Like, to the transgender community of this thread, is there a precedent for some people within the transgender community still having very traditional ideas of gender roles and sexuality and being kind of lovely about them? Its genuinely surprising to me to see a trans person going around calling people "low testosterone beta cucks" and "50 year old bisexuals" because it seems to me like those would be insults and ideas a trans person would be pretty sensitive about.

I don't mean to put any of you on the spot, but I just am kinda surprised by her. Maybe I am too deep into a virtue of the oppressed fallacy.

It's blatantly obvious that he's violating the Hatch Act but prosecuting him for it would probably be exceedingly difficult.

The FBI, NSA, and CIA are always revolving in who gets the scorn for a few years. Back when Y'all Qaeda was happening, a lot of people were saying stuff about how the FBI has had a better track record than the CIA; just faint praise acknowledging that they basically hadn't been caught with their pants around their ankles frequently.

Comey is obviously changing that. The right wing bubble has come to the same conclusion that he's a loving clown, it's just that their algebra included some false flag nonsense.

He's not, really. He just barely passed the 5 percent support threshold for admission into the debate (with the help of Jill Stein supporters, evidently.)

Did you guys hear about the respected, liberal NYU assistant professor who's being unfairly punished and censored by the authorities, put on leave and at risk of losing his position simply because of a misunderstood Twitter experiment? Fortunately, the Washington Post gave him space in the opinion section to speak out against this injustice, in a thoughtful piece entitled 'Here’s What Happened When I Challenged the PC Campus Culture at NYU', in which he establishes his liberal credentials, and calmly explains the injustice that threatens him:

...before convincingly explaining his innocent Twitter 'thought-experiment', cruelly and intentionally misrepresented by the powers that be:

I read to the end of this article waiting for the punchline, but none came.

Woods porn is one of the weirdest parts of our shared cultural identity.

Woods porn sounds like an urban legend or a joke but every single person I know of my age group has a woods porn story.

I got probated for saying that Batman kills people.

Also, my original 2004 reg date account got banned in 2006 because a guy who had a helldump megathread about his sex tourism and buying a Thai wife was posting anti-immigrant stuff in GBS and I posted his picture and quote from the thread and said it seemed like he loved some immigrants when GBS had a 0 tolerance policy for Helldumping outside of Helldump.

I miss Helldump. 2005 SA was about 5x bigger and had a much more diverse userbase that allowed for significantly more creeps and Helldump was a small, but insanely devoted group of internet detectives.

Ferretball was an amazing specimen to behold in LF circa 2007. If I remember correctly, he loved Ron Paul and would end every political post with "BTW I have a muslim girlfriend."

I just want them to copy more Kurosawa. Wheres the star wars yojimbo, seven samurai, ran, etc? Just copy that poo poo and have ewan mcgregor kenobi pulled into some yojimbo poo poo, or an old contact wanting help and have him seven samurai it up. C'mon Disney.

Tom Guycot posted:

Honestly, I don't care how much its been done, yojimbo is a great story that works perfect. Is far as these spinoff movies go, I want the han solo one to be a fast and furious: star wars edition heist movie. Then have ewan mcgregor reprise obiwan and get involved with some yojimbo poo poo. Go back to ripping off movies and pop culture and doing it with a fantasy space theme, star wars. Its what did it for you in the first place.

You're a bad person for thinking the Transformers movies were bad.

Watching Transformers for the human actors is like watching porn for intriguing dialogue.

The 2016 Ghostbusters is on par if not better in some ways than the 1984 one.

For one, there's character development in the 2016 version.
