Hey guys do you remember the dreadful phrase of early 2019 that was so despicable that only alt-right and Nazis use to harass poor journalists and it will get you banned on Twitter if you ever use it (except for Jack Dorsey, he can)? I'm talking of course about the phrase "Learn to C*de". Well, the Democratic lead runner thought that he will bring the phrase to the right track again, which would be harassing those pesky coal miners: https://www.mining.com/joe-biden-tells-coal-miners-to-learn-to-code/ I'm seriously starting to worry first time in this election cycle that Donald Trump might not be reelected giving the Democrats winning message.

Wrong thread friend. This should go to TV. In other news. In an unprecedented (at least to my knowledge) move Universal Studios is sending and updated version of their latest movie release "Cats". So we are in an era of "patching" the movies... Hey Larry did you see the latest Avengers? No man, I will wait for at least two patches and I heard they are reshooting the ending.

Why do people insist people didn't said what they said? We are not goldfishes our memory last more than 5 second.

The Witcher netflix series is a little messy and some of the choices are rather questionable. As someone who read all the books I must say first and foremost I can imagine someone not familiar with the books might be heavily confused on the timeline of the story. Netflix series shows events that are decades apart basically back to back with no indication what happens when, short of a a line or a character that is younger/older which is easily spotted by someone familiar with the story but a new person would certainly miss. I understand that showrunners wanted to have Geral/Ciri/Yennefer in basically every episode, but it could be done so much better. On a technical note Witcher series adapts 5 (out of 7) stories from Last Wish book and 2 (out of 6) stories from Sword of Destiny. Characters and some events are taken from stories that are not adapted. Basically whole story involving Yennefer (basically everything involving Yennefer without Geralt ) and Nilfgaardians is made up by showrunners. Selection is decent, my only concern would be lack of the story "Shard of Ice" which would make sense between episode 5 and 6 as it covers the time when Geral and Yennefer lived together, and is btw the one Istredd is from. Without it it makes little sense there is even a relationship between the two. Adaptations of the stories are laughable and I think it shows. Just look at the prime example of the story where What was in the books a deeper story about human/elves conflict full of meaningful dialogs and a good dose of humor is cut into "in and out Rick and Morty 3 minutes adventure". No offence to Rick and Morty. The best aspect of Witcher stories are humor and dialogues and details that give the events meaning and proper context. And it's sadly mostly gone. I bet no one that did not read the book could figure out why as there is omission of a few very important facts. All in all I think it wasn't the best idea to cram both books in to a single season of only 8 episodes. Casting is in most cases all right. Cavill is really good, outshined only by Joey Batey playing Jaskier which I consider the best casting choice of the series. My only pet peeve with casting is that I was pretty sure after LoTR/Hobbit we finished with casting little people in the roles of Dwarves in fantasy movies. Or maybe if you do at least cast the guys that look the part? I will rate it 6/10 and hope season 2 will be more comprehensible when they will cover the novels instead of stories.

I would say it's a consequence of writing down targets's that you have little to none means of influencing.

Well. That just proves what a mistake it was to disband the Inqusition and other military orders of Christianity.

Watched Rise of Skywalker last night. It was ok, but nothing big. 40% of the movie is retconning the previous movie, 40% fanservice 5% meager attempts at humor which leaves 15% for the actual plot. So which such little time we have many things showed with broad strokes without details or explanation and with the exception of Rey and Kylo the rest of the cast are just inconsequential fluff characters.

Well there are many instances of democrats supporters attacking people for supporting Trump: http://docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU00/20190409/109266/HHRG-116-JU00-20190409-SD008.pdf https://www.attacksontrumpsupporters.com/ https://www.conservapedia.com/Left-wing_violence_in_the_Trump_era https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/trump-supporters-attacks-violence-hatred-media-bias/ There are not so many instances of people inciting violence in the name of Trump. And the few that occurred were made by lone deranged individuals. I would be equally worried in the case of Trum removal for antitrumpers to attack Trump supporters to "show them" they have "won". Disgusting behavior should be condemned. I hope you agree.

Impeachment of President Donald Trump might be the dumbest political move in quite some time. I only fear the repercussions when Democrats supporters will figure out that Trump is staying in office and still will be president after 2020 election. There might be some tragedies.

Finished the demo, it gives about 2 hours of gameplay. What I don't like is the change in atmosphere, everything is to shiny and colorful compared to the old Gothic. Approach to combat is interesting, but buggy in the demo. I think it's to much similar to the Witcher 3 to appease the hardcore fans.
-
This is excellent news. Is there any chance Trump can be named Emperor and rule for life? Would be fantastic.
-
Except no one actually does that. It's a fake news created by progressives. Because they cannot win in any argumentation even imaginary ones they go for smearing and hoaxes to show opposition in bad light.
-
Well it's nice Dems just cemented Trumps reelection.
-
Agree. Hillary and Obama should be trialed for the so called Steele dossier. Unfortunately the partisans in Congress are busy on trying to impeach President based on hearsays.

I think those are the best trailers for Witcher series yet.

Yeah, those pesky "African" children are starting again. Starting what exactly? Making the young "caviar leftists" complainers look dumb? P.S. Not every person with darker skin than you is from Africa, though. Just a useful tip I agree, Greta should stop. It's not funny when rich kids complain about hard life.

But what happened to the notion "if you don't pay enough to your workers you are making them into slaves?", huh? Guess that doesn't apply to "public slaves" apparently. And at which point it went for people to applaud politicians on the basis of decision they made for themselves instead of the people? If the guy would made the city better I wouldn't mind if he would give himself a 1000% raise, if he would turn the city to crap lowering the wage to zero wouldn't give him an ounce of credit in my book. Besides if any public servant can influence his own salary in any way it's not the best system I would say.

Is that about Bidens? Details are a little murky.
