Essentially nothing. People on here tend to be alarmist when it comes to it, but when you actually dig into the negative claims, they are all either vastly overblown or misconstrued.

Who’s in the wrong here?

Everyone in this thread who is too stupid to realize this is fake rage bait.

What the fuck is wrong with your penis?

I feel like the problem with 8 was how ham-fisted it was. Like, I get wanting to break the norms, go a different direction, and not rely on nostalgia to direct your story. But maybe taking what everyone loved from the first movies, going “actually all this stuff you loved is SHIT and you were stupid for ever liking it” and then literally burning it all in front of everyone was the wrong way to go about that.

It felt like the writer held some deep seeded hatred for Star Wars and its fans, and went out of their way to make that known.

I mean, personally I started rolling my eyes when I saw the comment section almost immediately turned into .ml users simping HARD for China and North Korea, despite literally no one bringing them up.

Oh totally agree with car culture. Walkable cities are fantastic. But again, it’s not like cities were more walkable in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. Hell, if anything, cities have become MORE walkable in recent decades than they were back then.

It raises it exclusively for the Costume Institute at the Met, which the group that preserves historical clothing. I just… Fuck. Are you really serious? How the hell do you look at that amount of money, look at the people starving on the streets, and conclude that this is a worthwhile function. Thats just fucking insane.

Sorry, we can’t afford to build new housing or addiction centers, but thank God we can continue to preserve an evening dress from the 1940’s. That’s truly what matters in society.

Right up there with whatsherface and theuglyone.

I’m sorry, but I do not think that raising money for high fashion is in any way important given the current problems the world is facing. It’s like asking for donations for fancy new curtains while your fucking house is on fire.

We do not need high fashion to survive. If every fashion designer dropped dead tomorrow, I promise you society would not crumble. We need healthcare. We need housing. We need our basic fucking needs met. Until that time, I will call events like this a collosal waste of time and money.

I’m not picking up a psp.

I’m just emulating it on my steam deck.

“pEOple WeRe jUsT mORe ActiVe iN thE PasT”

I call bullshit. Like sure, in the early 1900’s and before, people were more active. But in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s? We had cars. People still used them a lot instead of walking. People still chose to sit and watch TV, or read, or listen to music. People still worked in offices and spent the majority of their day sitting. The average number of steps between a person back then and today is really not that different. Maybe a bit higher, but no where even fucking close to explaining the obesity epidemic.

Claims that the extreme increase in obesity is simply due to increased sedentary lifestyle just fucking reeks of lobbied attempts to shift the blame from the real problem.

It’s the food, stupid. High-volume processed bullshit with low-cost additives and filler ingredients SWARMED the shelves and replaced nearly every good product with unhealthy convenience with a longer shelf-life. Our portion sizes didn’t even change that much, it’s just the quality of what we’re eating has dropped tremendously.

You can’t even fully escape it by trying to only buy fresh food. Modern fruits and vegetables have been bred to be full of sugars and starches. Raw chicken is pumped full of salt and preservatives, sometimes making up more than 30% of its weight.

They are poisoning people and then blaming them for the consequences.

It’s still officially spring until June 21st.

And then at age 13 they turn into underwear.

Imagine you have a house with a fuck ton of annoying lights and you live in an HOA neighborhood. All your neighbors and the HOA have complained and threatened fines against you if you do not remove the lights. Literally all the people around you have asked, begged, and straight up demanded that you take down the lights. Buuuuuut… A foreign billionaire has offered you, personally, $200k a year to NOT take down the lights AND will cover any fines the HOA places on you AND hire you private security so that none of your neighbors can complain to you about the lights.

What would you do? Would you make an effort to take down the lights? Why? You’d be losing money and it’s a lot easier to NOT do something than it is to do it. You might even agree that the area would be better without the lights, but again, why would you bother? You have every incentive to not fix the problem, and zero incentive to replace it.

Thats why. Americans may demand healthcare, but that’s worthless. Our government officials no longer respond to, or care about, our demands. They don’t even pretend to anymore.

CORRECT. THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN MAD ABOUT BRINGING YOUR OWN FOOD TO THE AIRPORT. THAT HAS LITERALLY ALWAYS BEEN ALLOWED. THE ONLY THING THEY DONT ALLOW IS LIQUIDS. SOLID FOOD IS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

THIS ISNT A HIDDEN FACT OR LOOPHOLE OR ANYTHING, ITS PRETTY STANDARD INFORMATION SO IM STRUGGLING TO UNDERSTAND HOW YOU COULD FUCK THAT UP.

Wasn’t this done months ago? It’s not a “new” plaque anymore.

If you do anything OTHER than ignore them, your number gets marked as “active” and then sold to other scammers. I roll my eyes at the people who gleefully brag about all the ways they “fuck with spammers” without realizing that by simply answering the phone, they have already given them what they want. Sure, the low level worker on the phone (who might actually be a slave) might want you to fall for a scam and give them money, but the people running these call centers are perfectly fine if all they get is confirmation that you have an active number which can then be sold to other call centers.

Stop answering spam/scam calls.

“I’m trapped in a sewer with a confessed arsonist!”

There will be no official effort to relocate. What will happen is that more and more areas of the city will get flooded/abandoned and areas outside the city will get built up. Not to the same extent of course; the rate of housing/businesses that get condemned will outpace the rate of new construction until the city is a shell of a it’s former self.

The waiting area before going into a massive laser tag arena.
