I’m not against you on principle, but I think even worse than the idea that anyone and everyone can and should have a gun is coupling it with the constant reinforcement that the right answer is always to USE said gun. We promote of a culture of gun as empowerment, a problem solver, a way to make your voice heard…

That doesn’t address my points at all, but the whole point of verification (initially) was to make sure that the person behind the account was who they said they were, and also that they were someone in a position that would need verification (ie. someone in danger of being impersonated: a company, a celeberity or…

Still waiting for the part where you guys defend the fridge nuking.

Wow, he literally did the “And yet you live in a society. Curious!” Bors comic.

I think it’s important to hammer home the consequences of the idea that grifters trying to get rich with the hubris to think they’re geniuses should be using their influence to direct public policy on safety and regulation.

Why not own your words? Why is the fact that this shit gets leaked always touted as the actual worst thing, rather than the things that were said? It’s like when the footage of Steven Crowder being an abusive shitfuck to his pregnant wife got leaked, Tim Pool said it was the leaker, not Crowder, who did the worse…

This didn’t even get into a lot of the times he’s supposedly just censored people who are critical of him or his other companies. Like that guy who ran an account critical of Tesla who I think Musk not only suspended but reached out to the guys employer to try to get him fired.

I don’t really have an issue with him going to a Blink-182 festival, but my guy - you don’t have to post about it.

Historically, that is the best way to get something from Trump. He has very little object permanence. The best way to get something favorable from him is to simply be the most recent person he’s talked to at any given time. He has an intense desire to be liked by those in his immediate vicinity, it can’t hurt to brute…

You’re also weirdly pointing out that we don’t need a descriptor for like “99% of people”. Sorry, what’s that last word? Looks like a descriptor to me. 99% of what? It obviously helps to have a descriptor if you’re discussing trans issues, to refer to both trans people and those who are not trans. I’ve never actually…

Which of those slurs will get you banned from Twitter today?

NOPE. It’s absolutely not.

It was apparently something that was cut very early and never filmed. The only remnants referring to it I could find were some hints in the novelization, and the fact that Sigourney Weaver’s screen test apparently included a love scene with Dallas (Tom Skerritt had not yet been cast). But it was removed before any…

Prometheus feels like there is a good movie in there that can’t get out of its own way. There are interesting ideas, and it tries to add some new and interesting concepts to the franchise...but then it just gets bogged down in how dumb and annoying all the characters are. Still, I can appreciate parts of it for what…

“Passengers are subsisting on a 96-hour supply of oxygen.”

I haven’t really seen any evidence of that, at least not in the large numbers you seem to be suggesting.

Not to mention, the Flash movie has had a pretty lame box office so far, and Ezra’s escapades are probably responsible for a decent chunk of that. While the studio may have been pushing to give him a pass, it doesn’t seem like audiences agreed.

I think it’s been taken very seriously, it’s been getting immense (well deserved) praise from nearly everyone, even with its sci-fi baggage.

Alien Covenant is in my opinion, the worst film of the franchise. Worse than Alien 3, worse than Resurrection, worse than Prometheus. It’s the only Alien film I’ve never had any desire to watch a second time.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, admittedly I only know what I’ve read here and there, but your opening line: “Nobody disputes that” - people are literally disputing that a few replies below yours.
