Just use your 3D printer to print it out or. Write it into your visual view program for your Google Glasses. Then you don't even need to leave home to do anything.

So I saw a trailer for the Michael Bay Benghazi movie with the government telling troops not to save our people and a character literally going "we requested an air strike but it never came" several people in the theater started talking about how horrible it was that Hillary let that happen. If a Michael Bay movie spreads enough misinformation to get a Republican elected I'm just going to walk into the ocean and hope I'm reincarnated in a different country. Do we have a thread talking about this abomination.

I'm a librarian, and in literary thinking today this is quite simply why cyberpunk as a science fiction genre has died out except for deliberately retro stuff: cyberpunk came true. Just about everything people associated with cyberpunk's vision of the future, people now associate with real life.

The Blaze will probably push poo poo about it from here until 2024 but a poo poo Michael Bay movie wasn't the tipping point of constant Hillary hate.

The movie looks fun though in the sense of how bad it will be. It has barely anything to do with the actual victims of the Benghazi attack, the actors playing those people have like 20th billing at best and the film instead focuses on fictional PMCs that uh failed to save them. Anyway here's Vilerat:  As a bonus, here is the actor playing the leader of whatever the gently caress the movie is turning Ansar al-Sharia into:

It's from Beijing but it's not like "well you'll never see the sunset, have a virtual one" it was a conveniently timed picture of the screen having an advertisement for tourism in Shandong + a usual day of lovely pollution

From what I remember, the issue was more marketing -- that when they fid marketing surveys, they found that Kids These Days didn't understand the concept of "cyberpunk" as a genre. Like, the term meant nothing to them and if you just described the elements (evil corporations control everything, cybernetics, etc) they didn't realize you were talking science fiction.

radical meme posted:This is really a very big deal; the systematic destruction of our judicial system right here. But, it's such a wonky issue that it's almost impossible to get people worked up over it. Corporations, especially insurance companies, have been hacking away at our open court system for decades. People don't concern themselves with it until it directly affects them or a close family member and then it's too late. Add in a compliant congress, at both state and federal level, and you get more and more legislation that destroys the right to civil trials. Our form of democracy, representative government, can not survive without a vibrant and active judiciary. Even libertarian poo poo-head theory depends on an active judiciary.

Are they even gonna bother to call the group Ansar al Sharia?Here's the actual dude he (might) be portraying:  quote:Ahmed Abu Khattala (born c. 1971) is an incarcerated Muslim Libyan, who commanded a small militia during the 2011 uprising against Qaddafi. He is suspected of participating in the 2012 Benghazi attack on the American diplomatic mission at Benghazi, in which Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed.

I kinda hope he turns this movie down because he deserves better. Dapper_Swindler fucked around with this message at 01:31 on Nov 1, 2015 |

Consider I was going by January releases are infamously terrible at the box office, though an exception does appear to be lovely rear end military kills Muslims films. Of the top 20 January wide releases, 1/5th fit this criteria (American Sniper, Lone Survivor, Black Hawk Down, Zero Dark Thirty). However, all 4 of those were awards bait films that had limited releases in December the previous year, before their January wide release to be eligible for the Oscars and build up hype. Benghazi The Movie does not have that.

A) coming out literally 10 months before the election, B) the people stupid enough to think it and American Sniper were documentaries already agreed with those movies. It's not like there's gonna people people seeing it going 'woah I was gonna vote Hillary but after that Michael Bay movie I know she's a monster!'

They started chanting in solidarity for the most recent unjust Black Kid Murder. Hillary handled the situation hilariously poorly. If anything it was a good example of how things would have looked if Bernie tried to shout down his BLM interrupters. If anything, its really shameful that Hillary just took her support for granted and didnt have a plan for this scenario except "shout over BLM".

Well Deray Mackerson had a really productive sit down with HRC and staff, and posted a good trip report. I'm having trouble finding video (phone, putting kid to bed) but there was supposedly footage of Don Lemon interviewing some dude with a man bun who's just so disappointed with John Lewis, which is physically painful to read.
