  1. When Tropic Thunder came out actually it was around the beginning of outrage culture in earnest. I couldn't believe they got away with it at the time. But to be honest I sincerely doubt that movie could be made today without mass boycotts among other things. Just shows you how far we've fallen in the span of about a decade.

  2.  @gwenwalravens8030  Nobody goes to the movies anymore, anyway. Not like they did when Tropic Thunder came out anyway. The problem is anything deemed offensive isn't going through the pipeline to begin with nowadays. Major studios have decided this apparently, that's why you see a lot of "safe" stuff like that crap [Ghostbusters female version] that comes out and it bombs whereas they haven't been willing to do anything truly risky (unless you count an R-rated comic book movie like Deadpool being risky) for years now. Hollywood is stuck in a perpetual state of reboots it seems. Reboots on reboots on reboots. I dunno if we'll ever get back to that golden age of cinema. Seems like television has supplanted it at this point.

  3.  @gwenwalravens8030  When it comes to Marvel movies and Star Wars movies I think franchise fatigue is starting to set in. When you have a movie that gets a budget as large as Ghostbusters (the reboot) it is harder for the film to recoup enough money to be considered a success. I don't think they lost money, they just didn't make enough to consider it a success. But as franchise fatigue with these massive movie business models again as depicted by Marvel and Disney (and also the demographics of the audience and how people consume media today -- again, with streaming services more and more making theaters and movies, by extension, obsolete). You're not wrong, most of the stuff especially the stuff that's part of this reboot culture is uninspired garbage, but there's other reasons why the movie industry is in a state of crisis financially speaking and some of those things can't even be blamed on the product itself. Movie theater attendance gets worse and worse every single year.

  4. Wiz Khalifa's net worth is higher than Joe Rogan's, so if he wanted a gym you'd think he can just buy one, but IDK what either of their spending habits are like, that money could all be tied up in assets while Joe only spends money on protein bars bars and gym equipment.

  5. I low key hope Coronavirus goes away ASAP not just for the welfare of the world and all... mainly just because I really, REALLY want to see Donald Trump and Joe Biden debate each other. Oh my GOD the entertainment value is off the charts.

  6. Wasn't Snoop in the Crips? I've heard it both ways that he is a crip and yet some of the actual crips out there think he's fake. Point being I think you should probably know a thing or two about regular street fights if you're in a gang.

  7.  @silewis9396  Wouldn't be surprised actually if that's exactly what happened, considering how much of a combat sports historian or whatever Joe Rogan is... or I would assume he is anyway.

  8. Heroin. One of the best ways I've ever heard it described is. It's like a warm hug from your father when you do have it, but it's like a cold slap from your mother when you don't.

  9. I always get my political information from the lead singers of Black Flag... Jesus fucking Christ man, I agree with some of his views but other times I literally don't think he's getting his information from anywhere other than MSNBC, probably by dripfeed into his bloodstream.

  10. I do think being famous would actually kind of suck. Like being movie star famous or whatever. The more famous you are the worse it actually is to such an extent you learn you have to like start wearing disguises out and about and shit just to have some small chance at not being bothered. To have every little cough sneeze and fart micro-analyzed by celebrity obsessed culture and TMZ and networks just like it. Whose job it is to literally a) find you in public and b) film you. I can understand why they have other people literally do their shopping for them.

  11. I've seen people compare him to Otacon and basically it's about as accurate as there ever will be. No, he's not responsible for developing a nuclear-equipped giant robot with good intentions only to see it being used for evil then siding with Solid Snake to save the day. But he's responsible for creating something arguably even more scary than that, something that was developed for good intentions ostensibly (to prevent crime and terrorist attacks, etc.) only to find that it's being used more AGAINST the people than FOR them.

  12. Fentanyl was almost created by the Chinese as a weaponized drug to use against the west, especially considering a huge amount of it comes from there and the fact America's been dealing with an opiate crisis for the better part of 20 years now.

  13.  voitdive  It's being mass produced by China now, I don't give a damn who made it. I am not saying they invented it, I am saying they're currently making it right now arguably to undermine the moral fabric of America. One way or another, dollars to donuts I bet most of the fentanyl that is popping up in illegal street drugs came from China. I don't care who invented it, that's not what my point was. One random guy nobody cares about invented it (EDIT: Sorry I didn't know that, interesting and good to know). That being said, China's arguably using it as a weapon against us which it goes without saying despite the "peace" there is a conflict welling up there. What better way to keep America weaker than to break families apart by addiction and ultimately even death? China actually just included in a recent agreement with America that they'd begin cracking down on the production of the drug, it's part of this 90-day pact the US and China just agreed to to avoid an all out trade war. It was just one of the bullet points that China agreed to.

  14.  voitdive  Sorry, I do care who invented it. As much as I care about anyone who invented any important drug, I guess, even Heroin which I believe was Bayer (the company obviously lol, I don't know the name of the chemist himself in this case either) ... who originally had made it to treat tuberculosis and chronic coughing IIRC. Fentanyl to me is scary. I have no doubt that used properly it can be great, but I mean I wouldn't even put it in a pill form. The patch is good enough. When it comes to perfectly synthesized fentanyl literally a pin needle amount, A PIN NEEDLE, can kill someone with moderate to little tolerance. And maybe even seasoned junkies. But here I will agree with you as well -- what criminals and drug addicts do should not define what the creator of the technology's intent was to begin with. Take nuclear energy for example. Einstein developed that believing that the world could exist with unlimited clean energy basically forever and be independent from oil even one day potentially and they turn around and take the same technology and create the most lethal bomb that humankind has ever devised. Science is always playing this way.

  15. Well, when you consider we spend like 50% off what's our absolute war chest of money (US) on freaking tanks and bullets, I mean... why not give it back to communities who need it instead? A lot of backwards shit goes on in this country. What about the fact that like the "best" schools performance wise get more money and the worst schools get less? Also, what about the fact that schools regardless are encouraged to WASTE money or else they won't get more the next year? This country is just programmed to be wasteful, in a word.

  16. Meth is probably not too dissimilar from taking Adderall. Not exactly the same but Adderall is comprised of amphetamine salts. It's why so many kids in high school and college seek these drugs out to help them "cram" for tests and/or do long tasks like writing papers, etc. It makes you crave doing things, specifically productive things like work. Meth is inherently stronger and more "dirty" (being made in clandestine labs vs pharmaceutical laboratories like Adderall is) but still, similar enough. I would stick with Adderall, is the TL;DR version, if you do anything at all, to be clear. Meth's bad news.

  18. At this point I think Fentanyl has been weaponized by the Chinese, who are manufacturing a lot of the illegal fentanyl that's making it's way into powder drugs in America today. It's killing a lot of people, the only real question is whether you think it's being done with any level of intention by the Chinese or if they're just manufacturing medicine.

  19. Nobody can navigate opiates responsibly. Doctors themselves don't even understand the pharmacological nature of addiction they just prescribe what the pamphlets told them to prescribe. But opiates literally trigger something in your brain that essentially shuts down the production of "natural" happiness in the brain because you just bombarded it with a mega dose of serotonin so it figures it doesn't need to make it's own anymore, at least for a while. So someone who is addicted one of the first things their brain has to learn how to do is start making it's own serotonin again, this is why one of the #1 symptoms of opiate withdrawal is acute depression. Forget the physical aspect of things, that's surely part of it as well. It's not fun at all though.

  20.  @pjduff7577  3.5 grams of cocaine base value in New Jersey which is where I bought it would be $350. HOWEVER, drug dealers don't sell it that way, do they? They have this thing called "Eight balls" where rather than paying $10 per 0.1 grams for a total of $350, you instead pay $250. That essentially means you each get an extra gram for free. Splitting $350 worth of drugs 4-5 ways in this situation would net you about $70-80 worth of said drug each. NOT $20. You suck at math, you're an idiot, life is too hard to be so fucking stupid. End it all. BTW don't do drugs unless you use opiates. And forget the possibility of overdose, it won't happen to you. Promise! Wink wink. Fucking moron.

  21.  @pjduff7577  Overdose on 0.7 grams of coke? LOL OK I know for a fact I'm dealing with someone who has no idea what they're talking about now. "Watch out you might overdose on your more economical choice of splitting an eight ball with 4-5 friends!" It's cocaine dude, it's not heroin. The only reason you wouldn't rip the entire 0.7 line at once, if you had any idea what you're talking about, is because then you'd be out and 15 minutes later you're going to want more. Why? Because it's coke. As soon as you run out, you know in 15-20 minutes you re gonna begin the process of coming down. You'd wish you had spaced the lines out more economically so you could get a 4 hour coke session instead of a 30 minute one. "Watch out you might overdose!" lmfao OK queerbait Lastly, 3.5 grams between 4-5 people is what a high schooler's "coke night" might look like. People who can only afford to really do it properly if they buy in together, otherwise you're not even beginning to approach lethal doses of the drug until you start to call twice as much your daily personal amount. Like a quarter, the entire day, just for you. Or more. You can survive a LOT more coke by weight than you can with any other powder drug. I wouldn't recommend it, but the idea that a measly 0.7 would be enough to kill eve a virgin user is fucking moronic and you should really consider keeping your mouth shut if you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

  23. We've created a culture where if someone does or says anything that is even remotely deemed "taboo" or "offensive" that you can be outraged at it and because social media is where it is the person who made the slip can be unemployed as soon as that night, if you're loud and mad enough. We've also created this unwritten law that defines "offensive language" and the only problem with it is that that dictionary of unacceptable language and terminology/ideas is only growing, not getting smaller. This is something that directly threatens the comedian because the one thing that gave them legs to begin with, free speech, is slowly and systematically being shut down in it's own right.

  25. The thing about Chappelle's Show is it was instantly classic. INSTANTLY. It was like two seasons worth of Killing Em Softly and then you realize you're witnessing something that people will carry with them the rest of their lives. I don't know if I've ever seen anything before that or since where even watching live broadcasts of those shows when they were new, you realized this was something of a cultural significance that I personally had never seen before and I haven't seen it since... unless we're talking about the excellent string of Netflix specials Dave Chappelle put out. He has only gotten better with time, like good wine.

  26. The scariest thing to me besides how convincing Alex Jones can be in the midst of peddling some of the stuff he talks about is that he's not wrong, Edward VIII WAS the King of England until 1936. The official story and the one frankly that I believe is that he was in love with a woman who the royal family would NOT allow him to marry if he wanted to remain king so he decided to bounce and he gave the rule instead to his younger brother. This of course is Queen Elizabeth's father. He died young from cancer and this of course led Queen Elizabeth to having to become queen very, very early in her life. So getting back to what I was saying, Edward VIII WAS a Nazi sympathizer. To think what might have happened if he chose not to forfeit his crown for love, he may have quite literally given England to Adolf Hitler just in exchange for peace. This almost certainly would've given the W to the Nazis in WW2 before it even had a chance to begin in the first place.

  27. At what point do you tell Dan Crenshaw there's an entire spectrum of cannabis, from Sativa to Indica and all the hybrids in between. So if he had a sativa and felt it was too cerebral for him, he might like a nice indica instead to help him relax. Or vice versa. I used to think I was a sativa guy only to find out really I am more into hybrids and indicas.

  29. Runner's high is a very real thing but yeah you're not getting that unless you run every day and if you ever did do heroin (don't) you'd realize it's fucking moronic to say that it's AS good. No, that's like going to work an entire week and getting your like $400 or whatever and saying "That's as good as winning the lottery!" No, it's not bad, in fact it's probably better overall, but it's not gonna be as good as heroin. Ever. And that's the danger of the substance, it's truly better than sex to a fault and subsequently junkies don't really have sex like normal people. They do, but they don't. Their #1 primary motivation in life is getting more heroin.

  30. The conquistadors used to take their scimitars to native americans, men women and children, and make a game out of who could carve the cleanest slice through the victim's mid section. A vast majority of the native population died as a result.
    1
  31. Yes, really. I mean that's just one way they were killing Native American's but yeah they'd do that and the idea was to see who could basically cut through an entire person. Whether they did or not, naturally they usually died.

  32.  @cs-cg9wl  I am pretty sure it was a Master's in Business Administration. I do not know how good of a student she was nor do I know where she graduated from, but I mean that's kind of also part in parcel to my point as well. It might actually not be worth going to a crappy school at all, if you can't get into a decent one, it'll still cost you a fortune but you'll wind up like Saul Goodman for it having to resort to nothing other than creativity (read: criminality) to do anything with it at all. It's not like she had a Masters in Art History or anything.

  33.  @farhan007  Mechanical engineer is something you should be going to a specialized school for that. Anything with the word "Engineer" at the end of it is invariably going to be a better thing to invest your time in than any of the other routes you can take in school. But that's only a fraction of the various paths and routes you can take. Even majoring in Economics would be better than majoring in Business, but do they tell students that? No, why? Because it's a fucking scam. If you do go to college, major in something that is going to lead to a good entry level job. Also, be sure you can finish it because even racking up a semester's worth of tuition is going to sting you in the ass when and if you do drop out. Blah blah blah, TL;DR for the rest of it, I'm not going to argue with you. Liberal arts degrees are one of the examples of degrees that I think fall into the "Ha, stupid student, we got them right where we want them" type of degrees. If you wanna major in that, please get a full ride before doing so, as spending a penny towards that is spending too much as is. But your argument is "they seem smarter and more balanced after finishing the degree" .... yes because we know how well that puts food on the fucking table. You'd be better off staying at home and engaging in ponderous thought for free than going into a Liberal Arts program with this idea in your head like 50% of the people going to college right now currently have that "It'll be fine! I'm going to college, doing what I was told I needed to do to be successful!" and then they realize not all degrees are the same. Yes, if you're paying for an education, get something you can use. And to your credit, the one example you did mention happens to be one of the better fields. Also good are Computer Science, for instance, but that's not for everyone -- neither is mechanical engineering. No, it's far easier I think for the average person to go to school for Liberal Arts. Hence, my point that not everyone should be going to college, it's not just a waste of their time, it's a waste of money.

  34. I don't think Trump will be convicted, it'll pass thru the House but it'll be DOA in the Senate. If Trump loses 2020 (and I am afraid he won't unless Oprah runs suddenly or something, sadly, none of the current people running can beat him IMO) but refuses to leave, the military will be charged with removing him themselves.

  37. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were the OPPOSITE of disenfranchised. Angry, sure. I mean that argument can be had and has been had so many times now. I personally do not think Dylan would've done it if not for Eric, I think it was almost certainly Eric's idea. HOWEVER they kind of fueled one another, and it's been reported many times by survivors that during the shooting Eric was mostly stoic. Quiet. Meanwhile Dylan was hooping and hollering and taunting people apparently having the time of his life. Him being the one that was the more quiet of the two. I think both of them were depressed, but it wasn't like normal teenage depression. That was the perfect storm for teenage terrorism, who knows what would've happened if they never met each other.

  40.  @Patrick-cr7bq  No, they wanted him to lean into the racial humor even more. That's why he wanted to leave. He had no problem using the N-word and he still doesn't, he still utilizes it in his comedy and basically always has.

  41. ​ @jwilsoncalledmeaprettygirl8863  Well, yeah, they wouldn't have offered him that if they weren't expecting to recoup on their investment. They only signed him to that deal because at the time his DVD set was the best selling comedy DVD set in history. The $50 million for one season was UNHEARD OF at the time and even by today's standards that is a really high amount of money for a non-syndicated TV show. He wasn't comfortable with what they were going to have him do to EARN the money though. And yeah they'd end up making money on the product he created for the rest of time where he only got the $50 million once, it's just important to note that he was completely and totally OK with it until he started getting the feeling that they weren't laughing with him as much as AT him anymore.

  42.  @Ashley-ro4xz  That's basically it, yeah, that was just one example of things he was having to do that he wasn't comfortable with. It's like the more money they paid him, the less in control of his own autonomy and brand he felt he was.

  43. It's because they have very little rules against running open air markets where they're literally selling bats, one of the most disease-carrying animals in the world, to people to EAT. And they're doing so in open air markets where they're selling them right next to the poultry and the other foods as well. Big open air markets like that are where Coronavirus and many of the other unique airborne diseases they can contract are.

Either way though he should've been in PC if they knew there were rivals of his in the building. It's not like he's not one of the most high profile inmates in the facility. This makes him a target.

They were sitting on that allegation for years waiting for the right moment to open that can of worms. It's gonna be a mulligan, anyway, folks, this Coronavirus shit is probably here to stay sadly. All this on the heels of us learning where it REALLY came from (Chinese lab in Wuhan -- the wet market in question apparently didn't even sell bats, throwing the batshit theory no pun intended out the window).

At the end of the day though he did apologize for it :-/ and Pete Davidson's career is over as soon as SNL is over on a side note. RIP
