nah i’m just a hater

my immersion was ruined when Nolan couldn’t even cast someone slightly interesting for Odysseus and turned a fun and exciting tale into an overly serious greyscale film that will probably be a 4ish hour snooze fest

It’s so funny that F1 bans cigarette ads but nicotine punches (ZYN) are perfectly fine lol

also transports significantly more people than a single of the dozens of interchanges in Houston

agree but unfortunately for a lot of students in the USA the only form of transit to their university is by car

I’m pretty sure symbolic logic with Ps and Qs is colloquially known as formal logic. Which is usually treated as a strand of philosophy. I was making fun of how anon is acting like philosophy is just people bullshitting when any philosopher worth a dime is making pretty complex and airtight arguments that you learn the basis of in a logic class, which a 4chan user wouldn’t have taken because they are usually losers with nothing good going for them.

The main takeaway from Jesus is his message. It’s important to note that people’s beliefs form their own reality. For example when Jesus did the whole fishes and loaves thing, he probably didn’t multiply all that food. But the people listening to him believed in him and found it in themselves to share their food with the people who didn’t have any. So it seemed like a miracle. When Jesus “healed lepers” it’s because he treated them like people. A lot of the homeless are literally crazy because people ignore them, but if you take the effort to treat them like real people, then they act like normal people.

However, I agree there isn’t a way to explain the resurrection. But that’s the difference between Christians and non-Christians. You don’t have to believe in the resurrection and that’s a perfectly valid standpoint. But I really think it’s an injustice to treat Jesus as a magic man when he really just wanted everyone to love each other. The people around him believed he was really the son of God and maybe that’s simply because they had never received the unconditional love and respect Jesus would show them.

I agree that Saving Private Ryan action scenes are supposed to show what you’re talking about, but that’s not what they do. To an American audience (which the film was made for) the chaos and horror is justified and honorable. The audience has been taught that America is always on the right side of history, they have to honor soldiers at every sporting event, they have a general riding a horse into battle in the middle of their town square, they had to pledge allegiance to war every day as a kid, etc etc. The title Saving Private Ryan tells you everything; war is heroic and necessary.

anon doesn’t know what formal logic is

That movie is textbook glorifying war 😭 The first 15 minutes especially!! It’s literally called Saving Private Ryan as in here’s a movie about heroic saviors in a situation that is only possible because of war. Majority of the audience doesn’t leave a film like that thinking “war is so awful” but instead thinking “wow the scene where they stormed normandy was awesome it was filmed in such a cool way omg i wish i was also able to be as brave and heroic as those men.”

I think that movie is great, but it is impossible to make any media about war, that directly shows the war, without coming across as pro-war.

Pretty much every war movie glorifies war haha. Saving Private Ryan, Dunkirk, and 1917 are famous because of their awesome looking action scenes. All those films glorify war and convey a sense of heroism, urgency, and righteousness for people involved in a war. If the director’s wanted to make a film that didn’t glorify war, they would’ve focused on the shitty parts of war instead of showing the audience all the cool heroic things soldiers get up to.

Grave of the Fireflies does not glorify war. Thin Red Line is maybe the only movie about soldiers that doesn’t make war seem cool.

hey that was the cuyahoga river, lake erie is clean besides the algae blooms and the farm runoff and after a storm when it turns brown :(

however, the river fire led to the founding of the epa and the fish have been safe to eat for like five years now
