Remember when all the discussions were happening in just a couple top posts, mostly meta posts? We've come a long way for sure and I'm proud of everyone.
I feel you, but if the movie shows any type of struggle against power, it is probably a more universal theme than what we percieve , especially here in the US, its probably just not that great of a movie otherwise, but with a relatable message. I have zero interest in seeing it, but now that it's become this culturally charged, I feel I must.
I legit don't remember the last time I went to see a movie...maybe like...one of the hobbit films? Or a Pixar flick with my niece? My brain is so addled, I do not recall. Oh well.
OK, I just asked my way more intelligent and practical wife, and it was Dunkirk, with my crazy mother, whos now all into wild conspiracies.
To me it sounds as good or better than my flint, at least from the video, and my needs for reverb are minimal, so I could see people like me buying this for sure.
Oh shit! Me and by buddy used to play this often on pc back then. And the second and third. I actually installed it on my PC recently, but it was kind of choppy, sadly. This game was my first real foray into these types of games, which are my favorite. I remember the entire first game. My boy Diego.. what was the one out there group called? The sect or something lol.
The argument usually seems to be coming from a "well if we all did it, this wouldn't be an issue!" Perspective. Which, well, I don't know. Doesn't seem very revolutionary to me, at the very least. You'd think you'd want to be in a constant state of revolution, especially towards your dear leaders, in order to keep things heading in the right direction. I don't know enough to say more than that.
Im stating the obvious here, but he's counting on winning, sowing violence, and the grift. With these charges, its inevitable that he will eventually go all in(again and worse) on getting his people riled up, using those people to sway court decisions or worse. It's a hostage situation more or less at this point. I don't think he is particularly concerned about getting his story straight, or telling believable lies. Not sure he ever was.
Everytime I sit down to actually write, and try to be grammatically correct, it always surprises me how many commas I use, especially when writing in my voice, and I always feel like I go overboard, so I check it over and over. (Did I get em right?)
Too late for me, but here is another gem from a few hours ago:
Biden and his family steal Millions and Millions of Dollars, including BRIBES from foreign countries, and I’m headed to D.C. to be ARRESTED for protesting a CROOKED ELECTION. UNFAIR VENUE, UNFAIR JUDGE. We are a Nation in Decline. MAGA!!!
Like dude you steal from contractors DIRECTLY among many other things. Lot of apathetic, frustrated, and hateful people with zero sense of self awareness to delude into thinking this guy is actually on their side. It never ceases to be surreal.
The worst part is that there is a tiny kernel of truth in it. The entire system IS corruption itself. It's just this guy happens to be a few flavors of mentally ill, and overt in his dealings. DT Era will he considered the inflection point for wherever we end up as a country. That's super pathetic and depressing af.
Wow well said. It's really a pitiable state. I wouldn't wish the DT perspective on anyone, ever. It's an indictment on us and our whole thing that he got this much pull in the first place. Your last paragraph sums it up.
