I can see the joke, but that wasn’t the timing for it. This was a statement movie through and through, and while it does paint what has been done in the past to women this happened at the end of the film. For a statement film then end is a call to action, not a silly one liner. That joke was better reserved to happen closer to the middle or beginning. The ending should be reserved for an analogy for how things should be.

My biggest issue with it was honestly the ending. They make it clear that Barbie world is just reversed where the men are treated poorly by the women. Which is fine. The analogy makes as much sense as it needs to for the point it makes.

But at the end they have the change to use that point to illustrate where they would like to see the world go. They could have said “wow we were assholes and our poor treatment of men encouraged this entire shit show. We’re going to treat men as equals now” but instead they simply gave them slightly better benefits than they had before and still expected to be able to treat them like crap. It would’ve been nicer to see them illustrate more equality between the genders and the results it had on the regular world.

If this is a screenshot from a televised event (idk anything about it so idk if it is) it may have been done as processing for TV. They do it in the NHL with TV airings. They’ll cover the ads on the side of the arena with other ads more relevant to viewers not near the arena.

For example if Pittsburgh plays Edmonton at Edmonton. Edmonton has a bunch of ads for businesses in the Edmonton area but not Pittsburgh. So on TV they’ll digitally cover them with another ad that is either something nationally acceptable or local to Pittsburgh.

Old content won’t populate. Only the new content posted to the community. As for Ernest, that’s the default moderator for all federated communities. He is the site admin and creator of kbin.

In their sidebar is usually a url to copy. You’ll need to change the leading ! To @ and paste it in search.

It’s usually something like @worldnews or whatever with your community between the @‘s and the instance at the end

Not autistic (I only found the post via m/all) but I am a dad of a 1 year old.

Cue’s are tough to read. Every time I think I’m getting them, they seem to change. My daughter starts throwing fits at random and I’m just lost running around trying to figure out Whats wrong and if it’s something she needs or if it’s just her not getting what she wants.

I also find I get nasty looks from other parents when I go to the park if my wife isn’t with me. I got the cops called on my for kidnapping my own daughter on more than 1 occasion. Dad’s can’t be dad’s in public when it’s just them and their children. The status quo means you shouldn’t know how to parent and should be at home falling apart the second a diaper needs changed because you just don’t know what to do. Anything else and something is wrong and the police need involved.

I have family with autism. I have friends with autism. I am sure that makes is more difficult. I have no doubts there. But I think being a single dad is adding more to the troubles than you think it is.

Are you on v0.2.0? Cause after that update and using the api it’s really been flawless

Not sure how big of a difference it will be from being logged out to logged in, but currently work is being done on a kbin API and most instances don’t run it yet. But Artemis.camp does. These were issues I had when on kbin.social but I made a temp account on Artemis.camp and it made a load of difference on performance.

All the more reason to convict him as an accomplice. He knew what was coming and still did nothing to stop it.
