your problem is you think if you communicate with clarity and earnestness that people will actually understand you

Or we can actually listen to Palestinians rather than the people who actually benefit from the genocide regardless of if they did the bare minimum of draft dodging or condemning the genocide.

its actually easy to de-enshittify your digital experience all you need to do is install this browser extension and this browser extension and this browser extension and input this custom script into the advanced box and go into your system settings and reconfigure all these options you didnt know existed and change your entire workflow and switch to this alternative operating system and this alternative web browser and this alternative chat client and this alternative word processor and this alternative- sorry that one turned out to be malware delete that one okay now double check your task manager for unwanted background processes and element block these ads and invest in a good VPN and append all your searches with AI blocking keywords and wait a few years until everything you just did becomes shitty too so you can do it all over again okay kitten. its literally that easy.

the average person with bad taste can be into some extremely banal garbage but when you get close enough to someone with otherwise good taste that they start a recommendation by going off on a preamble about how they don't necessarily recommend it you know you're seconds away from hearing about some real torturously wretched dogshit

friend from work will have you watch a two hour movie where you can feel every second as it passes by, but enemployed movie mutual will put you on the kind of shit that feels like crawling on cobblestone until emaciated

[toskarin]

people are reading this as the latter friend recommending dry, pretentious cinema. that's not the case. not that kind of situation. you're getting no enrichment out of this. I need you to understand they're making you watch Gooby because "it's kinda good"

the problem with movie remakes is that they always remake something that was already good, meaning at worst you ruin it and at best your remake is largely redundant. to make a truly good remake you need to start with source material that is absolute dogwater. ignore the pull of nostalgia. redeem the sins of moviemaking past.

I'm perfectly fine with people criticizing my favorite stories and frequently do it myself but can you stop being so boring about it

"This scene made me so uncomfortable" given the subject matter, it would be really, really badly written if it wasn't.

yang guozhong trying his absolute goddamn best to warn the stupid emperor about An but the stupid bastard won't LISTEN,

THIRTEEN MILLION PEOPLE DEAD IN EIGHT YEARS OH MY GODDD AN LUSHAN I WILL SEE YOU IN DIYU‼️‼️‼️‼️

[kopionkin]

bro why is everyone surnamed Li 季 like certainly the emperor AND the Xi chieftain cannot BOTH be 季 .

[kopionkin]

cdramas have nothing on the An Lushan Wikipedia page omg so much conspiracy

[kopionkin]

man, fuck this An Lushan guy

[kopionkin]

also not to blame a woman for anything but Yang Guifei was lowkey dicking around too much with this guy and Emperor Xuanzong was just like "nahhhh that's my girl and my girl's pet don't worry about it" cmon guys. youre running THE TANG DYNASTY, this is not how Wu Zetian raised you,

[kopionkin]

no but like An Lushan (according to Wikipedia at least) was on demon time ok. dressing up as a baby for Yang Guifei and the emperor. openly disrespecting the crown prince by not bowing to him, constantly attacking the Khitan and Xi to the point that his actions caused them to execute PRINCESSES ROYAL in retaliation, organizing a conspiracy, being bad at his actual JOB of defending against the Khitans and his rebellion kickstarted the Tang decline i mean like this man was a VILLAINNNNN but then again he lost the rebellion so some of the recorded history HAS to be biased against him
