Rey’s marksmanship is a perfect example of the sexist bullshit that is the Mary Sue argument. Think how common it is in movies (not just Star Wars) that a guy picks up a gun for the first time and his aim and ability is never questioned. Yet they go out of their way to show that Rey isn’t perfect with a blaster but people call it out anyway.

The Luke comparisons are legitimate. Not because he’s a Gary Stu (although seriously guys, if anyone’s a heroic author avatar, maybe it’s the character that shares George’s name?), but because the truth is no one watches Star Wars and questions Luke’s ability with a blaster, like the thought never even occurs. The fact Rey is held to a higher level of scrutiny is just proof of the sexist skepticism of the capabilities of female characters and women in general.

The only post worth reading on this page.

They’re little red kiosks at supermarkets or drugstores where you can rent a movie or game for a couple bucks a day (it charges your card every day until you return it). They’re usually pretty convenient and carry Blu-Rays, too.

I honestly am surprised they still exist.

why? the prices is unbeatable. and they are generally super convenient. if i want to rent a blu-ray of a film i want to see, but don’t want to purchase, it is half the prices of renting it on a streaming service. if the prices of streaming rentals ever matches redbox, then i will stop redboxing.

I tried to Redbox it for the campaign after hearing how short it was. I got a piece of paper with a Xerox of the disc printed on it. Couldn’t find a way to report it stolen, so I reported it as an unplayable disc, put the piece of paper back in the sleeve and returned it to the kiosk, and…got a credit for a free rental rather than a refund.

If they try to blame and charge me for the stolen disc I’m gonna be fucking pissed.

Man that sucks. Have you tried contacting them through their website they have been pretty responsive with refunding me in the past. Online chat support.

If you’re into graphic design or video editing, sure. I am not.

I’m into graphic design (part of how I make a living), video editing (hobby) and music production (both) and I just don’t get along with Macs.

Ditto. Would never touch a Mac outside of goofy employers who have bought into the “Macs are for artists!” line.

Anyway, back to banned members.

Or band members.

did you make that photo on your macintosh?

Current Events. No debates!

its funny, my wife just texted me a pic of our daughter after preschool day, she was still wearing the ‘costume’ from their thanksgiving party. nothing much, but a handmade headband that was supposed to be a turkey, but the turkey ‘head’ on the front looked like cock and balls at first glance.

Young children absolutely are not offended by this plane thing, teenagers are gonna snicker, but they aren’t being exposed to something they haven’t seen before.

is it poor taste for a professional to do? yeah, but it also isn’t worth getting worked up over.

I enjoyed his clumsy dodge. A politician would be impressed.

What?

I also enjoyed that he thinks I am incapable of posting differently as a mod on one site and as a regular member on another site.

So you’re saying you’re disingenuous and/or inauthentic? 😉

You should be trying to clarify how your previous statements weren’t personal attacks, instead you seem to just make more statements that are hard to interpret.
