What makes it even more bizarre is that such a headline would've had an entirely different kind of meaning 20-30 years ago. A meaning that while probably still a little retarded, wouldn't have been anywhere near as retarded as what it means in today's clown world.
There are a fair number of scammy UV products out there, admittedly. In order for the UV light to properly do its job, it has to have a certain level of intensity/wavelength, and I forget which category of UV (A-B-C) it is that works best.
But for safety purposes, you REALLY don't want to let any of that emitting or reflecting onto your skin or eyes. Can also take a few minutes of constant contact or something do the job too.
The problem is, leftists will never do any research, or go into the details and explain the pros and cons essentially. They just label it as disinformation and try to get it censored and removed to "protect the peasants" from "hurting" themselves.
It's really telling when just talking to an old lefty friend from California. He can even act like a normal human being for a while.
But then when something like Chevron moving its company to Texas comes up, he starts foaming at the mouth about how the CEO "dares" to make something like, 10-20 million dollars a year? And my friend claims how he's just moving the company so he can accumulate more money for himself. All while totally ignoring how California laws and taxes can impact the company as a whole.
Plus, in some respects, that's probably chump change compared to how much money a lot of CEO's and politicians rake in.
Ironically, you see this occasionally happen in multiplayer survival games. I've seen on at least a few occasions where women end up taking up a role where they'd rather sit around the base and manage or organize things while the men go out and do all of the resource gathering, looting, and fighting.
It's actually kind of amusing now that I think of it.
I've long acknowledged I would be dead weight in such a scenario.
I dunno why some people can't handle such honest perspectives of themselves. It's not even necessarily something to be taken personally, just simply a matter of reality and a willingness to acknowledge and accept it.
Ah wait, now I see why leftards would take offense.
The goal isn't always to win the war, but at the very least have a shot at protecting your family and your home.
If you have to weather out a long dystopia, it's better to have some tools and resources. And it's better to weather it out than to lay down and surrender entirely.
He's been falling for a lot of bait and going overboard on points that he's not likely to gain favorable votes on anyway.
Like on Roe vs Wade. He'd be better off just keeping it short and to the point, since it's a topic where people are already firmly embedded in a camp. And pro lifer voters don't have as much enthusiasm as they once did imo.
The Democrats have pulled out all the stops on this one. The moderators are delivering obviously prepared, leading "gotcha" questions for Trump, basically doing half of Harris' work for her. While giving her favorably worded questions. It almost comes off like a principal-student-parent conference, with both sides treating Trump like a trouble-making child.
I know her prep team had some former Obama staffers, which is telling, (and unfortunately still effective as far as optics go).
Sort of a side-note, but I half wonder if the Democrats might've used AI text-gen trained on both candidates to plan out some of their strategy and talking points.
I think the bigger issue with the prequels was that George Lucas cannot write decent dialogue if his life depended on it. Almost every single one of Anakin's lines, especially in episode 2 and 3, are just comically bad.
Very much true. And their level of awareness, on who's who and where's where is very lacking.
So they only go for the "biggest fish" they can think of, while failing to realize that those so-called bigger fish barely make up even a tiny tiny portion (if that) of what's influencing audiences to reject their shitty products.
I've heard mixed opinions on the quality and accuracy of many of its translations. Which makes sense given how controversial it is.
You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who wouldn't apply at least a little bias into such a task, from one extreme or another.
Aye, those are some fair points. And you're right. If someone likes something, a lot, they're rarely going to get completely burned out on it. Or at least not enough to abandon it completely, generally.
And while I thought I'd been arguing in good faith, I admit I may not have been aware of my own clouded bias. Just because I don't really dig a lot of those earlier Western films doesn't mean that a lot of other people with perfectly good taste couldn't.
I do think that there can be at least some degree of genre fatigue though, but it's probably something that has to be especially over-saturated to cause any kind of significant audience "burnout". Usually, the average person just naturally addresses such things by changing things up with their own variety in what kind of media they partake in.
Not so easy of course when leftists have done everything they can to turn things to shit.
Indeed... And leftists have essentially become synonymous with whatever's "trending" on Twitter or Tiktok. Or rather, they have been for at least 10 years now. And it's only going to get increasingly retarded and annoying.
Reality shows are... not exactly a good example, since they're more ingrained with a particular format or structure than a strict setting. As for why they're still so rampant, a lot of that can be attributed to low production costs and a particularly effective appeal to women.
They've essentially overtaken what used to be reserved for sitcoms and gameshows. Low cost and minimal effort to make, minimal conflict, low effort on plot (generally), sometimes episodic in nature (due to minimal plot), etc. A fair bit more braindead than some of the better sitcoms in the past though.
I think it depends a lot on how much variety you can actually get out of a particular genre or setting. More-so when it comes to film and TV shows. When it comes to games you have a much wider range of options available since you're not just offering a linear story, but gameplay, combat, interaction, etc.
I do agree though, the complete absence is a little bit curious. Especially when it comes to games. Might be too much of a hard sell for publishers and developers to take their chances on.
I never met them through the game, so much as they were chicks I'd known from elsewhere (one from an mmo, one a friend of a friend, etc) who ended up wanting to join in.
Otherwise, I suppose it wouldn't be totally outlandish to come across random women in the right kind of survival game servers. Minecraft seems to have been a popular introductory survival game for a fair number of women over the years.
