I would be surprised if the people most aggressively against student loan forgiveness had any personal difficulty with student loans themselves at all. The politicians beating the drum were likely wealthy enough for tuition to be an afterthought, and their constituents do not value education enough to have needed the loans in the first place.

If you’re in the second camp you’re probably also bitter that these educated liberal elite, that think their so fancy and embarrass you with their big city talk, want now to get their education, which they lord over you, FOR FREE! You’re probably angry that these young people with their hip culture you don’t understand or have time for, because you’re waking up predawn to drive 45 minutes to your manual labor job which is wrecking your body, “don’t have to work like you do.” In short, you’re probably not very big picture oriented, your self esteem is probably pretty fragile, and you’re probably not the strongest abstract thinker. You’re likely angry to the point of antisocial, and relish any opportunity to leverage your will.

Tell them I said hello.

I’ve never considered this. This seems like a much safer way to “slash” a tire.

No, that’s not what I’m talking about. Spoilers ahead: The narrator says he’s going to die. So this impending death is constantly looming. Then he technically dies because he was clinically dead for a second. It’s a total cop out.

I haven’t seen it since it was in theaters, but I remember feeling the ending cheapened it for me.

I keep seeing people talking about how this is to boost numbers and it’s direct relationship to their IPO. This seems simplistic and probably not entirely correct. I’m not going to pretend to understand the finer points of an initial public offering (there seems to be enough people pretending already) but I doubt there will be any one-to-one direct correlation between placing a pixel and putting one more penny in scrooge mcducks dragon hoard. Like, as if spez is saving up for a new bike, and if I don’t look at r/place today he’ll be a few cents short and I can twirl my mustache and villain laugh while a single tear rolls down his cheek.

Honestly boycotting or participating in protesting on reddit are likely equally futile from a change the world standpoint. Reddit is a building marked for demolition. It will be blown up and a big apartment building with no parking, a partial view, and moderate to high rent is going to be constructed in it’s place. The value of the real estate is the neighborhood, it doesn’t matter what furniture is currently in the building or what you wrote about the upcoming demolition in your letter to the editor. It’s getting torn down and rebuilt no matter what, and the people involved will be marginally richer than they already are. But it’s natural and honest to be upset and I support people expressing themselves however they see fit.

The hands in the middle bottom having the wrong number of fingers is a nice touch.
