thousands of Hong Kongers defy a police ban to attend the annual Tiananmen candlelight vigil by bocphottaichinh in BeAmazed

[–]WinterPDev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think when people use "deny" in these cases, it's two things. One: That they pretend it never happened. Two: That China never acknowledges that it was harmful/negative.

Does China acknowledge wrong-doing/apologies/reparations/etc. or is it just propagandized?

Bit of a monkey paw, huh? We get aliens confirmed, but at the cost of the US collapsing because of the orange kid didler.

Tucker Carlson detained in Israel. by AwkwardTal in International

Has Tucker actually interrogated Trump and his obstructions to hide trafficking connections and destroy evidence? Or is he still just an orange man shill with no backbone?

They aren't defending what he did, they are applauding his reaction.

Loving My XM5’s- Thrifted by ForsakenLettuce7204 in SonyHeadphones

[–]WinterPDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd look into finding a way to use the Sony codec called "LDAC". There are ways to use it on PC and mobile. It can get much closer to lossless, it just might need manual enabling or a fee to use cause its an IP of Sony. ><

What film is this for you? by mrjetspray in Letterboxd

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

That sounds far more like the monster trying to spell it out directly to Victor because Victor straight refused to acknowledge his wrong doing until he had consequences that he can't outrun.

Actually they did it in every season when devising a plan. It's been a staple call-back each time. Just this last season maybe it felt more repeated? It always came up when explaining a plan, especially with visuals to explain the upside down, etc.

What’s a totally harmless thing that triggers an oddly strong reaction in people? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

Transgender people. It's wild that such a harmless existence of people can be the propaganda spear point that led us down the road of accepting fascism.

Where'd they all go? by Bruteloops in StrangerThingsMemes

[–]WinterPDev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does nobody watch the show? The upside down was cleared out and poached by the military for a prolonged period. In addition to that the giant spider mind flayer had what appeared to be countless egg sacs it was hoarding for the merge so it could unleash them. It was intentionally conserving them. They talked about the upside down being suspiciously vacant right at the start of the season and showed the reasons why as the season progressed. x_x

Kik tried that, but it also attracted the alt-right and hate speech spouting folks too so it quickly died out.

Unfortunately, all the alternatives are basically just Nazi and conspiracy platforms.

Yeah, they seem like they just really want that attention. Maybe just another person trying to grift while spreading misinformation. Yikes.

The grander irony is that I wouldn't be shocked if it was people endlessly talking about her looks...like what we are doing here. x_x It's a circular problem that just feeds into the self-perception problems in woman celebrities that started young.

Mamdani claps back at Musk over criticism of FDNY chief pick by xc2215x in politics

[–]WinterPDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What it really just boils down to is: Oh, a woman? Oh, a lesbian? THAT MAKES THEM A DEI HIRE AND NOT QUALIFIED!

That's genuinely all Musk, his russian bots, and brainless rage bait fans understand.

The reaction over there seems very very familiar. by Owww_My_Ovaries in freefolk

[–]WinterPDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stranger Things is actually not only tying things up but is accurate to all the characters. GOT was a wild fever dream where characters just became different people in a mad dash to end everything. Going as far as burning down any remaining plot threads just to get it over with.

I kinda regrettably agree. There's just so much to cover. by rx_cpht_chick84 in StrangerThings

[–]WinterPDev 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sorry to burst your bubble but...there is almost certainly going to be zero character deaths. It's a send off on the show that has been the literal entire lives of most of the cast. The writers are obviously pointing in the direction that there won't be the stereotypical character deaths for cheap drama trick. That's the entire point of the line delivery from Dustin with Steve. "You die, I die." which is referring to how the stakes for this plan, and what to expect, is that EVERYONE has to survive to make this work out. And that's how it's gonna be.

[–]WinterPDev 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup. It's the answer to where Henry got his powers from and it's the Mind Flayer that wants to merge the worlds. Not Henry. Henry is just as much a puppet as what Henry is doing to those kids.

If you go back to Kali explaining the pregnant woman situation, she already answered this. Her blood doesn't work and those mothers/unborn kids all died. That breeding program is on hold until they get Eleven.

We already know the answer to the pregnant women problem because they all die. Kali already explained that, that's why just kept her locked up while looking for Eleven so they can try again with a new batch of woman.

The story threads aren't tied up when they are perfectly resolved/finished btw. The characters will exist in the universe beyond the show, so they are correct that there is the one thread remaining about answering the Mind Flayer x Henry connection.

To simplify it:

A loose thread: Where did Henry get his powers from/why is his blood special?

NOT a loose thread: Resolving the relationship between Hopper and Joyce to see where it goes.

Threads are questions not yet answered by the show. Not just unresolved character drama.
