James Cameron is like the only guy in Hollywood who could theoretically singlehandedly make a movie from screenplay to post-production.

Doesn't mean they are good movies.

Avatar is just a re-telling of Dances with Wolves. The white savior storyline is boring.

I think that most of Frank Miller's early success as a comic book artist can be attributed to Klaus Janson's inking. Since they stopped regularly collaborating Miller's art has gotten more abstract and arguably worse in technique. Meanwhile, nearly anyone who has their work inked by Janson ends up producing images that almost identical to heyday Miller a'la The Dark Knight Returns. In fact, I would go so far as to say that much of Miller's success, period, is due in thanks to Janson.

So he just traces?

The world only has two futures.
1. A utopian society where everyone is accepted.
2. Nuclear apocalypse caused by stupid reason.
I want it to be the first one but it will probably be the second. Oh well.

What happens when nazis start doxxing BLM folks, or pride participants, or random minorities that they take offense to? Who gets to decide which doxxing and harassment is good and cool? This government? That'll work out.

If it's cool to beat nazis in the street then is it cool to jump anyone if you take offense to their beliefs? What if the nazis start jumping back? Is it cool to beat someone from the radical far left down if I'm a bougie upper middle class type and they're advocating violence towards me?

Nazis suck and we should keep close eyes on their protests because they very much can be accused of inciting violence, in which case, take appropriate countermeasures, but you're an idiot if you think we should encourage vigilante justice.

What about people who look like nazis at a rally, but actual the doxxing is on the wrong person? Hell, what if I decide to doxx some rando I have an issue with by slandering them as a nazi. Do you trust some anonymous 4chan rear end in a top hat to correctly identify the culprits? I don't. Remember that rear end in a top hat libertarian cartoonist that 4chan decided was actually a full-on white nationalist and now half the people who hear about him know him as "Zyklon Dan" because 4chan edited all his poo poo to be racist?

IMO we should hold ourselves to higher standards than literal nazis. Like I think pedos should go to jail and not be dragged away and gangraped. I think ISIS fighters who get captured should go to a PoW camp, not a torture center.

Like if someone's publically a nazi laugh at them and call them a worthless loving nazi. If they commit a crime or threaten to, arrest them. Don't harass them like a loving 14-year-old from 2006.

BLM members are open about it and it was formed because of racism. There's nothing wrong with them.
Nazis should be exposed because their beliefs are hateful and violent.

I think it's a stupid thing to buy too but the big brother thing is overreacting by quite a bit. I mean yeah the NSA etc are probably able to listen through them, but what can't they listen through nowadays? I know it's not always true with law enforcement, but generally if you're a normal law-abiding citizen who isn't concocting some terrorist plot in front of your alexa, you don't really have anything to worry about from them listening to you.

The only selling point they'd have for me is they are probably easier to hook up to modern TVs than the old ones.

Generally I agree with you though. It's just not the same if you aren't playing with the actual console and a physical copy of the game. I can't describe logically how it is different, but like playing a rom even of some of my favorite games just isn't as interesting/fun. It's just a transparent cash-in on the obsession with "retro" everything. I also hate it because it's going to make it harder for me to sell my old stuff because everyone will say "why pay you 100 dollars for that top loading NES console when I could just buy the NES classic" etc.

everywhere thats tried communism has failed, socialism causes places like Venezuela where bitcoin mining is a viable job and preferable to getting a hard-working job because the economy is in shambles and the government provides free electricity for its residents, but that can't keep going on for long. not saying that the other ways that have failed or are in the process of failing is proof of capitalism being the Way, but its at least preferable to the currently known alternatives.
