| Topic | "Get politics out of sports/award shows" is code for Trumpists |
| Proto_Spark 09/22/20 11:43:19 AM #79 | scar the 1 posted... Donald Trump is some unintelligent actor and people seem to care what he thinks about politics. The actual truth is people don't want to hear about things they disagree with This. There's a reason saying a person is male or political is a meme. |
| Topic | Why are Thundercats Roar and Teen Titans Go so popular in the west? |
| Proto_Spark 09/22/20 11:17:08 AM #10 | I like TTGo... Its not great, but its stupid "lolrandomz" humour works for what it is. Its like Robot Chicken, but PG - so its fun to watch in little bursts or if you aren't sober, but it does get old fast. Most of the hate comes from it being Teen Titans and it being on like 99% of the day on Cartoon Network (which tbf, are valid complaints) The movie was also surprisingly decent tbh. |
| Topic | Which was your favorite of the main star wars sequel movies? |
| Proto_Spark 09/22/20 10:28:39 AM #4 | TLJ was my favourite. TFA wasn't bad but retreaded way too much water, but I think that's ok when it was always planned to be 3 movies and intended to be a start to a trilogy, it set a lot up to go in a new direction, which is what TLJ did. It doesn't seem like anyone is just meh on TLJ, everyone either loves it or hates it. Heck, if you aren't a Star Wars fan, and just want a explodey space romp, the Rise of Skywalker was... okay. If it was a movie on its own I think it wouldn't be nearly as bad, but it does such a bad job of concluding anything set up in the previous movies. |
| Topic | Romney fails to defy Trump on new judge |
| Proto_Spark 09/22/20 10:23:58 AM #18 | Steve Nick posted... Why would Romney be against this? While technically true, Romney is citing "precedent" as a reason why its fine for him to do this, which is a lie, since the precedent would be the one set in 2015 when the republicans refused to allow Obama to name a new judge because it was his final year in office. It certainly doesn't help that Romney is being a hypocrite here, even if its something he would want. Alpha218 posted... He has to know this will give the Dems ammo to stack the court if they win right? The republicans will just do the same thing they did in 2015, where immediately after Obama's pick expired when Trump took office, they started saying the minority democrats will be blocking the new appointment at whatever cost, since its bad when they do it and good when we do it. |

| Topic | Susan Sarandon's America: Romney moving forward with Justice nom |
| Proto_Spark 09/22/20 10:11:30 AM #3 | If he was following precedent, he wouldn't appoint a new justice, since the republicans set that precedent when they didn't allow Obama to choose a justice in 2015. Republican is a hypocrite who doesn't care about America, more at 11. |

| Topic | Xbox has never been profitable |
| Proto_Spark 09/21/20 10:16:16 AM #9 | Microsoft is only competitive with Sony in North America. Xbox is never going to beat Playstation altogether, so they have to be doing something good enough to keep it around. |

| Topic | The controversial JK Rowling book was #5 in the series. Have you read any others |
| Proto_Spark 09/20/20 6:27:17 PM #12 | gunplagirl posted... Speaking of her views, she picked the pen name of a famous gay conversion doctor. Nothing says she likes gay rights like going by the pen name of a man who tormented LGBT people... And then torturing LGBT people in her books after going on Twitter to explain that she doesn't like trans people. This. tbh its not like Rowling going on a TERF-tangent is new, its just she used to shut up when people got mad at her and this time she decided to double down, and then double down again, and then double down again, and she keeps losing. |

| Topic | How is the TWD still going on |
| Proto_Spark 09/20/20 12:13:55 AM #4 | Because people still seem to like it. tbh, its been really good I'm a little disappointed theyre cancelling it soon, since it felt like they wanted so badly to go off-script and do non-comic stuff, but now their stopping when the comics do? and probably not even doing the epilogue, since but tbh, the show is the worst TWD media, but I still enjoy it for what it is. It's also way better if you just binge it on Netflix or whatever instead of trying to watch it week-to-week. |

| Proto_Spark 09/20/20 12:07:34 AM #17 | Garioshi posted... If you can't afford to go to the doctor, you are not free. This. I mean, full socialism or communism isn't a correct answer either, but it doesn't have to be what we have now or the USSR. We can easily just do things like "hey, lets all have healthcare" |
| Topic | Netflix cancelations 5x more than normal due to cuties |
| Proto_Spark 09/20/20 12:05:21 AM #60 | 008Zulu posted... Out of curiosity, has anyone here actually watched it? Or are people just buying in to the Internet Rage posts on Facebook and Twitter? Here's a really long reddit post about it if you want to read https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueFilm/comments/ivs9tg/cuties_a_considered_response/ The idea is that these little girls are acting in the way we've pretty much conditioned little girls to want to behave to fit in with the famous women they see on TV and stuff, especially the main character, who lives in a very conservative family, so these sexual dances are a kind of escapism for her. There's certainly some parts that could have been done better, but it seems like the movie is about how we treat young girls in the world, and people are upset that the movie is pointing it out. |
| Topic | Netflix cancelations 5x more than normal due to cuties |
| Proto_Spark 09/19/20 11:54:33 PM #51 | People will forget within a month the next time something comes along to pretend to be outraged about, and by February everyone who cancelled will be all "wait, why don't I have a Netflix anymore?" and order it again. MorbidFaithless posted... Wow, what a bunch of pussies needing a safe space from da widdle bad movie No, its only cancel culture when only liberals are outraged. |
| Topic | Are you more interested in the Xbox Series S or Xbox SeX? |
| Proto_Spark 09/19/20 8:54:29 PM #11 | the handful of Xbone games I got were basically all just download licences anyways, so I might as well go all in since with the Series S since I'm gonna end up buying all my games online anyway. I still haven't decided between SeS and a disc-free PS5 yet though. |
| Topic | Is anyone getting the Xbox Series X or S? |
| Proto_Spark 09/19/20 12:37:07 PM #13 | There's a pretty good chance I'll end up getting a Series S, since its the cheap one. I'm not planning on any new consoles for quite a bit though, so It might depend on something going on sale or something idk. |

| Topic | So how's Super Mario 3D All Stars? |
| Proto_Spark 09/19/20 12:07:33 PM #38 | I never played 64 or Galaxy, and no longer have Sunshine, so I'm enjoying these quite a bit and think my money was well-spent. Would have liked Galaxy 2 considering its rated so highly, but whatever, I've got plenty of new content here. |

| Proto_Spark 09/19/20 12:07:48 AM #9 | RchHomieQuanChi posted... Idk, Brian is insufferable with his self-righteousness and hypocrisy Since like 90% of the time its the joke, I don't really have an issue with it. Chris doesn't really ever add much though, so I'd agree with him. at this point all the ****Ing on Meg just makes me sad though. |

Abortion will almost assuredly be banned and America will take its place as a despotic third world nation The SC is already conservative-heavy, they could technically already do that, couldn't they? instead we're going to get majority decisions that are way more controversial now, like "Trump can totally have 3 terms" or "what constitution, god-emperor Trump?" |
| Topic | We really don't need to hear from South Park right now. (Pandemic special) |
| Proto_Spark 09/18/20 11:04:53 PM #4 | iPhone_7 posted... The Altright is all giddy for more of their offensive type of humor. South Park will probably have a decent take on it, since they don't ever usually take the alt-right approach to something. Its always either like, the left approach or a stupid "enlightened centrist take" but SP never really takes the explicitly alt-right approach Besides, SP is the "offensive" type of humour that seems to be okay, since they're so over the top and obvious with the fact that its trying to be edgy humour. At least they aren't doing "its only a joke because I was being super ****ing racist and you didn't laugh" |
| Topic | USPS was going to send 5 masks to every US household. The White House killed it. |
| Proto_Spark 09/17/20 6:59:31 PM #8 | VonOrdelia posted... Kind of pointless, I don't think it's lack of masks that is why people aren't wearing them Back in April it definitely was, when lockdown was running strong and PPE's were horribly undersupplied around. If they did it now it probably wouldn't do much, but it definitely would've helped 4-5 months ago. |
| Topic | So I reread Bridge to Terabithia |
| Proto_Spark 09/17/20 6:54:04 PM #5 | This was one of my favourite movies as a kid, but I can say I basically have zero recollection of anything from the book. It might be worth reading again. Where the Red Fern Grows is another one of those children's books you cry to, although I've heard that one really doesn't read as well as an adult. |

| Topic | Will Biden agree to a 3 hour-ish Joe Rogan moderated debate with Trump? |
| Proto_Spark 09/17/20 6:35:31 PM #57 | Biden should say yes because Trump will 100% back out if he's put in an actual debate format where he can't just say something controversial to get attention. Being in like a 3-4 hour debate where he can't use soundbytes or something and has to actually answer his questions will kill Trump, even with Joe Rogan (who is about as sympathetic as Trump could reasonably hope for) as like, a moderator. |
| Topic | What would a PS5/Xbox go for during the holidays? |
| Proto_Spark 09/17/20 6:32:33 PM #4 | The cheapest is going to be the Xbox Series S, by a fair margin (its designed to be little better than a current PS4/XboneS) But you could probably add like, 100$ to the release price, or if you're lucky you can check places like Walmart to see if it'll be in stock (which is possible if not likely) |
| Topic | Candace Owens SHOOTS HARD on the left |
| Proto_Spark 09/17/20 6:26:55 PM #4 | So from everything I've heard, Cuties is a perfectly reasonable little girl coming of age movie movie with a ****-tier marketing strategy by Netflix. I don't have a Netflix, but has anyone actually seen this movie? literally every complaint I see is about like the trailer or the poster. I'm perfectly happy to accept this movie is actually problematic, its just I haven't seen anyone complain who acknowledges actually seeing the movie. |

| Proto_Spark 09/17/20 12:47:05 AM #14 | well that's ****. I mean, I was gonna get the cheaper version anyway, but still. If anyone else is interested in the lower tiers... PS5 disc-free 499 CAD XSS 379 CAD 500$ was about the price I was expecting for the PS5, I'm a little disappointed its only the disc-free version. fun fact, the 379 CAD is the price of buying a brand new PS4 now, so I think XSS is going to do well here. |
| Topic | Joe Biden plays Despacito through his phone at a Hispanic heritage month event |
| Proto_Spark 09/17/20 12:40:57 AM #97 | Y'know what I thought that was kind of adorable. It felt like one of his grandkids brought their hispanic boy/girlfriend to Christmas and he just wants to show he thinks their part of the family, but he doesn't have the slightest idea how since he's like a 900 year old man. Its a "he's a stupid old man" moment but feels like a more wholesome one. I mean this not being an issue at all would be a much better result, but ehh, I don't see the issue here. scar the 1 posted... Wow, he 100% mispronounced it on purpose There's absolutely no chance he didn't know how to pronounce despacito properly. its in the song, like 40 times. |

| Proto_Spark 09/15/20 10:26:09 PM #8 | Zikten posted... unless Sony has a payment plan too, they are going to lose this gen. Xbox All Acess cant be beat. Sony is winning regardless, since Xbox isn't really competitive anywhere except North America. Xbox is coming out strong for launch, but once PS5 starts building up the exclusives its going to be in higher demand. It's really looking like Xbox is winning launch at the very least - there's no way the Series S isn't going to sell like mad this year. |

| Topic | Do people outside of wrestling know the Undertaker? |
| Proto_Spark 09/15/20 10:21:01 PM #11 | He fits into the same zone as like Roddy Piper, or Macho Man, as if he's a crazy character from the 80s. He isn't a household name or anything, but he's basically the step lower. Like anyone who recognizes say, Jake the Snake would probably also recognize the Undertaker. That said, anyone who heard of him and didn't watch wrestling who be shocked to hear he only really retired earlier this year. Or even that he was a big name in the late 90s and even throughout the 2000s |
| Topic | Why wouldnt you buy an iPhone in 2020? |
| Proto_Spark 09/15/20 10:13:19 PM #9 | tbh literally the only reason I'm not using an iPhone is the lack of a headphone jack. As long as some good androids with headphone jacks exist I might not go back. I am also however, really happy with my S10e so I'm not looking for a new phone anytime soon. But if Apple is ever crazy enough to put a headphone jack back into their phone (which is never going to happen) I'd 100% buy it. |

| Proto_Spark 09/15/20 2:38:26 AM #51 | Theon_Greyjoy posted... Rogan will worry he wont be able to go hard on Biden because Rogans such a liberal, so hell bring in Tim Pool to help I don't know, do you really want to stack the liberal side so much? /s Trump 100% shouldn't want an extended debate with Joe Biden, because outside of being able to do "embarrass you with epic mic drop one liners" he doesn't stand a chance in a real debate. Even with Joe Rogan, who's as sympathetic to Trump as he could possibly hope for, an extended debate where they can stay on one topic as long as they want would kill Trump dead and prove without a shadow of a doubt that he doesn't have a ****ing clue what he's saying or doing. Trump depends on 90 second answers that don't really deal with anything and one liners so the crowd can go "woooooaaahhh" he can't do an extended conversation. |

Masterson has yet to directly respond to any of Bixler-Zavala's claims or his prior rape allegations made by Chrissie Carnell Bixler with the closest acknowledgment being Masterson's wife Bijou Phillips making an Instagram post mocking Carnell Bixler's court papers against Masterson wtf.
