Idk, some leftist people (including minorities) are energized and motivated, so it’s important not to get stuck in some weird self-defeating trap. Political up and downs happen every generation. Don’t fall for the doomer BS, it’s important to keep following through with your personal goals and persevere. Find a community and volunteer, take care of each other.

Ultimately people should seek to close gaps with others, and try to find common ground, while acknowledging that there are some values which cannot be compromised, like sacrificing someone’s humanity and (personal/psychological) safety.

Yeah, I like sprawling places and country living. I used to describe it as suburban, but that’s the wrong word. People can do as they please, if you like what you like, more power to you. I hope city centers and near by places become more affordable as I know that’s an issue for many.

Except driving was awful because everything is so pedestrian leaning, which is fine actually because EU cities are too densely packed to lean towards more car use. I know that’s by design, and I am okay with people choosing a design they like. I am just saying that I don’t like their design, so I choose to live somewhere else. Simple.

Hard disagree, lol. Judging by the downvotes, this is what many aren’t ready to hear 😂

Not everyone wants to live in some EU places because those areas are too densely packed. Vienna has been voted the most livable city many years in a row, but most residential areas I saw were filled with apartments, condos or townhomes.

Tbh, some of these scenes were pretty mind boggling to me even as a kid. Never understood what people have against different bodies.

I think the set and costumes are on point for a satirical punk comedy.

The 90s in general were pretty bad for portrayal of trans and lgb+ characters. Remember Ace Ventura, first one?

I agree, though, close minded people ruin everything.

Ghostbusters 2016 is under appreciated for what it accomplishes over the original, the recent one with the grandkids is so generic and bland.

Tank Girl, it got shit reviews when it came out, but has grown a cult following since then, https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/tank_girl

I am also partial to Dude Where’s My Car

Why? It’s their life, unless they’re asking you for money or favors, it shouldn’t even be a concern. Maybe they’re nihilist or suicidal, what does any of it matter?

Judging people for how those people spend their money.

Hear me out, poverty and wealth inequality is a systemic societal issue, and just like one person recycling plastic bottles isn’t going to solve pollution or global warming, just like that one person doing charity or whatever isn’t going to solve systemic wealth inequality.

Tax wealthier people at higher rates, but don’t judge someone for getting a gold toilet after they’ve paid their fair share to society.

Life is all bullshit and made up anyway, and if someone’s self actualization involves getting a gold toilet, then who am I to say no? Not everyone wants a gold toilet, and no one should try to get one by ruining someone else’s life. If your money is ethically sourced, and you’ve paid your taxes, get two gold toilets, who cares.

Yeah social media is great at sneak advertising, that’s not an accomplishment for the Barbie movie though. If someone enjoyed it, that’s all that matters. Is it the best movie of its kind? Not by a long shot, but that’s neither here nor there.

I have a different exposure to feminist movies, so I guess I use that as a barometer. I think older movies with the same themes as Barbie were already highly successful in providing a nuanced commentary on gender power and equality in society, and the role of women, sometimes chosen and otherwise. So that’s Legally Blonde, Persepolis, Wild (w/ Reese Witherspoon), Mystic Pizza, Bridget Jones Diary, and Waitress and some others I am definitely forgetting.

Most people are incapable of admitting they like comfort food, but they shouldn’t get to pretend that that’s exactly what it is, doing so just degrades the quality of the arts.

Barbie movie, it just didn’t have any interesting message or pov that isn’t already repeated on a weekly basis in the NYT articles

Edit lol don’t read my comment if you’re too sensitive and easily butt hurt, but it answers the question in the title 🤷‍♀️

The comments in this thread are practically Islamophobic and naive.

When you travel to another country, just abide by its culture and customs.

Like you cant go to India and disrespect cows, or now eat beef in public.

The comments are also naive because they show how unaware the commenters are about what actually goes on in rich countries and events for affluent people.

If people can protest for higher taxes on the wealthy, and ensure that money is spent on social services that would be a great start. I don’t know about other countries, but why the fuck can’t America do a Nordic model of socialism?

A curse
