Time to quit smoking.

No its humor and star wars should never have humor. Remember how serious Han Solo was all the time?

To be fair, most of the complaints about the humor revolve around the humor not being funny. That’s different than complaining about there being humor.

Why are people taking out 100,000 dollars in debt to go to this school?

Why are people taking out 100,000 dollars in debt to go to any school?

A degree. Also, secondarily, an experience.

A shitty experience.

Did you not find yourself, discover new horizons, and make lifelong friends?

No, I downed sleeping pills and contemplated driving into Lake Erie.

So you’ve learned Lake Michigan is better? Or just closer?

This strikes me as a particularly poor attempt at humor.

It is an exceptionally poor attempt at humor, but in his defense it is less non-sensical if you’re an avid reader of the invisible thread.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I bet that thread is a lot of fun today.

Surprisingly it isn’t active right this second. There were some especially harsh comments directed at me a day or two ago and that’s when Lake Michigan came up. Not sure what it has to do with this conversation, though, other than being one of the Great Lakes.

I thought it was your schtick joking about going into various Great Lakes since you’ve done it two days in a row now. I don’t remember harsh comments directed at you. Sorry if it come across badly.

No, you didn’t make harsh comments at me.

Honestly, no point badgering DE over it, considering he isn’t going to watch and pretty much never talks about it. Lot less annoying than if he was posting everyday about how Rian Johnson shat on his childhood and murdered Luke’s characterization and ate a baby and wore a lobster sweater once and how it’s clear that Mark Hamill hates him for that or whatever the shit.

Did that stuff happen in the movie?

If it did then I need to go grab a BD copy and give it a watch.

No, sorry for the confusion, Rian was the one who ate a baby and wore a lobster sweater.

Is the footage included in the behind-the-scenes featurettes?

This post deeply offends me.

You’re wrong.

And by the way, everyone reading this knows I’m right.

You seem to be misunderstanding the concept here. I, meaning me (mfm), am right. Everybody, meaning all you people, know that I’m right.

You’re the least right person I’ve ever known.

Well, that’s your opinion, and since it’s not my opinion, that means it’s wrong.

This is probably true at the younger levels.

High school and college students are still developing.

except that most college student have developed to a point of adulthood(at least legally speaking).

The brain isn’t done developing until age 25.

I didn’t say otherwise.

You implied otherwise.

no I did not.

He said that the brain is still developing in college, and you said they’ve, legally speaking, developed to adulthood as though that contradicted what he said.

EDIT: I honestly don’t even know what you’re talking about at this point. Your argument has been lost on me the whole discussion, actually.

ok.

I don’t think anyone else understood your argument either.

I agree. It actually made me sick. I’d go to an all-female college just so I can be sure that Jeebus won’t be there.

As I said before I don’t really understand why my son (the one I don’t have) would need to go to an all-female school.

Why would your daughter need to an all-male school?

What the fuck?

I don’t know where you’ve gotten the idea that Duracell has seen TLJ.

He said that it was beyond perfection.

I still do. Could be wrong.

I’m 100% certain it was sarcasm. He hates what they did with the characters so he definitely wouldn’t like it if he did see it.

I was being sarcastic indeed. In fact, I was making fun of people like fmalover, who act like TLJ was handed down from God Themself.

TLJ remains on my anti-watchlist and will remain there, along with The Dark Knight Rises, the Snyderman films, and any other movies which present unappealing “alternative interpretations” of beloved characters.

You have your own kind of ignorant thinking

Good.

TV’s Frink said:

DuracellEnergizer said:

unappealing “alternate interpretations” of beloved characters.

Lol.

Not as LOL-worthy as hating a director after having seen a single one of his films, I’d wager.

Assuming you’re talking about David Lynch, one film is more than zero.

I thought it was two but it turns out he didn’t do Naked Lunch. :p

I believe you have to watch at least four of a filmmaker’s films before drawing a conclusion on his work as a whole, but that’s just me.

I believe you have to watch a single movie before drawing a conclusion on that movie, but that’s just me.

I haven’t drawn any conclusion on TLJ beyond that the story holds no appeal for me. If you want to go ahead and interpret that as meaning “TLJ is shit, Rian Johnson’s an asshole, etc.”, by all means do so, but it isn’t an accurate representation of my thoughts at all.

You haven’t seen the movie and yet you’re bitching at how a “beloved character was interpreted.”

So, sure, why not.

I don’t need to see Man of Steel to know that Jonathan Kent tells Clark that it’s alright to let people die if it’s in Clark’s best interests. That version of Jonathan is wholly unlike the Jonathan Kent I’ve come to know in both the comics, prior movies, and TV shows, the Jonathan who taught Clark to do his very best to help humanity. That bit of characterization, combined with other elements of the movie I’ve been exposed to through trailers/screencaps/reviews/etc., have left me with the impression that MOS isn’t a movie I want to see. Does that mean I believe it’s automatically a bad film? No. But it’s not a film that I, as a Superman fan, influenced by Superman stories with an opposing aesthetic and message, have any interest in seeing.

Hey asshole, knock it off. Man of Steel is my favorite movie and if you don’t like it, then you just need to get silenced by force in my opinion.

My new favorite argument.

It’s always been my favorite!

I’m guessing that the vast majority of students in segregated schools chose them for one of two reasons. One being that Mom or Dad went to this prestigious boys or girls school and now the sons and daughters are going to those respective schools too (most of these private schools have legacies). The second being for religious reasons like avoiding temptations. The latter is a worse reason than the first in my opinion.

It has been explained to you.

It’s still a terrible explanation. I’m sure a man going to a male-college because Mom neglected him would also be called out as a really weird and irrational decision that (in your mind) wouldn’t justify the existence of all-male colleges.

What a great comparison!

It’s a fair comparison because both are irrational.

Neglected son and raped daughter are both totally acting irrational…

If they wanted to go to gender-segregated schools for those reasons, I’d say yes. You’re saying that one is and the other isn’t.

I’m saying that I can understand why one would think that way if one were raped, irrational or not.

Sure I get it too, I’m just saying that it’d be an irrational decision. I don’t see why it’s problematic to say that.

I said a rape would be one reason for someone to want to go to an all-female college. You called it a terrible explanation.

But it seems we’re talking in circles now, so I’m happy to drop it.

Oh, I thought it was a terrible explanation for why all-female colleges aren’t sexist but all-male colleges are, especially since it’s safe to say that it is absolutely not one of the reasons why there are segregated schools in the first place. I wasn’t really responding to you specifically. I actually think we’re more or less on the same page on this, I just am more mean in the way I talk about things 😉

EDIT: Also, to be fair I don’t even think you said that it one was sexist while the other wasn’t. I believe only yhx implied that.

Why must all-male colleges be sexist?

They’re not.

Seriously mfm, instead of saying there is no reason, you should ask someone who had a reason. It’s arrogant to assume that because you’re not aware of a reason that there can’t be one.

I don’t think there are any good reasons. Looking back on high school, some of my favorite acquaintances were girls and I wouldn’t have meant them if I went to a boys’ school. I get why boarding schools are segregated, because of their dormitories, but that’s just a logistics reason.

I’m sure someone on the web probably wrote a blog or whatnot why they went, and Google can help you find it.

Why would I want to dedicate my time to placing such information in my brain cells?
