You know, I don't like Trump very much, but it's been obvious to me for a while that a number of senior officials were working tirelessly to undermine him during his presidency.
I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. It should concern you that unelected officials are basically able to derail the elected president of the United States and get away with it.
But paying off a whore to keep her mouth shut (like rich people do all the time, election or not) is apparently eLEcTiOn TAmpEriNG.
If the left didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any at all.
I played it a bit because it's included in Game Pass. I haven't experienced any of the glitches the reviewers are talking about, but I don't see how this is a AAA title.
The graphics are basically PS3-era quality, and there really isn't much depth to either the story or gameplay. It really does feel like a last-gen game overall. The most infuriating aspect is that when you play as a group, only the host's story advances. When you go back to single player your levels and equipment carry over, but none of the missions you played on the host's game are completed. It's like they grafted multiplayer onto a game that was meant to be single player.
Regarding the publicity art, they're clearly trying to push the ESG agenda. The four PCs are: white guy, Indian guy, Hispanic girl, black girl. It seems like they wanted to tick the "diversity" boxes, but threw in a white dude to appease the bulk of gamers. It's not surprise that the black chick gets pride of place in the marketing.
Last Samurai guy was Ken Watanabe. I looked it up and he was born in Japan and apparently is not an American citizen or resident. I read an article a couple years ago where some journalist tried to get him to bag on The Last Samurai because of its white savior undertones and he defended the film, so props to him for that.
The "Asian American" qualifier seems so arbitrary. We all know famous Asian people, why does it matter if they're not also American?
Oh shit, I forgot about him. Did you know he played Shang Tsung in the original Mortal Kombat movie? Seeing that old man as a jacked martial artist is a trip, and really demonstrates the effect 30 years has on someone.
Speaking of, we could throw in the bad guy from Karate Kid 2. He owns a restaurant in Seattle.
I have no idea what either of those guys names are without looking them up though.
Article lambasts people for not being able to name a "famous living asian-american" then proceeds to not provide a list of any. So, show us all how stupid we are and give us a list so we can say "how could I forget XX". Unless you can't.
Amy Tan wrote the Joy Luck Club, which was made into a really popular movie in the 1990's. I'm not sure she meets their criteria of "famous", but she's the only one I can think of. Oh, and the chick that was in Agents of Shield and the Mandalorian, Ming-Na Wen, but I had to look her name up, so I guess I don't get credit for her.
Buddy Fucker. It's a euphemism popular in the military.
You didn't imagine Dr. Kynes as a strong black woman?
I found it a bold casting decision, because absolutely no one is swapping white male characters for females and minorities in other films.
That's in keeping with the book honestly. I loved the cinematography and feel of the 1980's film, but was always aware that it got very mixed, generally negative reviews from fans of the book. The ending always felt very rushed to me. I had always imagined that the book must significantly better, as is often the case.
Imagine my surprise when I finally read Dune a couple of years ago, and it's really not much better than the movie was. Even the ending in the book was rather rushed.
The new film sticks to the book a little bit better, but it lacks the style of the older one in my opinion. When/if they release part 2, it will basically end up stretching the older movie out to twice as long without adding significant content.
So, due to the pending lawsuits trying to force you to release the manifesto, your attorney advised you to...not release the manifesto?
How does that make any sense? You either aren't going to release it, in which case the lawsuits will determine whether the court will order you to release it. Or you are going to release it, in which case you just do it and the lawsuits become moot and go away.
That statement falsely makes it sound like the lawsuits are the reason they're not releasing it.
Isn't that Spider-Man's latest girlfriend?
LOL when people only remember you by the fictional character you played being related to another fictional character that people actually give a shit about.
This. Mass media has always had the capability to steer events rather than simply report them, and has never shied away from using it ("Remember the Maine!").
If they wanted to crash the economy like 2008 all they'd have to do is start reporting about how banks are about to collapse and they could start the bank runs themselves. Any bets on whether or not they would have done so if it wasn't a democrat-controlled presidency and congress right now?
I've lost count of how many couples I've seen where the girl would reach over and hit the man if he made a comment she didn't like. The usual response- laughter from the assembled group.
In contrast, I've never seen a man hit his girlfriend or wife. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but culturally we accept that it's okay for women to hit men because they're weaker but then prattle on about men hitting women, yet to the degree it happens it's done in the shadows because it's not acceptable culturally.
The look on your face when your demographic makes up more than 50% of a country, has numerous government programs to advance your cause, yet you still conned everyone into thinking you're a "minority" group.
I've never understood why he was popular- other than being eye candy for the ladies. I first saw him in the 2009 Star Trek movie and hated it and him. I can't think of a film I've seen him in that I care for.
Another product of Democratic party rule. A bullet to the brain would be a mercy for that creature.
There is only sin and righteousness.
Well there's your problem, one man's sin is another man's righteousness. I'm pretty sure the Muslims who blew up the World Trade Center thought they were righteous. And you'd find no shortage of people even today who agree with them. There literally isn't a single army in the history of mankind that didn't go to war thinking they were fighting for righteousness.
You're describing a theocracy, which was explicitly rejected by our founders, and only works if the vast majority of the population shares exactly the same religion and values.
And also isn't very free, because we're right back to "everything I like should be permitted, or maybe even compulsory, and everything I don't should send you straight to jail."
He's the sort of guy who should be sent to those Nazi and Japanese doctors doing horribly unethical experiments in WWII as a test subject. I bet they could really dig into what the fuck is wrong in the head with his kind.
Well, he has the same idea of freedom that most Americans do now: "everything I like should be permitted, or maybe even compulsory, and everything I don't should send you straight to jail."
Unfortunately, that goes for all sides, but the left has really turned the dial to 11 on this philosophy.
I don't understand why our civics education has failed so badly, but if you don't think your neighbor should be allowed to do whatever the fuck they want as long as it doesn't hurt somebody else, even if you don't personally like it, you're not really understanding the concept of freedom.
Jewish parent (usually mom)
Ugh. I had a friend that married a Jewish chick. She was basically an obnoxious stereotype of what you would imagine the mom from the Goldbergs to be like if she was in her late 20's.
Awful, and was probably the main reason the guy just cut off contact from out of the blue one day.
His character in the show is basically like Data in Star Trek, a socially awkward human computer. So they set up the same situations where his condition either allows him to see things that normal people can't and saves the day, or becomes the "problem" for the episode where the normal people have to course correct him.
This episode would be an example of the latter. The people making the show certainly are on board with the transgender agenda.
To be fair, that doesn't look like it has down syndrome, it's just a rounder faced Barbie. Unless it has really explicit packaging, I can see people buying it without even realizing what it's supposed to represent.
He collected those bullets the hard way.
Let's not forget HUD's own "Rezedents rights and Rispansabilities" booklet signed by "Sekretary Andrew M. Cuomo fella":

FIFY. In my experience, these "senior leader" types love the government because their position within it affords them power and prestige. As you say, they don't give two shits about the US, but I'll go even further and say they don't even give two shits about the agency they work for except to the extent that it serves as a vehicle to advance their own power and self-interest.
What is truly fascinating to me is that most of these people expose themselves for what they are fairly early in their career, yet no one seems to stop them.
