Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

Well uh, I believe Feminism is just equality for all genders and sexes. I think mister Dynamo is mistaking feminists for extreme left-wing advocates.
I mean, I'm a feminist.

I'm also a Christian, but that doesn't mean I have anything against homosexuals, nor would I condemn them. One of the main points of Christianity is no judgement. That's an extremely important aspect of it, honestly.

I think a lot of people with ideals get misconstrued by their worst members.

@POOHEAD189

Over a long enough timeline, everything human trends towards tribalism. Feminism has gotten there. So has a whole bunch of other shit -- I too am Christian, and I fully acknowledge that we're guilty of tribalism in spades (we even do it to one another via denominations). Politics is tribal.

Historically speaking, the only force that ever really beat back tribalism, was nationalism. Damn. If only there were some kind of nationalist uprising we could summon up.

What is the hardest thing you've ever done?

amputation!

And here I thought I was the only one on the guild. Welcome, fellow cyborg!

9mm bullet vs Lightsaber

I dunno if it's cut and dry like that. The math makes assumptions -- velocity of lightsaber = 0, temperature of lightsaber is constant, angle of bullet through lightsaber = 90*, velocity of bullet is constant, velocity vector disruption = 0 (after melting and exploding, no less), even heating, etc. 9mm bullets get deflected by regular old glass, like, on the regular -- are we taking elasticity of the blade into account? What about the bullet's drag coefficient, which is altered as the bullet deforms and amplified (possibly significantly) by the plasma of the blade?

IOW, what we really need is a demonstration. Preferably by an actual proficient force user. Too many variables are ignored here -- I think it's entirely possible that a lightsaber can block 9mm bullets (well not entirely possible, I guess, but.... shut up). Of course it begs the same question as blocking arrows with a sword -- if you're so fast you can do that, why not just get out of the damn way?

The Young RedPilled Alpha Male Right-Libertarian's Totally Realistic expectation of a GF in 2017

"I am just a shy hot Asian girl studying engineering and wanted nothing but a guy who cares for me. But he tricked me into porn and I cried a lot. Now only a Rick and Morty marathon can make me forget the pain of being girl #374 in GIRLS DO PORNTM of GIRLZ DOPORN.COM! I just want to know a guy with whom I can talk about le science and occasionaly fuck me in the ass. I wish there was a guy who would do this. Make sure that you donate to girl #374 on the GIRLD DO PORN website to support me. They tricked me into two more porn videos that are also on GIRLS DO PRON, but I am too ashamed to link it P.S. I'm stuck on Dark Souls, be my guide? "

Totally misguided, Peter Capaldi is hot!

@Penny

Agreed. I mean I'm straight, but I'm not that straight. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

The next Doctor Who is apparently going to be a woman! I have some whinny male angst to savor in the comments section!

@Penny

Remember the whiny female angst when they made him an old white guy instead of a british sex toy?

It is great to see so many more characters who aren't vanilla white guy, whether they always pull it off or not.

@Penny

see that's the thing I hate (almost). When I choose to interpret this in the most offensive way possible, that's the thing I hate.

I suspect that what you mean is, it's nice that more than just white people have a chance to be hollywood stars now. TOTES AGREE! That's awesome!

But if I were to assume all the worst possible things about that sentence, it reads like "Weeeeelll he couldn't really act, but hey, at least he wasn't white, so 8/10!" and that would be horseshit.

Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

Yeah I could never imagine a film doing the opposite.

@Dynamo Frokane

Question: if notorious white male, M. Night Shayamalan, casts an Indian actor for an originally Japanese character, is that........ I'm trying to think of a parallel for "white washing" that don't sound pejorative, but I can't do it. But.... yeah.

MY LARGER POINT BEING THOUGH, WHO EFFING CARES?

A movie adaptation is not meant to be a line-for-line reproduction of the source material, or what was the goddamn point of a movie adaptation? You, yes, you, go be a director and cast whoever you want for whatever you want. If you make a good movie I'll pay you money. Deal?
