One of my favorite things is modern adaptations that leave people with the same careers they had in the original material, because unless you’re a cop or a doctor that practically never happens.

Irene Adler’s an opera singer. We still have those! They don’t have the same subtext exactly, but nothing is going to because we aren’t the Victorians. She could continue to be an opera singer. I have never seen this happen.

Jonathan Harker can still be in real estate. That’s a job people have. A modern story that still involves Dracula contacting his firm to help him purchase property sounds amazing actually.

Superman isn't woke. You're just so evil that you see a man doing acts of kindness and you think it's a targeted political agenda

What really ticks me off when talking about ai is when people are like "it's unavoidable" or "you'll have to learn to use it someday" or "its going to be part of the future" like no it's plenty avoidable actually if you have a spine stronger than a dandelion. You simply say "no" and continue to use your own goddamn brain.

being so staunchly anti generative ai while everyone around you is "i used chatgpt" and "i asked grok" and google search is useless and every company is implementing ai and every single celeb is taking ai money and partnering with ai is like... it's so jarring. why can't you see the harm like i can? why are you so lazy? why are we making society this stupid? can we please stop? it's killing people does that not matter to you?

andrew "i want nothing" minyard certified yearner of all time. wants a mother so bad he'll do anything to keep cass, even suffer her son. wants to protect his brother so bad he does whatever it takes, and that's before he even meets aaron to begin with. wants to take care of all the people who matter to him so bad that he always takes it a little too far. wants to be known so bad he'll give a boy he doesn't fully trust yet a key while telling him to stay. wants to be understood so bad he can't help but give ground to the first person who's really starting to, no matter what the deference does for his reputation. wants to have things to live for so bad he agrees to let people try to give him some. wants to be loved so bad he has to stifle the feeling and can't handle it when he actually is. wants to want nothing and wants more than anyone will ever know.

Do you want to be politically pure in theory or help your neighbor. Is it fruitless to help your neighbor because there's no Perfect Pure way to do it ?

i don’t know how to explain to you people that no matter what a country’s government is like i do not and will not support the US indiscriminately bombing that country’s civilians and i don’t know why that’s a controversial take tbh

"getting laid" is very hot and sexy. "getting off"? great news as well. so you would think "getting laid off" would be wonderful news for your penis. but alas

I keep seeing posts about why do the freshmen hate Neil and the response is that people forget Neil is an asshole. True

We spent 3 books inside of Neil’s head so we saw the thought process of Neil’s words

Imagine being Kevin in the first book and you’re chilling in your apartment when a 5’3 man comes in and starts yelling at you in French about not touching his things then calls you a cr’pple and runs away. Like that’s weird and an asshole move

That’s also only 1 example and one the earliest things Neil does before shit hit the fan

terfs would lose their minds if they were exposed to 2000s-2010s "a girl can do anything a boy can do, including beating them at sports" messaging like why are you all acting like nobody has ever said this and that it's radical to think that women aren't inherently worse at things. open your mind. read some feminist theory. touch some grass. the most basic banal middle-class white woman feminism of the 2010s looks fucking radical and visionary compared to the misogynistic victimization complex y'all are peddling
