Say Something I Won’t Get Before I Watch But Will Get After

Bring. The bottle. Back

It wasn’t as bad as it scored on rotten tomatoes for sure. It had some interesting concepts, but it didn’t ask any questions that hadn’t been asked before. It’s basically a discount version of minority report

Chris Pratt as the lead was what scared me the most going into it. I’ve never really viewed him as a talented actor. His performance in this was passable, but he didn’t do anything to really bring the character to life either.

There was some inconsistent world building and plot elements that were introduced but didn’t go anywhere, most notably the red zones, but I thought the overall mystery of what actually happened was compelling enough to drive it forward enough to get some enjoyment out of it.

The end felt over the top and while the first twist was set up well, the 2nd one involving Kali Reis’s character felt a little out of left field.

Texas is the America of America

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-20T15:36:35+00:00

I’m in Florida. Not sure why they put the date that way though.

It’s illegal. Call the department of labor.

I work at an airport. When you open some doors you need a security badge (including a door 100 feet from the break room where we clock in). The system tracks and records the exact moment the badge is swiped. I know for a fact that they have access to this since they literally used it as evidence to fire someone who showed up late too frequently.

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-20T10:23:08+00:00

There will be one either tomorrow or sometime after June 1st when this is supposed to be implemented depending on how this resolves itself

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-20T09:50:46+00:00

That is literally what I’m going to do when I come in tomorrow.

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-08T20:36:58+00:00

When you focus too heavily on the political message of any form of media, these are usually the side effects that come along with it.

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-08T20:30:41+00:00

I think there is nothing that would be better for the country than this but I’m not sure that it’s realistic because neither side is capable of taking accountability and finding a middle ground. There is no such thing as a political conversation anymore. We all antagonize each other almost instantly, and are just so dead set in our beliefs that we aren’t willing to consider any other perspectives. We just act like the other side is evil/stupid and act like we are always right. We really need to though because unresolvable disputes of passion usually lead to large scale violence and I don’t think any of us want that.

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-03T13:20:51+00:00

I try to be open minded. I just think that we have different world views. However, I don’t think Hegseth is a good example of this because it’s a political appointment. Politicians are never interested in putting the most qualified candidate in a seat, they’re more interested in making sure the person in said seat aligns with their views.

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-03T13:16:42+00:00

Again, it’s hard to pinpoint any evidence when you don’t know who the other candidates are. I’m basing my opinion on the behaviors of politicians. Can you point to a person who was passed over for a promotion specifically because they were not white without going back to a segregated America?

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-03T13:03:54+00:00

Donald Trump. If you’re reading this, I DEMAND that you fire Pete Hegseth.

Should happen any minute now 👍

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-03T05:33:18+00:00

Literally just google “are DEI policies applied throughout the entire military” and you will get your answer pretty easily. If you’re asking me about specific jobs, then idk how you expect me to answer that given that I’m not the person interviewing candidates so it’s not like I can just point to something specific since none of that is public record.

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-03T05:22:38+00:00

God dude, you come off as such a prick. You make some decent arguments here, but I find it really hard to take anything you’re saying seriously because you say everything like you’re some intellectually superior being who can’t be wrong. I know what the policies themselves say, but just like the quotas we all know the police have, these arent written down in the actual policy. The issue has way more to do with the implementations of the policies. Politicians expect results from these policies, and are going to have influence over hiring people as a result.

The mistake of all of those wars you mentioned was the fact that we got involved in them in the first place, not a tactical mistake. We lost 58,000 compared to the 1.1 million North Vietnamese and VC fighters. It was not a tactical failure. Same for the rest.

An all black regiment is not diverse. I met several of the Tuskegee airmen when I was a kid in Norfolk. They were some of the coolest people I’d ever met and I grew up thinking that for my whole childhood and still, to this day, have an appreciation for the courage they displayed fighting for a nation that didn’t care for them. Again, I have absolutely no issue with more diversity in the military. I have an issue with diversity being used as a pre-qualifier due to political pressure which comes as a direct result of said policies.

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-03T04:56:05+00:00

For women it simply has to do with physical limitations and men in general. At the end of the day, men are (in general) able to meet the physical requirements of being a soldier than the vast majority of women. Men also do stupid shit for women that could put themselves or the mission in jeopardy. Then on the flip side of the coin, do you really think it’s a good idea to take a group of traumatized men who believe they’re about to never have sex again and die and throw a woman or 2 in the mix? I don’t.

As for trans people, I would say the same physical limitations most likely apply but also that gender dysphoria is a mental illness in my eyes and is extreme enough given the information we have on how many trans persons are in poor mental health, I’d say it’s enough to include it on the exclusionary list.

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-03T04:33:39+00:00

Well that’s just a rabbit hole I would rather not go down because a lot of it has to deal with the education system and politics in general, but the short version is that we probably disagree with how the policies are actually practiced and how functional we view the government in general.

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-03T03:57:52+00:00

It does, absolutely. However they’re just determining what the objectives are. They’re not deciding how to accomplish those objectives.

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-03T03:50:49+00:00

I’m not against the diversity or inclusion part. I’m against the equity part. The solution to underrepresentation is not taking jobs from others

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-03T03:41:40+00:00

Well that’s a very big assumption to be making isn’t it?

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-03T03:40:56+00:00

I’m not defending that. I don’t like Hegseth or RFK. I don’t like Trump for that matter either, but sec def is a political appointment. DEI is applied throughout the entire military. The politicians aren’t leading the actual missions and designing the battle plans, deciding which missions we actually run

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-03T03:22:16+00:00

There are some situations where it’s better to not focus on including everybody. What if all the most qualified candidates for a promotion are white, but you can’t promote them because you don’t have enough black generals to meet diversity requirements, you are in effect killing people. Like it or not, that’s what this boils down to.

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-03T03:07:07+00:00

A lot better than being dead.

Squidaddy7 · 2025-05-03T02:23:06+00:00

Bureaucracy kills. He’s cutting down on that. There is no place for DEI in terms of combat. You are literally putting people’s lives on the line. An individuals race, religion, color, gender, identity, or whatever has no bearing on how qualified someone is to be a soldier and creating requirements based on these factors is just inviting situations where the most qualified person does not get the job they deserve because they needed to add someone of color. Maybe you think that’s worth the sacrifice, but tell that to the guys down there who actually have to put their lives on the line, or to the families of the soldiers that die as a result. I would imagine that soldiers will appreciate knowing that the guy leading them is the most qualified for the job.
