Califan007 The Constipated

Actually I disagree...we need to understand the other side. And by and large, we do understand them completely, and all too well.

I never have. Ever. I never have, ever. I never have. Ever.

I'm disappointed but not outraged or thinking he's getting special treatment: 1) I literally have no idea if reducing bonds and giving brief extensions is normal or not, so I have no clue whether or not this should be seen as Trump getting special treatment 2) I have no idea how they came up with a reduced figure of $175 Million, but doubting it's arbitrary 3) I have no idea if this is a figure Trump can come up with easily within 10 days But, dammit, I had my popcorn ready lol...

Completely agree with the part in bold. The movie starts with the ridiculous premise that bouncers are famous... ...and ends with a climatic fight scene featuring: - a car exploding in mid-air - a stuffed polar bear - someone throwing a spear, and; - this visual: I don't think the word "believable" should ever be used in connection to the original Road House lol...

I think I've come to appreciate that aspect more now, than when I was actually watching it lol...it's memorable as hell for a bunch of different reasons, not all of them good.

This part seriously bothered me: "This month, NBC reported that, for seven months, Meta had hosted ads for a deepnude app. The app boasted about its ability to “undress” people, using a picture of Jenna Ortega from when she was 16 years old." I get that with the insane speed of AI development and every single platform trying to one-up each other to avoid getting left behind in a crowded marketplace, it's gonna take awhile for laws to catch up, but there should already be a way for social media outlets to monitor the ads they allow on their platforms. I saw that the two teens who did the deep fakes of their classmates was the first case of its kind to lead to arrests. I'm curious as to what laws were used to bring charges and what the teens did to get them on the radar of law enforcement...were the arrests made under a new law, or under existing laws that are now being used for **** like this (I'm not curious enough to go look, though lol). I'm all for the arrests, but I've also been all for the arrest of people who hack and leak nude photos of celebrities (or of anyone, actually). Child (p-word) definitely includes fakes, thankfully, but I think only if the fake can reasonably pass for a real image. I used to go to this store where people could sell their handmade items--the stuff in this store tended to be far more avant-garde than things like handmade pot holders lol...anyway, one time I looked at some books at that store, and one had a bunch of hand-drawn images in them (very well done), black and white pen illustrations of bondage and other sexual stuff. And in a few books some of the illustrations featured kids--nude--in sexual situations with adults. My assumption at the time was since it's hand-drawn I guess it's legal.

You have a Word document with MAGA talking points that you just copy and paste into your posts, don't you...

In case you guys forgot about the GoFundMe effort...

Road House remake was...good enough. Fight scenes were a million times better, but most still lacked something, not sure what. Logic was more sound (not saying much there lol). The love story--what there was of it--was more believable. Gyllenhaal's Dalton was good, I enjoyed it...I definitely got the impression why he should be feared. There were enough scenes from the original that were mirrored in the remake that I felt the lineage and connection between the two movies well enough. But it still lacked that certain engagement and charm that full-blown cheese can bring lol...and there were pretty much zero memorable lines in the movie. Nobody's gonna be quoting the remake in 30 years like people quote the original now. As someone said earlier, having McGregor say the "I ****ed guys like you in prison" would have fit his character perfectly, but I assume that in today's age jokes about rape are avoided at all costs. And there was no cool best friend like Sam Elliot's character, though to be fair nobody can duplicate anything Elliot ever does in any movie, ever lol. I didn't like one over the other, but thought the first one was more engaging and the remake was far better made.

I'm watching it now...so far they have removed all the cheese, which for all its faults is what gave the original whatever charm it had. So far, it's technically a better movie but not as engaging as the original...and like you said, no ridiculous-but-memorable lines lol...that was one of the things I liked about the original.

I thought it did?..."No one ever wins a fight" was in the original and also in the trailer for the remake (although everything in trailers doesn't always make it into the movie).

Huh? What are you commenting on? If you were commenting on Cohen's video, he basically said the same thing you did lol... You: "You voted for the extremists whether you wanted a moderate GOPer or something else. Just don't vote for the GOP because they let the extremists run things." Cohen: "When you cast your ballots in November, remember there's the Democrats, and then there's Marjorie Taylor Greene...and there's nothing in between."

And more...

Oh, ****...this one just came out 3 days ago lol:

Some extra commentary on the announced retirement...

OK, I gotta watch the remake now lol 👍...

I will give you both of those lol...

How long did her previous trials last?... And how much is "enough" for someone who was sexually assaulted and then publicly smeared for years by the man who assaulted her, and continues to do so? I can't even slightly imagine what that would feel like. She went from winning $5 million to winning $83 million in mere months. Plus, whatever money she gets will most likely go to her family as well, especially when she's no longer with us...that just adds another motivation.

Dalton pushed a stuffed polar bear on a guy...then another guy threw a spear at Dalton right after that...nowhere in my mind would I have expected anyone, anywhere, to think a fight scene using spears and stuffed polar bears as weapons during the climactic fight scene(!!) would be seen as anything other than laughable lol...

Translation: "****, he's right." lol...

This apparently was uploaded to YouTube yesterday...it covers a lot of the same stuff I mentioned, plus a ton of other stuff lol...

Ooooh, good point lol...could net E. Jean Carroll another $50 Mil as well.

It speaks volumes to where we used to be...a peaceful transfer of power portrayed in a genuinely wholesome image (like you said). I may have to use that photo on Twitter lol...

"This is going to annoy Trump so expect another Truth Social rant." I may be in the minority, but causing Trump to post another Truth Social rant isn't much of a motivator for me to do something lol...
