Me haha
  • I think the important takeaway of this meme is that native speakers have mastered the language in the way it wants to be spoken, but non-natives need to master formal language first to really understand casual use fully

    I feel it as an autistic person, because even though English is my first language, I still feel like a foreigner learning a second

    Both styles are valid

    TL;DR: lol it okay

    What would you think about the Alien franchise doing a stand alone movie about the engineers and the xenomorphs?
  • Honestly, if they don't treat it as a cash grab, I'd love it. Examining and exploring villains gives us tools to learn from the worst parts of ourselves in a safe way. I tend to look at villains as cautionary tales of beings blindly following their natures or doing horrible things to achieve a goal they believe in. I believe there is always value in that.

  • Context of Marvel lore, which is common in the US at least, but I don't know where you're from, so that's a valid question

  • Uhh, I can't tell if this is a shitpost comment or not, but I'll take the bait.

    Ideas like sharing and improving the situation for the poor are perceived as dangerous to rich people because they would need to treat labor they are exploiting as people. It would cut into their profits and therefore the luxuries they enjoy

    What would you do if a scraggly homeless person knocked on your door, and all he asked was for a sandwich, a bottle of water, a bath, and perhaps a beard trim?
  • This is the first time I'm hearing plow cemeteries, and I'm not sure I'm on board with that. People usually spend time there to deal with grief and losing a little bit more of a dead loved one would be incredibly painful for a lot of folks

    Fuck golf courses though

  • Also, for anyone reading through this thinking, "I shouldn't give them money because drugs"

    I use drugs to cope with chronic pain so I can get through a workday

    I'm skilled labor and make a decent salary

    The only things separating me from a homeless person were some "fortunate" family deaths providing enough inheritance to put me through college at a good time and some lucky networking

    We should all be more humble and less judgemental of eachother's choices

  • I subscribe to a policy of cautious altruism, like a lot of folks already said. I need to keep myself and my family safe so probably not allow in the house, but I'd give food water, the hose, soap, shampoo, clean towel, and a change of clothes if I can. Maybe even some cash if I have it around to spare.

    If I have a shed or garage I'd allow them to use it to change clothes privately and offer to wash their clothes if safe. They may have residue of drugs like meth on their clothes that I'm unable handle.

    I've also got a decent amount of privilege to share.

    Be kind, be safe
