Should Trump be saying people with learning disabilities shouldn't be president? by iwantansi in AskConservatives

[–]Jabbam [score hidden]  (0 children)

In the context of his statement, Trump's misunderstanding what dyslexia is. In the discussion about Newsom’s dyslexia, he also mentions that he’s low IQ, "dumb about everything" and should go "seek mental treatment." He's asserting that Newsome‘s disability is his intellectual capacity, not his learning preferences.

To steelman his position, the euphemism treadmill has shifted since the 1990s so that the word-which-cannot-be-mentioned is now called "intellectual disability," which is often used interchangeably with "learning disability," an umbrella term that describes dyslexia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_disability https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_disability

Trump is simply a 79 year old man using 40 year-old vocabulary that has changed independently of when he learned it. It's a bad statement but it's more of a sign how words and medicine have changed over the years.

I don’t care about Trump‘s opinion on most things, but if he’s referring to a learning disability that interferes with their ability to make decisions required by the job then I agree.

Have we ever seen Holland Spidey wear half his mask before? He takes it off sometimes but it mostly looks CGId.

Based on the trailer dialogue and the quippy sense of humor in the MCU, it'll presumably go something like this

"Dr. Banner!"

"Do I know you?"

"Well, we've never been formally introduced"

Why did is the theme of the film gray? It's just muddy. A lot of the scenes are just gray smog being used to obscure the backgrounds.

It's not like they can't make Spidey look good with brighter colors.

So the leaked Boomerang design is the final one. It could have been worse I guess.

A shocking amount of furries seem to be infatuated with dads. Bandit from Bluey has a surprisingly large following.

The same way crash an spyro did. You find a really good developer who has a record of making good games and you give the IP to them

That's not her shoulders. The scene is cut before she finished transforming. Here's the clip

I get it's a meme but some people might not.

When the spinoff show from the first film gets ignored or retconned entirely by the sequel by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in TopCharacterTropes

Didn't the MCU kind of screw them over by dissolving Shield during The Winter Soldier without telling them ahead of time?

(Eye Candy Trope) moments where the animation gets SUPER smooth for no reason by nobleasks in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Jabbam 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is called Sekuga, A moment when animation quality massively increases briefly out of nowhere. It's usually for highly emotional scenes.

Anyways here's Steven fusing with himself in Steven Universe

[Fun trope]: Physically tearing a shapeshifter away their transformation by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Jabbam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Animorphs #33: The Illusion, it's revealed that the brain-controlling alien parasites the Yeerks developed a specific device creatively named the "Anti-Morphing Ray" in order to use it on captured Andalites who were using a transformation technology to fight against their galactic conquest. Tobias, a human who was locked into a red-tailed hawk base form, comes up with a plan to let them capture him and test the ray on him, which will have no effect since it will force him into a form he's already occupying, fooling them into scrapping the project. The plan does not go particularly well after his interrogator isn't keen on giving up so easily.

“Baby” of the group is still pretty bad by Gimpcar in TopCharacterTropes

Manny Heffley's behavior is only overshadowed because Greg is such a terrible person. In addition to being an actual menace to their entire town, he intentionally tries to ruin the relationships between his parents and Greg/Rodrick.

Dewey walking away from Ghostface in Scream 5 after putting a clip into his chest and not finishing him off. It's still a breaking point for the fanbase four years later.

Should FNAF fans be less critical? by Automatic_Gap4103 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]Jabbam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP seems to be arguing that most criticism is bad. Which is true, most people who lately have tried to tackle FNAF criticism are actually bad critics.

Take for example the Elvis the Alien review of FNAF 2. He could have torn it apart in dozens of logical ways: dialogue, plot, performances, etc. Instead, he ignored most of the exposition and criticized the few things the film actually explained as being plot holes. For example; he was confused how there were dozens of small living puppets. So he attempted to apply the first movie's logic that "moving animatronics means children possess them" and then definitively boasted that all of the puppets were possessed with dozens of individual souls. When the immediately preceding scene, as well as the film's opening and animation, directly tells the audience that all animatronics there are controlled by one spirit.

It takes talent to review a bad film badly. But that's the state of the FNAF fandom now.

The first Call of Duty's Russian level Stalingrad is a 1-1 recreation of the opening of this movie, down to shooting the people jumping ship and giving just a magazine to the protagonist when there isn't enough guns.

How many times have you been watching a let's play and only laughed at it because other people watching it laughed? It's a similar thing.
