  • It is if I can trust you. The reality is i can’t. So if you have claims and its important for you to ensure i understand or accept your input then you better be able to back it up or I won’t.

    If you were ‘there’ then prove that.

    There are a lot of scenarios where it is just not important to have acceptance or agreement from the other party so it’s not like this is a universal rule. But if you have to rely on ‘trust me’ then you have to accept that some people simply wont.

    What for? There are absolutely no real options to avoid the Israel/Palestine conflict. So as an adult who understands that there are some things I can and cannot influence I move on to those I can influence.

    One candidate is leagues above the other.

    Anyone who says “well your candidate will be bad for Israel/Palestine” is being disingenuous because both will suck. Thats bait and a distraction.

    Going 3rd party or abstaining from voting are both stupid approaches.





  • I guess, for me, its an issue of expectations.

    spoiler

    The movie didnt seem to be avant garde until that very end where they hit you with (I guess) an entirely metaphorical ending scene. Nowhere else was the film as symbolic or whatever, so me as the viewer is expecting an actual ending scene about the whole life-swapping/pregnant wife situation but instead I get hit with a giant tarantula and have to basically go back to re-examine the entirety of the film for its spider symbolism.

    If that intent was built up more throughout the film I may have been primed more for it and could interpret it more openly, but it felt like a total shift in context that essentially made me feel like I wasted all that time.

    I put this up there with endings like ‘it was all a dream after all’.
