There’s nothing of substance in what you said other than some weird fantasy of an apocalypse or civil war. I can say “America is going in the wrong direction” “We need a strong leader” “Our country is going to shit”
I can say all that and you could slap whatever political stance you’d like over it. What you said could be a lefty saying it, could be a right nut. No civil war is gonna happen, Joe Biden is gonna be status quo just like the politicians before him |

01.22.21 | "How was the deal shitty, ive never heard one person be able to explain why."
1. The negotiations were hijacked by the EU at our expense, because of this, we did not benefit as much as we should, not that Obama cared at all.
2. The nuclear deal put the deals timeframe at 15 years. A ludicrously short time period in which Iran would have enough time to quickly reverse if their Uranium enrichment works well. However, if it were extended to say, 30 years, then Iran would be so used to the plan that they wouldn't imagine going against it. 15 years is just not enough, especially for a government as two-faced as Iran (the irony is not lost on me).
3. The deal did not dive into other aspects that are concerning. Israel was not given a seat at the table, and they damn well should have, especially considering this deal affected them. Even if Israel were just to "nope" everything, they still should've been there. Not to mention the fact that the EU didn't try to force Iran to cease their constant conflicts with Israel. The constant enrichment of Uranium without the usual sanctions gives Iran money that they can use to fund terrorist cells within and around Israel, they don't need to have nukes to cause damage. In effect, we have begun funding our own allies destruction, without us knowing.
4. The dispute resolution process is garbage. It relies on the complaining party to wait 35 days while the Joint Commission oversees the complaint, then the UN Security Council is given 30 days to find a resolution to the problem. If all fails, then we can impose sanctions and Iran gets to cease holding back its nuclear obligations. Even if sanctions are re-imposed, not all countries are required to follow the sanctions and if disagreements arise between two of P5+1 countries, then our intimidation factor is lost. As we saw here, when we backed out of the deal, the entire UN coalition went against us and we were backed into a corner where, by the term of Biden, we had no choice but to reenter the deal. It can be said that our actions were not defensible, but frankly, the UN and EU have a tendency to be far too biased towards Iran over us. Whose to say that, when we have a legitimate issue that isn't resolved through proper channels; that the UN (who has Saudi Arabia on it's human rights council) just says "well come on just get back in the deal" and pussyfoots out of the situation. What happens after the 15 years? We needed to put our foot way down, and we didn't.

01.24.21 | can we talk abt how awful brunch is, as a concept? it's like the perfect lib meal. can't decide on anything so you gotta have two whole menus smashed together n put an extra load on the restaurant to stock certain ingredients just to give YOUR upper middle class, blue check on twitter, yass kween, i have gay n black n brown friends, the free market is good actually ass a serving of french toast at 12pm |

01.24.21 | "Season 2 was a huge letdown besides the Manson episode." I liked it after I accepted BTK just wasn't showing up in the narrative. That dude's Manson impression is pretty golden. Season 1 was definitely strongest but I'm not sure what else they were meant to do in the second season. I think the show is doing something weird and not necessarily right in the way that they're building up to BTK though, cause in relation to the show's timeline, he doesn't get caught for another several years. Unless we were due a pretty huge time jump somewhere. But then again, we don't even know if the show gets another season.
"people find murders/rapists/general psychopaths fascinating" Maybe fascinating, but imo very far from endearing or good. Like "how could people be so fucked up". Idk, I think violence is too glorified and sensationalized too often sometimes. Like "Oh you killed a bunch of innocent people? You get a noir like mystique and a cool nickname." People need to do better with that shit and condemn it at every possible turn. |

01.24.21 | "People need to do better with that shit and condemn it at every possible turn."

01.24.21 | @caliggy nah see that's not brunch proper. brunch, the cultural phenomenon, is a bougie-ass restaurant serving both breakfast dishes and lunch dishes at the same time of day (often 11a-2p), and a customer (usually retired rich people who arent being worked to the bone at that time) can choose from an expanded menu.

If creators choose to go that root, more power to em. I just get afraid that certain creators of entertainment will be too afraid to unleash their creative vision out of fear those who don't like sensationalized violence will come after them.
Also thank God about the Waffle House. Because if I had to choose between social outcasting and my usual Burger/Waffle/Hash brown combo at Wafflehouse my choice would be very obvious.
Also I looked it up and apparently alcohol has to be involved for it to be brunch and I am straightedge so I guess I'm good. |

joining this discussion with minimal understanding of what's going on but: sensationalized violence isn't a problem, at least not most of the time. what is the problem is that americans are a generally undereducated audience 9esp. when compared to the rest of the world) so if we take something like, say, a mobster movie, where the protagonist is the main center of the narrative, and they do some heinous shit, most consumers of that medium will rationalize the violence done by the mobster as justified because "they're the good guy." nuance in media is often missed by american audiences, and a lot of them don't want to interrogate the things they watch, they just want to be entertained. thus, media violence can in a way become harmful in such a place since there is such an easy justification of "____ was done because ____ are the good guys."

01.24.21 | @Caliggy, but how is undirected violence really useful? It's fun? Well, I agree in part. But then you have to sit there and look at yourself and think about why it's fun and is it a good thing that it's fun to you. I mean we're all animals, probably with base urges such as violence, but also, there's a very tangible dissonance between our innate animality and the more structured society we aspire to. I feel the latter should be better encouraged. |

01.24.21 | @madrigal: I agree with you. I guess I feel that both the creator and the audience have responsibilities around the process. Say A Serbian Film. I think something like that is very tacky and in poor taste. But something like The Revenant uses the violence to a clear end. |

If there are consequences, then I accept them in return for creators being allowed to make whatever they want as long as it isn't physically harming anyone without their consent. |

01.24.21 | Million I disagree about gore movies, i think that they serve a really interesting role. they provide like a really insane separation from reality, they force the viewer to understand that whay they're seeing could never be real and using that sharp break from reality for horror |

Except it fucking could. Lmao people are brutally killed irl everyday all over the world. Mfs do heinous shit to people and shoot and torture and rape and chop people up and that stuff all HAPPENS. Maybe not with crazy contraptions like Saw or some such, but people bleed the same ways and they are hurt the same ways. Plenty of unfortunate text, photo, and video documentation on the internet can corroborate that. So I feel like people should be responsible in their depictions of violence instead just putting it out there just to offend or shock or tantalize I guess. Like I'm not anti-violence in media at all, I just think a recontextualization is necessary. |

Uhh don’t a bunch of old fucks complain about heavy music making people aggressive? Your concepts about violence in movies are the same ones people apply to music, to videogames, etc. Not everyone that listens to X music, watches X films or plays X videogames had a fucked up childhood or is a mentally disturbed person... |

01.24.21 | In terms of sheltering or making media more pc in America, that’s already happened/happening. That’s why so many French films(or other foreign films) get so much flak and controversy because their society isn’t as socially conservative as the whole US.

It's an aspect of life, and in an honest culture, all aspects of life should be represented. "Presented with nuance and care" are the operative words here.

That is very true. There was a school shooting in my town 2 years ago and the way people in my workplace talked about it, the way they started rumors as it was ongoing, some making jokes about it. They all sounded like they were spreading some juicy gossip while talking about a situation where I believe two kids were killed... it was really surreal. This is before we saw the news only news articles that didn’t have all the details at that time |
