I hate to say it, but I don't understand what the physical limitation is. Is it a lack of balance? Is there minute dexterity required which he can no longer perform?

As someone who has a terrible sense of balance and never got into skateboarding, I'm having trouble grasping the mechanics of his problem. It just looked like he was going too slow to me.

Also, lighten up people, I understand age, but I don't understand the abilities involved. Like, is it as physically dependent as dunking a basketball is?

What's the primary skill/ability required to perform an ollie 540º? Strength? Dexterity? Balance?

I understand you lose dexterity as you get older. Duh. And if it requires great strength/conditioning, that's easy to see why a 50 year-old can't do it. I have no clue as to how balance declines with age, but if it requires preternatural balance, then ok, I get it. But since I don't skateboard I don't know what skills he's using.

I took a sociology course years ago where the professor stated that interracial relationships between black men and white women was so prevalent in the US because they are on the same level socially.

Not to be cold, but why is it ridiculous for a citizen to want to ensure their country has doses for all its citizens first, before ‘ensuring countries have equal access’?

It's not at all ridiculous.

But there is a difference between nationalism and making sure one's country is taken care of first.

The former involves a "fuck everyone else" and the latter is just ordering priorities.

Oh I agree. That thread is getting super spicy between US members wanting the US gov to make sure vaccinations for US citizens remains on track and Non-US members throwing hissy fits.

It’s really hard to describe. But blacks tend to be musclier and have a slightly different bone structure. This happened because of years of slavery, which is why blacks tend to be stronger than whites.

The people watching Zack Snyder's Justice League in the ResetERA.com thread right now are all loving it, including some of the biggest critics, heartwarming to see. :heart

spoiler (click to show/hide)
:teehee
[close]
Haven't seen it yet, but it's ridiculous really. Snyder's always been very talented, and his work has shown that. Yet they've shit on him due to critics. Some of it was resentment over his dudebro speech, his taste for darker themes and violence, his edge. Some of it was even jealousy over his fitness, encouragement of peak physique for his characters, and his own drive to be about as jacked as the actors he was filming. Some of the suckers there call that 'toxic masculinity.'

But it was mostly due to how much power critics have over their minds. I'd guess many critics gave Snyder a fair shake here considering the circumstances; also how it's plain to see now how the studio butchered the whole thing. And in turn, REEE can finally come in with an open mind because RottenTomatoes told them its okay.

Its even shallower than that; Disney talk a lot of talk about 'diversity', and nobody at AT&T does.
Therefore MCU = DIVERSE and DCEU = ALT RIGHT.

It really is that fucking idiotic.

Especially when the DC books/shows were diversifying the shit out of a lot of their stuff long before it was seen as positive publicity and a fiscally responsible thing to do (black Supermans and green lanterns, gay/bi heroes left and right, etc., whatever the hell Hawk and Dove were).  Hell, half the arrowverse is probably gay and they never played it off like it was special or something, just normal everyday living.

do you know anything about comics?

genuine question non-shit thread topic kind of

I was curious about comicsgate and did a small dive earlier trying to find info on it and it feels like there's scarcely anything about what played out past the initial furor

from what I gather it's like, bros claimed marvel was doing the whole go woke get broke thing, introducing changes left and right that they hated, kamala khan, riri williams, female thor, straight white captain america was secretly a nazi, all this stuff

they liked saying that all these changes were made for pandering and nobody was actually buying these comics, but people on the other side argue that there was a massive comics slump and every comic was selling badly at the same time, but some woke comics were doing well, but I can't find any citations either way

I know for a fact kamala khan was/is popular

what's the current state of all this?  have any of these changes stuck around, and if so was it a giant nothingburger and they're selling just fine?

it feels like an un-googleable question

I do remember when marvel announced new heroes snowflake and safespace, met with general disapproval from both political leanings, and to date the characters have not appeared in anything

It makes me think that it takes two to play that whole dumb culture war that is going on. Like Marvel just had their flagship Disney+ tv show focus mainly on their female superhero and there didn't seem to be any outrage at all. At the same time I also saw no one promote the show as super important representation.

you have ghostbusters 2016 hailed as sticking it to the haters, look it's FEMALE ghostbusters suck it fanboy pricks, and it becomes a lightning rod of shit

hidden figures also comes out in 2016, I recall zero controversy and the movie is well made and inspiring

annihilation comes out in 2018, a movie about 4 female scientists, no one says a word about how it's empowering young women in stem fields or brings up bechdel tests, and also the movie is awesome

just make good quality content and no one will throw a fit

McCammond apologized for the tweets before, when they surfaced in 2019 while still employed at Axios. The tweets resurfaced again over the weekend after Condé Nast announced her hiring on Friday. On Monday, a group of more than 20 Teen Vogue staff members sent a letter to management expressing concerns about McCammond's past tweets.

Maybe I should have told Astro they're an odious hypocrite and I'd gladly beat the shit out of them with a bike chain now that I think about it.

What’s your opinion about white people? :curious

Anyone with ANY sort of public profile that hasn't gone scorched earth on their old tweets is a fucking idiot.

Especially when the DC books/shows were diversifying the shit out of a lot of their stuff long before it was seen as positive publicity and a fiscally responsible thing to do (black Supermans and green lanterns, gay/bi heroes left and right, etc., whatever the hell Hawk and Dove were).  Hell, half the arrowverse is probably gay and they never played it off like it was special or something, just normal everyday living.

do you know anything about comics?

genuine question non-shit thread topic kind of

I was curious about comicsgate and did a small dive earlier trying to find info on it and it feels like there's scarcely anything about what played out past the initial furor

from what I gather it's like, bros claimed marvel was doing the whole go woke get broke thing, introducing changes left and right that they hated, kamala khan, riri williams, female thor, straight white captain america was secretly a nazi, all this stuff

they liked saying that all these changes were made for pandering and nobody was actually buying these comics, but people on the other side argue that there was a massive comics slump and every comic was selling badly at the same time, but some woke comics were doing well, but I can't find any citations either way

I know for a fact kamala khan was/is popular

what's the current state of all this?  have any of these changes stuck around, and if so was it a giant nothingburger and they're selling just fine?

it feels like an un-googleable question

I do remember when marvel announced new heroes snowflake and safespace, met with general disapproval from both political leanings, and to date the characters have not appeared in anything

I don’t really know much about comics, but I have some friends who do and I pick up things here and there through osmosis.  I couldn’t possibly tell you what comicsgate was about, as the only time I paid it any attention I just assumed it was some usual tempest-in-a-teapot Twitter bullshit.

If I recall rightly, comic books themselves as an industry for profit has been on steady downward trajectory for a very, very long time, and they’ve become more valuable a commodity as sort of an IP farm to adapt into other mediums people are more willing to spend money in.

As for representation in comics, I always understood it as something that over the years more and more industry people were doing because they themselves were [insert label here] and were in a position to introduce it authentically, or sometimes it was a “just because” thing where the writers thought it would be compelling or add to the character or story.  And then the culture warriors in social media that don’t actually have the stones to try and create things they like would use those properties and instances as ammunition in their war against Eastasia.  It became more obvious as they started using sex-positive female-led properties as a battlefield for their usual Puritanism (something with which resetera is all too familiar).

My apologies for the care post PogiJones, I should’ve asked you beforehand.
But I didn’t.

So there are some white people you wouldn’t beat with a bike chain?  Now I see why you didn’t fit in with resetera.

User Banned (Duration Pending Reviw): Inappropriate Commentary; Boys Club Behavior; Long History of Similar Behavior

Pour it over your girlfriends T shirt and dm me the result.
Reviw says DEATH.

DEATH BY SNU SNU.

Should have said: "Pour it over your girlfriends T shirt and dm me the result, if she's comfortable with that".

FUME5 learned nothing from Louie CK

Eh, who gives a shit, hasn't been a community I want to be a part of for a long time.
I got the pending review death sentence a little while back, turned into a perm about a week later. Sent in an appeal for shits and giggles, explaining how my so called history of behavior was bogus since I had nothing but a couple short term 3 day bans, and a couple 2 week bans including the pending review perm. All of them over various nonsense of course.

Here's the response a couple weeks or so later:

Hello BadAss2961,

Thank you for your message. Having reviewed your ban and history we have decided that it should be a permanent ban.

Take care,
ResetEra staff


lol

I know what it was though. I pissed off a lot of MCU fans in my day  :awesome
Maybe I should have told Astro they're an odious hypocrite and I'd gladly beat the shit out of them with a bike chain now that I think about it.

I hear you. If it's gonna be a perm let me at least get my money's worth first.

It makes me think that it takes two to play that whole dumb culture war that is going on. Like Marvel just had their flagship Disney+ tv show focus mainly on their female superhero and there didn't seem to be any outrage at all. At the same time I also saw no one promote the show as super important representation.

you have ghostbusters 2016 hailed as sticking it to the haters, look it's FEMALE ghostbusters suck it fanboy pricks, and it becomes a lightning rod of shit

hidden figures also comes out in 2016, I recall zero controversy and the movie is well made and inspiring

annihilation comes out in 2018, a movie about 4 female scientists, no one says a word about how it's empowering young women in stem fields or brings up bechdel tests, and also the movie is awesome

just make good quality content and no one will throw a fit
:idont

And most of the movie is shot from behind.    So much booty in BDU's. 
sigh

None of these people behave like this in real life. They are all meek as fuck and wouldn't have the guts to say anything to anyone they disagreed with. It's why they behave this way online.
