It probably would have been best as two movies. Honestly I never had as much of an issue with the hobbit as most people and I actually quite enjoyed it. I remember looking at a list of differences between the books and the movie, and other than the added scenes most of the differences to me were not taht huge of a deal. Oh not saying there were not issues, but eh worked good enough for me. I get the issues with it sure and I would even agree with some, but I hardly think it was the travesty people act like.
When people go so over the top like they did with the hobbit, it undercuts when the real garbage comes out like rings of power.
Dang just live with the consequences of what you wear. My boss literally wears coveralls to work sometimes and has been mistaken in similar ways. It isn't a gender thing that is in your head.
In fact I would be 200x less likely to assume a girl wearing coveralls is a mechanic vs a guy wearing coveralls. I would must more likely assume it was a guy.
This goes back to half the times I have heard girls complain about the "great sexist evil things" people have said to them on the internet. I hear their WORST examples, and then I think..."oh , yeah been called that one about 200 times since I was like 12. and also 700 things worse every freakin' day on the internet as a guy."
I am not saying it is ok still to do that, but dude that is the internet and most dudes who have interacted heavily on it for years have been called the worst things most of their life on a daily basis, but then these woke girls get on there and someone says one little mean thing and they act as the internet simply only hates them. Sorry girl, the internet hates everybody all the time constantly :P
I recall one of the later ends of SNL sketches still having some that were funny was the one with a dragon or something actually attacking in modern day and they had to summon the knights to defend them. So it was just like a bunch of famous musicians and actors sitting around the table as themselves trying to figure out how to fight a dragon or something .
I was amused.
Oh I thought they were supposed to be some evolutionary predecessor to the hobbits..... which are basically exactly the same as hobbits? I dunno whichever :P I could be wrong just what I heard lol.
I heard amazon like didn't have the right to use the term hobbit or is that not true?
It may be a dinosaur, but when you buy a car that expensive, 10 years is not "a dinosaur".
Maybe that one is, but say I buy an electric car tomorrow. What is to say in a number of years everything moves on to some new fancy battery style or whatever and suddenly mine is a "dinosaur" after only 8 years or something. This does not give me a good feeling of buying an electric car now unless there have been many years of having battery replacements that dont' total the car just cause "my car is a bit old."
Which in the scheme of cars, 10 years is not even that old..... dang...
Why so racist. You know that un-managed plastic represents people of color and managed plastic represents white people so you are racist. This is people of color erasure. Remember a clean neighborhood is also white supremacy.
There is the counterargument you will probably get.
Honestly, as someone from Kansas here, I definitely think a LOT of people were confused on it. Legit the "vote no" advertising was some of the most dishonest advertising I had ever seen. Every new commercial I would see on it I would literally take on the exact writing of the proposal and go through the commercial slowly and realize just how messed up that add was on completely misrepresenting it to outright claiming it was the opposite of what it actually said. One add would highlight the part about exceptions of "rape, and incest" [just highlight those words in the video] and then legit state those words meant the exact opposite of what it said in the bill. Just totally the opposite. This was one of the most common ads I saw. I legit must have seen it over 300 times no exaggeration.
On top of that, legit every single freakin' thing I did on every one of my devices had a "vote no if you vote yes it is evil" adds in front of it. I am not exaggerating even in the slightest. Every single youtube video, every single time I turned on my TV [I use a more of internet TV service] it would load up one of those ads. It was relentless.
In the other direction there was about a 3 day period I saw "Vote Yes" on it add, and it was a really lame add that I saw about 3 times over a 3 day period is all and then never again.
If I didn't educate myself on what the bill actually said, even as someone who is super anti-abortion [and I were just being lazy going off the ads to get info on the issue], I probably would have voted no based on the adds I saw cause I would almost swear it meant the opposite of what it meant.
I was also getting into constant text fights with people from Vote No groups who would text me, tell me the opposite of what the bill actually meant, and then ask what I would vote. Constantly to my phone this was happening.
I just never saw anything in the other direction correcting the issue, or how this was related to the Kansas Supreme Court why this was happening, or anything.
Depends on what the standard for morality is and if it even exists at all. Problem is, for most of all the situations where there is actual objective morality then it does actually contradict it and it is an oxymoron. But once again, you gotta define your basis for morality to claim that in either direction.
I am not even making an opinion on this topic in this post. Just saying that it isn't as simple as you are acting.
However, I would take issue with that second to last sentence on a separate point but I don't really care enough to argue it lol. That is too long of a discussion to have for this.
I have been noticing again and again I have been having to go to google because DDG just isn't giving me obvious search results that it should so I have to go over to google [barf] just to find what I need.
I just don't know what to use instead that is better ;( HALP
I think this is a good point. What you described is what I actually notice quite reliably with many women [not all]. Often it is just something that gives them the illusion of safety that works, but actual safe things is not quite as important sometimes.
Just making this up but this has happened many times with gun owners I know for sure: Guy goes out with girl someplace, shopping, camping, whatever.... he is an incredibly responsible gun owner, super safe, and she may even know it, but in her mind having a gun is "unsafe" when in reality they are much safer having one.
Gosh it actually reminds me of one of the most stupid lines in modern "netflix-style-media-history" I heard. I was watching the new "Lost In Space" remake thing. The wife just outright sucks in that show.
The dad, who is like literally military trained super good soldier guy, somehow gets a gun. She is all "YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT GUNS IN THIS HOUSEHOLD!" scolding him to get rid of it. Tey are literally LOST IN SPACE WITH SPACE ALIENS AND MONSTERS TRYING TO KILL THEIR CHILDREN EVERY 5 MINUTES. But no, gun scary to her so instead of actual safety you better get rid of that gun military trained combat veteran husband of mine!!!
Yeah, that is just it.... they totally could have and probably would have been better as such.
