Random Thoughts 2: Arbitrary Speculations

[Takhisis]

Delicious. See, I would say Futurama is about ten to twenty times as awesome as Star Trek, but Futurama's awesomeness is not equal to zero so that would be incorrect.

 

[Lemon Merchant]

And on another vein, neither you nor Dr. Lemon get the right to compare Star Wars to excrement.

Wait. What? I didn't do that.

I find it fascinating that social media still hass this much power.
Am I the only damned person on this damned planet who has damned realized that it doesn't matter.
Twitter is just a bunch of people on the internet. Visible, loud people, but it only turns from a slight annoyance into a pc culture problem if people are dumb or emotional to take it seriously.

 

[The_J]

I'm not on any of that, and I find it very easy to ignore, I have to say .

Personally. I think the essence of acting is to to be able to assume any character (obviously within certain limits. It must be believable) I mean what's next? Are the aliens in Star Wars and Star Trek now to be played only by extra-terrestrials? Are we going to have mob violence over this now?

DId you know that not all of the women playing lesbians on the TV are real lesbians.

A bit of devil's advocate: Once upon a time, in theaters, all women were played by men.
Would it be acceptable today?
(does it happen? I have no idea)

That said: I find the outrage also stupid.

I think "promotion of prostitution" might be the least important thing about this, but maybe that's just me.

 

[Kyriakos]

^Wow.
Yeah, not sure what kind of vermin would be buying either.

40 years prison? She should have gotten death by Vivisection.*
*some of my law and order views are far to the right of Attila the Hun. But in this case i think it's justified.....

I ate 3kg of strawberries today. With that, I can now say with confidence that people are wrong: There is no such thing as "too much of a good thing".

 

[GoodSarmatian]

Eat another 5kg and give us updates.

 

[Ryika]

Unfortunately, there are no strawberries left now.

 

[Takhisis]

I think you need to control your impulses. Especially the not-inviting-your-fellow-CFCers-over-to-eat-strawberries impulse.

 

[Synobun]

I want a reboot of Starship Troopers.

 

[Broken_Erika]

I want a reboot of Starship Troopers.

I would like to know more.

 

[Ryika]

I want a reboot of Starship Troopers.

I think that's a bad idea; there's no way a reboot would capture what made the original so amazing. Would just become a random action flick.

 

[Synobun]

Now I really want a reboot of Starship Troopers.

 

[Broken_Erika]

If they based the reboot closely off the original book then you'd have troopers in nuclear powered battle-suits fighting bugs with chainguns attached to their limbs.

This needs to be directed by Michael Bay.

When I drink coffee that's just warmed down enough to be swallowed without hurting, and I then drink the whole cup of coffee really quickly, and place my hand on my tummy (or rather, slightly above it), then I can actually feel my body heat up from the coffee.

Don't know why I never done that before, but it's fascinating and feels funny.

 

[Hygro]

If they based the reboot closely off the original book then you'd have troopers in nuclear powered battle-suits fighting bugs with chainguns attached to their limbs.

With jump jets and other aliens too.

We still need a dedicated "Random news"-thread!

The moment a right-wing Proud Boy protester knocks out an antifa demonstrator is going viral online in the wake of the Portland riots last weekend.

Ethan Michael Nordean, also known as Rufio, is seen punching a reported antifa protester, who was wielding a baton, in the face.

The hit was so strong it sent the man’s sunglasses flying in the air, and it appeared to knock him out instantly. He then fell to the ground, seemingly knocked out cold. His limp body was then dragged away by two others.

Happened two weeks ago, unfortunately I missed it then (seems to be only reported on by right wing alternative media).

Pretty brutal video. Guy hits another guy with a baton multiple times, then he's punched in the face with full force by the guy he was just pummeling and falls to the ground like a trunk.

According to some guy on twitter (Yes, that's your hint to take this information with a grain of salt), the guy now "has a fractured skull and traumatic brain injury". Apparently, no charges against Michael Nordean.

I guess that's what you get when you're a college kid who engages in political violence against people twice your size and strength.
