I disagree entirely. First: world-building does not a story make. Second: there’s not as much world-building in The Dark Crystal as you remember there to be. And third: Children’s movies can and often DO have decent plots. Look at The Secret of NIMH, An American Tale, or The Neverending Story - all much more complex,…

I just rewatched the original last night, and honestly, the script is so thin that I doubt you’ll have any trouble getting on board with Age of Resistance. The world is amazing in the original, but the plot is so basic it barely even qualifies as a “hero’s journey” tale.

What I don’t get is why people feel the need to trumpet the things they DON’T like. There are many series I don’t enjoy, but I don’t wander into articles about them and tear them down. Why not just ignore series you don’t enjoy and move on? Why not spend your time lifting up things you enjoy instead of trashing things…

Since the TSA misses over 90% of contraband, you have a pretty good chance of getting it through security anyways.

So now we’re ALSO mad that Epic won’t allow games to sell on their storefront that is an abomination and shouldn’t exist? Y’all gotta make up your mind. You can’t simultaneously be mad that they exist AND mad that you can’t buy every game in existence in their storefront that shouldn’t exist. Do you see how that’s…

No, you’re definitely lying. “I’m not entirely certain you know what a lie is” - what a classic fourth grade comeback. Your grasp of rhetoric is truly an indictment of whatever education system spit you out.

I love how, EXACTLY like your enemy Epic, you refuse to take even a teaspoon of criticism or think critically about your own behavior in any way. It would be ironic if it wasn’t so uniformly prevalent on your side of this particular Internet mob.

Wow, you don’t sound unhinged at all. If you could make a point without sounding like a breathless eighth grader convinced the world is out to get him, maybe more people would pay attention to your point.

Why should anyone respect “the office” at all? You’re just spouting shit someone else told you. Make an actual argument. Be a real human being.

My god, stop sucking his dick. It’s just pitiful, and there’s no way that syphilitic limp worm tastes good.

Stories like this are why I fucking despise both cops and prosecutors. They don’t care if justice is served - they just want to “win.”

That’s not what anyone in this discussion is saying. You’re willfully setting up a straw man to argue with - why are you not discussing what’s actually at hand? Are you that threatened by the idea that it’s possible to forget a child? Everyone in this thread agrees it’s less likely than forgetting the milk. Pay…

No, I don’t agree. Leaving aside the joke response that much of the time young children ARE just glorified milk receptacles... I’m a complex enough thinker to understand that all analogies are imperfect. That’s what makes them analogies. My children are obviously much more important and much higher in my consciousness…

That assumes that infant deaths due to collisions won’t increase beyond the vanishingly small number of infant deaths due to being left in a hot car. I suspect it’s still MUCH more dangerous to have them in the front seat than it is to risk forgetting them in the back seat.

The hubris of being certain that you’re always 100% in control of your own brain is breathtaking. YOU are a bad parent if you don’t allow for the possibility that you can make a mistake. The idiotic illusion you’ve cultivated that you are infallible is fucking toxic to kids. Be better - your family is depending on you.

What a fucking dumb take. You’ve clearly never been a parent if you’re 100% certain this could never happen to you.

You clearly don’t understand how towing works. They were parked on private property - they pay for the tow. Absolutely no question in any jurisdiction in the US.

Congratulations for only knowing rich people. You really think your privilege-blinded, self-selected sample tells us anything about the world? Fucking hell. I pity the people in your life if this is the sort of douchebaggery they have to put up with daily.

I’m a lifelong gamer, and I think it’s important to acknowledge that ALL video games are designed to maximize user engagement, just like any engineered electronic entertainment. You don’t have to include loot boxes or other slot-machine-style mechanics to stimulate the same kind of dopamine response. It doesn’t mean…

Ah, so violence is justified if something annoys you enough? Fuck off.
