This is at least true for me as I’m an xennial or whatever and i use both lol n haha depending on my mood but never lmao. Lol

I wish there were dead giveaways. It would be helpful to know if I’m talking to a teen or an adult cuz my attitude in delivering how wrong they were would definitely change. Certainly i can recall some truly boneheaded beliefs i have discarded through the decades so im more forgiving if i know they’re young.

On the other hand if they’re pretending to be an adult they ostensibly want to have their opinions considered on equal terms, as peers; basically to not be preached to. If that’s their goal then isnt it kinda the point to treat their ideas as if they were offered by one? If we think of it like that, maybe it’s not super important to know someone’s age. It’s definitely helpful of course to know who youre dealing with but the downside of anonymity is also its upside. ideas are ideas no matter how old the brain is what thinks em.

Frankie and Johnny is a romance about a couple of poors who work in a diner together but now that i think about it it wasn’t a comedy and also i hate that film

Fair. I just have personal beef with jarjar. Feels like nails on chalkboard, no way around it

I can get chill and watch 5 of the 6. I refuse the jar jar movie. I heard his goddamn patois one time in theaters and it was more than enough.

I like the alternate order which mixes the two trilogies together: ep 4,5,2,3,6. No ep 1! boooooo!

I was a kiddo and i loved the ewoks. I even watched the terrible, terrible ewoks cartoon and Loved it. Eeeecheee waa waa baby!

Sorry, Lucas did that shit for lil babies like me and i ate it up.

Now you get it!

Yeah you’re probably right that it started out as a prejorative. I’ve personally embraced the term cuz fuck it if I’m gonna get called names for expressing my opinion i may as well own that shit

weeeeellllll some of those things i am compelled to defend. Mostly in the sense that two of those are terribly misrepresented. I dont count tiennamen square with those other two, but i haven’t read anything on it. So i guess i am a tankie! Anyway I’m not here to change minds so let’s leave it there

Yeah that’s horseshoe theory my man! There is a left further than liberal! It’s not like liberal is the end of the pol spec right? It’s hard to get my tone right here but the idea itself that tankies are right wing is itself one of those things I’ve side believes about the other.

Also, i don’t hate liberals, i like em! I was one even. My family’s lib. I want to help libs move left of course, like you guys wanna make me see the light. The ones who tell me my politics like they know better are the only ones who annoy me and an example of the type of commenter i tried to leave behind.

Bro your the one supporting genocide denia-

No.

Liberals aren’t my enemies though? I’m not pretending anything. Liberals are very high representation in lotsa comms and they are who i’m talking to seeing how this is a thread with a liberal complaining about me. Capice? Let’s not fight, let’s just chill today

Tankies make liberals uncomfortable because liberals believe they are the furthest left you can go before you become wrong and bad (forgetting that there are folks to their right on the political spectrum who think they are.

The worst thing for a tankie like me was running here to get away from the insane msn-pilled discourse, finding some actual leftists, only to have have leredditors chase me down sayin’ i am following them.

I mean shit I’m just trying to talk leftist ideals that haven’t been twisted into neoliberal business-school-bullshit talking points. I care bout the same shit yall do, i just don’t think the DNC is going to help us get there. That prospect does not make me happy, believe me.

Libs? If you are burning with desire to debate politics? I am begging… begging you to understand that the education in school and the news yesterday on the tv Aren’t. Acumen.(why would they be more credible than the commercials in between them?), and do not fear but embrace the idea/possibility that there’s an iota of a chance you might not actually be right.

Does this notion mean i am? No. But if you don’t think you might be wrong then you’ll likely never find out you are.

I know we’re doing star wars quotes here but ever since i noticed the lady’s legs i can only see Pyramid Head

There’s a DnD horny bard bluff check joke in here waiting to be rolled

I would watch this fanfic. Working title “arabian nights”.

I’m bracing for all the memes when bananas actually cost ten bucks soon.

NO TOUCHING!!

Lol all this time these media companies have had to change their models to align with market forces, we’ve watched them hem and haw, drag their feet, etc. this step shows they never wanted things to change at all, and they have the power and the money to keep change from happening. finally we see them at their end game, harnessing the Internets power for something so tiny. To them, the only benefit to this technology is cutting out the middleman and b bringing able packages to you without negotiations with a cable service.

Their minds are so small, but this and worse is their greatest dream. It’s a terrible, venal world that small minds lead us to isn’t it?

Wow that kinda took an unexpected turn. Doing something nice does come back around sometimes huh?
