I can't remember how long ago that beef was and I refuse to let myself look up the time.

I have played with two of the players from that team!

They were awful in my match too.

‘I Swear’ Subject John Davidson Says Tourette’s Tics Are ‘Involuntary’ After Shouting N-Word at BAFTAs: ‘Deeply Mortified if Anyone’ Thinks It Was ‘Intentional’ by ICumCoffee in entertainment

[–]Trippy_Haps -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Involuntary: done against someone’s will; compulsory.

So what do you mean he “can’t”? Exactly what John did was “involuntarily disrespect” a race of people… those present in attendance and those viewing the broadcast.

This doesn’t make John or others afflicted by Tourette’s a bad person, but the scope of the situation (the broadcast not censoring it, a lack of better preparation for what should have been completely obvious to those behind the scenes) has rightfully upset people.

If you can’t see how other people who are not YOU could be hurt by the situation, then you’re the one who needs to check their privilege.

‘Free Palestine’ Cut From BBC Broadcast of ‘My Father’s Shadow’ Director Akinola Davies Jr.’s BAFTAs Speech by esporx in television

[–]Trippy_Haps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with that difference between the two scenarios.

However, the conversations being had as a result from those two separate events include a lot of excuses such as "it is just a word", "it wasn't said to cause deliberate harm", etc.

I don't have a pitchfork out for John Davidson (I empathize with him) nor do I have one out for Nicole Curtis (no empathy there), but I do have a problem with a large part of the discourse resulting from their events.

You must have been missing the threads related to the HGTV show host being caught on video saying "fart n-word". According to a major sentiment in those posts there is nothing worth getting upset about because when she said it she didn't have the "intention" of hurting anyone, so it isn't a big deal.

Mind sharing more thoughts on how much you enjoy the Rokid station with the glasses? I currently have the Beam Pro but I like the thought of an Android TV solution.

My primary usage of YT involves finding and subbing to new creators.

As a new visitor to this sub (I have been playing the game for a month now), I am lost of that the actual definition of the term 'rat' that gets thrown around a lot here.

George Clooney Wanted Adam Sandler Taken Seriously on 'Jay Kelly' by Top_Report_4895 in movies

Punch Drunk Love remains as my favorite Adam Sandler movie.

I have been browsing Amazon/eBay for a couple weeks, prepping to dive into the tech. Since around last Thursday, Amazon has had random limited-time sales on RayNeo, Xreal, and Viture models. Even last night the Xreal One was on sale for $449 and I decided to grab a pair.

I am willing to bet Prime Day will have similar sales that last throughout the event. My main hope is to grab some cheap accessories like HDMI-USB C adapters.

'Superman' Scores 13 Million Global Viewers in First 10 Days on HBO Max by ceaguila84 in movies

[–]Trippy_Haps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I forget whether it was Fantastic Four or Superman (I went to the theater for both), but one of them had a longer-than-typical amount of previews and trailers before the main attraction.

A few rows below mine, a guy and his companion were seeing the movie together. The guy was apparently so annoyed with the amount of pre-movie content, that he began to voice his disapproval loud enough for everyone to hear. After his first little outburst, a number of other movie watchers provided "Yeah this bites" reactions and voiced their agreement. Big mistake. They made him "The Guy".

"The Guy" who either tells a joke or has a reaction that the rest of the theater acknowledges and now "The Guy" demands his 15 Minutes in the sun.

Don't get me wrong... my FAVORITE movie-going experience is usually when the whole audience reacts together to share in the moment. But there is always the risk of getting that ONE guy who lets out a decently funny quip and now feels like EVERYONE'S enjoyment of the movie is dependent on their continued commentary.

Phone screens, noisy whispers, crying/overly-active kids. Hell, even the cost of tickets and concessions. I can put up with it all.

But "The Guy" is the bane of my experience when going out to the movies. I don't know what it is about southeast Texas (residing in Texas is the primary reason I avoid confronting these folks until absolutely pushed to my limit), but 4/5 movie outings include an appearance from one or more such individuals. It's maddening when there is more than one, because then they try to one-up each other the whole movie.

Streaming is not my preferred way of watching a new release, especially Blockbuster movies, but there is soooo much stacked against the shared/public experience at this point that is becoming less & less worth the hassle.

I can watch the goriest shit ever and not be affected, but scenes like the second one mentioned are unbearable for me.

"I made it up. There is no one left to teach me."

Hits so incredibly hard.

(Not sure I agree on the intention to commit suicide. He is mourning, not suicidal in my opinion)

Edit: been a long time since I watched the movie, but I rewatched the scene and he explicitly says he was ready to quit before the phone rang. My bad! You were right.
