Don't really need it. Easy to find whatever I need in terms of old movies when there's a specific hankering, and I'm waiting to hear further feedback on Mandalorian before I consider that must-watch.

Too scared to be atheist...

Kinda.

Agnostic isnt even really a thing, in the sense people use it at least. Gnosticism deals with knowledge, theism deals with belief.

Agnostics dont know if there is a god. Atheists dont believe there is a god (and its worth noting thats not the same thing as believing there is no god, its just not believing in a god). So, given no one can KNOW, we technically are all agnostic (though some would surely declare god as a fact).

Asking the question do you believe in a god should be a yes or no question, because answering no doesnt mean youre positive there isnt a god. You either believe in a specific god or you dont. The misconception is that people think being atheist means you have absolutely ruled out with 100% certainty no god exists, which is just not the case.

If you dont specifically believe in a specific higher power, youre an atheist. People have conflated that word with being more hardline than it is.

Both are super anti establishment and want money out of politics entirely. Campaign finance reform. Forgive student loans, break up the big pharma companies, etc

I have to assume you're trolling. Pete is probably the most establishment candidate in the race after Biden, he has the second most billionaire donors, and has repeatedly described Bernie's plans for student loans and pharma as unrealistic.

It took Hamill a few years to discover that his true calling was voice acting.

This. Hamill is not a great actor, though he was far better in TLJ than he was at any point in the OT. He is a marvelous voice actor.

Run a diagnostic on your RAM. My one computer had random crashes because the RAM was bad.

Will do, thanks. Ill check out anything.

If it turns out my processor is borked then so be it, but RAM would be easier.

My PC has been acting increasingly unreliable lately. Sometimes when I boot it up, itll get to where I choose which partition to boot from but never go to my login screen. Sometimes games will crash. Sometimes the monitors go out when I unplug something from the USBs. Sometimes Ill get an all-out crash (Clock Watchdog Timeout). Ive got no idea whats going on.

I did a Windows restart this morning just in case. Nothing changed. The clock watchdog timeout error at least appears processor related, but with the increasing number of weird happenings, it kinda feels like the whole things falling apart... its not THAT old, four years maybe.

Processor? Bios? Hard drive? Any thoughts, techies?

Not looking for endgame or PvP, just playing through the story since I never ended up doing the DLC.

Well I just finished watching Attack of the Clones and it was great.

yikes

Attack of the Clones was the first movie I ever saw where, in theaters, I thought "wow, this is... really bad." I was a very excited 11 year old and was able to conceive how badly written it was.

He's honestly just such an incredibly bad person.

It gives me legit existential dread that so many people hail him as their icon, their hero, the best thing to happen to American in decades, etc.

I absolutely adore it. Favorite console I've had in a decade. The utility of it is just so, so clutch for me and it runs great. Love how swapping games or booting up where you left off from takes no time at all.

is a clear-as-day indicator of their flirty dynamic, even if you insist that for some reason the rest of the song sounds like its about rape for some reason. That one line is enough to clear that up for you.

Chains and whips excite me - Rihanna, 2010

Rihanna may clearly be talking about BDSM, but in modern times she should know talking about chains and whips calls up images of slavery! It used to be okay to use this imagery, but no longer. Society has evolved, people!

There are many common sayings that shouldn't be used today because they have a negative context
For instance, I'm not calling for people to get fired for saying they're having a pow-wow, but it's not something people should use for a quick business meeting

1) ...why? When did the melting pot become never ingratiate cultures or terms EVER!
2) Kind of a non-sequitur anyway when youre talking about cultural appropriation as opposed to just not knowing what a phrase means

Saying Baby Its Cold Outside sounds like its about date rape is a meme and has about as much legitimacy as insisting

Hell say are you married? Well say no man, but you can do the job when youre in town

must be indicating the couple is asking the snowman for a threesome because you dont know who Parson Brown is

yes Ive seen this claim

I love how it's always the same argument of how it's not about daterape

Like no shit, we're talking about how it sounds today

No, the argument is that not only is it not about date rape, but that it only sounds like its about date rape if youre profoundly ignorant of common sayings and typical human interactions, and/or want it to sound like its about date rape

ultimate reaver posted...

The line about the drink doesnt mean shes being date raped, its just a joke about date rape. shes coming up with excuses for herself and one of them is jokingly saying "did you spike my drink?"

so its kind of shitty regardless of how you look at it

No, shes asking what kind of alcohol it is/how strong it is. Again, spiking drinks/roofies did not even exist yet.

Correct, instead it's "It used to be acceptable to be misogynist." It no longer is.

Are you trolling

It's problematic because of a couple different reasons.
1. When someone says "what's in this drink?" nowadays it is accepted to be alcohol or drug related, leading to date rape.
2. Women in our society are conditioned against saying no. Having a woman in a song say 'No' several times while the man is pushing is setting up people who are listening for failure. Men are shown in media that persistence will let you "win" the girl. This is problematic regardless of gender.
3. Society marches on. Men and women can have casual sex and no one cares what "the neighbors" are thinking. Shaming people for sex is a problem too.

Things that were acceptable 50+ years ago are not done today because we know better. Like I said, I'm not calling for it to be banned. But to ignore the many problems the song has because "B-b-b-but it's a product of its time" is just willfully ignoring reality out of some sense of misguided "but the SJWs" and "muh censorship"

The fact is, context changes. Why does Zikten keep on getting modded for posting mandelas? Because of Nazis ruining it for everyone.
It happens all the time, something gets ruined by something else in the future. This song is no different.

Take the L. This isnt a matter of it used to be acceptable to be racist!, its projecting a meaning onto the song that does not exist. There is nothing from society to march on from in the song except perhaps her concern that her nosy aunt will be judgy.

Im a bleeding heart liberal. Dont feed me the MUH SJWs crap. It is a flirty love song that is no more offensive than any song in which a girl flirtily plays hard to get, of which there are hundreds.

---

-Shred

Zikten is 100% correct and anyone who finds anything vaguely problematic in Baby Its Cold Outside is displaying ignorance.

It is, if anything, a song about a woman in a time where she wouldve been shunned by society for spending the night coming up with a good excuse to do what she wants.
