I wonder what percentage of people who defend Lizzo and say fat is beautiful would date someone, a man or woman, Lizzo's size?

Most of those people also wouldn't have access to the stylists and designers Lizzo has either.

He saves them both. That's kind of the defining quality of Superman, though all the edgelords trying g to make him into a gritty dark hero seem to miss that point.

That's not the defining trait of Superman at all and it's been touched on numerous times in the comics that for all Supermans power it's impossible for him to save everyone. He is one man who can't possibly be everywhere at once. There's also the issue that comes up all the time of how much he should do.

The fact that he balances all this stress and responsibility that would break anyone else while still keeping an optimistic outlook is the point and if anyone doesn't understand the character it's you.

Superman definitely has it worse, he's just more well adjusted.

Superman has to be in a constant state of awareness, he's one of the strongest things in the DC universe and any misstep or lapse could cause major damage to the things he loves. But despite that, he still can never do enough. No matter how fast, strong, or powerful he can't save everybody and his super senses would make him aware of every one of those people he couldn't save. Every scream, every dying breath, he'd be aware of, at least at the back of his mind.

With great power comes great responsibility and there are few heroes as powerful as Superman, and certainly none who embody to people what Superman does.

I dont think its possible to misinterpret any film. Movies are art, and art is subjective. There is no right or wrong way to interpret them.

Tell that to the people who think American History X is a pro racism film

i mean you're not wrong though. as a movie, scarface isn't really well-rounded and defined. it's almost more of an action movie in that sense, cool scene to cool scene with very little substance in between.

it's the flashy side of gangster movies. some things are just iconic. but as a movie, as a whole, it's really not that great. it never was.

I think part of the reason it's so iconic is because it's almost a denouncement of the type of 80's, flashy, stylish lifestyle because it's always got a certain grittiness to it as well which shows how fake that lifestyle is.

But it ultimately accomplishes it by just being a flashy, style over substance movie that you can turn your brain off and go "cool" then say a random quote from.

But either way, Godfather it's not.

Perhaps it could keep them likable my having them all denounce current conservative thought

Yeah but at that point it's not really the same show.

I mean, Dale likely would have resisted a lot of the more mean spirited stuff because he was always shown at heart to be a decent guy. But he would have gone along with most of the conspiracy stuff for sure.

In a lot of ways, it seems like it'll be hard to do the show without either completely transforming most of the characters or making them incredibly unlikable.

The show has always been a satire of blue collar, conservative republican Texans but it only worked because they were ultimately likable, something that will be harder to do now while still keeping them the same basic characters.

I'm curious how they're going to handle Dale. I mean, his whole thing was being a conspiracy theorist which is less funny in an age where the kind of crazy shit he said/believed is a legitimate political platform for a huge portion of the American population.

The only thing I can see them doing it is by making him do a roundabout where he says the conspiracies that the other conspiracy theorists theorize are the real conspiracies.

But let's face it, Dale from the original series would have been buying horse paste by the gallon and speaking out against the 5g microchip vax.

Yeah but its hard to not compare them. Gangster movie, Al Pacino

Yeah but TC said he likes movies like Godfather and Goodfellas but not Scarface, but if you're watching Scarface with the expectation of it being a serious crime drama you're going to be disappointed

It's not really meant to be taken seriously like Godfather or Goodfellas though.

It's iconic for being the epitome of the flashy, style-over-substance 80's.

damn, RIP to them.

there's also PopcornFairy, who was really cool; CountHammerstein(?) who basically chronicled how things were going until he died, Prelude2Enthropy, Foreman, & Mith, from what I can remember.

Not to disparage the dead but p2e was a pretty openly transphobic, I wouldn't lump him in with some of those others.

Yeah, I had people in my class in high school who didn't know who the Nazis were so I'm not shocked.

I'm more surprised that people are shocked by this. Maybe because I'm on the younger side of millenials, but I knew a few people who didn't know who the Nazis or Hitler were.

This. I mean if you're that old and wanna keep banging 20 year olds you do you, but bringing kids into it is pretty unfair.

Yes

There's kicking and punching too

I hope somebody was fired for that blunder

Goldenglow is almost certainly better than the drug fuelled maniac at least.

Still love Ceobe though

Yeah I use Goldenglow as a support a lot.

I wanted Warfarin because I thought I had her and bought a costume for her, but I had confused her with Whisperain. So I decided to try my luck with the guaranteed 5 star and it worked out

Man, I'm having insane luck. In Arknights, I pulled on the display operator up with a 10 pull ticket for the guaranteed 5 star to try to get Warfarin. Not only did I get Warfarin, I got Ceobe too lol

Edit: nvm I thought it was Ceobe but it looks like it was Goldenglow

Very nice! I had that happen in the Dusk banner back in the day.

I got Texas in 21 pulls, really good after my horrible Spalter and Gavial pulls. I kind of want Penance too, so not sure if I should keep going.

I wish I had saved up more originium with all those extra limited characters in the headhunting shop. I'd kill for Nearl or Skadi the Corrupting heart, but I don't have nearly enough.

Holy moses.

In arknights I got both the 6 stars within 50 pulls, and I pulled penance twice lol

Why those idiots start the remakes with 3? At the minimum it should start with MGS1 but it would be better if they start with MG then MG2

Going in chronological order rather than release order, maybe?

did any of the Jim Carrey comedy movies age well?

his non-comedy movies are still re-watchable.

Cable Guy
Moon Man
The Truman Show

Liar, Liar? I haven't seen a Jim Carrey comedy movie in forever but I remember it being fine.

Dumb and Dumber is immature but I don't remember anything particularly offensive about it (outside of shock value offensive anyway)

Uh, that's literally how it's always worked. Why the fuck do people care so much about tone? Only content matters.

But most of his content is just "lmao" and random insults, so he doesn't add much value in that respect either. Most of the stances he takes people are already defending and far more coherently.

As much as he likes to randomly start arguments with me I find myself agreeing with him more often than not, but I've still never seen him add anything of value to a discussion.

I know it might sound bad
But I preferred Stacey's Dad

Outside of the movies Star Wars is arguably better than it's ever been.

Hell, even most of the worst parts of the movie are fixed in other places. It doesn't make the movies any better but as far as being an overall fan of the universe goes, it helps.

I waffle. On the one hand the idea we just live for a few years and then we're just nothing for eternity, and that we'll be gone a lot longer than we'll be alive is pretty scary.

But on the other hand, we were also nothing for a looooong time before we were born so, it's kinda whatever.

Plus sometimes the idea of just not existing is kind of nice

I feel mildly ashamed at how long it took me to realize you're supposed to use Rewind on certain attacks to send them back ._. I mostly forgot about it aside from occasionally using it to get to sky islands, and wondered how the hell I was supposed to dodge certain attacks, like the Taluses throwing their arm at you

No, not yet. Just because we opened it, it doesn't mean that it's ready yet, >.< . It needs time for chemicals and stuff make it okay to swim in.

That being said, it should be soon

I don't have a lot of pool knowledge but sounds awesome!

@MedeaLysistrata

It runs very well and looks good on my tablet; it is (for the time being) a much easier space to justify than Genshin because the file size is a lot smaller, too. I have both on my tablet, but Star Rail runs and looks a little better for me.

As of my writing this post, yes.

And yes, but there's no guarantee i'll answer it if I don't like the question, >.<

Extrapolate this to a real world situation. If I perceived you had slighted me due to a mistake made in earnest and general sentiment said you were a bad person for doing so, wouldn't you feel a bit miffed.

If someone told me this in a real world situation and when questioned refuse to give any kind of context, I'd assume it was deserved then too.

The worst thing that can be said about this game is that it's not a big enough difference from botw, which is subjective. Personally I think they added a ton of new systems and things to do that make it more enjoyable.

But it does literally everything bigger and better than totk. If you liked botw I can't see a single reason not to like totk.

Is it the greatest sequel ever? Likely not, but that has more to do with the quality of botw than totk. Anyone expecting two games of BOTW quality and innovation in a row were expecting the moon. It's still easily a 10/10 game.

Nah, there was the supply issue, too. I don't really know much about it, but that might be part of why they needed to reapply for the license if distribution requirements were tightened up.

We just opened it today (well, technically yesterday), so I should be able to get in it soon, :D

Jelly :( I miss swimming. So refreshing

GrandConjuraton posted...

Nope. I haven't had it since like February, and that's part of why i've been struggling even more than usual. They lost their license at that clinic to administer it, I think, and only got it back within the last week or so...

In the near future? No, it's not looking we're going to get it fixed. We're having to be very careful to keep from having the electricity kick off by overloading the breakers, so that's even affecting even more than just our air conditioning... We might have to deal with this for a while until we can get something worked out.

Oh, I thought it was a supply issue. At least it's getting worked out.

That's too bad :/ can you start using your pool yet? That might help .

GrandConjuraton posted...

Nothing out of the ordinary, >.< . More or less just the usual, though i've picked up a new gacha (Star Rail) that i've liked a lot. I managed to get all three Fullmetal Alchemist characters in the War of the Visions gacha, too, so that's nice... and I should be able to start Spravato again on Tuesday.

Aside from the usual suffering, though, there's a new element to it right now: how hot my house is. We can't use the air conditioning because of electrical issues, and it's been 80+ degrees in the house.

Have you still not got the spravato from last time? Glad you're going to get it again, and that's good about the fma characters.

That sounds horrible. Is it something that can be fixed or?

What've you been up to
