Ah, I now see how it fake. Lol. I guess must have wanted it to be real since I like it better than the real on.

Why do the shots at 1:11 and 1:32 look they are literally just Katie Sackhoff's Starbuck straight out of Battlestar Galactica? That doesn't even look like Brie Larson to me.

The Netflix/Oscar's debacle all over again. Most of my favorite music is put out on independently owned labels that operate within scenes with limited marketing with a focus on adding to the scenes musical canon. It's the art of the medium put above all else. For the publishers to acknowledge these small scenes would be to discredit themselves as valid taste makers. Which is what they wish to be seen as, opposed to merely cold rote means of marketing and propagation of mediums. They fear when worthy art and artists don't need them, and other's fill their role for free. Instead of letting the work be free, they control how an IP is seen and consumed.

What lead to building nations was a different mentality then what exists to preserve a static notion of an already existing one. Today, building towards something better doesn't exactly sit under the notion of nationalism.

These are the things that keep me up at night.

I think playing someone else's character is a large reason why if felt off. That and it was a very contrived "slice of life" that we got to see. I thought it was rather unsatisfying and they couldn't really get Solo to match an appropriate emotional tone with what a real person might be going through. Instead of his character developer, he was already pre-born as Solo, who simply had to apply what he already had to a grander scheme.

The Weird, Random or Interesting Things That Fit Nowhere Else Thread
injurai replied to Blarghagh's topic in Way Off-Topic
I think a major problem with safe spaces is that adversarial nature many of them establish towards people that are defined by something they can't change. Private group meetings are fine, but if it's a public club then barring access to certain identities throws up some major warning signs. If its a space tailored for certain types of individuals that imposes certain criteria for behavior and topics. Then that is fine. Such as group meant for Somali Migrant Woman to help each other navigate their new home. What tends to not be great is when you have "public" (open invitation to the right sort of person) sessions which are just "decompression echo chambers" whose premise is based around establishing a narrative of one's grievances against an abstract group, where anyone of that abstract group is barred entry. Typically because what is being said not only lacks tact and candor, but is wrought with lies or failed distinctions which the participants don't want pointed out. You only have to look as far as Goldstein's incident to see what people intend to propagate when certain people are denied even ear shot of these sessions. Bwahahahaha, that was fast! Holy crap that's funny. Well... they successfully have advertised the intent of the group, and now they can point to this renamed group as the rally point for the old premise. -

Far-right extremism is bad and has no place in the modern world. Especially if it's of the ethno-nationalist bent. I can't help feel though this is a bit pearl clutchy in favor of the EU. Like it's over emphasizing the scarier showings from the Polish nationalism. It's not like the EU is without it's corruption and profiteering. Especially against some of the more "satellite" member nations. Just look at all that bad lending with Greece. Personally I want the EU to survive by if it's anything like America's globalist left, they have lost the ability to grapple with what is necessary to preserve the things they love so instead the let things decay so they can decry the mounting hordes on the right. It's simply bad neoliberalism trying to dupe their victims as some how lesser, which is why their hail mary is always feverish identity politics of the most obscure minority victims. Victims of many of the systems they themselves perpetuate. Which is payouts to the smallest minority groups possible are the cheapest gestures to imply progress is actually being made. I'm not surprised Poland and Britain sought some alternatives to their economic crises, and I'm not surprised a displeased people end up handing over the reigns to the only other loud faction in down. Which end up being the nationalists. Like is it really Poland's fault the EU is in crisis? Or is it the EU's fault that Poland is now in crisis. The more I read about how Europe in general uses migrant workers, the more I'm reminded of America's deficits. Except ours are offset more by the petroldollar and the EU is by creating bitch nations that they can whip as under the guise that these nations are "not nearly perfect enough" that are caught between being first and second world. EU's banks really really need to sort this out. Unfortunately they are sorely under-capitalized so the status quo is the way that they will play it safe, which means they are avoiding economic bubbles by risking social-crises bubbles instead. At any case, sort yourself out Poland and maybe take the reigns on some of the EU's benefits instead of just giving up on it all. Might just help the EU sort itself out too.

Never heard of Armstrong's law, is that some poor attempt to replace Godwin's Law with a different subject matter? Godwin's law at least is endlessly encountered across the web.

Reminds me of Deep Down, with some Dragon's Dogma and Dark Souls mixed in. Edit: Throw in some Monster Hunter too.

Maybe it's a honest trailer and the film is edited like that!

By posting in this thread I think it's implied to be silly/stupid humor, but I guess I should have admitted that I was up to posting silly stupid humor? To de-obtuse for you this "defense", I do humor you an explanation of the post, seeing as you managed to not grasp it regardless of how trite it may be. The dude commented on something that crossed by his feed, but you expect him to seek out other opportunities to make an endorsement. Why is this young twitter user being held to such high standards by you over a type of humor you seem to have no interest in? If to not imply your garner some _-ism, I do mean to imply your willfully crotchety. You ignore the meaning behind the words, and acting like he could have simply chosen to speak differently than how he speaks. How about you drop your forum role-play speak and you might just find you'd have the mental bandwidth available to understand someone else's way of saying something. Do elaborate on how this is only funny in the myopic sense of black humor. Humor me that.

It doesn't work if the person in question is not in someway vindicated with respect to their actions. The "360 no scope" is just a reference to call of duty to spice up the praise of the Seal. The important part lies in the killing of the terrorist. The Seal is vindicated over an action that could otherwise be reduced (as you're doing ad absurdum) to merely killing. The point is that this guy brought about a good from an ugly situation. It's supposed to gives him an authoritative voice on similar issues due to his experiences. Yeah, that could be the appeal to authority fallacy, but that doesn't mean people can't developed informed opinions from their experiences. He his using his perspective to acknowledge the importance, but more importantly the inherent goodness that underlies Kaepernick's actions. Further, "Kaep cool" is being used to say, "Kaepernick is alright." Which get's back the the whole focus on backing up his action as being a good act, as opposed to otherwise. The heart of this is vindicating that which is good. It's a good guy backing another good guy. I feel like you're just trying belittle and gripe something which was intentionally a cheeky endorsement of this Seal's comments.

The point was "takes a do-gooder to know a do-gooder" where Kaep is being acknowledged by someone who took out the highest profile terrorist of the modern era. The point wasn't derived from having aim.
