Messaging on marriage, Slight Overcome Spoilers 

Spotting some potentially damaging messaging here. Husband flies off the handle, rages at wife. The wife has to come back and flatter him before he apologizes.

Esp. when it cones to the reality of how isolated and sheltered the audience tends to be, this could present a damaging message to the audience. The onus shouldn't be on the woman to coerce the man to apologize for what he does wrong.

Yes, the woman was at fault. For her part, she wasn't being very understanding. But nothing she did deserved the backlash she received. Even so, she should just apologize, no need to grovel.

Maybe I'm being too sensitive on this point but it just seems off to me. Am I wrong for noticing this?

Journalists discover their "credible" reporting is being caught up in Twitter's misinformation filters

Acting is par for the course, but that's not saying anything new. It's always been somewhere between & ' standards.

Okay, strong start. This is literally a whole new level for films right here, from a cinematic standpoint.

Not sure if this is a better movie from a story standpoint, but this is the best directed film I have ever seen.

Wanna do something cheaper? I promise it's harder, but it works:

Be a better person.

Something else I find funny: people think that wearing stuff attractive people wear will make them more attractive.

It's wayyy easier to believe a narrative when it makes you the victim. Doesn't really matter how credible it is.

Show thread

Like there's no point in being fearful unless there's a legitimate reason to fear, and an objective way to detect this is by looking at statistics.

Any statistics on the chance of being shot by a white officer during a traffic stop while black? I have not seen any, but I might seek some out tonight. In the meantime, best believe I won't be quaking in my boots and writing a note to my family just because a cop pulled me over.

Me: Why should I be fearful of a threat when you can't demonstrate that it's credible?

Mom: ... I'm trying to help you ...

Show thread

Mom: Remember you're black when white people pull you over.

Me: Why?

Mom: Because they might shoot you.

Me: How often do black people get shot by white people? What percentage?

Mom: Okay, go ahead and believe racism doesn't exist.

@pasture The key is to become an abstract thought being. Manipulate your body as a string puppet the same way you do a keyboard.

Sometimes what I think and what I type are two different things and that's frustrating
