Oh theyll learn from it its just the lesson will be "we need to abandon black people and trans people even harder and be even more concilliatory towards boring white pensioners"

Which is even creepier when you know the Yotei protagonist is literally just a model of Erika Ishii

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

My big conspiracy is that due to our overall systemic decline in both cultural literacy and actual literacy we have spawned a generation of people who don’t even know how to get horny anymore

I think a lot about how Michelle Obama remarked on regularly being in rooms with the most powerful and wealthy people in the world and her chief takeaway was that they're just not that smart

BUT HEY!

THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.

Yep. And the Tzimisce largely defected to the Anarchs after the Sabbat ran off to fight the Gehenna War or the elder Tzims fled back to Carpathia and left their kids to fend for themselves

Sorta like guys who say the words "virtue signalling" with any seriousness are doing everything they say as a transparent act of revealing they think the only possible reason people do shit is farming brownie points with people on the internet

Hmmmm. I'm torn between the aspirational everything bagel with lox and cream cheese i would order at a good bagel shop, vs the probably more realistic in my hometown "the steak , onion and egg bagel breakfast sandwich at McDonalds"

so is just cooking ramen and putting in some asian ingredients you already prebought at the store but sure, american cheese is the comforting choice.
