Its weird that youre laughing at the idea of becoming an adult who isnt struggling against pointlessly violent urges. Thats not healthy and its not good. Were all flawed people, dude, this aint shit talking.

Wait, what makes you think Im struggling?

These are just thoughts that flitter in and out, with no victim at the end of the day. Its only been fairly recent that we, as a species, decided that wed stop killing indiscriminately and now politely kill each other instead under government-approved conditions. You dont need therapy to easily accept that.

Yeah straight up, the amount of dudes who will proudly admit that theyd beat their partners if only they could find one is insane.

Is that saying much, though?

There are at least several men Id beat, if I did not have to worry about going to prison for it. Yeah, Im straight so they werent my partners, but Im sure that violent feeling is born out of some kind of anger that is common to humans.

Meh, depends on a bunch of things.

Some people got really big homes and actually get along well with their families. For some, like a couple of my friends, at least one parent is disabled and needs help doing simple things.

She looks pretty good. Why did she look so different and get so much hate in TLJ?

This magic is called makeup plus a nice dress. In Star Wars, you were seeing a more accurate version of what she looks like.

Or am I allowed to just be my white self but all the characters have lines referring to me as a minority?

Steve Martin sort of did that in The Jerk.

It was hilarious, but certain audiences would probably boycott it today.

Youre lucky.

Almost every woman I know tolerates beards, but definitely prefer a clean-shaven look. I thought I was imagining it, until I started asking them directly. Its like mostly us guys that are into beards and we just assumed all women would be too, similar to how we work hard to bulk up and then you find out all the women like Robert Pattinsons build, which is like most Kpop male idols.

TC, if it makes you feel better, nobody I know considers Requiem a profound movie. Its like we watched it, then blocked it out of our minds.

Shawshank Redemption and Good Fellas still hit the proper nostalgia buttons, though.

Are people really using Wil fucking Wheaton as an standard for anything? Everyone hates him because he's Will fucking Wheaton

No way, dude.

Were you a Trekkie back then? The community fucking hated Wesley Crusher. He was mostly a smug little prick who was a prime example of the male Mary Sue, or a Gary/Marty Sue. It felt like episodes were shoehorning him into scenes that he had no business being in, let alone allowing him to save the day on several occasions.

When the actor started becoming more vocal and active as an adult, milking his Star Trek fame, it just kind of cemented the resentment a lot of people felt for him. Of course he does have his fans as well.

prince charles is one of the fuckin Lucifer worshippers who would never see himself defiled by marrying someone not 100% pure like himself

Why keep bringing up the alleged Lucifer worship, as if thats some kind of deal breaker?

I thought you dont bow down to any king or queen. Lucifer is the ultimate literary character expression of that stance. He was the first true rebel against a dictator.

No, Id probably die one way or another.

I think thats sort of the point of that movie. You cant trust anyone, not even yourself. Its implied that infected humans dont realize what they are, until theyre in danger. Plus, even a simple touch is a death sentence.

I love how he thought going into a gym dressed in women's clothing and getting harrassed by people would be the big epic "gotcha" that proves his anti trans message.

South Park did an early episode with Eric Cartman accusing another boy of being gay because he (Cartman) put the kids dick in his mouth when he was sleeping.

Of course the other boys considered Cartman a dumbass.

Im just wondering what the my truth phrase means, as opposed to regular old truth.

Maybe those were secretly atheists cheering that Kevin Sorbo was hit. J/k, I wouldnt want Kevin Sorbo to be hit by a car, maybe a bicycle though.

But the war between the US and the USSR was rarely fought at the expense of white people, nor does it disprove the idea that the US is a white supremacist, imperialist state.

Come on now.

USA and USSR pissed each other off so much, they both travelled to space. If one could have wiped the other off the map, without repercussion, Im sure they would have. Historically, I dont think many white people had too many reservations about killing heaps of other white people, including members of their own nation.

Yeah, probably I would.

I dont blame those people for taking roles like that. Theyre actors. Its their job. They need to eat and pay bills, too.

If we're "a little less white" how does that mean we are more racist than the US?

Devils in the details, sir.

I was not saying Canada isnt less racist than the US. I was cautioning that its not a significant gap, whether people want to admit that or not. Regardless, both countries are full of diversity and theyre a lot less racist than many other countries that practice racism practically by default.

@pinky0926 is right that the US just seems to be the worst to a lot of people, including many CEmen here, because its a nation that is scrutinized a lot by pretty much everyone else and there is at least some effort to push, albeit awkwardly and slowly, towards a more open future.

canada is literally right above the usa

Eh, Canadas a bit of a stretch. Sure, theyre a little less white, but mainly because theyve got a decent sized Asian community. Whats their black population, like 3 percent maybe?

I'm gonna take her word at face value ofc but it's just weird that you'd be willing to be intimate enough with a stranger to cuddle but have cuddle as the hard limit.

Why did you put an ofc there?

You dont know this person. She could be crazy or just trying to play you. Even your instincts are already letting you know this is all weird. I wouldnt let this person into my home or go into their home for our first date.

Don't let your dick do all the thinking for you.

Thanks for taking the time to explain the situation.

I love scorsese but i had more of an emotional reaction to Captain America picking up the hammer and the final showdown with Thanos and everyone coming back than i had with any of his movies.

I loved the hammer scene too, but we could see that coming from a mile away, maybe even earlier than the after-party scene with all of the Avengers trying to move it. Does that make it not art (i.e. cinema), if the writer or director obviously put it in for fans to orgasm to? Im really not sure.

RchHomieQuanChi posted...

This seems to be that classic debate on what gets to be called "art", but just in the context of movies.

I think Scorsese is making the argument that "art" and "products" are mutually exclusive, but I'd have to disagree there.

True, Im not a big fan of gatekeeping, which Scorsese is doing. But if I were a filmmaker like him, maybe Id feel the same.

RchHomieQuanChi posted...

I can only assume he's conflating it with auteurism, but the term and idea of cinema predates that concept so it's wrong.

He compared Marvel movies with theme parks.

CruelBuffalo posted...

The Irishmen was a boring lame movie

While that might be true, it doesnt hurt his argument. Boring is the risk you take, when youre not really concerned with what the audience thinks. Take Avengers: End Game, for example. Its the opposite of boring. But it should be obvious to anyone that it was a massive pandering fest. Its a spectacle and is full of scenes that 100 percent looked like they were put in to satisfy Marvel fans. Thats Ok. It was a lot of fun. Its Ok to be honest and admit that.

if more pro-life people saw how animals are slaughtered, theyd stop eating meat

see? I can do it too

Does that actually help the pro-choice argument though?

I mean yes, more people probably would stop eating meat if they were made to watch slaughter videos. Better yet, imagine how many people would nope out of hunting and cleaning a kill, if that was the legal requirement for eating meat.

On the other hand, some people say that he deserves all the praise in the world for creating jobs and opportunities for people to make money

i think Bezos deserves praise for setting up and maintaining a platform that provides fast delivery of a massive range of items to customers all over the world. Thats a big deal. Obviously there are employees that handle the physical aspects of all this, which they get paid to do.

if automating out workers in mcdonald's is such an easy task that an increase in minimum wage would change their minds, why would such a rich company not already have done that to save even more? with shareholders to please, wouldn't that be the best option?

Theyll do it. Just give them time.

McDs already implemented the self-order kiosks, though Im not sure if its everywhere yet. If I was an owner, Id move to automation as soon as possible, to avoid the headaches of HR and payroll.

Most of the Koreans I know are light skinned, but Ive heard the whitening creams are still popular there. I guess theyre trying to get as pale as possible. Of course, there are also some Kpop idols who are from other countries, and maybe they arent very light to begin with.

Yeah, I remember that video. Also remember the video before this, the one theyre referencing, and how it was supposed to be this huge thing for reactions. They tried to make it sound like they were helping reaction creators out and wed all sit around and marvel at it, Lol. They probably never guessed theyd generate such backlash, but all the resulting damage control was pretty obvious as such.

These two are so obnoxious.

Firing squad is pretty fucked up ngl

You get a handful of people, give all but 1 of them blanks, tell them to aim and fire. Somebody who had a blank could walk away thinking they killed a man <_<

Perhaps the intention is opposite of that. If the shooters do not know who had the live rounds, they dont have to assume they did and its less of a burden.

That being said, Im not sure why any member of an execution squad would feel guilt anyway, considering its a job.

I mean they are attributing things done by dead people to a whole race of people that include people fighting for equal right

True.

Conflict, your passion about these subjects is very moving

Unfortunately, Ill continue using that label because thats the nicest description I can use, while remaining accurate. I guess we could use grifter instead for Sarkeesian, but only she is making the money, so that would leave out her fans.

Im really conflicted about that, though.

On the one hand, you make a good point. On the other, having an open discussion with differing views is a big part of the bedrock of Western values. For example, you and I might not agree on much, but Im still glad you can share your opinion... then I can tell you its the wrong opinion.

J/k, but you get what Im saying.

Id probably make a joke like going bald makes you even smarter. So in my case, Id be the smartest person in the room. Yeah, its cheesy, but making it sexual instead could cause problems and a laugh at a lame harmless joke could put the room at ease.

Thats the thing, there has been I believe 1 death in the entirety of the Hong Kong protests. Compare that to the, what, dozens of deaths-by-cops that have occurred here in the U.S. since the George Floyd protests started? China isnt handling the protests perfectly but they are handling them a hell of a lot better than we are here.

Come on, man. I like you overall, but that is just naive.

Like the coronavirus incident, there is absolutely no way to know the full extent of Chinas crackdown on protesters and their handling of information, because they control their media and have a huge impact on Hong Kong. Once they fully get their claws into Hong Kong, no one is going to know for sure how many people start disappearing.

Your mileage may vary.

I know a couple guys who were basically knocked out for around 12 hours. They just slept. Two women felt like shit for three days. They still worked, still went for groceries and such, but they looked like leftover food thats been left out for too long and they had trouble even resting.

That being said, the dozens of other people I personally know, including some 70-somethings, experienced no real discomfort at all
