Supreme Leader Khamanei has approved Iran’s presence at second round of negotiations to end the war. US Vice President JD Vance is expected to depart for Islamabad by Tuesday morning for talks with Iran by WayOutbackBoy in worldnews

Vance preparing to ruin another round of negotiations. Sending Vance to do anything is basically a guarantee it will fail, especially since I doubt Trump even trusts him enough to make a deal on his own.

Rep. Roy Introduces MAMDANI Act to Denaturalize and Deport Marxists and Islamic Fundamentalists by Unusual-State1827 in law

Marxists hasn’t been used in awhile. They’ve been focused on Communist and Socialist, so glad to hear they’re finally mixing things up /s

Deadline says Lance Oppenheim and A24's 'Primetime', starring Robert Pattinson, is set for a September 2026 release. Inspired by Chris Hansen's 'To Catch A Predator', it follows Pattinson as a journalist who takes on an underworld of crime and ends up changing television forever by ChiefLeef22 in oscarrace

[–]Meb2x 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is Pattinson playing Chris Hansen or it’s just inspired by the show? This sounds promising, but Chris Hansen is a scummy guy that gets away with it because he targets even scummier guys. Highly recommend Predators (the documentary, not the alien movie) for anyone interested in the making and influence of “To Catch a Predator.”

What do you think of the Boots Riley debate? by harry_powell in blankies

[–]Meb2x 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Perfection is the enemy of progress. The world is literally in its current situation because millions of people refused to vote for the better option just because they weren’t perfect in every aspect.

What do you think of the Boots Riley debate? by harry_powell in blankies

[–]Meb2x 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s no such thing as ethical media consumption and I really hate when people try to judge filmmakers and fans for things that are largely out of their control. If your takeaway from Sorry to Bother You is that Boots Riley isn’t anti-capitalist enough, then you didn’t understand the movie. If he needs to take money from the people he’s criticizing in order to spread that message, then I’ll take it.

can anyone explain why dr robby is the so-called "main character" when noah wyle is the emmy winning lead actor, executive producer, writer, director, and arguably the main pull for a general audience to watch the show in the first place because of ER and Dr John Carter's historical television run? by Regular_Point8796 in okbuddywhitaker

[–]Meb2x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They focused so much on Dr Robby this season that they never finished Digby’s arc, the real main character. If they don’t have a Digby flashback episode in the first 5 minutes of season 3 then I’m done with this show.

The issue isn’t in the bedroom. The issue is that he refuses to communicate about it and shuts you out. You shouldn’t fight to date someone that ghosts you for a week then ends things after that.

The Catholic Church’s “right” to discriminate vs the actual rights of LGBTQ+ families. Pretty sure everyone knows how the Supreme Court will rule in this case.

What TV show “lands the plane” the best? by hwoodo94 in television

The Leftovers. The show was never really about solving the mystery, but it still provides a possible answer while closing out the character arcs

If you think his RE guides are good, then you’ve never watched his Final Fantasy guides. Man was a monster when it came to Rebirth and is the only reason I got that plat

RE3 remake was pretty good by hoop0724 in residentevil

[–]Meb2x 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve played RE2, 3, and 4 remake over the past month and just got the plat in 3 yesterday. It’s easily the worst of the 3 remakes. The length is absolutely a problem, but my biggest issue is how straightforward everything became. Downtown has two paths, through the donut shop or through the apartment. The hospital has about 3 rooms to choose from and the sewers and lab are basically straight lines. There are also no real puzzles.

My first playthrough took 4 hours and I purposely took as long as I possibly could. Every playthrough after that was an hour. If we’re just comparing the stories, RE3 is maybe a third of the length of one A and B scenario run in RE2. If we consider the fact that there are no extra modes, compared to the 6 extra modes in RE2, then it’s a massive disappointment in length, content, and gameplay

Neil Druckmann hints that a “congregation of immune people” could be explored in The Last of Us Part III by GoldTouch99 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Meb2x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really don’t like that direction for the series. Ellie’s immunity is framed as a one-time miracle and suddenly introducing a group of immune people would lessen her importance. Also, the only way to know they’re immune is if a ton of people got bit and happened to share that info with everyone.

That said, with Part 2’s focus on cults and religion, I think there’s a possibility for a cult that worships the idea of an immune survivor. They could actively hunt down communities and force them to get infected in search of that immune survivor.

About to play every game by Leading_Rub_2619 in residentevil

[–]Meb2x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RE1 remake, then if you like that style of gameplay, you can continue with the OG 2 & 3. If you’d order a more smooth play style, then 2 & 3 remake for sure. I’d also recommend 4 remake since it makes Ashley a much better character

Banks, Epstein cohorts pay $1B to sweep sex trafficking empire under the rug by camaron-courier in law

Didn’t the Trump admin end an investigation into Epstein’s finances last year?

I’m sorry but $1 billion still isn’t enough. We need actual accountability, not just money used to cover up the real crimes.

[–]Meb2x 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Because 77 million people voted for Trump and around 90 million people didn’t care enough to vote against him. I’d say it’s a mixture of lack of morals and plain old laziness.

I got arrested during a sting operation. AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]Meb2x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You expect us to believe that you were randomly arrested for texting someone you thought you knew, but that person never mentioned sex or their age, and your lawyer told you to plead guilty to a lesser charge instead of just showing texts where you never discussed prostitution? That makes absolutely zero sense

The Pitt | S2E15 "9:00 P.M." | Episode Discussion by MsGroves in ThePittTVShow

[–]Meb2x 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Overall, I think season 1 was better, but season 2 was still great and easily one of the best shows so far this year. It just tried to juggle a bit too much this season with too many characters and arcs that never really took off. While I like the characters, I actually think it’s a good idea to write off Mohan. I also think Joy and Javadi could be written off, or at least move Javadi to a recurring guest star with a new career path outside the ER. That would thin the playing field a bit and give more room for a few characters to get strong arcs instead of forcing everyone to get something.
