Yeah, away from the meat of the argument, trying to turn it into a tag line. It's like "RUSSIAN CONNECTION?!?!", the board version. It's actually pretty sad, I had no idea it was that important to you three, honestly. I'm pretty happy that people could read through the argument and come to their...

Yeah, you don't seem to be saying shit, that's the problem. You're arguing like Tolan for socialism. "Yeah but you can not KNOW, for sure--thus its wrong!" Your entire argument is predisposed on simply trying to say efficacy is not 100% absolute of the models/situation, but when I outline...

Would go to her son, Prince Charles.

The Palace has said no too, interested to see if anything is going on.

Looks like Prince Phillip has died according to some media. 95, damn long lived those British Royals.

Staff called to emergency meeting, Principle Phillip or Queen Elizabeth looks to have passed away.

They cut out one of my favorite lines already. :( Although given the weather, it might as well be Thursday, eh?

Sane person: It's not. Postmodern artist: Thought provoking, stunning and brave. It epitomizes the rage oppressed Muslims feel within their communities; how even at their most powerful they eliminate the very thing that could behold their power, making them impotent with fury. It captures the...

Yeah, on the aliens note--you do at least need the context of a human and evolution within our environment. But as you mentioned in your other post (I believe, but might be misinterpreting it), at some point everything does become subjective, because our measurements rise from arbitrary...

It's not though (Demonstrably false). Beethoven can induce a response even in people who have no clue who Beehthoven is. Without ANY context (And I believe there are studies which actually measure brain activity, I'll try to dig them up). But if someone ignorant to Beehtoven listened, they will...

He did misunderstand the question, and it absolutely matters--because its the point of the argument. No one confused anything, Feanor. Postmodernist art is an art philosophy that is critical of values in art. Through the elimination of values the hope was to expand the creativity in art by...

That's not what's being discussed. Here you're just trying to distance yourself from the argument. The name is a simple categorization tool to describe the chemical reaction in your brain when exposed to certain stimuli. The question is the range of that stimuli which should constitute...

Got taken to an early screening. It's a good film, still in that "upper band" of Marvel. But its like "Ant-Man" upper band, rather than the top tier grand slams that are Civil War/Winter Soldier/Guardians 1/Avengers. The problem is the plot is weak, and needlessly muddled. The first movie had...

You never wondered what it was like to be a bird or some other animal? As sent says, the limitations on what we feel are constrictions are also gone. If you could divide your consciousness up and absorb the memories, hell, there is no limit to what you'd want to experience (It becomes kind of...

Well, in terms of the human colossus, he's talking about a specific theory, I forget the name of it though . =-/ Essentially the theory is that the complexity of evolution is based on communication. You can look at any organism with a brain and nervous system the same way as we look (In a very...

I love the theory that this is the great barrier--this is why we've never seen aliens, or other sentient beings. At some point every civilizations learns how to interface digitally with their brains directly, eventually leading to the ability to transfer consciousness to machine bodies, or...

Not a good way to treat an adult. Maybe you missed how one was used on a child, and the fact that you're not dealing with a child? Also the fact that Yerm's opinion is the prevailing opinion in that thread in terms of discourse. It's difficult, if not impossible to segregate out Feminism from...

This question is like me saying my transmission is shot and you saying "So you hate cars now?!?" Cronyism is a potential fail state for Capitalism, just like Socialism. Capitalism simply takes much, much, much longer to reach that failed state, and you can do quite a bit to prevent and retard...

That's politics. That was literally the focus of multiple presidential debate questions and a ton of money was decided based on the okay of feminist organizations who watch this. Jesus, most of you simply do not understand how pervasive this is. Read this. It's about the Brave Girl statue, I...

Yeah, I mean, I'll post over here. But its just like the movie threads. Everything is politicized with this shit, it's the core of everything, so it comes up a lot. It's essentially what my post is about. Feminism is being used as a political defense against disliking the Burka, to disliking Air...

So it's not just the equality of women, right? Well, there is the issue. You can't defend it as the sole barrier of the equality of women while saying you can't even define it. Because you can just straw man a defense up about anything with that. If tomorrow I say female circumcision is...

I have no idea why they chose to go this route with cyborg. It doesn't look good--even if you can ignore the bad CGI.

Not to mention, the Hulk can't actually have his own movie under their contract, right? The Hulk HAs to appear in a film that's not named after him and he's not the main character in (I forget the details.) And Thor is the only one that could have a meaningful interaction that Hulk doesn't...

I Care Not The world isn't keeping it to some isolated space that doesn't bother people, I have no idea why you'd expect that here. When the entire world changes back to being sane, it will stop. I wouldn't hold your god damn breath though. That said, you can see where I linked the argument to...

The Dark Tower then, Idris Elba is the gunslinger, the main character, who 'being a cracker' was actually part of the book. It's almost a universally applauded change by major media companies.

Who separates it? Every major media company in the U.S. sure doesn't separate anymore, and it's pressure from them driving some of this. If having diversity in your film matters so much that everyone discusses it--then saying its separate from the film is just silly. I can go find you a...

This actually is off topic, and should go into the GG thread. I'll tag my reply over there, but this entire post, I'm afraid, is bullshit. For a lot of reasons.

How is casting in a movie not discussing the movie? I criticized someone who consistently attempts to shut down discussions in various threads about movies just because they are the kind of discussions @Xevy doesn't like. I know some people dislike how everything is politicized now, including...

How is it that your dumbass whines in every thread about this, even before the conversation begins? Tell whoever has your god damn balls to give them back, because you are an insufferable cunt.

It's not about accepted convention. It's about hypocrisy. You can't have a society that on one hand screams because Death Note is set in America, or Scarlett Johansson in the role of someone who was Japanese, and then supports seeing black people within a ball room and positions of power, in a...

Well, the other thing to, people who say "the power comes from coal" do not understand that it's still cleaner overall. If tomorrow you were to be able to magically give everyone an electric car BUT the trade off was, all their power had to be made at modern coal plants? It would still be a...

Someone brought up that I didn't respond to this, honestly missed the reply. No. I'm not. Labels are what we use to begin defining our world. No one is beyond that. We segregate things from their environment because that is how we describe reality. If you can't agree on that fundamental point...

It's not about the posting style, which I do because I typically write for speaking engagements. So using pauses with the correct punctuation mark so I know what intonation to use for a specific type of pause is just a habit. However what I was dismissing was about him taking something innocuous...

Man, that's kind of sad. I had no idea you were still so upset. It's been what, like a few weeks right? I couldn't imagine thinking about you that long then seeing one of your posts and getting angry. Let it go, man. Or at least don't shit up another thread with it.

Whole movie's plot in there--and it looks okay/good, looks like a standard Marvel origin hero's journey. Will probably be about as good as the rest of the origin/first movies. Looks like instead of being about him getting his powers, it's about him becoming spider-man on his own, without help.

Mass Effect: Andromeda - This is gonna rock!

Why call it something then? We don't often assign nothing a name. How did they assign it? It's a simple question. You said.. permanently eclipsed all other cultures in the quality of what they can produce How do you judge quality if art is nothing? Your own statements are contradictory. You...

No you can't. Because then art is nothing. Humans only define something as existing by segregating and identifying it. This is a core principle of reasoning and observation--it goes well beyond art. In the quality of what they can produce? Do you have some way to measure quality?

They are mad because "dead dropping" or whatever the fuck they call it, where you let people know your old identity is really taboo, and eventually is only done after you know someone really well. To have a conversation where its literally the first thing you say trivializes, supposedly, how...

I posted in the original revolutions thread that Reloaded wasn't good, but if Revolutions had gone another way, within the series Reloaded would have been great. There is a scene in Reloaded where the council leader was talking to Neo about control, and reality and machines. Neo is hating on the...
