Silence (2016), dir. Martin Scorsese

It does not take place in China

Pistachios are yummy so it sucks that they're objectively the most evil nut

looking at reviews of my favorite movie

The users on this app are really nice I posted a picture of my cat with no tags and I already got 2 comments

It being another Chinese platform is the whole point. It's funny and sends a message that no one cares about the government's stupid sinophobic fearmongering.

Xiaohongshu

Is that where the stupid fucking Instagram Reels dollar got its catchphrase

I'm glad this guy is going to die soon, likely feeling confused and disoriented from dementia while also hopefully remembering that his arrogance and abject failure as a president lead to a second Trump term

Mostly because it felt a lot more idealistic, a lot of dumbass liberal theories that you're supposed to take seriously. All the history classes I've taken have basically been straight up materialist analysis all the way through.

btw i got a good grade so this isn't cope/seethe

Okay controversial take that I might be completely wrong about coming up

Sociology kinda sucks

Like maybe it's just because I took a really shitty online class where the prof was barely involved but it seems stupid and fake compared to my preferred field, History

And ironically Marx and Marxism comes up a lot more often in History classes

I imagine this gets better past intro level classes but any Sociologyheads here have thoughts

Just in time for Windows 10 to lose support in October 2025 and for me to never switch to Windows 11 because it sucks and I hate it

I know Marx was all about “Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered” but I think we gotta get rid of the guns until we can end capitalism and alienation and then maybe give the guns back after that, shit's fucked

Love that he included the 70s in this. Famous era for optimistic, apolitical movies with no sexual or racial themes.

This feels like the last chance to do revolution

With Republicans taking over every branch of government soon I feel like if something bigger doesn't erupt from all the anti-rich sentiment in common people at this very moment we're cooked for at least 4 years

And btw without a strong left at all in this country I doubt a spontaneous revolution would even be "good" and would probably lead to some fucked up right-populist fascism or something but hey there's like a chance it's not that

My least woke opinion is that I'm pro-Standard Time

When I found out that British baked beans are in some kind of thin soupy tomato sauce rather than the delicious barbeque brown sugar sauce of American baked beans the hate towards British food made a lot more sense to me. Why do they put that shit in everything

Lmao fuck off I know you're not really pro school shootings

Word your shit better

"Only thing they can do except suicide" shut up. There's tons of things you can do instead of shooting up a fucking school. Not that I can't empathize with bullied kids but come the fuck on

Though this is probably just irony I'm missing

I think I like being drunk more than I like being high. Unfortunate.
