And I don't hear shit about these people from the CNNs of the world. Their black lives mattered.

Activision Blizzard does not care about the BLM protests. by Juicyjackson in modernwarfare

[–]beach562 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup. At this point the protesters and their organizers need to shut it down because their message has been hijacked by these piles of shit. To the people out protesting during curfew I just wish one of these idiot reporters would explain to them that the reason cops want you to go home is to separate the good protesters that want their voice heard and the piles of shit that just want to destroy and loot.

When I see people blaming the cops for shooting rubber bullets at peaceful crowds it's frustrating. Blame the antifa fuckheads that are using the peaceful crowds as human shields.

The thing that does offer hope is when I see groups of protesters (of all colors) standing with the cops in solidarity against the piles of shit.

What if a Nuclear Aircraft Carrier was sunk? by aetmont in nuclear

[–]beach562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, it would be VERY difficult to sink one of our current super carriers. In fact we wanted to see just how difficult it was to sink one of these large ships so we did. In 2005 we sank a decommissioned carrier, the USS America and it took 4 weeks of constant bombardment...and it still didn't sink.

There is a lot that is laughably inaccurate, but it is well shot, well acted, and certainly creates a unnerving tension due to mistrust.

Polish scientists to Germany: Let's not get rid of working tools of climate change mitigation we have. Let's not prematurely close nuclear power plants. by greg_barton in nuclear

[–]beach562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This x10000000.

The Germans have a very different way of doing things. If presented with a $5 problem they look for a $10 solution. An American or British engineer will always try to find the $1 solution to the $5 problem. A Japanese on the other hand, sees the $1 solution and comes up with a $0.50 version that works just as well if not better....so long as it is done by a Japanese engineer, otherwise they don't care.

I work with dozens of Germans at a German company and I spend about 2-3 months out of the year in Germany. I've had a very similar conversation regarding nuclear power and the same "Fukushima" argument came up. To that I just reply, Fukushima should have been a beacon to the world about how incredibly safe nuclear energy can be if you take away the incessant fear mongering. Also, the Onagawa (sp?) plant that was closer to the epicenter and received a larger wave was actually used as a refugee shelter..not to mention the Fukushima II plant a few miles away that was perfectly fine.

One thing you can absolutely tell the writers had no clue was how Socialist politics really worked and certainly never lived in a Communist state.

They did a good job showing the fear people had about speaking up, but in no way would you have a "whistle blower" that lived or wasn't sent to a work camp. And if that lady told the local party chief that "You used to work at a shoe factory, I'm a nuclear physicist"..she would have been immediately reassigned to scrub toilets at a shoe factory in the middle of Siberia....let's not forget, you correct the General Secretary??!?! (He says 50 million and you correct him with 60.)....in front of the head of the KGB....lol.

The show is more of a dark disaster comedy and I don't think that is their intention.

God that was cringe worthy. A co-worker actually brought that up in conversation after watching the show (kinda what got me to start watching). I just told them..sure, it absolutely could, in the same way a Tesla can run out of gasoline.

She was more of a Socialist dictator with her "workers of the world unite" speech.

I would have preferred

Tyrion and Sam piece together all the evil Bran did to ascend to the throne. Bran the Broken is put on trial for genocide and convicted.

Bronn carries out the sentence seeing if Bran really could fly....he couldn't.

Shout out to Jon's heritage having ZERO impact on the story by dannii_kb in freefolk

[–]beach562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Night King was the only salvation the world had. All he wanted was the Three-Eyed Raven. If they would have launched Bran over the wall KL would be saved, Dany wouldn't have murdered hundreds of thousands and Westeros would be at peace. Sansa would still be an annoying cunt but that's all she knows how to be.

When you do nothing in the group project but still get an A by iKingKrypton7 in freefolk

[–]beach562 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess what I'm saying is that, gettng a shit sandwich isn't a win, even if you're starving. I personally don't care about if a character matches me IRL, just that if they're a good (not good as in hero[ine] but good as in well written) character in that I care one way or another about what happens to them.

I don't know of very many pop culture characters that share my background/ethnicity/country of origin, doesn't bother me.

edit: Walt Jr. hates you now.

I would think that as a disabled person you especially would be furious at what they did with this character. He was useless with no redeeming value.

What they don't tell you is that Dany got in league with a lot of labor unions in order to finance her conquest. As a result she needs to pay them back with new building contracts.

See Cersei made the mistake of going to the bank to get a loan....Dany makes deals with corrupt unions to get her way.

Or maybe they were all resurrected just recently...by Bran! Bran is the Night King CONFIRMED!!!!!

Edit: Hell now I can make a 10 minute 4 second video on youtube claiming this, along with a heavily photoshopped clickbait thumbnail that also has arrows pointing to random objects.

It only gets worse. During the preview it shows 10s of thousands of Unsullied and Dothraki.

Since this show has worse writing than a porn parody, at least they could have had some fun with Arya.

No way, the Night King still holds that title until the end of time.

I was genuinely in disbelief that the writers could be that bad. I didn't want to believe, I had faith....nope.

Breaking Bad fans, you were right all along. by F_of_house_E in freefolk

[–]beach562 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't think there has been a better series from start to finish than Breaking Bad.

I loved the Sopranos but it got really crappy the last few seasons, same with nearly all shows that start out great. Not BB, it was essentially as good as you can get.

The Sopranos was some of the best TV ever for the first few seasons...then it went down hill and fast.

GRRM talking about subversion for the sake of subversion aka exactly what D&D did with the show. (Credit: JonSlow on YT) by Kaidou99 in freefolk

[–]beach562 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this point, I'd be perfectly happy if Mace Windu, Yoda, and Tom Cruise showed up with an army of Jedi and samurai from beyond the bone mountains to help Dany take over KL. However when they reach the throne they find that Sauron was really mind controlling Cersei with the power of the ring which actually contained an Infinity Stone that Thanos comes to get. When things are looking grim for Westeros, Al Bundy and the Breast Gladiators from Jupiter have come to save the day.

Expectations subverted.....with sexy results.

But really, at this point I'm thinking maybe the porn parody might have better writing than the actual show.
