    This display used to be the first thing you would see when you walked into my home.

    The only reason I moved them was because I replaced them to make room for my two massive bearded dragon tanks. 😎

    Any future partner better match my energy LOL

    I used to worry about what women would think when they saw my home, but it turned out that none of them ever see it at all so I might as well be true to myself and collect all the My Little Ponies.

      My (now) wife freaked out coming to my apartment the first time. Turns out, she’s a huge Rush fan:

      In my living room at the time:

      All I hear is “Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

      70% sure she just married me for the TV.

        Holy cow. That TV! Actually awesome, seems uniquely aesthetically pleasing for the era it seems to originate from.

        What can you tell us about that TV?

          The origjnal is a Philco Predicta from around 1958 or so. The Philco brand existed for years and years, first as a maker of radios, then as a maker of televisions.

          The retro-futurist Predicta line ran for just 2 years, 1958 to 1960.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicta

          It definitely gained a hold though and has been featured in both the Sims and Fallout games:

          In the 90’s, the brand was acquired by a tiny company called Telstar who hand-made reproductions using Phillips parts, that’s who made mine in 2001.

          25", full color, with composite, component and S-Video inputs. It even supports 480p video!

            Maybe I’m just your basic bitch*, but it’s Twilght Sparkle for me. I just like her look; last time I had my hair dyed it it was modeled after her mane / her anthro’s hair. I didn’t really like the show, but I only watched a few episodes.

            * is that word gender-neutral in context, or should I be using “bastard” or something else?

      My husband was worried about bringing me to his apartment for the first time when we were dating because it was filled with tarantulas, scorpions, and snakes. Did not bother me in the slightest and I really got into keeping them too. I did put my foot down on centipedes though because fuck that (too fast, too hot).

          Incels scorn society and the world for making them ugly, no powerful jawline, no American Pie sex adventures in high school, and no nice suits to wear to their minimum wage jobs. To incels, they are the forgotten scum of the earth.

          Well, The Joker is a film about an abused, poor, and lonely comedian getting his face kicked in by teenagers about a month before rising up, killing a late night tv host, and vengefully breaking Society down into chaos and misery.

          So, they just think The Joker makes them look cool. That’s really it. Every time they think about shooting up an elementary school, they also think about Arthur Fleck gunning down Murray Franklin.

          Being a nice person isn’t bad but “nice guy” is a term for someone who presents themselves as nice and polite (but only to people they’re attracted to) and expects romantic attention in return for being nice. Basically, they think the fact that they put so much effort into being nice they deserve that romantic attention. They’ll often talk about how nice they are.

          Of course, anyone who needs to repeatedly tell you they are nice tend not be.

            Ok. Thx. I am not from the US and in my 40s. This whole thing of labeling people into categories is somewhat foreign to me. I mean my generation over here did this as well to a degree (and I admit I never got it), but it appears this has become much more dominant thin (at least at the other side of the pacific).

            I also tend to aggressively ignore things I deam stupid. But my children will be teenagers soo, guess I’ll have to put some time into researching these kind of things.

            This, and, speaking for myself, I once thought that’s literally how you attract someone because that’s what my mom taught me. “be nice to women, find a nice girl, ???, marriage.” in that order. But I was nice to everyone, not just people I liked.

            The one time I ever talked about how nice I thought I was, was when I was 18 and the girl I liked called me creepy when I was being nice to her all the time showering her with compliments and ttying to hang out with her. I went on this little rant, out of frustration, on FB in a status update about how women were bitches for not liking me and calling me creepy when I’ve just been trying to he nice to them. Yeah, at that point, that status update wasn’t exaclty being nice to anyone.

            Actually that was probably when I took a look at myself and realized just being nice isn’t gonna cut it, and my mom’s advice was shit. THEEEEEN, a few years later I heard about Nice Guys™

            It’s okay I’m now 32 and I have seen the light, it’s just took me until a couple years ago to figure it all out

          If I walk into a woman’s apartment, and one of the first things I see is something like “can’t handle me at worst”, and I <3 Dylan, posters I am probably going to end the pursuit of this relationship. I would do this because I have seen this common thread with people who do this. That common thread is that they have personality disorders, or are otherwise unstable. Pattern recognition is a survival instinct. Pattern recognition can be wrong, but this isn’t seeing faces in wood grain. This is seeing aspects of people’s personalities that they, themselves, value to the point where they spent money to display it on their wall.

          Beyond this specific situation, you know how many times I have seen “it’s just memes” turn into “I am now in favor of an ethno state”? The average person to white supremacist/whatever pipeline created by the social influence of fora for “it’s just memes/jokes” is real, I have watched it happen. Feel disaffected from society? Well I am here to ease you into the idea that it isn’t your fault, it is the fault of women, and brown people, starting with some casual jokes, and memes.

              Those are insanely popular movies.

              I’ve only seen academic critique and of course more cerebral criticisms because of how they were reflections of their time, like many movies.

              If you had actual people in real life attack you for liking these movies, either you were being weird about them and not listening to someone’s academic takes because you don’t understand them or you met a nut. Otherwise I think it’s bullshit and you just wanna be oppressed for liking [POPULAR THING]

              How do you interpret and discuss Fight Club and Full Metal Jacket in conversation? I like both of these movies and have never had anyone respond negatively when I’ve discussed them.

              When you talk about Fight Club, are you talking about it in a way which might suggest you think fight clubs are a good idea?

              I’m trying to figure out who would have a problem with Full Metal Jacket.

          Like did you evolve your entire personality around the disturbing characters? Or did you watch them a couple times, quote a few lines here and there?

          There is a line and if you are worried people don’t like you anymore because of these movies you probably crossed into the former. The movies are not problematic, but unfortunately the way some people get into them is.

          To emphasize: This is not automatically your fault because you enjoyed watching a show.

          Media is full of things like this and there a few people that take fandom too far. They are characters and we are intended to hate the characters. Should we feel empathy as we watch their journey? Yes but empathy shouldn’t forgive the crimes they commit. We can feel a connection to their pain but take the lesson and instead of idolize, try to do better.

        He listed the highly inappropriate and unpopular movies that nobody ever heard of Full Metal Jacket and Fight Club.

        I think someone spends too much time reading posts on the internet.
