(that literally argument for double standards was ridiculous) what
I believe Class is referring to the discussing on women being held to a higher standard, where Class argued that women should be held to the same standard as man less it be unfair to women.
oh you mean the "discussion" where i was purposely being a foil to his own reverse chauvinism
"Reverse chauvinism"? Eh, I agree to the assertion that all people should be held to the same standard, regardless of race of sex.
there's a reason we use the word "reverse" in these contexts
if you wanted to convey that someone was being racist against white people, how would you put it
you could just say "racist" and you wouldn't be wrong, but that doesn't necessarily get the message across
"reverse racism" is three syllables less than "racism against white people," and it conveys the same message, and only pedants would dick around over the semantics or implications of it imo
I understand that much; my point is, factors such and sex and race shouldn't be taken into account when deciding the character of a person. I think that women are wrongly held to a higher standard, while men are held to a lesser standard. We shouldn't call women "bitches" for being assertive, nor men "pussies" for deferring to others. We are all people, and we should support that which makes the most sense. Not to say you were wrong for using "reverse" in this context, I merely didn't understand the point you were meaning to convey.

Gymnastics
Do you have to check yourself into a hospital for every Olympic season?
I can watch those sports, but I still rarely do so.
Interesting. I've watched gymnastic events, but that's mostly because of people I've known being on gymnastic teams. What attracts you to the sports?
I'm only into sports involves remaining around family. I have other things to blow my time on.
That's cool. Is it a longstanding history, or

analyzing a movie means recognizing it's not real, which you shouldn't fucking do
really all that needs to be said
you might never be able to attain that true immersion, but you should still try to
idk, I can both appreciate the skill the actors have and immerse myself in the world at the same time That also means also realizing that some actors take me out of the world too tho

i thought i created an air of acceptance, too, but i guess i just don't
i understand that people don't necessarily want a third parent, but i think some people need one
A friend isn't someone you necessarily tell "everything" to. A therapist, that's who you tell everything to. That's the role I seem to play to most of my friends. Not sure if that's good or not. Parental dictation requires a degree of judgement, and that's not a bad thing; some people do need parental advice outside of their actual parents, especially if their parents haven't properly taught them what they need. But many children hide things from their parents for fear of judgement; that's why it's nice for them to know there's someone who won't like or dislike them any less for their thoughts. My #1 rule is that I won't say anything I wouldn't say to someone's face; and I have gone back and recounted things I've said about my friends, good or bad. It inspires confidence in them that I will always be honest to them, regardless of the situation, without being unduly rude to them.

Literally look at the purpose of a story from the most basic, caveman standpoint.
why in god's name would i do that
Because I'm arguing what the point of every story is. The meta aspects are a perversion of the inherent purpose of the story (total immersion), just like a lie is a perversion of the inherent purpose of language (communicating thoughts).
I can't do that unless I reference a time before that perversion existed.
i can be totally immersed in a film and still be analyzing the technical aspects
sucks that you can't i guess
Would you consider them two separate aspects though?
sure
i think it becomes easier to combine the two the more you watch the film, though
As long as you can separate the fictional aspects created by the film and the technical aspects proposed by the director and investors, it's fine. I still disagree with your belief in there being no such thing as "bad acting"; the best way I could explain this context would be to say that it tips the viewing experience away from "immersion" into "technical reading" in such a way that you don't accurately experience the world the creator meant it to be experienced (within a certain margin of error of course, given that no two people view things the samw way).

Like here, I tend to be very un-judgemental irl, so my friends have 0 issues with telling me their issues. If anything, people tend to tell me more than I'm comfortable with solely because they know I'll tell them things without being mean, but also without lying to them.
i'm not mean to my friends either
It's not an issue of being mean; I'm not nice either. I just create the atmosphere of acceptance, regardless of thought or credence. My mother herself (a hardcore Republican, climate change denial and everything) couldn't even figure out my stance on issues without me outright telling her. It's why, optimistically, I'd hope to be a judge one day. Realistically, I'll be dead before that's possible.

because i'm a silly child, the fact that you've finally embraced anti-natalism makes me feel all giddy inside
now when will you embrace veganism
As soon as I overcome the ingrained idea that vegetables are a side dish and not a main course.

I do think soccer hasn't been popular enough in the US, though, and I'm glad that it's becoming more popular.
Does MLS have its own dedicated channel for the sport like MLB Network?
No, but I watch MLB on ESPN and FOX so I don't give a shit about dedicated networks. If it's locked behind a paywall, I just ignore it.
MLB on Fox is great, but ESPN can eat shit
100% agreed, but unfortunately those are the only channels I have access to.

this is the first negative post i've seen about the show, ever
thank you
Its biggest issue is that it's too overbearing on issues that are pretty obvious, and tries too hard on randumb humor. The Szechuan Sauce in the April Fools episode is the most obvious of the latter issue.

Ultimately this is an anecdotal thing, but I know the intimate details of all of my bffs lives
i mean, so do i—but it's different, because people tend to filter it in ways that make them look better
when my friends tell me intimate stories, it's obvious to me that 40-60% of it is fabricated or embellished, partially because they know i can be a very judgmental person, and i'm not afraid to chastise my friends for doing some some really dumb shit
and all my friends are at an age where pretty much all they do is dumb shit, as you can likely imagine
it's not that i get angry at them, but the way they are, it's clear to me that they don't like making me upset
so i can feel the eggshells they walk around when speaking to me, and it just pisses me off—it's like i'm not even talking to a real person anymore, almost like a caricature of a person i once knew
the internet is the only place where i feel like people are truly open and unafraid to express themselves, so the notion that your "real life" friends are closer to you will always be a joke to me
Like here, I tend to be very un-judgemental irl, so my friends have 0 issues with telling me their issues. If anything, people tend to tell me more than I'm comfortable with solely because they know I'll tell them things without being mean, but also without lying to them. For example, the friends and that I have and my family (extended, to relevance) all know why I don't like Trump (including those that voted for him), but all accept it as [at least] a difference in political views. On second though, maybe I'm just the kind of politician that cons people into thinking that I represent them (aka the worst kind. the only good kind properly states their stances and wins based on their own merits).

Maybe, but that's not something you recognize when you view the film. There are no actors. Harrison Ford isn't in a studio running from a prop, Indiana Jones is desperately sprinting away from a giant boulder that's about to crush him. The actor doesn't exist, and neither do any meta aspects like film quality or writing mechanics. It might be enjoyable to list off the tropes you can see, but it detracts from the nature of a story itself, not to mention viewing pleasure.
so i mulled this post over and i've determined that absolutely none of this is true
Disagree. It's something you can determine in an analysis of the film, but ultimately you should be immersed in the characters, not the actors. That's not to say there aren't actors you enjoy regardless of role (for me, Kevin Spacey and Jake Gyllenhaal), but the purpose of acting is to create the belief of people in a world outside/within ours beyond the confines of a film.

archer is dogshit
I mean, a lot of the humor is derived from the fact that Archer is a terrible person
It's a "laugh at him, not with him" situation. H. Jon Benjamin is one of my favorite VAs tho.
even if i liked the show's humor, the art style is headachingly ugly
i feel the same way about rick and morty
I actually like Archer's art style I do agree with Rick and Morty tho, and the longer it takes for them to start S3, the more I realize the show is pretty shitty.

tbh I'm like the opposite of Class
I just want people to like me (not love, that's too much tbh), while Class likes being put down
<3 u tho
i'm sure you realize, it would be a lot easier for people to like you if you were less reluctant to make friends over the internet, right
It's not that I'm reluctant, I just don't believe that friendship is possible solely through electronic means. The closest one can be is "someone I like", or "an associate". While those terms are somewhat derogatory for someone you've spoken to face-to-face, it's one of the highest honers that one who isn't known personally can have.
just could never agree with this perspective, considering how much closer i am to my internet friends than i am to my in-person friends
not to throw them under the bus or anything, but over the years i've only become more and more detached from them—the barriers we put up on the internet are ultimately no different from the barriers we put up in the physical world
lately, i feel like i know my in-person friends less and less the more i talk to them
Ultimately this is an anecdotal thing, but I know the intimate details of all of my bffs lives And while I also know some intimate details of the lives of people I know online, the digital barrier keeps me from associating with them more closely.

have you seen wonder woman or do you care
I really want to see it, but none of my friends care enough to invite me to a showing I might take my dad to it for father's day, alongside a good lunch. Straight up, I love DC Comics so I would have seen it even if it was meh.
