it would be more impressive if she married a nobody. these celebrities always only get with other celebrities or at least people in the industry, like this writer for SNL.

I'd be impressed if she married a normal guy that is just a manager at walmart or something

Yeah, this fucking topic is weird.

Scarlett Johannson used to be married to Ryan Reynolds and dated Josh Hartnett. I mean she dated a bunch of different "Chads" in her prime, anyway. This new guy is not an incel either. Yes, she is a Hollywood star, but her fianc is on SNL and he isn't bad looking.

Nobody is saying that Tim Pool only wanting to date you if you're willing to be his baby factory and sit at home all day till your ass fuses to the chair is oppressive.

It's just sad.

I literally know women in real life who have openly admitted they would stay at home and chill if their husband made enough money to cover them both. These women make money, but they aren't interested in being the principal of the school they teach at or being the CEO of the business they help manage. I did not laugh at them or otherwise mock them when they said this. It's not sad, when progress has given people the freedom to make choices.

I don't know if Tim Pool is financially doing well or not, but assuming he is, could someone explain what is wrong with him wanting a wife who is not going to be preoccupied with her own career? He never said women shouldn't work, if that's what they want. The context, of course, is that his statement had to do with a working woman who is upset that not enough men are making as much money as her or have the stability that she wants in a relationship. But Pool is arguing that if a man is likewise doing well, then he probably would want a younger woman who wants to raise a family.

Referencing anything from Family Guy is terrible for the subject matter, I'll grant that.

This song is officially titled as Blurry, IIRC. The thread title was confusing me for a bit. Anyway, I like the lyrics and the intensity builds at a good pace. I don't know where I rate it against other songs, but I'll always take the time to listen to it to the end, whenever it is playing.

Honestly, with the persona she presents in her vids and the lyrics in her songs, I thought maybe wed find out she killed someone when she was younger, but it was never proven.

The reality is that farting on her friend is probably the most Bad Guy thing she will ever do.

Justin "Blackface" Trudeau

Imagine suddenly caring about it now. If people really cared about such things 2015 would've been a nice start.

I dont think most people knew that his obsession with blackface went as far as it did. Anyway, yeah, it shouldnt derail his career. But! Trudeau doesnt get to lecture anyone anymore from atop his high horse. The next time he tries that again with his eternally smug face, his audience should tell him to fuck off, or whatever the Canadian version of that is.

Maybe you are forgetting that the typical responses to those two are often very different.

The first is basically Life isnt fair, manlet. Youre not entitled to sex. Youre probably an incel anyway.

The second is Youre racist!

I need to give seminars to these incels letting them know that sex really ain't the cure-all for life's ailments. My problems never get any better just because I successfully bag a new girl.

Sure, but youre saying this from the perspective of someone who has had at least one sexual experience with a woman. I believe a lot of these incels cant say the same, thus they cant look at the issue the same way. Plus, sex is not the only concern some have. They are also looking for an emotional connection, ideally with a life partner, which is not something you can get from a prostitute, for example.

These guys need to know that they don't have shitty lives because they're not getting laid; they're not getting laid because they have shitty lives. The shitty lives part is what needs to be fixed first and foremost.

For the most part, I agree. I dont think you can fix being short or ugly, unfortunately. Well, not without a lot of surgery, anyway.

Why do they keep making these movies where

Too late for you to care it ends up being some deep ancient evil. Its like the final boss of a video game who makes his first appearance after you defeat the main antagonist through the entire game.

I dont understand your criticism. It is noted fairly early in the story that there is a supernatural element surrounding the family. There are signs, some literal, that there is both a cult at work and something ghostlike or demonic in effect.

yea basically if you dont bow down to america they run a smear campaign on you. and their propaganda is so fine tuned the people don't even realize they been brainwashed more than a NK citizen.

I don't disagree with your sentiment here - and as an Asian living in Australia, reading GameFAQs forums (or at least CE) which has a substantial if not majority US-based demographic, is quite insightful into topics around diversity and just general US views on the rest of the world.

Wait, you agree with him that citizens in a Western country like the US or Australia are more brainwashed than a citizen in North Korea? Are you delusional?

Edit: Australia

The rent, utilities, car payment, insurance, and maintenance, and internet are all higher than they need to be.

Why is someone with $22 / hour aiming for that much in rent? Get a room mate or live with family until you earn more. How on Earth is a single person consuming $317 for utilities?

Don't go for financing a new car. And if you are gonna finance a new car, you don't need to spend that much in repairs for quite a while.

Car insurance should be lower unless you have accidents. $30 internet should be adequate.

Yeah, all good points. These costs seem inflated.

This is a good video from a person born and raised in China who finally saw the country for what it really is when she went abroad for university (Macau) and married an American (including movie to the US and a lot of international travel).

You can actually see her progression over the years from being extremely nationalistic to her current views. Just listen to what she has to say about her own parents.

Interesting video. Thanks for that.

She seems to be in pain, when discussing this topic, especially when she acknowledged that nothing good comes from talking about it with her family and friends. You can tell she is trying to be very careful about what she says about China, and almost being too apologetic for even considering there could be a wide gap between the truth and what is taught and supported in her homeland. I imagine it could be difficult to travel back to or freely within China, if she were to speak candidly.

That's the game where you can have a chef cook a lot, right? I enjoyed it overall, but it seemed easy to break the gameplay by just loading up on tons of various potions and food.

Not knowing the difference between a hyphen and an apostrophe has nothing to do with linguistic evolution or prescriptivism vs descriptivism. Shut the fuck up.

Nope. Everyone is all of a sudden an English teacher, after Trump got elected. That guy is living in your head. Admit that first, before I even consider anything you say to be of worth.

This is a weird thing to criticize Trump for. Before he took office, people would make fun of others for correcting basic grammar errors, calling it racist, elitist and whatever other ist you could add. Words change, languages change, and it was stupid to focus on "obsolete" rules that were too rigid on spelling, punctuation and such. That shit was the popular response to criticism, even here on CE.

Wow another white woman. GROUNDBREAKING

How about casting a WOC? They do exist you know.

Casting women in lead roles in movies is like anal sex; You have to ease in to it, start off with a white woman, and once people are warmed up to the idea, then introduce women of colour.

That would make sense, except we went from the fantastic Carrie Fisher to Natalie Portman, then Daisy Ridley and Felicity Jones, and now its supposedly Brie Larson.

I would like to see Nathalie Emmanuel in Star Wars. If she does not eventually blow up into a big star, then I blame her agent or maybe a lack of drive. She should be in more things.

Why is it so shocking for some people that a person can have some views that are considered left wing and other views that are considered right wing totally legitimately and not contradicting each other.

For some people, you have to pick a side, just like you would with any team or tribal competition. Since its an us vs them worldview, they find it unacceptable to maintain neutrality or for a person to be nuanced with a wide range of views, as you pointed out.

they actually want people jailed over tweets? ireland is a joke

You probably didnt read the article as always

Hes probably not wrong about the jail comment, though. The article stated that the offended couple contacted the police (AKA the Garda) and were upset that it was considered a civil matter. Now the couple is pushing not only for legal reform but also tougher regulations in social media. Like, WTF? Twitter already banned the main culprit for making racist tweets against the couple. They want cops to get involved when someone says something mean to them?

Indeed. Other than the fact that Carson King raised a million dollars for charity, the best part of the story for me was learning that the reporter, who outed King's tweets when King was a teenager, also had posted a whole bunch of racist tweets in the past. This is all fucking hilarious in a sad way.

He's not really wrong about the left mirroring the right lately. A lot of them have become the new Puritans. They are very quick to push for censorship, boycotts, firings, social and academic expulsions, and even violence in some situations, if you don't follow their groupthink. It might not technically be called a religion, but this warped version of political correctness and regressivism might as well be.

Keep in mind that when the right pushes their religious agendas, we can easily point to it, laugh or deride it as a gross abuse of their position and power. They are mocked for it and only praised by like-minded individuals or those politicians who are looking to exploit them for votes. I don't think there is anyone on the left, especially here on CE, that would even admit that such a smiliarity even exists.

Yes. I had a boss who did not do much, would show up for work hours late very often, gave instructions that often conflicted with each other, rarely offered any practical advice and was generally a very demoralizing presence in the office. Pretty much everyone who interacted with her could barely stand her. The turnover rate for employees was fairly high and I did leave when it was unbearable, but I lasted longer than most. She left too, eventually.

It was an overall terrible experience because of her, so I sympathize with any employee who is going through something similar.

I support this girl. She's doing the right thing. I don't even care if she makes money off this effort or not, although she seems genuine and not at all interested in personal gain or fame. If we were doing a better job of cleaning the planet of our mess, then maybe we wouldn't need a teenager to chastise us about our failures. At any rate, I'm not sure if we can convince a nation like China to go along with any of this.

he's a kid who has been bullied his whole life who finally finds some self-confidence, respect form his most beloved heroes, and some friends. He's going to be over emotional at times because he isn't used to such kindness. Of course you wouldn't understand because you're a normie. Then you wonder why people have emotional break downs and commit acts of violence.

No. I get that he was bullied by that asswipe Bakugo and his minions, and now he (Midoriya) gets to train to be a super hero, which is something he once thought was practically impossible. There are a lot of expectations from the teachers and he is setting his own high standards for himself, but he is also supported by his mother and his super hero idol. Crying about the craziness of it all is normal. But we are heading into Season 4. Season. Four. That's enough with the crybaby shit. He has the potential to be his world's Superman and he's being trained by veteran super heroes to do it right. On top of that, Midoriya is a 16-year old young man and he should stop this bullshit of trying to be his bully's number one fan.
---

...

Midoriya better develop a quirk that stops him from crying all the damn time. It was tolerable in the beginning, especially when he was quirkless, but now him being a crybaby is just annoying. Add that to the fact he still tries to be Bakugo's biggest fan, instead of busting his head open like he should have done a long time ago, is quickly changing making me want to drop the series.

I'm pretty angry right now do I don't want to go on a tirade, but I will say if you don't want your husband to work, and you divorce him because he works, then you shouldnt get the fruits of his work as well. As it is, hes now staying with his sister until he gets an apartment, because his wife is staying at the house that they bought...with his money...because of his work...which she had issue with him doing.

Yes, I pretty much agree with all that. Hopefully, your uncle won't lose out too much in the end.

Whats with Hollywood making Mexicans the new enemy?

It was ok with Nazis because well, they were Nazis, and most of them are dead.

But Mexicans are real people from our day and age and many are good people (whereas there are no good Nazis).

Terminators new bad guy is Mexican.
Rambo fights Mexicans.
Didnt Clint Eastwood just star in a movie where he defends his village against Mexicans too?

I would not be surprised if the bad guy in the new Star Wars movie is called Darth Spanish or if vandamme comes for bloodsport II where the bad guy is a Mexican boxer who fights with loaded gloves or something

Maybe Hollywood's new enemies should be Indonesian?

I guess they could be Mongolian.
