That you have incredibly bad taste.


Okay then explain why Gurren Lagann is better than a 6.5/10.

There was very little character development, the plot was pretty weak, and the battles were resolved without any real conflict. No one really put up a fight at any point.


I'm not going to get into an argument about your bad taste in anime on my lunch break at work, but are you serious, dude?

Did you not notice Simon's development from a weak willed child who depends entirely on Kamina to a capable leader and his own man?

Or Rossio developing into a man who would doubt and betray his allies and abandon most of humanity for a small chance to save any, before finally regaining his trust in Simon?

Did you not notice the battle against Thymilph that killed Kamina? Or the battle against Lordgenome that Simon barely scrapped by on? Or the battle against the Anti-Spirals that killed half of the pilots, including Kitan's sacrifice? The final battle that cost them Nia in exchange for freedom from the Anti-Spirals?

Just off the top of my head.

The far left can't help but cannabalize their own. They will always lose because they only were taught what to think. They can't think for themselves and nuance and critical thought are foreign concepts.


i wouldn't go that far. conservatives are allergic to nuance, context, and critical thinking.

the main reason "the left eats its own" is a thing is precisely because there are so many different groups in it that think differently and have different ideas about achieving goals. the right is far more monolithic, enforcing conformity and keeping in line. just because the left has a problem with purity police right now doesn't mean you can forget all the times the righties employed them.

who are you?


He isn't really wrong.

The political Right does tend to favor keeping things simple and maintaining conformity. Though that isn't always a bad thing. It's part of the conservative tendency to favor order over change.

Part of the reason we see so many instances of the Left "eating itself" is part of the nature of political progressivism. Because each generation is a little more progressive, they shift the overton window left little by little. Until positions that were considered progressive yesterday will be centrist today and conservative tomorrow. So to speak.

One of the organizers did an AMA on reddit earlier. I'm on mobile rn so I can't be fucked to try and browse reddit rn to find it. Apparently the article is fake news and the real reason it was cancelled was because the organizers were getting threats on social media koffing


Did this news article make up the quotations from the Women's March press release they have? If so, that would be pretty egregious.

Not to say that organizer is lying, but they might be playing damage control and "we were threatened online" is an old tune.

Person clearly has mental illness.

Also the person could clearly just look up gamestop's corporate number on their cell phone.


Sure. But he doesn't want to just look up the number, he wants to humiliate the clerk for insulting him.

Asking an employee for a corporate number is a part of any customer service job. Providing that number is what the employee is supposed to do, but he refuses to stop misgendering her and wasn't even making a motion for that number.


Yes he was. The video ends shortly after the clerks says he's getting the number for the customer, but the customer storms out first threatening to tell the whole LGBT community.

And he switched back to "ma'am" again. You're being disingenuous if you're trying to frame it as a clerk refusing to use preferred pronouns. He is clearly trying to, but having trouble with when the 6'+ masculine looking individual is yelling at him.

You are entirely full of shit here.

I'm not alleging anything, it's right there in the video. Everytime she's telling and screaming at him to stop its preceded by him referring to her as a male.


Then you need to watch the video more closely without the crazy bias goggles on, because you're seeing things that aren't there, dude.

More specifically, you're saying the employee is refusing to use the preferred pronoun, when they clearly are trying to, but stumbling over it.

Probably because as others have said, when you're looking at a masculine looking person yelling at your in a masculine sounding voice, you aren't naturally going to use feminine pronouns. Especially when he probably hasn't even had to interact with a transperson before, let alone one acting like a lunatic.

Weird hill to die on? Repeatedly misgendered? All the video caught was him saying a gender neutral "you guys" and then apologizing for it. Unless I missed something.


According to the person at hand it was the fifth time it happened, and you can hear him address her as sir at least twice before finally saying maam.


even if this is true and it was intentional (clearly wasnt) the customer response was insane and that person should be charged and banned from the property


I already said kicking over the display and threat of physical violence wasnt called for.

However I can see how frustration mounted if he repeatedly did that even after being told otherwise


uhhh no. publically freaking out because someone doesnt say something you want them to just isnt acceptable. if you believe it is a malicious act just call the company and report it, dont act like an unhinged lunatic

She tried to and he still wouldn't stop.


Around the 30 second mark, the clerk switches to "ma'am". He didn't refuse to stop saying "sir".

More specifically, the study abstract suggests men and women both grown on women who display their sexual availability, but they do so for different motives and women punish them more harshly.

Doesn't say what the motives are. I'd assume women don't like them because they shake up the sexual marketplace too much as competition for men's attention.

My favorite part in the movie is when Gandalf leaves the shire and goes to Minis Tirith to study the possibility of it being the one ring. Then he rides back to the shire in what looks like maybe a couple weeks/months had passed, but in the book its been 17 years. I think it would be hilarious if in the movie it just faded to black and said 17 years later. The average audience would be like this Wizard was off reading books for almost 2 decades!!

I Know they show a lot of dust around the envelope but still


You know, I kind of think it sounds better for it to have been a matter of months, maybe a year. Instead of 17 years.
