It's quality is more mid than bad. Not necessarily a bad movie, just nothing to write home about. Which would still be better than the Fox movies.

Ehh, I thought the first one was really good for its time. It's a bit dated now, but there's nothing really wrong with it. It's a fun, relatively simple origin movie.

This math has never worked.

C'mon guys this won't be crappy Fox, it's the official MCU version. HAVE SOME GODDAMN FAITH

MCU has been of pretty dubious quality lately tbh. It's not the sure thing it was pre-Endgame.

Zack Snyder's Justice League is a banger. At least watch Man of Steel and the Director's Cut of BvS before hand. Wonder Woman is optional but also really good.

Blech

Every past one was made by Sony I think

Fox.

But the first one was decent. The second one was bad, because it really screwed up Galactus. The reboot was bad because... well, it just was.

I only know who Pedro Pacal is. Never heard of the other 3

Vanessa Kirby is either a pink marshmallow or a vacuum cleaner, but idk which

What an irredeemable loser. Life in prison would be the least they deserve.

Nah, gonna spend the evening with my gf once she's off work tonight.

Were they distracted by the booty while typing that

Would be strange if they were, since it's a 3/10 booty tbh

Did you spend 14 seconds fact checking this before you posted it?

It's visually beautiful but the story expects you to learn, understand, and care about a lot of space-religion and space-politics mumbo jumbo for the first hour and a half or so. Then it gets pretty cool.

That's amazing lmao

I wouldn't miss them if I never had them. I could live without them if I had to, but I don't have to.

Yes, absolutely.

That's a terrible example of an otherwise legitimate point.

I feel like it's not a bad example at all. Why is it a bad example?

That was kinda fucked up, why would you do that?

80% off anything means I can buy 5x as many lottery tickets for the same money, and it throws off the expected return math wildly into my favor.

...Yes? Kids absolutely get bullied for that.

Yeah, the important thing to know about bullying is that the bullies aren't relying on logic or intelligence to pick their targets. They will absolutely use anything "different" about somebody to bully them.

Look at Jake Lloyd. He literally got bullied for being in a Star Wars movie. Bullies are mean and they make no sense.

No. The last batch of MCU movies are bad while Morbius and now Madame Web are legit terrible.

They can all be terrible together. It's not a competition, it's a lifestyle.

People will find a reason to complain about literally anything.

He's got the kind of talent that can put him up there for sure, he's a wildfire out there. He adapts well to an evolving situation and usually makes good calls for running it in himself. Heck, during the Super Bowl he walked right in for a first down when the defenders let him off for a second.

He's already 3 super bowls deep into like a ~5 year career. That's pretty crazy.

I used to watch that channel consistently for like a year+

Guts/Global Guts, Double Dare, Figure it Out, Legends of the Hidden Temple, all that stuff was the shit when I was younger.

Certain parts yes, others no.

He literally went up to grab his arm and get his attention and moved a little too fast, what a meme this is lol

Not sure why you'd be asking me. I have not and will not ever write something like that.

Gob continues to make history.

How is it ignorant to cite studies on the subject, exactly?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I feel like it's not ignorant at all to cite multiple studies with multiple data points that all demonstrate significant health benefits.

majin_nemesis posted...

you know what prevents HIV? a condom use it and stop cutting off a baby penis against his will

Sorry that you seem to disagree with the findings, but circumcision has several health benefits in actual, non-hypothetical scenarios.

That makes it a worthwhile procedure if parents want their sons to have significantly decreased risk of UTIs and other complications (such as HIV, phimosis, and rare cases of penile cancer) later in life.

Also, it just looks better and women prefer it.

That's a lot of benefits for a very simple, quick procedure that children won't remember.

Enclave posted...

Basic hygiene, a bit of freakin' education so people aren't so ignorant of sexual organs, this is the actual solution, not non-consensual cosmetic surgery.

I understand that you're arguing from a position of emotional investment, but please don't make any claims about following the science if you refuse to acknowledge the simple facts that circumcision has a strong effect in UTI and HIV transmission prevention.

Areas with high HIV prevalence and low circumcision rates saw a significant decrease in HIV rates when circumcision rates increased. If it were as easy as you say, why were HIV rates so high before?

Baha05 posted...

So you literally saw Ripley in the first Alien movie fight off dinosaurs on a planet?

Did you literally see people in pokemon games shooting pokemon in the face with an assault rifle?

Enclave posted...

cosmetic surgery

Also, you keep using this term but it doesn't really apply here. There are several health benefits to consider in addition to the increased visual appeal.

Enclave posted...

It's not deflection, it's just a fact. Basic hygiene is a far superior solution than non-consensual cosmetic surgery that itself carries risks of infection and death.

The study didn't say anything to the effect of "in the absence of basic hygiene," now did it? I feel like you're just making up your own conclusions at this point.

10x greater risk of UTI, risk of phimosis complications, higher rate of HIV... seems like there are significant benefits to circumcision. Write them off and be dismissive all you like, the science does support there being several benefits to circumcision at birth.

Enclave posted...

Wash your kids dick to reduce UTI risk. Fucking basic hygiene.

See, this is deflection. I'd rather not give my child a 10x greater risk of UTI, myself.

Baha05 posted...

The bad part about it is that it being so blatant means others will try to do that and it would just tank the indie scene down more then help.

Palworld is fun, though. If other developers are inspired by them to do more interesting combinations of genre and art style, that can only be a good thing.

Uninspired ripoff games haven't been a thing for decades already. Palworld is actually inspired and charming. It's a good game and people love it.

Enclave posted...

Cosmetic surgery

It also has health benefits observed in a multitude of studies, some of the most important of which come during the first year of life via UTI risk reduction.

Enclave posted...

Looking at those links it's mostly situations of "just fucking wash your dick!" and "wear a god damn condom if you're having casual sex!"

And it's also a situation of "if you're circumcised, your risk goes down."

Also, most of those UTIs occur in infants, and those infants can have many complications from those UTIs.

Baha05 posted...

which isnt good for the industry because it encourages lazy art designs

Okay but like, hear me out... people bought and played palworld because it's fun and the pals look cute.

If it was bad, people wouldn't have fallen in love with it. Yes, it's inspired by Pokemon and has similarities to it. No, that's not a bad thing.

Even when pokemon was new, other things similar to it were huge and it was a highly competitive space. The lack of real competition in recent years is a big part of why pokemon games have been mediocre for the past decade or more.

Cemith posted...

You can not both ignore the information presented to you but then also still be on board with it because "HeAlTh RiSkS".

They looked specifically at penis cancer, and seemed to ignore other risks such as UTI and HIV. I linked a few studies above that aggregate and assess multiple other studies on the subjects.

I wish you would stop arguing health benefits.

No reason to stop when there are benefits to discuss. Phimosis leads to its own complications, and is part of the reason why cancer, infection, and HIV risk increase for uncircumcised people.

Baha05 posted...

Because if you arent directly looking into the game pass screen shots on Steam or watching videos you would be under the impression that its Pokmon with Guns and not a survival crafting game.

????

The trailers were pretty clear about what kind of game it is.

You don't even have the dignity to concede a point when you are shown to have been making an indefensible argument.

It's not indefensible, though. I've defended it well so far. I understand that you disagree, but that's probably because you're one of the ones I'm arguing with.

ai123 posted...

But you do see the part where the medical studies you base your 'science' on are shown to be questionable

There are lots of studies that have been done with regard to phimosis and UTI, and the conclusion is pretty much always "you get phimosis and UTIs a lot more often if you're uncircumcised."

One of y'all even said "of course you won't get tight foreskin if you don't have foreskin."

Sounds like a solid preventative measure for a health issue to me.

Deutschenlied posted...

You literally said if you had a chance to prevent cancer in children, you'd do it. You were very clear about it.

Right. I've said that already. Do you want me to say it again? I haven't taken it back or changed my mind.

Dental cleanings/checkups, fluoride, blood tests for lead as necessary

Uh oh, sometimes bad things happen at the dentist. Are you sure you should be filling a kid's teeth before they're old enough to decide for themselves?

Jupiter posted...

I don't understand why you still fight for circumcision despite knowing the "health benefits" are bullshit

They're not bullshit. Why do you guys keep trying to put words in my mouth?

Jupiter posted...

Also, I'm uncircumcised. I've been with several girls in my life. Not a single one had a complaint about it.

Anecdotal evidence is pretty weak compared to actual surveys and studies that have been done.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I'm not wrong. You guys are trying to force some kind of narrative here that simply isn't true about me. It's kind of weird tbh

willythemailboy posted...

Vaccination. Note those are actually recommended as preventative medicine and circumcisions are not.

Anything else?

It turns out that games are better when players have some idea of where they can go.

Baha05 posted...

In terms of the design of what the game is and the screen shots presented its again obvious what they were drawing in on

Okay, sure, but how is that dishonest?

SauI_Goodman posted...

Really it wasn't the fact that someone just happened to be filming a random guy.

I didn't even watch the video, tbh. I just know this kind of stuff by scent these days.

Deutschenlied posted...

Don't you like how Gob just casually dropped gave up on the cancer angle when it was shut down?

It wasn't shut down, but we've been going back and forth about it for a while now. You guys have said your part, and I've said mine. Time to address other health benefits.

Deutschenlied posted...

Yet they recommend many

Name a few other procedures that are recommended for all children, for me.

Extremely bad opinion tbh
