Why are they "intentionally" "self-selecting" so that the racist/fascist/GamerGate/Trump share of whites increases?

And what's their time frame here on whites dying out exactly? They're ~80% of the population.

A report by the U.S. Census Bureau projects a decrease in the ratio of Whites between 2010 and 2050, from 79.5% to 74.0%

Luke's action at the end of TLJ has the most galaxy altering impact of any action of his entire life we have seen on screen. He saved the galaxy. In the biblical sense Luke essentially became Jesus in that moment. He truly became a legend and inspired a galaxy of followers from that action.

compare the weight of the moves, the impact they have. How the choreography works because they trained for months. The New Trilogy is shit in that regard.

Special attention to the combat narrative on 0:42, you get the feeling of the rage on Obiwan from just the aggressive style he's using, and how he attacks relentlessly.

What's the big twist of 9 then?
I've been teasing the reveal for too long and for that I apologize. It all started when I saw the film a second time and noticed something that seemed really familiar. I googled a bit and it seemed no one else noticed this thing. Some months passed and it appears to have still gone unnoticed. I have scanned through the director's commentary and Rian Johnson says a couple of interesting things at this point in the film. I've run my observation by a few trusted pals, asking them to poke holes in it. None have been able to. A couple think I have spoiled the film for them. I don't really keep up with the EU all that much, but nothing I have found contradicts my observation.

I will rewatch 7 and 8 this week and finally shit or get off the pot. It's not that much work, but I just need to be sure I haven't missed something that clearly negates it all. I'll say this though, it is a shame Carrie Fisher died as it won't have quite the same impact as it could have.

The fact that you saw them when you were young still affect your judgement on it. Most of New Trilogy haters are Prequel Trilogy fans that grow with that version of Star Wars. You're just old  :ufup

It seems a lot of people in this thread agree with the principle of denying service. In fact a number of them, including the OP would like to see it happen more and more. That's interesting.

Not quite. I just genuinely enjoyed the choreography, just like I enjoyed Ep6 chroeography. The new ones, you can clearly tell that they didn't bother training them properly. Ep7 duel (Rey-Kylo) was a new shot every 0.5 to 1 second. They were trying to mask the lack of dynamic fighting with quick camera cuts. It's really nothing alike mate.

I'll always say that Star Wars movies are like half-finished canvases. The amount of unexplained detail makes for great spinoff content. Felucia, a planet that appeared for just a few seconds in Ep3 has been expanded through third party works. This is what I love about Star Wars. You don't need to explicitly explain everything that appears. An "extra" of Episode 1 became an undercover jedi named Quinlan Vos. This is why I always thought Star Wars was great, because of everything it can offer beyond the movies.

...Now we have Captain Garbage Compactor Firepit Collapsing Phasma, who did nothing meaningful in two movies. And it could be argued she was the secondary villain. At least Episode 8 tried to do a bigger scope of the universe, but 7 was a joke in that regard.


I did like the scene that you posted, I just wish they'd train more for them, so it didn't look iffy even in the cut they thought was production-ready.

My issue has nothing to do with whether Sarah is a piece of shit or not, it is how inconsistent these people are on these issues. If it was a Christian baker refusing to make a gay wedding cake, they would respond to it differently. If that is the case, then surely they should object to this on principle?

Sarah Sanders seems to genuinely enjoy her job. A job she wouldn't have gotten in any other administration.
These are usually posts that go to people that are either close to the candidate or have the credentials and/or looks.
Sarah is not someone anyone would put in front of a camera. Well, anyone but Trump.

Imagine being fat, dim and unattractive and having Mike Huckabee as your dad for your whole life.
Then by sheer coincidence you get one of the most public and visible jobs in the world. You get to be the face and main liaison to the public and press of a US government.

I really can't fault her for taking this chance.

You're conflating a sexual orientation with someone being a racist's voluntary functionary. The principle isn't "companies should be able to serve who they want", it's "people who didn't do anything wrong shouldn't be punished, people who have done something wrong should".

Yeah. I notice a lot of them can't even grasp this point. It's like a free speech advocate defending the speech of ass holes. They don't do it because they agree with what they say, they do it simply to defend the principle. Of course in terms of denying service the issues are complex, but if it is a denial of service they disagree with, they don't give a shit about the complexity of the matter, it is straightforward to them.

So transphobia and racism gets you a one week ban (or three days or five days) usually. But...
User Banned (two weeks): History of bad faith arguments, moving goalposts, to defend a company.

That what I said... Epic choose the easy way to code just an account block instead to handle it in a proper way.

Said that the biggest issue with Crossplay for platform holders is the share of the revenue from purchase... that is thing that the developers/publishers will have to find a solution in the middle way where all platform holders get a share to make them accept Crossplay.

While they didn’t reach a consensus for all parts Crossplay won’t work in a business sense.

But that is another talk not related to the account block... that is on Epic side to fix the things.

Her job is to be a mouthpiece for a piece of shit

My issue has nothing to do with whether Sarah is a piece of shit or not, it is how inconsistent these people are on these issues. If it was a Christian baker refusing to make a gay wedding cake, they would respond to it differently. If that is the case, then surely they should object to this on principle?

You're conflating a sexual orientation with someone being a racist's voluntary functionary. The principle isn't "companies should be able to serve who they want", it's "people who didn't do anything wrong shouldn't be punished, people who have done something wrong should".

Private companies probably shouldn't be mandated to "punish people who do wrong".

Especially when 'done wrong' means being the press secretary to an unpopular president, and nothing more.

Her job - which is voluntary - is to lie and spin PR for a monstrous idiot. She's not doing some noble work, trying to keep a department from imploding under his misrule. Toss her to the wolves - she has nobody to blame but herself.

compare the weight of the moves, the impact they have. How the choreography works because they trained for months. The New Trilogy is shit in that regard.
The fact that you saw them when you were young still affect your judgement on it. Most of New Trilogy haters are Prequel Trilogy fans that grow with that version of Star Wars. You're just old  :ufup

MF.

It's even more true for Star Wars though. The people bitching about how the prequels are bad are 100% nostalgia biased. The reality is none of the Star Wars movies are good. They have their moments from time to time, but that's it.

I've watched the OG trilogy recently and it was embarassing. I'll never forget this scene :



The action, the acting, the writing, the dialogue, the cheeziness... It's worse than bad.

The whole Star Wars franchise can't hold a single candle to the true GOAT : the OG LOTR trilogy.  :trumps

ben carson already denied service to having self respect.

The travesty that is happening in HUD is just as bad at the HHS things, and everything happening at the EPA, and every fucking thing.
I wonder how Rick Perry and the nukes are doing.  :marimo

I think he's distinguished mentally-challenged enough to

omg rick perry is head of the Department of Energy

Tbf RotJ has no redeeming qualities. ESB is at least a decent flick and has the fewest changes over time of the three. There are far more rewarding films to watch but same could be said of most films.

I am reminded of a case in Ireland where a baker refused to make a gay wedding cake. They didn't refuse to actually bake them a wedding cake, they refused to make a specifically gay wedding cake. It was the messaging of the cake they took issue with. They apologised and gave them the number of another cake shop that would do what they wanted.

I remember Patrick Stewart weighing in on this. He said something interesting which I agree with.


Now do you think any of these people on RE would be this nuanced on cases like this? And that's the thing, the issue is complex, and you have to think about it carefully and seriously.

The way I see it, if you think it is fine to refuse Sarah Sanders on some kind of moral grounds, then you have to carefully consider the point of view of others who you may disagree with. Otherwise it becomes merely arbitrary and without any real principle to it.

REE users still stealing content to syphon advertising money away from people who actually, you know, work, and into the pockets of anonymous forum owners.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/game-of-thrones-kit-harington-and-rose-leslie-marry-in-scotland.51041/

Funny, they copied and pasted the entire article, but skipped this part:

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading the Guardian than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. The Guardian’s independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

So now it's okay not to take a black woman's word on how that content is viewed as problematic?  :lol

On a somewhat related note, do these dumbasses understand what type of shitstorm it would cause in Finland if a government financed media outlet would go against this woman in the current political climate? The only result is that it would seem racist.

It's not complex. SHS is being judged based on her actions. That's it, the end. There's no sticky question about religious freedoms or whatever. If you must boil it down to some neutral principle, the equivalent would be a restaurant refusing to serve Obama because he pushed for the ACA or whatever.

Sohagum, do you think it is a good practice for forum mods to ban members for things they've done outside of the forum?

Depends on what they did.
