Does its job well. I would be pretty goddamn intimidated if I was facing someone wearing this in battle.

All of these make sense to me except Ragnar. Did he really have ADHD energy?

Well played buddy.

If we had had that attitude when fascism was on the rise in Europe we would never have gotten Einstein or Tesla or half of our best and brightest.

We became so much better by taking in anti-facist refugees in the past, it’s funny and sad to see these edgy comments when the situation is reversed. I’m proud we weren’t so stupid in our history, we benefited greatly from taking them.

The Americans that would flee a Trump administration aren’t the ones destroying the planet and acting like spoiled children.

Lol. Opportunity to be on the other side of the brain drain effect but refuse it. Fine, some other continent will reap the benefits of a bunch of smart expats.

I despise the liberals that voted for Hillary/Biden during the primaries more than the right just doing what conservatives always do. I never expected anything other than the current hate and ignorance from the right - but to see so many people who claimed to be on the left fall in line behind whoever the DNC/media coronated, and talking about Bernie like he was unrealistic or crazy, killed whatever hope I had for this country.

“I enjoy your boobs.”

Rule34 has always been one of my favorite things about the internet.

That’s a high quality gif

To be fair the GOP would happily fund it too

It’s been satisfying watching my configuration.yaml file shrink over the years as more and more things get handled by the UI.

violence is not the same as sex

You’re right, it’s way worse. And it’s disturbing that we’re culturally encouraged to find fun in violence but sex needs to be cordoned off to a containment genre and excised from mainstream art. I’m not saying it needs to be in every action movie - but its been obvious for a while they’re going out of their way to avoid it even in places where it would make sense or be fun.

As a fan of Greek mythology - if you don’t think sex can drive a plot you need to read more stories.

I just think they really need to justify it more than normally do.

Why? Why can’t they just have it for fun like any other type of gratuitous scene in a movie? I agree it’s not usually done well, but that doesn’t mean it can’t or shouldn’t be done.

I’m not saying I want a movie with non-stop sex, that would obviously just be porn. I’m saying the “it doesn’t progress the plot” complaint about sex in movies is bullshit when those same people watch other movies that are full of gratuitous shit that doesn’t move the plot (violence, action, contrived drama).

Movies have been all but stripped of sexuality other than clumsy attempts at pandering to lgbt people. I think some of it is an overcorrection from Weinstein and Me-Too, some of it is just America’s puritan cultural hangups that have always been there, and some of it is the effect of Gen-Z growing up with an abundance of porn and now they can’t associate sex/nudity on a screen as art (or even just fun).

I’m fine with asexuals and representation. But currently it feels like 99% of media is catering to either asexuals or homosexuals.

And I bring up violence to point out the double standard. When it comes to nudity people scrutinize if it’s relevant to the plot - but don’t tend to do that with violence or clunky moral preaching.

The fact that you only equate sex and nudity to porn shows the problem. Sex and nudity can be fun, dramatic, scary, or funny depending on the context. It wouldn’t be “competing” with porn.

I can’t suspend my disbelief when media pretends sexuality just doesn’t exist or isn’t relevant.

I don’t want porn. I want art to stop awkwardly excluding a major part of life.

“Everyone is beautiful and no one is horny.” It’s like movies these days are all set in this weird Twilight Zone world where sexuality just isn’t a thing. I find this far creepier than the gratuitous sex scenes of the 80s.
