour shifts while driving a taxi. (Despite what you might think, there's absolutely no drivetime regulations like with HGV's, even here in Finland. Also no minimum wage, I drove on commission)

    Well written though, well described.

    Without any, 2.5 at the most.
