Like drug dealers or people who sell cigarettes or even people who do onlyfans or even legit doctors. You profit from people's addictions or loneliness or other illnesses. Is that ethical? In the cases of drug dealers, is it fine because you're giving people their fix? Or doctors, is it fine to charge people absurd amounts of money for something as basic as healthcare? What do you think about profiting from people's suffering?
I posed a question here yesterday as I tend to do because I have all these thoughts about all these things and my friends are no help at all when I try to explore ideas with them. The responses I've gotten on this site tend to be interesting in better informing my own opinions and introducing me to new perspectives. What happened this time, though is that I got a bit of backlash for my question. I have never in my life been attacked for asking for people's thoughts about a topic. I didn't get so much of opinions or criticisms as much as just rebuke for asking the question in the first place. I got pretty shook up, ngl.
Now I'm asking another question. Can questions, themselves, be offensive/ how so? Is it in structure? Is it in what is being implied? Can invitation of outside opinion be, itself, attacking outside opinion?
Or something like Nosferatu, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Words, man. Words. What gives them power? DO THEY HAVE POWER AT ALL? What do you think?
This might be a cliche world peace type answer but I truly wish we lived in a world where people could be more understanding of each other rather than attacking everything that deviates from their narrow perception of 'normal'. It's cliche but that would be it. That and money.
Do we need them? Do they hold us back? Do they make us do stupid things? Are they the only thing that keeps us going as a society? What do you think?
I don't think there really is anything that can make a person beautiful or not beautiful. Cliche as it sounds, it really is in the eyes of the beholder. That's what I think at least.

Nothing. Earth's screwed enough as it is.
I thought the ending was great. I mean, it was sad ofc, but Peter showed growth. I like that.

I left my teen age not too long ago.
I don't think I cried enough.
Saw it in theaters. Went alone. Best to know as little about it as possible going in.
It was pretty good (and I don't generally watch superhero movies). I just suggest you watch the Sam Raimi trilogy and Marc Webb movies before watching (if you haven't already).
Yeah. That's a fair criticism. I was reaching a bit.
