The policies Trump has advocated are inflationary. Peace through strength is a dumb slogan -- almost as mindless as "peace thru strength." Trump's egomania is not a threat because he'll personally give you one scoop of vanilla ice cream to his two. It's a threat because he's a relatively apolitical narcissist concerned about his own self-aggrandizement. This was witnessed when he had one of the all-time great melt-downs and whine-fests at losing the election and staged a coup.
As for my braindead voters... I'm not a Democrat. I've never voted for a Democrat for president in my life, and I won't this year. That said, the Democrats are generally better than Republicans. It's amazing what you think Trump will accomplish when the only major conservative piece of legislation passed was a tax cut for the rich. The Republican Party has long been about converting social grievance to tax cut, and you're just one of the suckers hoodwinked by Trump's conman skills. He's always been adept at getting dumb rubes, and you're just another mark. I normally wouldn't mind if you want to give him money for a fake university or an NFT or a resort. When you give him votes, it affects everyone.
The vast majority of your word vomit had nothing to do with my comment and never answered my question. You sound mentally ill. It's pleasing to learn Trump "says what he will do and a [sic] does what he say[s]" -- like getting Mexico to pay for a wall. Or the better health-care he promised everyone would get at a fraction of the cost. Some of us had doubts, but Daddy assured us it would be "so easy." Anyway, enjoy your "Covid treatments like Ivermectin."
I wrote, "Again, those Jasons were cowed."
And you replied, "No, *SOME* of those Jasons were 'cowed'."
Can we just agree that your semantic wanking is wildly incompetent? The Jasons who were present were cowed. The others unseen (but thriving in your fevered imagination) were too incompetent to even trace the family.
As for behavior, you're reduced from saying that "we're not insects" to "we're not soldiers." We also don't have clones of ourselves. It's instructive you're willing to suspend disbelief for a violation of the laws of nature, but for some reason wholly unwilling to consider the logical consequences. Do better.
>I can't imagine the author saying "And then all the excess Jasons killed themselves" would make for a remotely satisfactory ending lol. And then Jason's family would have to explain why hundreds of clones of himself committed suicide to the authorities.
Please try to read for comprehension. From the beginning I've maintained that this ending was crafted precisely for commercial purposes. Of course having a product where a family uses its tens of millions of dollars to retreat to a foreign country is not as cool as traveling to Empathy Chicago.
It might've been better if the flying came as a surprise to the audience at the same time as the protagonist. Instead, it was thrown away in a line of dialogue.
The main problem with this hypothesis is that it's what scientists term "retarded." The debate was always optional. There was practice leading up to it. With your grand media-government-Hollywood conspiracy, Biden's campaign should have sheltered their candidate.
There's a tendency in politics (and stan culture) to judge people by their worst or best moments. An obvious-as-a-dick-in-the-face problem with this is that it's unrepresentative of the person. Everyone has good and bad moments. Biden's age means he's going to have more bad moments. Recall the Trumpian pre-debate nonsense: Biden's going to be hopped up on performance-enhancing drugs (think about this with respect to falsifiability).
It's just foolish to believe the media "censors" Biden's gaffes. If anything they're trumpeted to conceal decline because observers can credibly say, "Joe Biden has always been a gaffe machine."
As for Hollywood, people like Clooney saw Biden at the fundraiser. It's easy to dismiss because it's just one moment in front of a friendly crowd. It's unacceptable to have these kinds of moments at an inflection point in a race against Donald Trump. This country is already filled with braindead zombies because Trump has received millions of votes. Tens of millions of votes. So many votes. Almost as many Hillary.
> Homelander, as the covert narcissist, is actually more of a liberal figure than a Republican one. Conversely, Butcher is much closer to a Christian Republican family person, akin to Trump.
This is precisely the type of mildly retarded comment I need to just let go, but I can't. Covert narcissists can be Democrats or Republicans, liberals or conservatives. Is Trump's undisguised narcissism supposed to be conservative?
>What's more intriguing to me is the introduction of a black character who is supposedly the smartest person on earth, yet is portrayed in a typical far-left manner (narcissistic, manipulative, antisocial). It's perplexing; it's as if the left has become so oblivious to sinful behavior that they fail to realize they are depicting a minority character in such a negative light.
This is the kind of satire the world needs.
I thought he said at one point that he can fly. His strength was demonstrated when he killed a man with a baseball in the S4E1. Everything about that was kind of stupid, though.
And if that were true, why did Biden debate? Why did so many in Hollywood immediately react with horror? It's amazing how humans are almost hard-wired to believe in non-existent conspiracies.
I expect his son to laser him dead.
>Some of the Jasons did that. Not all. There's also the impending issue of lots of dead Jasons to be discovered by the authorities. And all the other Jasons just hanging around. That world is burned.
Again, those Jasons were cowed. Again, the good Jasons, if they're looking for a purpose/meaning/mission can destroy all of the bad Jasons and then unalive themselves.
>...So because this show is rooted in a science fiction concept where the multiverse exists, therefore it makes sense to also depict humans as if we're insects?
This is a pretty gross and sad mischaracterization. It's not depicting "humans" as insects. It's a human coming to understand the idea of identity death. In the military, soldiers are buzzed and uniformed and marched in unison to diminish the differences between each other. Dying to save two other people is like dying to save two more versions of oneself.
That's incorrect. He gives a statement at the police station casting suspicion on a Black kid.
> They're the grown babies who can't separate their own nostalgia from facts and logic.
Well, in fairness, their attachment is formative and emotional. For precisely those reasons, a different generation -- older or younger -- will offer a more sober, less biased assessment. A problem with technology-fueled spectacle is that the technology improves and the spectacle becomes grander. Many of the timeless movies you mentioned are period pieces, which naturally tend to hold up better.
On the whole, people who falsely romanticize their childhood are probably in a better place psychologically. It's utterly normal. We should want all parents to genuinely believe their children are special. That said, I was 12 when this movie came out. When I returned to school in the Fall, I was one of the few kids who had not seen it. Not surprisingly, I don't have a soft spot for it (except for the theme music).
>And then all the other Jasons jump them. They aren't necessarily suicidal. It's also likely the Jasons they encountered at the box had dealt with the angry Jasons.
You insist that this family must flee to another dimension because the dastardly Jasons will stop at nothing (even though they resigned themselves to allowing the family to disappear). The bottom line is that the chosen one never should have left. He's not motivated by any character or worldly logic and more likely a season 2. The possibility of Empathy Chicago with edible ice cream cups just sounds more exciting and wonderful.
>And no, we're not a hive-mind. We don't necessarily think like that at all.
This is a stolen base. We also don't have a magic box that effectively creates copies of ourselves.
His team gets their choice of the best scripts and directors, so I'd hope he's been in quality films. I've never found him to be all that impressive, but he's OK. In most of the movies on this list, he's a supporting actor. It's not until you get to IWTV where he's the lead (amusingly, he got second billing to the bigger star and vowed to never again take on the "bitch" role). He hasn't been as able to carry a movie like Washington or Cruise or DiCaprio. Which is fine, but it's weird he's considered a gigantic movie star, especially since his films have never been wildly successful at the box office.
>Many of them were elsewhere. They didn't necessarily know where Jason and Daniella and Charlie were going to go to be there. It's likely all the Jasons at the box had dealt with more antagonistic variants who had been removed. And what are they gunna do? Jump Jason in front of all the other Jasons and try to drag Charlie and Daniella off?
Given the motives you're suggesting, yes. You said earlier they were likely out of ampoules, so by your logic, such as it is, they should have attacked as they have little to lose and no other recourse.
>Oh yes, because committing suicide is just an easy decision to make.
You're not grasping the metaphysics. If I wake up and find there's an identical version of me (such that I do not know who the "original" is), it does not matter which copy lives or dies. If one crunches a cyanide tablet, my consciousness and identity still exist. This is precisely how so many humans far and wide cope with death, believing that they somehow live after they die because their spirit will continue on at a theme park. Insects can make for good communists -- completely willing to die for the colony -- because it's sacrificing for genetically identical organisms. They do not see differences between themselves and others, which fosters highly cooperative behavior.
If my goal were to conquer the universe, then I'd want many different versions of myself. If my goal were to be with a one-true love, then I would have already achieved it. Inasmuch as copies are divergent because of traumatic experiences, the wife and kid are unlikely to want to be with them; they've changed. The Jasons who were not so divergent should have been inlined to eliminate the other versions of himself. The Jason who prevailed is also more likely to have similarly minded allies compared to the ones who are off their rockers.
In fairness, the scene in the beginning shows but never says, which makes it rather delightful. Turturro shows the guns/equipment and sets up the meet, then he's apparently killed. I always thought it was great when Penn trades eyes with him at the funeral (it occurs to me now we might be miscommunicating as there's more than one funeral). I did not mean Jackie's funeral where Penn shows Harris his badge. It's the police officer's funeral, and then Penn's on the subway spilling his guts.
"Some of them let them out. They weren't all the Jasons there."
Uh-huh. So the most hard-core Jasons didn't even show up?
"And what should the other Jasons do?"
Like I said, unalive themselves or search for a world where the wife and kid have not made a decision.
As far as I can tell, he's much better looking than Adam Driver. He can occasionally look like he has these bug eyes, but he's an actor who tries to downplay his looks and nepo-baby connections. He'd love to play gloriously weird characters like Lou Bloom rather than blockbuster leading men. It's odd that in this show they decided to show him having an eight-pack. A leading prosecutor with a family who commutes from the suburbs has a near-perfect diet (in fairness, they show him doing cardio from swimming and running, but it's not sustainable).
And do you have a problem with television shows portraying people as braver than they are? More diabolical? Better looking? Wealthier? Holy fuck, an interracial marriage in the city of Chicago.
Poor baby.
