The argument wasn't about the fringe example of entering a public bathroom and finding a lack of toilet paper. The argument was about hoarding toilet paper during an emergency and questioning why you can't just use your own shower.
When she was promoted from writer to executive producer on The Office she wrote the character of "Danny Cordray" specifically to cast Timothy Oliphant, on whom she admitted she had a crush. She then wrote her character to see him and exclaim "fuck me" to him, and his character had to react and be taken aback. Her character made other sexual remarks about his character too.
"I don't like someone's opinions so their life should be ruined."
By your own logic I've decided that you should be cancelled. Please don't complain when you lose your job.
Why would a public toilet not have toilet paper?
Why would you be taking a shit somewhere with no sink?
> so Kamala appears to have a healthy weight.
Obesity is never healthy.
People pay to see movies?
It's actually anti-human propaganda. Everything the aliens do is perfect and harmonious and respectful of nature, and they have no diseases or irritable bowel syndrome or old people or infighting or murder or rape or voodoo or superstitions, and everything the humans do is cowardly and evil and greedy and short-sighted and revenge-driven and anti-family. They can fly a dozen lightyears in fantastical starships but they can't synthesize their own whale goo, and despite the whales being fully sentient telepathic creatures they laugh as they brutally hunt them to make cream for old peoples' faces. The Na'vi of course swim with the whales in oceans that never have silt, and empathize with them, share their pain, and sing sweet poetry to them as they take a genuine interest in the whales' rich family lives.
Jurors aren't asked, "Do you want to convict this criminal, but let him walk free as he tries to undo what you just decided?"
I watched the video. Again you're lying. At 3:46 he's discussing how to clear a revolver for a shot that doesn't require shooting the firearm. That isn't in question. As your 22 year of experience tell you, revolvers don't have magazines. Revolvers don't hold 10-30 rounds. Obviously it would be irrelevant to say you'd have to check all the rounds in a magazine when you're talking about a revolver.
I've treated you with nothing but respect until you started lying, despite you being disrespectful, and getting more and more hostile when you were called out. You need to calm down.
Again, it's prohibitively difficult to unload every single round in every magazine an actor is going to use for a scene, every single time he picks it up, and everyone else who handles a firearm in that scene. That's why there's an entire chain of custody and trust that ensures all firearms on a set are prop firearms. That's why there's an armorer. That's why live ammo cannot be brought onto the set. That's why the armorer's word is law. Just like there's a chain of custody for an aircraft to make sure it's safe to fly. You said yourself a pilot isn't certified to check the inner workings of an engine, despite everyone's lives depending on those inner workings. They hire certified professionals to do that.
Many times on set actors point prop guns at the camera. Many times they fire it. I'd wager there are ten thousand such shots in action movies. Probably more. Do you really think the actors on set of John Wick each unload every magazine and every round, check each one, and put it back in? It is not. Nor should it. Nor CAN it be. It's as prohibitive as requiring your pilot to check the torque specification of the bolts in the engines. That means there have to be rules for real firearms, and rules for cleared prop firearms, with professionals that clear them and enforce the safety rules.
>No they wouldn't. I've already explained this ad nauseam.
No, you didn't. You said "the armorer hands you a gun and it takes three seconds to check it." That's a lie. You're attempting to lie to people by claiming you're a cop for 22 years and depending that they don't think for five seconds about how a magazine operates. I pointed this out to you and you agreed. But now are back to pretending you didn't fuck up.
It doesn't take 3 seconds to check every round in a magazine. You're attempting to bully people into believing you. But I know how a gun operates.
The rules you propose would make it impossible for all recent action movies to have been made, as it's prohibitively difficult for every actor to check every round in every magazine every time they pick the prop gun up, every take. Anything less is criminally negligent under your rules.
>It's NOT a "prop gun." It was a real gun. If an animal handler brings a poorly trained beast on set, and it mauls an actor, was that a "prop tiger?"
If a professional tiger handler brings a trained tiger onto set and gives a safety lecture to actors, who have no experience with tigers, about how to successfully complete the shot in a safe manner, then that would be equivalent.
Do you understand the difference? Why are you lying about guns, lying about magazines, lying about how difficult your rules would be? Are you capable of reading? Are you senile? How old are you and how much have you had to drink today?
><b>AND HE'S FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES!!!</b>
That's not in dispute
>Your analogy is flawed. A better one would be: the pilot doesn't do the required preflight checklist himself, and takes a crew chief's word for it that it got done.
What? Crew chiefs don't do preflight checklists. Is this another tactic?
The most important thing in an airplane is that the engine is functioning properly. <b>Why is the pilot allowed to trust a qualified professional to do his job properly?</b>
Surely you can answer one question.
I prefer Alien's focus on tech and glamor shots of retro-futuristic spaceship panels. It's fun to imagine being in a ship like that, using CRT terminals and flipping satisfying-looking switches. And it has one of the coolest self-destruct sequences. Kind of like David Bowman killing Hal.
And yet if a man in her position did it, his life would be over by the end of the day, assuming the audience didn't rush the stage and lynch him right there.
Again, your rules would make every single action movie impossible. Every single actor would have to unload and reload every single round in every magazine on every prop gun on every take, the moment they pick it back up (as the first rule of gun safety says). And not just their own, but any prop guns that are pointed at them. Every actor would also have to be trained and competent to do this, on top of their normal job. Every single time.
You have no room in your system for the concept of prop guns and trained professionals. You have no concept of a chain of trust.
And you haven't answered how you don't propose similar rules for other parts of industry, where even MORE lives are on the line. How is it that you don't require an airline pilot to get out of the cockpit and check that the engine maintenance was performed correctly? Literally hundreds of people may die if it's wrong. It must be his legal responsibility to not trust another professional to do their job, and he must verify it himself. Every flight. Get out of the cockpit, check the engine. Everyone's lives depend on it. More than any actor ever did with a prop gun on the set of Die Hard. Why don't you hold accountable pilots who REFUSE to take safety into their own hands? Why do you allow them to trust other professionals whose job it is to keep everyone safe?
Even lefties hate it. Even racist lefties, similar to yourself. Bad writing. Narcissistic obvious self-insert main character. Not funny. Constantly racist and cruel writing. Smug self-entitled dialog for the main character. And it abuses well-liked existing IP for no reason. Warner Brothers took one look at it and rescinded their rights to use Scooby Doo--in a SCOOBY DOO REMAKE.
It has a 1.3/10 on IMDB, the lowest score of any show by far. Annoying Orange got 1.9. Fred got 1.7. Toddlers & Tiaras got 1.7. "Fox & Friends," which you'd think would be buffeted by a bunch of "racist right-wingers," is 3.1.
I am enjoying YouTubers ripping it apart though, and I've recently learned Mindy Kaling deserves everything she's getting: she seems like an insufferable narcissist and has admitted on Conan to sexually assaulting a subordinate and then threatening her assistants when they told her it wasn't okay. She laughed about the sexual assault and intimidation, and thinks the ethnicity of the victim makes it acceptable.
As a cop of 22 years you understand how a magazine operates in a firearm. Even if the first round is a blank, the bolt will cycle and the next round will be chambered. That second round may be live, and under your rules the actor is guilty of manslaughter if he or she hasn't checked that round. Ergo, every round must be unloaded from every magazine every time a prop firearm is picked up, every take in every scene--as the actor can't be sure about the rounds otherwise.
You're assuming that if the first round is a blank then they're all blanks, which under your system is criminally negligent.
What you're proposing would mean no more action movies. Requiring every actor to unload every round out of the prop magazine every single time they pick it up, then load it back in themselves? John Wick, Die Hard, impossible. And every actor would have to be trained how to do it too.
Are race car drivers forced to get out of their cars and check every lugnut after their crew changes their tires? Or airline pilots have to open the engine cowlings and manually check the torque of all the bolts inside?
Tell me, in the lobby scene in The Matrix, did every actor and stuntman unload every round from every magazine every time they picked up a prop gun? Because otherwise real rounds could've gotten in there and they'd commit manslaughter.
They'd get a big corporation to remake it, and the tone-deaf producers would: hire a bunch of woke writers that don't understand or care about the original; race/gender swap characters for free outrage marketing; make it some typical Hollywood writers' room criticism of fringe right-wing extremism; and completely fail to criticize the overarching, corrupting influence that global corporations have in modern America.
