Topic | It occurred to me this week that people might really just have different tastes |
Hinakuluiau 11/08/18 6:11:47 PM #9 | There's basically four different kinds of opinions 1. The kind you're talking about. You like red, I like blue, neither is objectively better so there's no point in arguing over it. 2. The kind where it's wrong. The world is demonstrably not flat. saying it's your opinion doesn't mean it's true. 3. The kind where there might be a right answer, but we haven't decided it yet. Much of politics is this since there has to be a "best" system, but we need to argue to find out which one is right. 4. The kind where something is objective and subjective at the same time. Much of art (music, books, games, movies, etc.) is like this. For instance, my painting of a sunflower is objectively worse than Van Gogh and you should be ridiculed if you defend such a statement, but you could subjectively prefer my painting. For instance, I think the Star Wars movies are pretty much crap with only one-and-a-half good ones in there, but I love it and think it's a great franchise. --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD |

There are democrats who support gun rights, republicans who are pro-choice, etc. People aren't just blind to issues and vote for a party unless they already largely agree with the party. There's this narrative that somehow we few are politically conscious while the majority of voters just do everything the party says.

Topic | The Simpsons is getting rid of Apu |
Hinakuluiau 10/27/18 8:53:21 PM #97 | Kondobolus thesis from the problem with Apu wasnt just that he was a stereotype, but that as the only Indian character and still so stereotypical. Homer is the stereotypical Murican, Burns is the greedy tycoon, Cletus is the redneck, Wiggins is the stupid cop, but these are ALL different aspects of WHITE dudes. You know that all white dudes arent greedy because theres dozens of other white dudes that are not greedy. You know that all white dudes are not dumb because there are dozens of white characters who are smart. But the one Indian guy is a Hindu guy with a thick accent who runs the mini mart, and thats the difference made by representation. It also does not help that he was the only one Indian character on (a white) American TV for decades. When your only representation on TV for your racial minority is a stereotype, its not the Simpsons is bad, Apu is offensive, therefore you are racist. Its more this dudes one of, if not the only depictions of an Indian on TV. As a kid everyone used this stereotype to talk smack or make off color jokes. The. Same. Damn. Joke.

Topic | Was Age of Ultron the last bad MCU movie? |
Hinakuluiau 10/27/18 6:17:59 PM #48 | The MCU didn't become consistently good until Phase 3. Phase 1: Iron Man is the only good movie in the lot. The rest are passable, even Iron Man 2 and The Hulk, but overall just whatever. Avengers hasn't really stood the test of time, despite being such an achievement it really ends up feeling like a made-for-TV-movie. Phase 2: Captain America Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy are both good movies. The rest of Phase 2, including Iron Man 3, Age of Ultron, and Thor 2 are all pretty meh. They succeed in being fun flicks to watch and they certainly add to the franchise, and none of them are outright offensive in quality, they're not really good. Phase 3: This is where it gets great. Civil War isn't a worthy sequel to Winter Soldier, but aside from that it's pretty good. Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and Black Panther are all better than Phase 1 and don't fail as origin stories despite being ~8 years after the franchise started and ~15 years after CBM's became huge. Thor Ragnarok was a solid followup to Thor 2 and introduced a more interesting list of characters -- the comedy was sometimes a bit much even for a Marvel movie but it was overall good. Admittedly though, Guardians 2 was pretty much a step down in every way from the first given how they flanderized half the cast, tried to manipulate us with a cheap death, a dumb villain (somehow even worse than the first), etc. and Ant-Man/Wasp was pretty whatever following Infinity War (which was awesome). I like them, but they have too many shared problems that consistently appear to be what the hardcore fans want them to be. --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD |

Topic | Will those against expanding transgender rights be on the wrong side of history? |
Hinakuluiau 10/22/18 9:15:50 PM #32 | __B0xxY2J0sHBK_ posted... Holy shit! Is that for real? That's all kinds of crazy. That's gotta be satire Kind of, but not really. It is important to note that this does not apply to most people, only certain relationships are covered by human rights legislation in Canada. They don't apply between people on the street, but rather to employment, housing, commercial transactions and education- all areas that have much higher levels of government regulation already. Further, C-16 only applied to federal jurisdiction, which is mostly banks, airports and fisheries. The most likely instance where pronoun use could even come up is employment- so let's take a hypothetical of an employer who hires a transgender employee. The boss referring to this employee with the wrong pronoun is not discrimination in itself, but if they continued to do so despite requests to use another, that could come to the realm of harassment or creating a hostile work environment, under which the employee could make a complaint to the human rights tribunal of their province. This would be like if the employee was black and the boss kept using racial slurs to refer to them- I think you can understand how that would be a problem.* *In this context it's a useful example regarding what sort of conduct is being targeted by this legislation. It's not simple misgendering, but a repeated, malicious pattern of conduct. It doesn't even have to apply to a transgendered person- imagine a straight, cisgendered woman who dressed in a very masculine, "butch" way. Should her boss be allowed to mock her, and refer to her with male pronouns despite her making it clear to him that it bothers her? Can you see how that would be demeaning and hostile in a way that would interfere with her ability to work there, much like someone who used racially demeaning language to a black employee? --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD |

Hinakuluiau 10/22/18 1:31:34 PM #8 | s0nicfan posted... In terms of intent, I was thinking less of something like a witcher and more something like an alchemy wizard. So instead of casting an illusion, I sling/fire/etc a potion with a hallucinatory effect into the area, or an explosive potion, or I set a trap with an armor corroding chemical outside of a door with hostiles inside. That sort of thing. Like I said above, you can do this if your DM is fine with you playing a Wizard who has potions instead of spells. It doesn't really change anything, just the way you narrate your actions as "I throw my potion of grease at the floor under the goblins" instead of "I cast grease by waving my wand at the floor under the goblins" Unless you want actual mechanical changes --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD |

Hinakuluiau 10/22/18 1:27:26 PM #6 | TES_Nut posted... Having a truly unique build is hard. 5e is very homogenized. I wouldn't quite say that. It's hard to have builds that don't play well within the rules, such as someone wanting a potion slinger in a game where you really have only weapons and spells to use. I don't think the rules even go in depth on how/when to make potions, leaving it up to DM fiat But on the positive side, you can very easily reflavor things if you want. There's nothing wrong with saying you have a wizard who instead of casting spells is actually drinking different potions, or a barbarian who takes a swig of a magic potion that enables rage, etc. The rules don't care how you make something appear so long as you don't actually change the mechanics So it's a weird spot but given D&D is more popular now than ever, they must be doing something right Darkman124 posted... are you thinking something comparable to the witcher?

Topic | So Guardians 3 is basically canceled. |
Hinakuluiau 10/19/18 1:02:17 AM #75 | Guardians 2 was awful. The writing was bad, the chemistry between the actors was not as good, baby Groot was something out of a 90s movie. I feel like they had a survey where people listed what they liked about the first movie and cranked it up to 11. The over usage of color, The jokes are too forced, and Bautista's character Drax laughing his ass off at stuff, etc. Yondu was a problem too. In the first movie Yondu is a remorseless villain who enslaved Quill. In the sequel he was retconned into a father figure. Felt a little forced, it kind of felt like one of those crummy fan theories about how the good guy/bad guy is actually the bad guy/good guy, and they give a paper thin "They're just PRETENDING" excuse to cover all the times the theory is blatantly contradicted. "I was just joking about eating ya." No you weren't, we can still watch the first, you're dead serious each time and make no attempt to clarify when Quill tells you off. It actually made me think that they didn't understand what worked so well about the first movie at all, which was how unexpected the chemistry was and how much it played against many superhero tropes to give us an antihero team of a-holes. The Soverign were ridiculous, and severely lacked any threatening presence and how the hell does the entire "TASERFACE" scene make it past the first draft of the script? I think a huge issue that goes beyond the movie though is Chris Pratt. I'm happy for him and is success, but he's lost a lot of that lovable underdog charm since landing so many big roles. Now he just seems like a discount version of an action star. --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD |

Hinakuluiau 10/17/18 4:38:20 PM #41 | Dyinglegacy posted... I guess I'm a moderate centrist. I lean left or right, depending on the issue. I don't feel an intense attachment to most of the political issues, tho. Some of the really conrtroversial issues, like gun control, I tend to go back and forth on. I don't really think that more gun laws will do anything, and that it would take an outright ban for change to happen. I don't think I would be cool with a straight up ban. What you're saying here isn't particularly different from views espoused elsewhere, though. Take your stance on gun control. You worked your way through how you feel and ended up being against gun control. Your stance on abortion is a relatively common one: pro-choice until the 3rd trimester.

Hinakuluiau 10/03/18 5:37:56 PM #36 | Obviously I would like there to be more than 4 boards, even getting some retro versions from past games like some people have said would be good. That being said though, I'm not sure if it'll impact my enjoyment of the game. Like, Mario Party is not going to be a game I sit there over and over again playing. It's gonna come out when I have friends over and we don't have anything specific to do. The chances of me having only 3 friends (or really 2 if you count my boyfriend) over and us playing 4 hour+ maps is a bit crazy. Chances are we're gonna play a couple and call it quits. And then a few days/weeks later, we'll slowly get around to playing the others. It could be a month before the same people play the same map, and even then we have different characters and games to mix it up in between (and of course co-op modes and such will mix it up further). So I get the outrage, but I don't think it'll effect my enjoyment of the game so I'm still getting it (plus Amazon texted me while at work that it had shipped). --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD |

Hinakuluiau 09/24/18 12:39:24 PM #18 | Megaman50100 posted... I know plenty of people like this, its basically how parties exist in the first place. No, parties exist because groups are stronger than individuals. If I am pro-2nd Amendment and don't have a strong opinion on abortion, and you are pro-life with no strong opinion on the 2nd Amendment, we can double our votes for the things we care about because we're willing to "trade" on the other stuff we don't care about Parties also exist for voters to immediately know a lot about a candidate. We can stereotype them based off of their party affiliation instead of having to research literally everything about them. I think the idea that we're special because we all have individual beliefs and don't go down the party line is basically "I'm 14 and this is deep" because a lot of people actually genuinely agree with a lot of what the party believes. It just reeks of people trying to feel superior "Oh I'm an individualist that doesn't get his entire belief set spoon fed to him. I'm basically a moderate liberal."
