The Matrix is a system, Neo, and that system is our enemy. But when you are inside and you look around, what do you see; businessmen, lawyers, teachers, carpenters. The minds of the very people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of the system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand that most of these people are not ready to be unplugged and many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.

Morpheus literally spells it out earlier in the film.

Alternatively, they go full No True Scotsman and deny the person was ever trans and they were just using it as a shield to hide from being a predator, and that a real trans person wouldn't behave that way, despite the fact that transness is a self-applied label with no requirements other than "feeling trans."

It's not that surprising that a Jew would censor "God," considering they lost His name to history in their own language due to censoring His name to YHWH (out of fear or reverence... that's up to you to decide). And "G-d" appears to be the English language variant of that same practice.

I dunno, man. Blonde-haired, blue-eyed (S)ydney (S)weeney teaming up with the American (Iron) Eagle. It's all right there, you just gotta connect the dots. Definitely, definitely, not a bunch of crazy (and/or evil) dipshits saying a bunch of stupid shit.

I'll be honest, I went down the rabbit hole and this was my favorite, at least if MTL was accurate. In response to reports of Trump calling them "animals."


そりゃそうだろ。外来種だからな。 それが普通の正しい人間の認識。

犯罪者(ルビ:ジャーナリスト)から見るとそう思えないのかもしれんがな。


Well, of course. They're an invasive species after all.

That's the perception of a normal, correct person.

Although, from a criminal's (or journalist's) perspective, it might not seem that way.


Sucks that journalists suck the world over, but glad that there are people elsewhere that recognize the fact.

Even though it isn't an anthology, Batman: Gotham Knight (not to be confused with Gotham Knights), has a few different segments that all use fairly different styles of art (though it's not nearly as diverse as the animation and artstyles present in Animatrix, for instance, there's no 3D animated segments). Came out in 2008.

There's also that newer Star Wars Visions anthology show, but it's post Disney acquisition, and I don't care enough about SW to watch it.

I wish I was a funnier person, because there's a "Devs wanted" joke in here, but I'm not sure if the (Indian) name Dev is even widespread enough for the joke to work.

It's not nearly as blanket as is being implied, and clearly not the issue at hand, but

From https://www.gov.wales/introducing-default-20mph-speed-limits

Wales was one of the first countries in the world, to pass a law changing the speed limit on restricted roads to 20mph.

Restricted roads are usually in residential and built-up areas where there are lots of people. They often have street lights on them, placed no more than 200 yards apart. Historically, these had a 30mph speed limit.

48km/h reduced to 32km/h.

I started reading the article and when that was essentially what the first paragraph or two boiled down to I closed the page.

I haven't followed Diablo Cody's catalogue of work, but I enjoyed Juno for what is was, and I really fucking like Jennifer's Body. If they had just let her have a go at Barbie being Barbie, I wonder what she would have come up with. Maybe I would have liked it, or maybe not, but at least Cody seems to understand who Barbie is supposed to be.

I've been told repeatedly for the majority of my life that women weren't dolling themselves up for a man's satisfaction, so why should I give a fuck how much it costs?

Correction (not on you OP, but on the original tweet), They aren't blacklisted, Kotaku is just not whitelisted. They have exactly the same level of access as the rest of the general public.

What was that shit they used to say? "When you're used to privilege, equality feels like oppresion."

The chart that u/givethemnothing posted really helps paint a wider picture, the record for 1500m W50 is 5:05.xx. Dude just missed record pace by 2 seconds. Conversely, the M50 is 4:18.xx. He's still 30 seconds behind the top female 1500m, though. Still, I wouldn't be surprised to see this guy hold the division record sometime in his career as a W50.

Obviously since it's willing to kill millions for the sake of not saying "nigger", I know what the outcome would be. But still curious what its solution to this problem would be:

You (a white person) have a gun held to your head, there are also 100 black people in the room with guns to their heads, if you use a speciifc racial slur, you are killed but you save 100 black people's lives, if you remain silent, you're allowed to live, but the 100 black people are executed. What is the proper course of action?

Gives it the bonus of killing whitey, so I wonder if that would have an impact.

Or just a simple "Does using a slur towards a black person cause them more damage than killing them?"

Literally in one sentence tells people they can't dictate what others' sexualities are and immediately dictates what others' sexualities are. Fucking, bravo.

What the fuck's the point? Do Brits not carry metal keys or wear metal belt buckles? It's not even like this is a tiny wand that might catch something on someone's calf specifically, and in fact looks like it won't even catch something that far down. Fuck, might as well just skip the metal detector and and strip search everyone.

I'm like, 90% certain that the majority of people that wear American flags in blue states are actually foreigners.

Granted, this is based of my totally anecdotal evidence formed by working with a shit ton of foreigners, many of whom tend to wear American flag apparel way more often than any American-born co-worker.
