I first started using the film boards on imdb back around 2000, which was over 20 years ago. The same type of people were posting the same kind of "hey Citizen Kane is wayyyy overrated" posts, which were met with the same type of reactionary responses. This will always happen, if you are going to be bold enough to go against the grain, then you have to be bold enough to deflect any harsh comments and keep it moving.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 66%. (I'm a bot)


> WASHINGTON -The United States has decided to extend the deployment of the George H.W. Bush carrier strike group to provide options to policymakers after last week's deadly attacks in Syria by Iran-backed forces, U.S. military officials said on Friday.

> News of the deployment came a day after the Pentagon doubled its tally of the number of American troops wounded in last week's attacks in Syria to 12, following the diagnosis of six U.S. military personnel with traumatic brain injuries.

> The Pentagon has estimated eight militants were killed during retaliatory U.S. air strikes against two Iran-linked facilities in Syria during the tit-for-tat exchanges triggered by the first March 23 attack against a U.S. base near the Syrian city of Hasaka.

I loved this! I really liked this take so much, brings the whole genre a breath air of humanity but not in the grittiness that's often the depiction of reality. Just pure inspiration.

All religious Faith is intellectual dishonesty made into an elite virtue. It is wish thinking.

The more our beliefs align with reality it allows us to make the best possible decisions here in the real world. Religion and Faith goes directly against that. It lets them believe whatever they wish to be true. It also lets them believe things that conflict with other Faith beliefs. There is no actual method to accept the claims of holy books or think that any gods exist without that Faith. They use that Faith to make up their world view and to "answer" what are supposed to be the most important questions.

People who think there is a god have no objective method to read any holy book just like they have no objective method that can be used to say how all the other religions besides their one favorite religion are wrong.

For people who care about what is true in reality the evidence needs to meet the whole of the claims being made and there are only bad reasons to accept god claims. I care too much that the people who I'm forced to share this planet with hold true in reality beliefs. We do not live in private bubbles, the people who take what are supposedly the most important questions and claim god did it with magic - vote, indoctrinate children and most are in a death cult that make them hate and claim other people not in their cults are sub human.

The god believers can't keep their religions to themselves. They are also more anti-science/ anti-vax during a pandemic.

The religious moderates act as protection for the people who take their not moderate compatible religions seriously and who know their holy books best. Those being more honest to the texts are doing much real-life harm and are trying to take away others legal rights.

Or simply: I'm not going to move, you can waste $50 on prime seats and I'm going to sit here because you need an usher and without them you need to go to a security area and by the time you do that, I can just as easily stand up and say 'oh, I guess I'm in the wrong seat, I've never seen this guy in my life' and security may ask me to leave, may not, but I'll be several innings in if you need to manage that and then we're back to security is just an usher.

It all falls apart pretty quick.

No worries about the photographer thing! So there’s no filter per se here I actually left this one “as shot” in my editing app for white balance.

I liked it because (to me anyway) it felt kinda cinematic and conveyed that it was blue hour when I took the pic. Having said that I also really prefer this edit for Many of the reasons you stated.

Do they have the rape, slavery, and incest quotes?

Just cherry-picked quotes huh?

Peter 2:18 Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.

Forgot about the treat women like trash quotes.

Exodus 21:7 “If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do."

Put that on your bag and shove it up your ass.
