So this judge seems like an a*****e, but at first I could see what he was talking about. His initial argument was just a technical issue with the rapists sentencing. His stance now seems like a personal one. I'm not sure what evidence this guy claims he would've seen that completely absolves the defendant.

Rogue One was ok and definitely the best Disney Star Wars but it gets overrated purely because of the Vader scene at the end.
Nah, the Vader scene is legit, but the whole third act is top tier. It gets so much praise cuz it's so different from everything else SW's. The mission is a success, but there is no happy ending. No ceremonies or big celebrations. Just sacrifice in the name of hope.

Edit: after looking at the article, it seems a little shady. It states that it counts shows ending/cancellations/limited series as part of their total outcome. Presenting the issue as one only affecting LGTBQ characters is a little dishonest.

Black Panther. I really dont see whats so mind-bogglingly amazing about it. I dont think its a bad movie, and maybe it was ruined for me because I wasnt able to see it until a week after release and all I saw was people going absolutely nuts over it, but I was so incredibly underwhelmed by it. I personally think its bottom tier MCU.
I wouldn't call it bottom tier, but it definitely is overhyped. I think much of it's fanfare comes from it's production and cultural presence as oppose to its final product. The other point I've seen from fans is that it's the best origin movie. Ironman aside, I do kind of agree with that point.

I'll go on record stating that 300 wasn't a very good movie either. 300 did have a way better story and setting. The best part of Rebel Moon was the big battle scene and it wasn't very good. 300 was basically that battle scene, but the whole movie. Rebel Moon was Dune meets Justice League.

That's actually a great point. As big as she's become, i cant think of a single new song of hers. The closest i get is "Shake it off". I'd say her legacy lies in her battle against the recording industry. She really set a new standard there and actually won.

I'd say she essentially is Madonna rather than Michael.

So it was two things. First the name "Uncle Ben." Even in the early 1900's black people weren't treated with the same respect as white people. Black men were only ever referred to by their first name or as "boy" "Uncle" or "old man." They were never addressed respectfully as "Mister" because they were seen as beneath white people and not deserving of that respect.

So the uncle in Uncle Ben's is a holdover from that time period. Even if that's not something everyone in the present day was aware of, it still had to go.

Then there's the picture itself. It's not that it's "minstrel-y" it's that he's wearing a suit with a bow tie. Similar to what black servants wore in the past. It perpetuated the image that black people were subservient. And at the time the picture was taken, a majority of black people were domestic servants.

So it's things that don't seem like a big deal if you don't know the history behind it, but I'm glad they changed it.
Thank you. I hate that people are more interested in scoring points than actually answering the question with relevant info.

That's another thing I was wondering. Are people claiming that all Hershey's chocolate products (Reese's, Kit Kats, etc.) taste like vomit, or just the plain milk chocolate bar?
I think people are just referring to the chocolate itself, not the products it's necessarily used in. For myself, I can't eat the pure chocolate stuff like Kisses or a Hersey Bar. I still get that very acid sour taste from things like Kit Kats and such, but it's to a much lesser extent as the chocolate is a much smaller percent of the bar.

It does have more butyric acid, but not an amount anyone is going to notice, unless they're specifically looking for it.

Isn't it weird that Hershey was selling chocolate for decades and no one ever noticed until they started making inroads to the European markets? People imported chocolate before that, people also traveled between Europe and America, and yet no one detected this apparently unmistakable vomit flavour... Until European confectioners started braying it from the mountaintops.
or it wasn't until global wealth became common enough to buy chocolate regularly, and the age of information started. These resulting in people being able compare, contrast, and most importantly discuss. Maybe instead of trying to cope, people recognize these arguments existed before their memory. We have people today who have never tried ramen, boba, sushi, or actual Chinese food despite their popularity and public awareness. I've never had Toblerone.

I've eaten Hersey's chocolate all my life, and honestly I've always hated their pure milk chocolate as it's always tasted sour to me. I'm not much for chocolate either way, but I massively prefer dark chocolate. I'm curious, is anyone's number 1 chocolate a Hersey's?
