| Topic | What's the worst remake/reboot/adaptation from Tim Burton? |
| FortuneCookie 07/26/21 6:59:29 PM #4 | Anyone who says Batman is trolling. |
| Topic | Kevin Smith and this He-Man thing... |
| FortuneCookie 07/26/21 6:04:09 PM #20 | spikethedevil posted... Not sure how the Brave trailer was deceptive. It presented the movie as if it was going to be an adventure and all we got was a tomboy shooting arrows. It had a good mother-daughter dynamic though. |

| FortuneCookie 07/26/21 1:21:10 PM #17 | The worst possible ranking of the Rocky/Creed series? Edit: One of the worst. 6 is a good movie. Placing 5 at the front would make it the worst possible ranking. |

| Topic | Andrew Cuomo delaying legal weed in NY because he's a petty asshole |
| FortuneCookie 07/26/21 11:03:06 AM #6 | How the fuck is this gropy asshole still in office? Tribalism is the worst part of politics. It's okay for him to be a molester and keep his job if it was okay for Trump to be a molester and keep his. :/ |
| Topic | Left Leaning peeps, what is your most conservative view? |
| FortuneCookie 07/26/21 10:54:32 AM #163 | averagejoel posted... but if you define it only according to talking points rather than the actual ideology, then pretty much any political view can be associated with several different ideologies. which one it gets associated with is then dependent entirely on how often it gets discussed. And there are right-wingers who think that the rich have too much money. It doesn't change which side of the spectrum that argument is most at home at. I still say trying to claim being pro-gun to be universal rather than right-leaning is just spitefully trying to deny that they could have a point on any issue. |
| Topic | Left Leaning peeps, what is your most conservative view? |
| FortuneCookie 07/26/21 12:56:16 AM #156 | averagejoel posted... why on earth would you allow talking points to dictate which views are in line with an ideology when the actual ideology exists independently of that? Because when people say "conservative," the vast majority of them mean the political definition and not a literal definition. |
| Topic | What's the appeal of pitbulls over other dogs? |
| FortuneCookie 07/26/21 12:00:50 AM #10 | Pitbulls can be cute. I've seen a couple that were. |
| Topic | Native American or Indian |
| FortuneCookie 07/25/21 11:59:08 PM #9 | Calling them Indian is inaccurate. There's already an ethnic group which has that title. If you call them American Indian, it makes a distinction that they're not Indian-Indian. Of course, that might still be confusing if you call Americans of actual Indian descent Indian American. |
| Topic | Left Leaning peeps, what is your most conservative view? |
| FortuneCookie 07/25/21 11:54:16 PM #146 | averagejoel posted... those are also common among conservatives. but again, that does not make them conservative views I don't know how you would define a conservative view. If you're talking strictly according to rules of fiscal conservativism or being socially restrictive, then I suppose it wouldn't be. Personally, I would define a conservative view according to political talking points. The left is often quiet on the issue of gun ownership or vocally opposed to it. Being "pro gun" is solidly a conservative political view. |
| Topic | Nice they just added that body-swapping Vince Vaughn horror movie to HBO Max |
| FortuneCookie 07/25/21 11:34:35 PM #6 | I'll have to watch it sometime. HBO Max has uploaded a couple of films recently which appeal to kinks of mine. |
| Topic | Left Leaning peeps, what is your most conservative view? |
| FortuneCookie 07/25/21 11:33:08 PM #141 | averagejoel posted... it's a viewpoint that many conservatives have, but that doesn't make it a "conservative view" Of course. It's not a "conservative view" unless they're espousing hatred for minorities or the poor. |
| Topic | Left Leaning peeps, what is your most conservative view? |
| FortuneCookie 07/25/21 9:52:39 PM #132 | Being pro-gun is absolutely a conservative view. Anyone saying otherwise is stubbornly refusing to have any common ground with conservatives. |

| Topic | Why is "from my point of view the jedi are evil" a laughably bad line? |
| FortuneCookie 07/25/21 3:56:25 PM #15 | I'm sure it sounded better in George Lucas's head. I could see him imagining it as a deep political statement. |
| Topic | Did this cop plant drugs here. |
| FortuneCookie 07/25/21 3:50:43 PM #97 | https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/orfut9/what_actually_happened_public_freakout_by_the/ Unless they've expertly edited together another video using the same vehicle and an actor playing the driver, it looks like the original video was out of context. I've no doubt there are cops who plant evidence. This is going to make things worse. But any time a cop does wrong, there's someone there to try and let them off the hook anyway. There are still people who claim that George Floyd died of fentanyl when an officer sat on his neck for eight minutes. Anyway, if the cop is innocent, I'm glad he's not being framed. |
| Topic | Did this cop plant drugs here. |
| FortuneCookie 07/25/21 3:44:38 PM #80 | It looks like the video that was supposed to clear the cops is taken down. Is there an extended version of the original video which shows him taking the drugs off of the person in the car only to throw it back in? Or is that just what the cops are claiming in their defense? I want the truth: not bootlicking or blind hate. If there isn't evidence to the contrary, it looks like a plant. |

That said, I did find him disclaiming presence at the Jan. 6 insurrection (said it was a look-alike). So at least he's not getting rich off that. I didn't know he was allegedly there. lol I hope he wasn't. mustachedmystic posted... I don't pay too much attention to celebrities, but hasn't he done and said things over the years that could easily be construed as racist? I don't know about a history of racism, but he has been anti-LGBTQ. |

| Topic | DA won't charge cop who said 'you're about to die' before murdering man. |
| FortuneCookie 07/25/21 10:56:48 AM #32 | VanananaHeyHey posted... Uh, Chuck Norris isn't really inclined to be on the best side of race issues. It's odd because 1) Racism often comes up in Chuck Norris produced media. Walker: Texas Ranger had episodes dealing with discrimination against Black people and against Native Americans. The Hitman had a subplot involving him mentoring a Black youth who was a victim of bullying. Code of Silence is the single-most relevant film of his you'll find today. It's about a cop who shoots a Black youth and expects to walk because, like the mafia, the cops have their own code of silence. 2) Chuck was a victim of racism himself. The reason he learned martial arts is because he was bullied for having a White mother and Native American father. Then again maybe that's why he passes for White and goes by Chuck instead of Carlos. By paternal bloodlines, he should be regarded as Native American. |

| Topic | US fencer attending Olympics separate from rest of team due to sex assault case |
| FortuneCookie 07/25/21 12:29:34 AM #18 | It's insane that he's still allowed to compete. We don't need gold badly enough to allow rapists to compete. And, as others have stated, they'll strip him of any medals he wins anyway. |

| Topic | Would you consider Ghostbusters a sci-fi movie? |
| FortuneCookie 07/24/21 11:02:09 PM #6 | Once you include the supernatural, it becomes a fantasy story even if it has science fiction elements. This technically makes the Marvel universe fantasy. |
| Topic | Disney's Jungle Cruise weirdly is probably my most anticipated movie right now |
| FortuneCookie 07/24/21 11:00:43 PM #6 | At face value, I think it looks fun. Part of the enjoyment of Disney World though is that it's a mix of movie based rides and original properties. Having a commercial tie-in for every. last. ride. kinda cheapens the experience in my opinion. That said, I don't mind them redoing the Jungle Cruise ride to be less offensive. That Sam the Headhunter or whatever his name is seems like something out of the 1950s. |
| Topic | Anybody here remember renting VHS/DVD porn from video stores? I miss the 90s |

| Topic | How would you grade your knowledge of the Bible |
| FortuneCookie 07/24/21 9:15:19 PM #3 | It would've been better 20 years ago. There's much I remember, but also much I'd forgotten. There are plenty of things that never took root either. I've read the Bible twice now, in two different versions, and I doubt I will ever read it again. I'm still a Christian, but I don't go to church either. |
| Topic | Conservative children publisher Brave Books debuts with Elephants Are Not Birds |
| FortuneCookie 07/24/21 9:10:27 PM #72 | Remember conservative values like telling the truth, respecting your elders, going to church, respecting the troops, following the law, doing an honest day's work, not boasting of your own good deeds, and being accountable for your actions? I'm not saying that all of those work in practice, but they're all good ideas in theory and could make for good moral lessons. Why can't a self-professed conservative author of children's books teach on those? Why does it have to be passive-aggressive hatred of transsexuals and of people who want to escape from their designated social scripts? I almost have to admire this author's con game. They're telling conservative parents what they want to hear and are likely going to make bank from it. But I can't condone attempts to validate hatred or bigotry. |
| Topic | Conservative children publisher Brave Books debuts with Elephants Are Not Birds |
| FortuneCookie 07/24/21 8:58:22 PM #62 | Brave Books first offering is called Elephants are Not Birds, the story of an elephant named Kevin who likes to sing, and then is convinced by a vulture named Culture that he warbles so well, he must actually be a bird. Culture gives Kevin a pair of wings and a beak to wear, though his attempts to live life as a bird are less than successful in the ensuing pages. You Can't Do It: A Children's Book |

| Topic | Reading old Dilbert comics, there's a lot more incel/MRA crap than I remember |
| FortuneCookie 07/24/21 8:55:18 PM #13 | But the vending machine occupies a role which cannot feasibly go to a human being. It's a good precaution for hospitals and long term care facilities to have backup boxes of medication. It's not realistic to have a nurse whose job it is to stand around all day holding boxes of pills. |

| FortuneCookie 07/24/21 4:42:36 PM #10 | Ah, yes. The medical "vending machines" are costing people jobs. How dare patients have medications nearby? How exactly do medical boxes cost people jobs? Are they replacing the errant nurse who stands around all day holding medications? <_< |
