I used to use MoviePass like a year ago and really liked it.

They kept fucking around and changing the way it worked, though, and now it's this amalgamation with all kinds of specific rules, and certain showtimes aren't acceptable, and certain movies are blacked out, and it's like, you know what? Fuck it.

Either give me unlimited movies for $10 or fuck off. That's the service I bought in, that's what I want. There are no conditions that will win me back as a consumer.

I'm doing my local movie theater's "Movie Pass esque" deal thing now and while it's marginally more expensive, it's exponentially less frustrating.

When enough people want to spend a collective $12,000 to purchase a product that isn't in clear violation of the law and a company refuses to provide that product, there's an issue at hand.

I don't really care for Sargon's content but the idea that he's being removed from Patreon is troubling, and he doesn't deserve to have that happen.

If we want to live in a world where moral outrage and the whims of advertisers dictate what can and can't be expressed, I'm curious to know what people would think of a world where being, say, openly trans was an issue advertisers shied away from and would get you de-platformed?

Is that still just "a-okay, business as usual, go make your own platform?"

I want to go out on a limb and say I think the people who don't want to classify Smash as a fighting game are the same kind of people who probably only hang out with other hardcore gamers and don't attend a lot of casual social events.

Most non-gamers aren't gonna see Smash and go oh wow, they have Star Fox? And look at all the versions of Pit we get. That's some real Sakurai bias.

They're gonna get about 20 seconds into your explanation of the controls and zone out because they don't care about what direction you have to push to activate your down special.
They just want to grab another beer and play Mario Party.

Imagine getting a group of casual friends together and saying "Hey we're gonna play a party game," and they expect something like Mario Party or Jackbox but you pull out Smash Bros.
People don't just pick up Smash in the way they do MP or JB. It's got a learning curve and a skilled player will always outpace someone who's never played it. Mario Party is designed so that even if it's your first time, you can potentially win.

Now imagine telling a group of casual friends you're gonna play a fighting game and you pull out Smash Bros. They get exactly what they expected.

But he knew what he was doing years ago, with dated technology. Time may have moved passed him, and the changing game development landscape may just be beyond his grasp, which you can see as each new Bethesda title feels increasingly last-gen.

Or maybe he's financially or contractually obligated to just push out shit, and he's lost his drive in the process?

Whatever it is, he's certainly not doing what he used to.

It's definitely a slow burn, but I think that was necessary for the character development.

Way too many films in the genre don't allow you to appreciate or get to know characters before shit starts going down and while the "slasher" genre has an audience, characters as accessories has expanded into the wider paranormal spoops medium and I think that's much to its detriment (see: shit tier movies like Insidious).

Personally I think if Hereditary was shorter or they took some of the development out, it wouldn't sit nearly as well with me, especially if I wasn't able to grow to appreciate each member of the family.

I understand I agree with the slow burn -
But this really didnt do it well.

Agree to disagree, but there ain't nothing wrong with that.
I'm glad more people are watching it in general - seemed like the movie went really under the radar and was out of theatres well before its time

As for who is orchestrating it, that's a good question. I'm afraid I don't have an answer. Soros? The DNC? A rogue Antifa agent who just thought he might be helping the party? I feel like the third answer can largely be crossed off now that Sayoc is in custody. He's laughably "alt-right," and his van looks almost comically put together, but assuming it was some kind of false flag, he'd have to have been paid off.
I think anything is possible, but I'm looking at the most likely reasonings.

So, what you're saying is all of this is some plot to make Trump look bad before the elections?

I don't like to really speak in absolutes because anything is possible.
I think it's entirely possible there is no false flag, but I also think it's very likely and I want to explore that possibility based on my own assessments of a situation.

I think Democrats have been on a campaign for the past few months to smear the Republican administration in any way possible, which isn't new.
Republicans did the same when Obama was in office.

But starting with Kavanaugh and continuing through the migrant caravan and mail schemes, it all seems very strangely orchestrated.

Is it just a super busy month? Maybe. But it also happens to be right in the lead up to mid terms. Correlation does not equal causation, but our country is no stranger to espionage.

In the '60s the government crafted a plot to bomb an American city and pin blame on the Cubans. It was never actualized, but in a world where our government will consider the idea of going as far as killing American citizens to sell an ideal, I'm also willing to believe plots many steps down from that are possible.

The pipe bombs were incapable of exploding

From what I heard, they called the bombs "dangerous". In fact, the bomb that was found in my area (The Bay Area) was labeled "explosive". So what are you talking about?

BTW, who is orchestrating this "false flag", and do you think that the shootings are also?

Any bomb found, capable or not of exploding, will likely be considered dangerous until a thorough investigation takes place.

By shooting, are you referring to the Synagogue Shootings? If so, I don't think they're a false flag at all. I think it's a terrible tragedy.

The key difference between the Synagogue Shootings and the MAGAbomber event is that people died. 11 people were killed who wanted nothing more than to go to Temple. Do we take the idea at face value that the shooter was just some angry lunatic who hated Jews? I don't know. Is there more to the story? We'll see, but he still has 11 bodies to his name. No matter what, this falls into a very different class than the MAGAbomber.

And for the record, had any of those bombs exploded, I'd also be looking at that event very differently. But when your tactic appears on its head strictly to instill fear, a lot of new factors come into play.

PLEASE EXPLAIN!!! I would love to hear this!!!!

At the risk of taking a moderation, it's my opinion that the maga bomber is a false flag operation.

The bombs did not nor could they detonate, no targets were ever placed in danger, and the victims, as it were, were for the most part actors who are not currently involved in running for office but heavy in the public eye.

Considering the timing it seems strange.

As a resident of Florida and someone who grew up there, I vehemently support stand your ground laws.

It's hard to talk about on GameFAQs because I've been modded multiple times for discussing open carry and my intentions toward people who might invade my space physically, but I used to be a lot softer on physical altercation and appropriate punishment.

Back in February I was walking at night and was mugged by two men who beat me in the face with a handgun. I had to have half of my face reconstructed and it really messed my life up for a minute, all over a minuscule amount of money that for all they knew I may not even have in my pockets.
And maybe for people who haven't experienced real violence they don't get it, they look at fights like they see in movies or something, but even something that seems minor can be entirely life altering and ruin someone forever.

I wouldn't go out at night in most areas of town anymore without a concealed weapon, and I'll much sooner draw with the intent of firing than allow someone to get into my personal space. It's that reasoning that I understand why Trayvon Martin was shot and why Zimmerman was acquitted. I genuinely feel, and it may be an unpopular opinion, that he didn't have a choice in the situation, regardless of the fact that I feel he escalated the situation unnecessarily. If he didn't escalate it into violence, then I feel he was in the right.

Y'all might grill me for that, but come back after you've been beaten half to death with a weapon and tell me you're willing to take a chance on levels of escalation in violence. There's a surefire way to never have me draw on you, and that's to never put your hands on me. I'm a rational human being, and I would never put my hands on someone even if I vehemently disagreed with them. That's just common decency.

What's the problemo? It's video evidence that Antifa started the brawl. I know all the left-wingers were pretty adamant that the Proud Boys started the brawl but now's the time to face facts, accept you were wrong, and move on.

When the crips use savagery to fend off an attack from the bloods we don't pat them on the back for their efforts either. Don't know why you're sitting here and picking sides in what's essentially a street brawl between two different gangs.

Because in America the side who started the violence is in the wrong, and the defending party is doing just that.

From Wikipedia:

Proud Boys is a far-right organization that admits only men as members and promotes political violence

Gee, sure sounds like a terrorist group to me

You should know better than to use Wikipedia as a source.
Didn't you go to school?

"waaah don't use sources that refute me"

Wikipedia isn't a source. It's a site that literally anyone can edit.
If 5 minutes from now I go in and change the Proud Boys page to say "The Proud Boys are a group of ice cream salesmen from Montana," and that's reflected on the site, are you going to use that as evidence?

I just tried to do this. It wouldn't let me. It says "this page is currently semi-protected so that only established registered users can edit it." Doesn't look like it would be that difficult to reach that status, but still, what you posted is not 100% factual, as the page is not set to anyone can edit status.

That just makes Wikipedia even less credible.
It's an opinion based blog that only chosen members can edit?

So... anyone can edit = no credibility. Some can edit = less credibility than that. What does a source have to do to have credibility to you? Any news outlet on either side will also have only select people who can write and edit articles. Machete Awesome News Service must be the most credible source because literally no one can edit it, not even me... because it doesn't exist.

That's a difficult question to answer without really digging down , and even agencies like CNN have plenty of terrible writers and editors.
We'd have to really get into the weeds to discuss that one, but as most hot button political topics on Wikipedia are moderated by laymen with a biased motive, that destroys a level of credibility. Just look at all the false information posted in this topic alone.

Of fucking course you wouldn't in an academic setting. Here it's informal so it's ok, but if you're being this petty about it, there was a source from a news site which stated the same thing that Wikipedia said.

Why not use that news site then?

It's pretty tough to parse through fake news in hot button political issues. A lot of organizations still cite the southern poverty law center even though they've been outed as an extremist group pushing a false narrative

Homophobic slurs don't mean anti-gay anymore. The F slur just refers to people who ride loud motorcycles. South Park continues to be years ahead of its time.

Gavin McInnes has a podcast about the use of the other F word and how he considers it different from being homophobic, where he cites Louis CK's stand up as a reference.

For the record, I disagree with both him and Louis CK. I don't think it's acceptable to use the other F word, generally.
