And they’re even worse than B movies when I was a kid. Back then you could count on gratuitous nudity and at least one good, gory kill that blew the budget. Nowadays it’s all shitty plug in CGI blood splatter and, if you’re lucky, a chick not wearing a bra.
Yes, but imagine if it doesn’t. You could have a Disney produced live action evangelion adaptation! Asuka will be black! Gendo will be a woman! The fact it’s Lilith down there will be cranked up to 11 and the angels will represent the PATRIARCHY. The theme song will be from whoever their latest pop music product is. the plug suits will be made into burkas so as not to encourage the male gaze (except for Shinji’s, who will be played by a transgender actor). IT’LL BE GLORIOUS!!
I’m missing the part where this is the private companies’ responsibility, or why the taxes they pay aren’t covering this need already. Obviously, this will just result in a 5% increase in everyone’s fees (worldwide, I’m sure, not just Canada). But I wouldn’t be surprised to see these services just pull out of Canada altogether, for fear of this shit setting a precedent.
Don’t forget they totally wanted to put anyone who refused the jab into camps, too. You’re right, we’re way past “road to hell is paved with good intentions.” We’re in hell. We slippery sloped our way there by making the mistake of being tolerant of stupid ideas. Now the stupid people want to make it illegal to not be stupid. That’s why Christians are “right wing extremists” and honoring a dead police officer with a flag meant to represent police officers is “racism.” And I’m sure not getting the mandatory-not-mandatory avian flu “vaccine” will land us all in camps, like they wanted to do with Covid. And the whole while, the stupid people will look at the Holocaust and chant “never again” and “yes we can.”
It's a "road to hell is paved with good intentions" thing. Opposing racism? That's fine. But then there was a creeping scale of what was considered racist, going so far that enforcing laws on black people for doing shit that's clearly illegal (like looting in San Francisco) is considered "racist" because "it's their culture." I suppose it started with silly concepts like valuing all ideas. Again, not horrible in its own right. Maybe every possible concept should be considered. But considered was turned to acceptance. It was unfair or bigoted or pigheaded to consider something and say "that's fucking stupid, and you're stupid for thinking it." After that, everything had to be accepted. So nobody could question the idea that "crime is their culture" or "imprisoning criminals = modern slavery."
Did you actually watch the clip you posted? This moment isn’t about Star Wars, it’s about the movie The Hate You Give. Trevor Noah says it right there at the start! Wait, how old is this clip? Trevor Noah hasn’t been the host of The Daily Show for a couple of years now.
Not quite related but I just want to bitch. I’m a certified public accountant (CPA). I work in auditing. There was a very common term in this field “segregation of duties.” It meant that you couldn’t have one person doing everything and needed to split up responsibility for, say, ordering inventory, receiving inventory, and counting inventory, so that way there’d be checks and balances in the organization. It seems that because “segregation” existed and offends people, the field has moved to using “separation of duties” even though “segregation of duties” was never about racism. Since it shared it word, it became guilty by association. Here’s the thing: “separation” and “segregation” are NOT the exact same word. Segregation means separating into independent functional groups (remember “separate but equal?”). So when you segregated duties it was among roughly comparable positions (managers, supervisors, etc.). You didn’t just grab the janitor and tell him “hey, now you have to do account reconciliations.” But hey, anything to not appear racist to people too stupid to know that words have meanings, right?
That’s terrible! Show me where these video are so I can make sure to avoid them in the future.
