Great movie that isn’t appreciated enough

As a big burly (but cis) bloke who would be described as a “bear” in some circles, there’s nothing more fun than supporting my female friends then returning the “compliment” back to these men. It’s funny how quickly they find it repulsive and it can be quickly turned into a learning experience for them.

That when I step away from being online/social media/horror show that is the rest of the world, I live in a great place, have a good life, can touch grass and that reality is more truthful than anything online.

Jefferies and Schumer.

It should be pointed out that it’s not like a parliamentary opposition as seen in many other democracies with political discourse over a dispatch box with the leader of parliament.

This isn’t something I’ve seen online either tbh. But the UK thing was certainly very popular having talked to people in their 30s-40s, though admittedly this was about 25 years ago. Nowadays life is much harder so just the idea of maybe one day affording a house and having survivable wages is more of concern! The dream of owning a pub is so far above what current 30yos could reach. Plus, pubs are all owned by breweries these days so the of the old freehold pub has died.

In Japan, it’s something I’ve seen several times in Japanese documentaries on NHK, which have been translated. Again, I don’t know if this is still the dream of the younger folks - it was 50yos that wanted to do that previously. The US equivalent was “the American Dream” that people still wish for, even though it’s unlikely. It’s a similar feeling, or hope, that for most won’t come true, no matter what they do. These aren’t “specific online spaces”. These are the hopes and dreams for a better future - if you need to have those, you’re making a statement.

You don’t need to read the language to understand what they’re meaning by it (I don’t speak Japanese) and there’s examples in other countries of this too, including English (in the UK it used to be the dream to run a pub). Anyone who “has a dream” where they escape the rat race and/or becomes their own boss and/or moves to “the country” or even out of the country is making a political statement with every one of those thoughts/dreams.

THAT is the subtext, not the actual text. It requires no deep understanding of verbal/written language, just an understanding of human communication which is more nuanced than simply what we say or write.

Everyone complains about their own country. The Japanese complain about Japan all the time too - the whole “salaryman running off to start a ramen shop” dream is a complaint about th country. Just because you can’t see it means you’re not understanding subtext.

It’s not about the physical size, it’s about its oversized influence especially in online spaces. Plus we’re all writing/reading English at this moment so there’s an anglosphere bias.

Hey now, don’t kink-shame downed pilots. It’s just the way they like their lovin’

Sauce: pielot

Fun fact: if by some miracle you find Fosters anywhere Australia, if you actually buy it and drink it, you get instantly deported to Manus Island because you’re clearly not from around here. Or worse, a pome.

Are you on drugs?

Yeah nah cunt. You don’t include Alaska in that as it’s pulling a lot of weight.

Contiguous US is 8.08. Still slightly larger than Australia but only byy a dick hair.

Ehhh…yeah but all of that can be faked though…

You’re lying about your age for a reason kiddo,.you’ve got to do the whole thing or nothing at all.

Have you tried making an account, lying about your age and signing in?

You might avoid sales tax (like GST or VAT) but you’ll be hit with an import tax instead which can often be higher than the sales tax.

Dag, pash, mole, cobber, drongo.

Rarely hear any of them these days.

I have some bad news for you…

Whilst not a big fan of Horizon Worlds (partly because of it’s lack of availability when the Quest 3 launched in Australia, and apathy to bother switching my VPN to US), it’s still a shame that a VR “3rd place” is shutting down.
