I swear to God if I see one more person just straight out mocking Homeric text for naming the sea "wine-dark" instead of "blue" or why he says that the dark haired sheep are "violet" or honey "greenish" I am gonna flip

*movie with women main characters comes out*

Women: This isn’t good female representation, this is pandering. The heroine is a typical high school mean girl and thinks being a girlboss is peak feminism. The writers clearly wanted to write a strong woman before writing a good character or a story. If this is how all women are supposed to be, I’m offended.

Yes. I want to see characters that represent real women, in all of our rich variety, showing both our virtues and our failings.

Men tend to like female main characters, OP. Just as long as they’re good characters

If you want a corporate state/military in your SF, I came up with a somewhat streamlined version of the Japanese corporate hierarchy that could be a useful model.

Huh, yeah I think I’m going to revise my own corporate-based military a bit, in line with this post that I apparently in my infinite wisdom decided to partly ignore.

I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

Also, is a lot of the Internet just, unclear on the thing where you learn how to do stuff by doing it? You know what you get if you don't let toddlers into the grocery store? School age kids who don't know how to behave in the grocery store, which is worse. Don't let them in either? Teenagers who don't know how to behave in the grocery store, which is much worse. Just ban all minors from the grocery store? Now you have adults who don't know how to behave in the grocery store, and at that point we may as well not bother with society.

Ok, not everything on TikTok is terrible, but the app still is.

Well, they claim the higher taxes are only on the rich, and will never affect regular people.

Personally I think every police/prison abolitionist and acab losers should be forced to watch a 10 hour body cam compilation so they can actually see just how evil some people are, and how quickly a seemingly calm situation can excalate into violence. Just saw one where one officer responded to a possible trespassing. Walked up to the suspect, just casual and friendly and asked if he was the owner of the property. Suspect looks calm too until in a millisecond he pulls a knife and stabs the officer in the neck. A passerby notices and shoots the suspect multiple times and renders first aid to the officer, but he later passed away in hospital (as did the suspect). His coworkers sobbing while they take over first aid and arrest the suspect. Trying to comfort each other while they wait on any news from the hospital. One of them crying so hard while diverting traffic that one driver stops to make sure he's okay. It still haunts me. How can anyone just paint all these people as evil bastards?
