  1. Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them

     

    Extremely schizophrenic. There's a good lighthearted adventure romp about a muggle being dragged along with a wizard to save some animals buried under a dark story about abused children and twenty tons of setting up an arc for further movies. The lighthearted adventure romp is great, the rest of it not so much.

     

    The abused kids part did introduce some good ideas though- sorta like Star Wars, in as what can happen to Wizards if they let their emotions and power take control.. 

    But otherwise I agree and the whole -everything is back to the way it was and no one noticed the difference- in the end was a little too 90s sitcom and, well stupid.

  2. I dont' think I've ever seen one with free tracking though.

     

    Really? I guess Denmark may be the odd one out then. I just assumed it was free since no matter where I ship from I get tracking through our postal service.

  3.  

    Billy's narrative was set around 30 years in the past - hints were that all robots wrre mechanical instead of flesh - that their hostess was repurposed and Ed Harris recognized her saying "I thought they retired you". She was the one trying to hang him.

     

     

    What a show, that final twist caught me by surprise :)

     

    Also I got a little annoyed with myself for never seeing the Adam and Eve in Paradise metaphor.

  4. Not really most were unemployed and/or on the path of becoming criminal.. Worked in a correctional halfway home for a while here in Copenhagen

    And that filled you with confidence that they are going to be decent neighbors? :)

     

    See, already spinning it to fit your narrative. ;)

     

    But decent neighbors? In time yeah, but as I said should they ever decide that I don't have a right to think what I think - then we're not gonna be on friendly terms anymore.

     

    But so far the only people who seem to have a vested interest in controlling what I think, are people who call themselves nationalists.

  5. In this case we agree then - most liberals, radicals, socialists and conservatives here (and in most of central Europe) has never really dared to question that assumption - that the problem with their approach was that they were preaching openess and cooperation, but implicitly felt that anyone who didn't 'want to conform' was a problem.

     

    I very much ascribe to a live and let live approach and have absolutely no problem living beside any religion, be they Abrahamic or of the more eastern variety - as long as they too accept my choices. If they don't however, then they aren't welcome.. and luckily, most muslims and religious people I've met/or know, were/are  cool with letting me living however I want. Even if they disagree with it.

  6. By the way, some people on this forum were very dedicated to proving me wrong on the issue of Islam and immigration. Now that its successfully tanked half of your governments, what have you to say now?

     

    That any convinient lie becomes a truth if enough people are willing to believe it.

     

    Of course that said, the problem has always been that we never had a real and constructive talk on how to approach any religious and cultural difference that clashes with established values, opting to either bury our heads in the sand or believe whatever lie we we're told, as long as it targeted those we didn't like.

     

    There are huge problems with many religious paradigmes in the modern era, especially for Islam - but to single them out only proves that your are blind to your own.

  7. Random historical fact..

     

    On the 23rd of January 1795, a very rare event took place at the Battle of Texel

    It was the first (and so far only) recorded occurance of a cavalry charge on a naval position. As a particularly cold winter had frozen the Dutch ships and allowed the cavalry to reach them. The Dutch ships surrended quickly.

    "This is why the Federation is the only organisation to ever stand a chance against the Borg

     

    The Borg can adapt to the brilliant millitary strategies of the Romulan Star Empire, the Klingons and even the cold logical intellectual prowess of the vulcans

     

    The Borg weren’t prepared for a starship captain to lure them into his 50′s noir detective holo-novel and then machine gun them to death with a weapon made out of hard light"

    Gotta admit - that's hilariously spot on hah

  9. It could've used better exposition sure, but they tried to make it clear that Arnold offed himself at least 30 years prior to the current time and that only a handful of engineers ever really got to know him.

     

     

    Bernard was brought online no eariler than 10-15 years ago, when all of the people who knew how Arnold had looked like had moved on

     

    Which also means that some of the conversations Dolores had with, what we assumed was Bernard, may have been either Arnold or her memory of Arnold..

     

     

    AND seems like the 2 timelines got a lot more credible - as all the Hosts William slaughtered were clearly mechnical and not flesh

    Plus the picture of Williams fiancee was the one Dolores' dad found, now withered..

  10. The problem is not that developers want to curtail pirates, that's resonable - the problem is when pirates circumvent them easily and we customers get saddled with more and more bloatware on our games that can completly stop them from working.

     

    The idea of punishing those who are actually paying for your product seems - well idiotic to be honest.

     

     

    Steam or Netflix are good examples of a anti-pirate measures where they actually thought of offering a service to compensate for the DRM - what does Securom or Denovo add to the product except a potential problem for the paying consumer? 

    I can live with DRM just fine if it actually enhances my product.

  11. "Victim blaming" is soley used wrt rape? Kooky. Someone better update the wiki page asap! You may now carry on with the semantics pissing contest. :lol:

     

    'was an expression used' 

     

    Seems you missed an important word.. and the article also points out how it was most often used in regards to sexual assault. so...

     

    But off topic - and a fairly irrelevant subject at that - seeing as there are no victims here. Just a guy who didn't like his work place.
