It's solid if you have kept up with the whole MCU. Pretty underwhelming if not. Much better than Black Panther either way. Thanos is an interesting villain.

he's the only one who seems to have any real pathos in the movie

gently caress Joe Rogan.

Anyone defending Rogan is basically giving him the benefit of the doubt without doing the research and actually looking to see how Rogan uses his platform. The only "leftist" I think that Rogan has ever brought on was Kyle Kulinski. The majority of Rogan's guests falls into the anti PC/SJW/trans/feminism etc. So yeah gently caress Joe Rogan.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Infinity War would have legit been a better film if they stuck with his comic origin and it wa5 just him trying to kill people so Death (A big tiddy skeleton) would want to gently caress him.

This, absolutely.

I think IW is okay overall, but Thanos' motivation makes absolutely no sense to me. Like, if this was done on a smaller scale, like taking place in a country or even a planet, okay, I can definitely see why one might be obsessed with the idea of overpopulation and depletion of resources. But it's not just one planet, it's the ENTIRE UNIVERSE. Why does Thanos, a guy who prior to getting the Infinity Gems*, can basically travel wherever the hell he wants, give a poo poo? There's no benefit for him if he's living on Titan to worry about what's going on a million light years away on Krypton or whatever.

I know the idea of someone doing crazy poo poo just to bang someone is cliche, but at least it's straightforward and makes complete sense within the context of the original comic. Yes, I appreciate his characterization and pathos he demonstrated in the film, but in the grand scheme of things, it just doesn't make sense.

*I don't know why they changed the gems to stones in the movie. It's not a huge deal, but it's also a completely needless change and I hate it when Hollywood does poo poo like this! :argh:

jfc Tim Pool came out with a vid called "Debunking The Narrative Of Right Wing Radicalization On Youtube" and I've been busying tear into how bad it is. Tim bases his premise on this article

https://medium.com/@markoledwich/we-have-been-misled-about-non-pc-youtube-b6ffea5e34fa

It's basically tries to dunk on the datasociety study and is the same as the diagram they have BUT some chud adds their own classification of Left/right/center based on Isidewith.com (LOL). I kinda typed out a paper to my conservative who linked me Tim's vid on how Ledwich's anaylsis has flaws that even Tim picked up on sadly. Interestingly if any remember that dailybeast piece, that is missing from both Tim and Ledwich's piece.

But Lewis’ research seems to be premised on the blurring of distinctions. It finds links of association between people like Spencer and mainstream conservatives, and places them all under the same extremist label, despite the fact that their views may diverge in fundamental ways.

How does Ben Shapiro diverge fundamentally from Richard Spencer? Their priorities might be a bit switched around, but they both belong on the same continuum.

so, I waste the precious seconds of my life on bitcoin and cryptocurrency bullshit

bitcoin started with anarcno-captialists and has always been no more than this >< close to the alt-right

just now I was greeted with this


https://twitter.com/gladstein/status/1079692494680535046


what's actually happening here is: the guys column is about how great Bitcoin is for Venezuela

archive link (it doesn't deserve a click and is dull even as dumb bitcoinery)

it's from the Human Rights Foundation - great name! sounds good!

Functionally appears to be part of the right-wing grift circuit and was put together by the lawyer from the Federalist

so, if i did write something it would be "the wingnut welfare circuit tries bitcoin." I'm hoping this isn't a trend.


"Gladstein is Chief Strategy Officer at the Human Rights Foundation and Guest Lecturer at Singularity University" tells you literally everything you need to know about the guy. I just asked him for his take on Roko's basilisk, let's see how he does there

I used to only watch music videos and some miscellaneous funny videos on youtube but suddenly I watch video game guides and my recs get flooded with "are sjws ruining call of duty???" type garbage.
