If your standards are limited to "pretty", you have low standards.

well, you can set your standards higher if you happen to fulfil all the criteria above as a guy

Im sorry that you cant get a date

I've been on many dates before.
You were saying?

what women look for in men:
- must be rich
- must be really tall
- must be fit/attractive
- must have charisma
- must be funny
- must also be (or pretend to be) kind-hearted
- must have compatible horoscopes

What men look for in women:
- Just look pretty.

this is gender equality amirite

I get it, it's a movie...but couldnt they at least be somewhat realistic. Everytime there's that big car chase, suddenly the car flips or does some crazy flying stunt or speed crashes into something.

And everytime the character somehow either gets saved by the safety cushion or.. look at this s***

No. That is wrong. A dinosaur is a reptile. Just because some of them have had feathers or protofeathers does not mean that they are not reptiles.

Also something that people probably didn't know is that some relatives of crocodilians actually survived the asteroid impact 66 million years ago.

yknow if there's one thing scientists are really bad at... it's giving animal names. Why not call these as 'bloodsucker', 'death mauler', 'jaw biter' or some memorable easy-to-say and spell words

I think the only reason the t-rex is popular is because it can be shorterned to t-rex. No one is gonnna bother saying tyrannosaurus

Yes

Did you know that birds are reptiles?

Yes.

Did you know that birds are still dinosaurs and therefore dinosaurs still exist and live among us today?

interesting stuff

no

tweens and girls doing 10-second dance videos and receiving millions of likes and followers. people doing lipsyncs or making corny jokes only a 12-year old could laugh at.

how the hell is this app even so popular. Makes me wonder if the majority of the world population is this dumb to be appealed to

forget her hair. WTF is wrong with her eyelid extensions

and that didnt turn out to be catfish?

yeah DB always had an utter crap story and characters.

Only thing keeping it going is nostalgia. Plain and simple. Toei should have used the DBS animation team on One Piece instead SMH.

It was the Luffy vs Katakuri fight back then and the best animators could have been utilised

I just hate the name for it so much. Like, why is Red just not called Saiyan God and then Blue called Super Saiyan God? It would've made so much sense.

Maybe because Toriyama only thought of SSJ Blue after SSJ God? What would SSJ Blue be called then...? Super Saiyan God 2.0? God Ultra?

uhhh yeah, it's not unbeliable by any means given that the House is majority Dems

What'd be unbelievable is him actually being impeached successfully through the Senate

you'd think seeing their previous movie only gross half its box office to budget would make WB reconsider their sequel choices

Is this something you can support and stand by Trump for, even if you hate him?

WASHINGTON (NYTIMES) - United States President Donald Trump has suggested to aides that he wants to pardon himself in the final days of his presidency, according to two people with knowledge of the discussions, a move that would mark one of the most extraordinary and untested uses of presidential power in American history.

In several conversations since Election Day, Mr Trump has told advisers that he is considering giving himself a pardon and, in other instances, asked whether he should and what the effect would be on him legally and politically, according to the two people.

It was not clear whether he had broached the topic since he incited his supporters on Wednesday (Jan 6) to march on the Capitol, where some stormed the building in a mob attack.
Mr Trump has shown signs that his level of interest in pardoning himself goes beyond idle musings. He has long maintained he has the power to pardon himself and his polling of aides' views is typically a sign that he is preparing to follow through on his aims. He has also become increasingly convinced that his perceived enemies will use the levers of law enforcement to target him after he leaves office.

No president has pardoned himself, so the legitimacy of prospective self-clemency has never been tested in the justice system and legal scholars are divided about whether the courts would recognise it.

But they agree a presidential self-pardon could create a dangerous new precedent for presidents to unilaterally declare they are above the law and to insulate themselves from being held accountable for any crimes they committed in office.
A White House spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.

===================================================================

Mr Trump has considered a range of pre-emptive pardons for family, including his three oldest children - Mr Donald Trump Jr, Mr Eric Trump and Ms Ivanka Trump - and Ms Trump's husband, senior White House adviser Jared Kushner, as well as for close associates like his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Mr Trump has expressed concerns to advisers that a Biden Justice Department might investigate all of them.
Mr Trump, who has told advisers how much he likes having the power to issue clemency, has for weeks solicited aides and allies for suggestions on whom to pardon. He has also offered pre-emptive pardons to advisers and administration officials.
Many were taken aback because they did not believe they were in legal jeopardy and thought that accepting his offer would be seen as an admission of guilt, according to the two people.
Presidential pardons apply only to federal law and provide no protection against state crimes. They would not apply to charges that could be brought by prosecutors in Manhattan investigating the Trump Organisation's finances.
The discussions between Mr Trump and his aides about a self-pardon came before his pressure over the weekend on Georgia officials to help him try to overturn the election results or his incitement of the riots at the Capitol.
Mr Trump allies believe that both episodes increased Mr Trump's criminal exposure, and more potential problems emerged for the President on Thursday when the Justice Department said it would not rule out pursuing charges against him over his role in inciting Wednesday's violence.
"We are looking at all actors, not only the people who went into the building," said Mr Michael Sherwin, the top federal prosecutor in Washington.

You know that artists make the most money out of anyone, right?

uhhh no? lol wtf where did you hear that?

If you mean the top 0.00001% of artists in the world out of millions of povery-striken straving artists out there... sure.

just because the internet hates Trump doesn't mean it translates directly into the situation in real life.

let that sink in.

I don't think this is why people ghost actually. Even dudes who have not had girls blow up on them ghost.
That is just a covenient excuse.

only immature people ghost. If you don't want to continue a convo, just leave a 1-word message or something. No need to pretend like you didnt see the damn message and suddenly forgot about the existence of the person you're talklng to.

That's how horrible it is. Because you're essentially tellling the person, 'your existence is not even worth acknowledging'

Aressar posted...

There yet another worse type of behavious (that I've been guilty of in the past). The type of person who gets irrationally emotional when rejected and doesn't know how to graciously take "no" for an answer.

The reason this is worse is because this is the reason why some people make a habit of ghosting.

and how the hell does 'ghosting' prevent that or make things better exactly? Someone infuriated at the ghoster can also do a double-text to express said anger.

Ghosting is even worse because it's basically just putting the other person in the dark forever. How'd you like it if you talk to someone politely and the person just keeps ignoring you? Somehow this immature behavior is ok when it's on text?

Words cannot express my immense anger.

Even worse. No, THE worse... are the kind of people that agree to meetups but don't turn up in the end.

Really effin' degenerates that should all go to hell

Really assholes. Bloody manipulative craps that don't deserve an ounce of empathy.
They should all go and *(@3&^%^

I want to use more vulgar words but will refrain to avoid the mods.

But seriously, screw these kind of people. Words cannot express how much I hate them.

You people don't know the world, do you? There are countries like Taiwan, SK and Japan that actually support Trump.

They support Trump purely because Trump is against China and these countries have generally huge animosities against China and the communist party too. Of course, this is a minority but it does align with the overall anti-China sentiment found prevalent in TW, JP and SK.

Taiwan is particularly fond of Trump from a survey I read before. In fact more over Biden.

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/capitol-violence-trump-cabinet-members-discussing-his-removal-13912000

Members of President Donald Trump's Cabinet on Wednesday (Jan 6) discussed the possibility of removing Trump from office after his supporters stormed the Capitol, three American news channels reported.
The discussions focused on the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which allows for a president's removal by the vice president and Cabinet if he is judged "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office".
Invoking it would require Vice President Mike Pence to lead the Cabinet in a vote on removing him.
CNN quoted unnamed Republican leaders saying the 25th Amendment had been discussed, saying they had described Trump as "out of control".

They do. DB fights were already officially less than a second before Z even started.

which makes no sense because you can see the other characters talking during the fight. Unless you're saying the spectating characters are talking at blitz speed roughly equal to that of Goku's speed fighting the villian

I heard Toriyama tried to backtrack and said the fight was slowed down in animation, but that again has a big flaw. We see all the environmental damage and debris flying in normal speed.

If the animation was truly slowed down, then Goku and Freiza should be the only ones seen in normal motion. Any object they touch. Any character they pass by. Every dust and particle ... should ALL be in slow motion instead.

The Immortals fight scene is the best example I'd say of showing how it's truly like if characters are moving at lightning speed but animated in normal speed. You can see how the monsters turn into slow motion the moment they're killed and all the debris fly about in slow motion too.

Apparently little child Goku was already moving near speed of light lol

And who knows how fast Ultra Instinct Goku and Jiren were moving at. I think the moment the spectators moved their lips and uttered a single word, realistically the whole fight would already be over.

Realitically it'd be like:
"Whoa, Goku just obtained a new form and-- oh wait, what happened? Jiren just got defeated."

um no they dont

um yes they do.

since Goku and villians are able to move at multiple times the speed of light

Bro it just started a week ago give it time

I meant 2010 to 2020. Past decade = 10 years dude

Borat is literally the only one I know of and it had a pretty small opening too. There's also Deadpool. Apart from that, I don't know much of anything else.

Has movie critics' stupid distaste for comedy finally scared away all the funnies? Killed off the comedy genre in hollywood?

If anything, I'm only glad Netflix is taking over through streaming and shutting down the influence of movie critics these days. Now audiences no longer need to google a movie's review score after taking a wait-see approach. They can now easily access any movie they want without barriers

Zero_Destroyer posted...

To expand upon that; you're alleging that RT critics are biased and/or solely politically correct because "muh womenz" get movies with below average film scores on RTs with mixed results when it comes to audience scores and/or box office performances.

What an insane argument. All of the films you listed have a score below 7.00 on RT lol, except the first Wonder Woman.

Lucy: 6.00

Ocean's 8: 6.3

Ghostbusters: 6.5

Captain Marvel: 6.8

The 1st Wonder Woman film had both positive critic reception and audience reception whereas the above trended towards below average reception from critics to below average-negative audience reception, though Captain Marvel was pretty notably review bombed and broke 1 billion at the box office, so "real" audience reception was likely positive.

We can keep going with this but honestly this shit's tired and embarrassing. It's always people whose cultural grasp of film is just disney/star wars/superhero stuff and nothing else. It's like that dude who had a meltdown over Parasite winning over Joker because all he knows is shootfight movies lmao

people look at that big bright red RT score bar unfortunately, not metacritic or the average score. The computation by RT is also shoddily poor because it is just assembled by positive vs negative percentage, not the actual average scores totalled up

Zero_Destroyer posted...

Also, hey, while I'm here, the reason Justice League is bad is because it was a mesh of two different director's ideas. Whedon and Snyder had entirely different ideas on approaching the movie and Whedon was essentially brought on as a fixer for the studio, resulting in a short, incohesive mess that was too inconsistent in tone and ideas from BvS/MoS and too basic in terms of plot/character. Steppenwolf was a CGI mess and was a very poor antagonist, which is something DC usually nails, or at least makes divisive. Multiple character plotlines were cut down significantly, making the film have less depth.

Critics didn't hate it because of Snyder. That's not even a coherent argument since he wasn't the sole director of the project. They didn't like it because it was a mess.

I actually am willing to defend Snyder but JL wasn't entirely his doing which is why a "Snyder Cut" even exists. The fact you don't even know this after the massive media campaign success about it is baffling since you apparently keeps tabs on critic opinions of every female-led movie.

Critics aren't abusing their power. You just don't understand film or film criticism or even basic details of the films you're defending or attacking. Close this abomination of a thread, please god

Whedon was uncredited as director so Snyder got the name for a film he didn't intend to create. Also if you read the critic reviews, they actually reference Snyder a lot more than Whedon

Wutobliteration posted...

So what exactly was bad about JL apart from critics telling you it's bad becos they hate Snyder?

also waiting on this reply.

Exactly proves my point on how easily critics influence subconsciously people's perception of movies.

Idk dude seems like youre just screaming into the void over nothing

I've made these topics before for many other movie examples of critics abusing their power to give unjustified reviews.

But of course, my voice goes unheard as always. And next thing ya know, another s***ty movie gets positively rated by RT and people wonder what's going on and why I'm triggered.

It's like telling people ice caps are melting but no one gives a s*** then wonders what's going on when a flood suddenly happens.

Man of Steel is debatable, but Justice League is straight garbage. Watching grass grow is more exciting than Justice League.

So what exactly was bad about JL apart from critics telling you it's bad becos they hate Snyder?

Seriously, amazing how much it can take for people to continue thinking movie critics are legit.

They could give Dragonball Evolution 90% and I wouldn't be the least shocked if people then think that movie is the greatest s*** ever

A 65% RT for what was supposed to be a major blockbuster is pretty fucking bad dude. Dont know why youre having this melty

not bad enough for a movie this bad. Also you're telling me this movie is somehow better to the likes of Man of Steel (which is arguably much better) and Justice League?
