What is your most "Fuck you, this is actually awesome?" take?

I believe that her arc is a conqueror's journey disguised as a hero's journey, and it was done so well that everyone felt betrayed. This thread is for hot takes, so there's mine.
Yea, the events were a bit of a dick punch, but they were still so grossly rushed, though. I was so checked out of the story by then I just laughed. GoT had become a weird parody of itself. Interesting, subtle character developments with interplay and dynamics? NOPE!! Cliche, sudden twists to shock the brainless TV audience in to clapping like seals? CHECK

I think it's worth it now to give the back catalog of the killers a listen. I felt the same way for a long time.
That being said I've got a list of bands I enjoy a lot more than I could when they were being played every 40 minutes
Yea, I enjoy music a lot more now that I don't have to listen to the same shit day in and day out. Even some pop songs are pretty banger to hear once in a blue moon.

Never knew it was French, really good work! Also never realized how many episodes there were, might be worth a revisit...
Perfect for binge watching when sick

Wait but why would someone defend ai art...
Like the only reason I can think of is it maybe makes someone who is lazy feel good about themselves because they make a computer generated picture with zero effort (while stealing from real artists and feeding the megacorp machine) ?
Sorry, this is on the same level of saying "well they denied electricity at first and this is just like that!" Braindead take.
Carry on. (Yes im reinforcing your comment by even replying here, ha!!)
Yes yes, "electronic calculators will steal jobs". "Electronic calculators will make us dumber." People have been crying wolf about technology for decades.

High school of the Dead. I watched the anime because of that titty/bullet gif. I freaking loved that show.
Not so much the piss scene, but still.Yes the story is so fun. After the anime I also ready on in the Manga, which is also good. It's so sad that Daisuke Satล died so soon. Now it will remain unfinished.

That is probably because Batman doesn't pay taxes, Bruce Wayne does.
And Bruce Wayne is known for spending tons of the Wayne foundation on helping the poor and criminalized. Tons of charities, schools, orphanages, homeless shelters, ... are funded by them.
And if Bruce gets tax breaks because of that, it is because that is how the law works, not because he wants them.
Bruce is far from the average Billionaire you get in our dimension.
I love Batman (currently replaying the Rocksteady games for the 3rd time) and I grew up with him and cannot really relate to Superman since I am not a farm boy.
But it is very easy to see how Batman is in fact a fascist-capitalist fantasy.A rich man who takes things in his own hands on a whim, infiltrating public order tech, hoarding personal data on virtually everyone in Gotham (at least) if not resorting to real-time surveillance by infiltrating personal devices (in The Dark Knight).
The idea that he "does good" by deciding a subset of all possible activities on which to spend his money and never spends himself on releasing that decision power to the public is exactly what brought the US where they are and what they hate viscerally about the EU (even if the sliding is real here as well).

I definitely agree the last two seasons were crazy rushed. No argument there!

Working out. Used to think it was too hard and I didn't have time. Pushed myself, started exercising at home and it's snowballed to protein loading, supplement taking, and lifting to failure. It's good to feel like jelly.
I feel this comment in my bones. Now it's weird if I don't feel sore.

I consider it to be a mutual activity
It's mutual something, apparently understanding statistics and calling out the weaknesses of epidemiology is "science illiteracy".

me, I said it
Had to downvote you.

Yeah, crumb was definitely the right word to use there. My brain gets a bit fuzzy with words sometimes.
I don't think it's super common knowledge, I only know it from watching vidyas on the net. I got the sense you enjoyed the bread so would be a shame to not say anything if you would have found it useful if you didn't know it, but figured someone else on here might not have known it either

Yeah, thanks for putting the right word out there. I've heard it a couple times on GBBS, but it's been a while.

Twinkies. The perfect dessert.
I hate twinkies as they are, but if you roast them over a fire they really do become perfect. All that extra grease in the bread fries it to perfection and the cream isn't as gross when it's molten.

What I mean is like, what do you think is unironically awesome, even if people now think its cringe or stupid?
Furries. As a furry myself I don't get the hate
