The "98% of climate scientists agree climate change is real" was an actual real stat. But it's still lacking context.
It was that 98% agreed with the data that had been collected at that time, but there was no theory or explanation that they all had agreed on. Iirc, it was less than 2% that actually subscribed to the mainstream "man-made climate change over the last century that will melt the ice caps in 60 days" narrative.
It was from the foreword of a book from some prominent looney climate activist that the msm took and ran with.
I know I'm pretty useless without links but surely some body will remember what I'm talking about.
edit - Ok nvm I got the links Here
It comes from an Obama tweet from 2013. And despite climate scientists triggering an immediate gag reflex from anybody sane, the actual most consistent consensus among them was that climate change was "real" (as in, the miniscule average temperature rise as depicted in the data is real) but that the burning of fossil fuels was still necessary, especially if this was the only impact it had. They actually had the opposite opinion of the people pushing the narrative.
Normally I'd agree but I was in Miami less than 2 weeks ago and it was exactly what this trailer showed lol. Didn't even have to see the Everglades to know it was Florida right away.
Very few white people outside of UoM campus
I mean i don't want you to believe anything. I went in expecting a lecture but it wasn't at all. If anything the juxtaposition was how living "normal life" with the woke shit was causing people with sentience as stated in the movie to go insane.
They shit on the blue pill which is what neo gets prescribed by his therapist that he ends up flushing down the sink after having enough.
Watch it or don't, I don't give a shit. But don't base your opinion off op-eds.
Meh. Don't get me wrong it wasn't anywhere close to what 1 was.
The meta-talk was part of the first half hour before the audience realizes it's actually the matrix. It has woke shit but then later in the movie it's explained that people are tortured and made miserable on purpose to generate more energy for the machines. The plot made sense except it ran very fast. Almost like half the movie was played at 1.25x speed. Makes me think this the prequel to the sequel.
Not the worst of the 4 for sure.
I just got out. It wasn't bad boys. It was more like the matrix 1 than 2 or 3.
The two screengrabs on .win front page are both literally 3 seconds in the 2.5 hour movie and it's actually sarcastic. That's part of the "newly updated" matrix and it's understood that the audience sees the matrix as a shit version of life and this scene in particular is poking fun at woke clueless game developers (implying they are precoded non-sentient beings stuck inside the matrix).
I'd give it a watch if you're a fan of the matrix 1, it's not stellar but it wasn't awful and definitely not a 2 hour trans-rights lecture like I was expecting.
I was worried the precident that the matrix set which is freedom, sentience, the power of the individual, would be ignored, but it was the central premise of 4.
The main thing is Riot doesn't see it as an allegory to the real world. They aren't pushing any message. It's a fantasy world that has some gritty realism in it. They don't have a problem showing the girls engaged in violence and getting their noses broken and teeth knocked out. There even was an attempted rape scene which highlighted the difference between Cait who is a highborn without any struggle and Vi who is an orphan, born into warfare and violence.
It is plausible that she could be a badass that takes dudes out in this fantasy world which is why I think it doesn't come off as preachy woke horseshit.
You're right, I expected Mary Sue garbage but found it really enjoyable instead.
This is what I said. The retard fucked himself on the stand when he couldn't articulate what crime arbery had committed to justify his citizens arrest.
He fucked himself and the appeal.
At the very least they had a strong appeal case considering the judges ridiculous interpretation of the citizens arrest law, and the fact the judge allowed the jury to deliberate among themselves what the law means.
Stop taking the stand as the defendant holy shit.
Yup. Had a similar conversation with a good friend, who is a veteran mind you, after sending our group text a meme of Kyle on the stand. It was like "you recounting shooting 3 people with the boys vs you recounting shooting 3 people on the stand" implying Kyle was fake crying on the stand.
I asked him if he was comfortable clowning on a kid clearly experiencing PTSD and remarked how the last time I saw hyperventilating like that was... Well, him. With his own PTSD.
We feigned a cordial conversation for a bit but it quickly got down to his actual beliefs when I mentioned the rioters were starting fires and raging at people all night. And he responded "they were too."
The left believes there's actually two sides out there battling it out which is just another continuation of their most used tactic. Even if you follow their rules, they will still come for you.
That's a pretty stupid theory considering it can never be tested.
I'll even fill in the second half of your theory: the "unknown percent chance" is actually ZERO.
I'm an electrician and I haven't quarantined or stopped working a single fuckin day and I've been in hundreds if not a thousand homes since the pandemic started and, trust me. Covid is fake. Nobody is fucking dying, I don't give a shit what numbers they come up with. If anybody was gonna catch Covid it's me, and I haven't even got the sniffles.
My own father told me NOT to get the vaccine because "absolutely nothing in your life will change." And he's correct. All these threats from government and OSHA and yet not once has anybody come out to the jobsite to go on any man dates. Every person I talk to in the real world doesn't believe a word of this shit and they are tired of hearing about it. The worst I'll encounter is a mask Karen who I just tell to shut the fuck up and mind your own business.
Anyone even considering getting this vaccine is an absolute brainwashed retard. Go outside.
Tekken 8 is a night and day improvement over the predatory mtx from 7.
I mean, they fuckin charged you for a functional practice mode in 7 with frame data. It is all baseline in 8 including a full replay system which saves not only your matches but high level ones too to learn from.
The game is fully featured for any level of player and any type of player.
The matchmaking and servers have worked flawlessly since day 1.
I don't really care if they charge for cosmetics or new characters because the base game is packed especially compared to how nickel and dimed we got in 7. Plus I probably won't buy them. The real question is are they gonna xim xer leo this time around or give her tits like in ttt2
