When contrarianism leads to bad taste in music

I understand your point and frustration but the impasse we are at here I believe is that the avg hexbear user would claim liberal democracy will ALWAYS trend in this direction. The system is what it does. Sure, I think it’s good to elect strong socialist-adjacent progressives in your local areas to improve the life of working class people, but (someone correct me I’m mistaken) the philosophical position here is that the end result of the system is always fascism and capitalist dictatorship. It will always trend to this conclusion.

What’s even more ridiculous is they were ostensibly anti Imperialist back in the day, at least anti establishment. Their Zionism is a disgrace and a stain on their legacy.

This is again similar to what the system claims vs. what the system produces/actually functions. We do have elections, but we also have like 66% voter turnout and we also have studies indicating massively popular policies never get passed (e.g. universal healthcare, tax billionaires, etc). Free press is debatable. All US mainstream news outlets are owned by the billionaire class, hardly any of them speak pro Palestine positions. Manufacturing Consent does a good job explaining how the US supposedly free press functions to ultimately peddle state department talking points and status quoisms.

Unforgivable

Station Eleven. Based on a novel. Really hit me hard, it’s a beautiful show.

Honest noob science question: is gravity as defined with Einstein’s space-time time definition mean it ceases to be an actual “force” …? Like, two masses affecting each other through gravity is not like two magnets but rather space-time “bending”?

I wonder, then, what is the precise moment where the supposed benefit of pouring coffee up your butt outweighs the supposed risk of pouring coffee up your butt?

Curious.

Looking into it…

It’s so goooood

The vibes in the first half were so dreadfully good but the movie did veer toward disappointment as more plot needed to be revealed imo

Gotta update the recipe to include even more sawdust!

Jet Grind Radio is GOATed

Please just make society good instead of bad, why is this so difficult? Universal healthcare, please!

Diane, I was browsing Hexbear and encountered some major disrespect from one “Dirt_Owl”.

Ugh, I hope she gets knocked the fuck out

“slightly leaning into that” is a very relatable phrase

2001 and The Shining are enough to put Kubrick at the top for me (I am an elitist) but easy rewatchability goes to Spielberg for sure, Jurassic Park, Jaws, E.T., Indiana Jones, etc.

Nolan is by far the least impressive of the 4 but his movies are entertaining.

Nothing more embarrassing than a gamer

Alternatively, simply punch the nazis

This feels like satire, I can’t even tell anymore
