Not that much in music, very greatly in movies/TV/even some games

I'm not going to enjoy a movie if I think it's imparting a message that I think is wrong or painting something I disagree with in a positive light, that's crazy to me

Writers have a very important duty to think about what their story is saying, not just on a surface level but also the underlying, subtle themes and connections, and in movies/TV this also falls on the directors, editors, composers, etc, and if the message is mixed or off-target then that's going to naturally be a problem for me, I don't see how it could not be

It is a good value bet, that's what I'm saying

Making it through the whole term and not winning re-election should be a lot higher than 17% imo

30% chance of Trump getting re-elected is really horrible odds

17% on making it to election and losing are good odds depending on what that means (does that include the chances of losing a primary?)

They clearly fucking don't, or they might have actually learned something.

I have to confess that this is one of the rare times I have found a full throttle topic actually useful

At my chinese place I tip a couple bucks because they're really good at having everything prepared and they've never gotten even a large, complicated order wrong

Oh nice, fellow Don't Stop Believing haters

I do not like Journey, sorry

Is this really a problem for anyone under the age of 35-40? Older people didn't have aggressive seatbelt campaigns though

Miracle Mask is really close though, it's my second favorite, especially because its downloadable puzzles are really really good

There aren't any that I think are significantly better or worse than the others, but I'd narrowly say Unwound Future thanks to having the most amusing plot and being in a pretty good place in the series puzzle-wise (late enough to have more polish than the earlier titles, early enough to not have run out of ideas)

Layton vs Wright might actually be my favorite Layton game if that counts, though its puzzles are really easy by comparison with exactly two exceptions

The thing about Pence that makes him interesting is that he might be the only person who could run for president who is capable of bridging the gap between voters who are Trump loyalists and voters who are never-Trump.

I really hope people don't harass a 9-year-old kid and his family

This, though:

As Wednesday’s investigation into the veracity of Pickle barged on ahead, weary Trump supporters noted the lunacy — the desperation — of people who would dedicate so much energy to tearing apart a sweet letter from a child.

They really don't have self-awareness, huh

The two fresh reviews I see are barely even positive at all

It's up to 6% on RT, wow

All of the first 3 Pikmin games were great, but the 3DS one looks pretty eh

Yeah, Collins's stock goes up in my book a bit too

I have to apologize now to Murkowski for thinking she was going to disappoint me and to McCain for thinking he would never actually have a spine

Oh dang I actually had hopes for Murkowski. nevermind

Lisa Murkowski is honestly almost doing enough to give me a glimmer of hope for the republican party

about 40% of trans people try to commit suicide and 40-50% have issues with depression, anxiety, or both. that's both MtF and FtM. from that aspect alone, would military reject people based on those figures or would they ask for more data and have more scrutiny on any trans applicant? basically is this stat alone something that would make recruiters balk or would they still listen?

You realize that trans people are more likely to be depressed/be anxious/commit suicide because they face widespread discrimination in society, right.

Like it's not some inherent part of being trans, it's literally because of policies like this one.

"We keep pushing trans people out of participating in society and they keep getting all depressed about it! What's the deal?"

I will nearly guarantee that McCain will toe the party line in the end. He's no different from the rest

Being that upset over a 4-6 week injury to Kershaw is quite frankly insulting when you have as big a lead as you do

It's more offensive by boy scout standards

Actually that's not true at all my embarrassment over being a boy scout is in no way sudden

I read the entire thing and I feel like my brain doesn't work properly anymore afterwards

The first 10% and last 10% were... fine, and the rest, holy shit. I'm suddenly embarrassed to have ever been a boy scout

I didn't see him swear anywhere in there though

Lot's of presidents have been at the Jamboree. Dubya, Dubya Dad, Nixon (when he was VP), LBJ, Eisenhower, Truman, and FDR were all at a Jamboree. And Obama showed up via video. It's a pretty big event in general.

They're just not normally bitching about politics to 50 thousand kids, demanding their loyalty to him, and talking about orgies.

Incidentally, the start of his speech apparently was him promising to not talk about politics.

Right, you just laid out the reasons why I wouldn't have invited him

Even Bill Clinton probably does not talk about orgies at the jamboree (although I have to admit that's a... bit of a new one for Trump)

Why was he even invited to speak to boy scouts

I actually never watched MP3 because I meant to get around to playing the game myself at some point and then I never did

Dead to Rights is fucking great

What I don't get is how a film like this, which is effectively a 105 minute sensory assault, can be described as "boring", even if you don't like it.

I don't get how you could fail to see how someone might consider that boring

Just because you assault my senses doesn't mean you have my attention

Their Sonic 06 playthrough was really good

I almost didn't consider it a wrongpurae because usually in a wrongpurae they're not actually playing the game, but fuck it

(I didn't rank the Dead to Rights games but they're like honorary wrongpuraes)

I actually made a full ranking of wrongpuraes once (as of like a year ago, so it's missing... like maybe 3 or 4 of them, they haven't done many lately), and yes, I did count Sonic 2006 and Other M

Shadow of Destiny was in my top 10

Cobra is my #4 for the record

Last Alert rounds out my top 5

Mega Man 8 (PS1, Saturn)
Blast Corps (Nintendo 64)
NFL Blitz (Arcade)
MDK (PS1, PC)

I don't think this one moves up to the top tier of wrongpuraes for me (the two Dark Seeds and Hopkins FBI remains my top 3) but it's pretty good

I guess they did, yeah

They really should have made this guy Shadow's enemy instead of Sonic's

"Whoa, he's edgier than Shadow!" And then Shadow has to look deep inside himself and take his angst to the next level to overcome this new threat who's even cooler and darker than he is

What the FUCK

I just want to save this for now so I can read the reactions when I'm done watching this

My friend group that I introduced to The Room actually went to NYC and saw a screening of it that was HOSTED BY TOMMY WISEAU and I was so pissed and jealous. They got to meet him and everything.

Well, here's the thing about things hosted by Tommy Wiseau. He's done panels and stuff and opened it up for questioning. People then ask a question and he goes "Haha, thank you. Next question." And he doesn't answer a single question. He doesn't understand how questions work.

THAT'S EVEN BETTER

I would be honored to have Tommy Wiseau ignore my question

The Room is a great movie to watch with friends

i don't mean friends, I mean a theatre full of people


anybody who has not experienced this, you need to try it

bring a box of plastic spoons with you

No I didn't misunderstand you, but it's also just a great movie to watch with friends

The Room is a great movie to watch with friends

When people refer to it as the "Citizen Kane of bad movies" they aren't joking

It's not quite perfect! He needed to punctuate the water bottle throw and "I did naaaaht" a bit more, and his "oh hi Mark" sounds too resigned and similar to his previous lines when it should be like, total emotional whiplash. Wiseau sounds almost cheerful when he says "oh hi Mark"
