Quality Contributions Report for June 2023

This is the Quality Contributions Roundup. It showcases interesting and well-written comments and posts from the period covered. If you want to get an idea of what this community is about or how we want you to participate, look no further (except the rules maybe--those might be important too).

As a reminder, you can nominate Quality Contributions by hitting the report button and selecting the "Actually A Quality Contribution!" option. Additionally, links to all of the roundups can be found in the wiki of /r/theThread which can be found here. For a list of other great community content, see here.

These are mostly chronologically ordered, but I have in some cases tried to cluster comments by topic so if there is something you are looking for (or trying to avoid), this might be helpful. But first, we have a special AAQC recognition this month! If you caught last month's quality contribution report, you may have seen @Soriek's first "International Update." Well, there were five Thursdays in June this year, and Soriek didn't miss one. Pulling multiple Quality Contribution reports on a regular "feature" of the Culture War thread is impressive and bespeaks substantial community appreciation of this user's efforts. Bravo, @Soriek!

We now return to your regularly scheduled programming!

The discussion on the Titanic was unfortunately yet another I've completely missed. To answer the original question, I will cite Cenk Uygur from the TYT, of all people. He raised a point I didn't see anyone in the thread make specifically - namely, women generally love that movie because Jack dies. He'll never age and wither, or go bald, he'll never become fat or an average alcoholic lout. He'll never disappoint, or shatter any illusions. He'll never become less attractive or less exciting than he was before his early death.
