@nilsdoen: . You go around telling people to fall in line or be quiet, telling them what their opinions should be, and yet still somehow you think you have the moral high ground. The lack of self-awareness is just incredible. Someone else calling you out? Just call them crazy. Problem solved. Typical spoiled child mentality. Center of the universe.
@ticktockman1979: “The same walkback you had to do when you misquoted him in the first place?” No, his getting it wrong while being the world authority on Avatar 2, is not the same as me simply mis-remembering what he said. But at least you tried, and that's what matters.
“It’s still going to end up at worst the third-highest grossing movie of all time.” I'm just glad one of us doesn't mind stating predicted futures as present facts.
@ticktockman1979: I think that's a very optimistic projection. Especially to describe with the word “easily”. -EDIT- Never doubt James Cameron, after the first walk-back, you mean.
@ticktockman1979: You're right, what he actually said was, “[Avatar 2] will need to be the third or fourth highest-grossing film in history.” Doesn't affect my point though.
Hello investors. In 2022 we thought we'd try failing for a bit, and now we've realised that wasn't good. So now we're going to switch to succeeding instead, because we've figured out that succeeding is better, and as we've reached this particular arbitrary point in the earth's orbit around the sun, as denoted in the Gregorian calendar by January 1st, we are now finally able to close an imaginary door, on a catastrophic mess we've given you no reason to believe is concluded. Love, W.B. p.s. Have you been working out?
@nilsdoen: You probably think that was a pretty right-side-of-history type comment to make, and it really looks like —probably for that reason— you didn't stop for a second to think about your words, because after all you're right, right? Why think about what you're saying?
1. I'm left-of-center. I'm literally on the left. It was you who mentioned “the left”, not me. I'm also mixed-race, btw, in case you decide ethnicity is relevant next.
2. If you can't see the people who thirst for the “overthrow of the patriarcy” (whatever that is) by any means necessary, it's only because you don't want to look. They are a minority, overrepresented in university faculty, journalism, and HR departments. They see anything they do to the “oppressors” as fighting for justice. Comedians, university professors, and workers in major corporations, across the western world, are saying they're afraid to voice any independent thoughts lest they lose their careers like James Damore and countless others have. Media in general that features SJW content including the overthrow or replacement of men, consistently rates higher than user scores of that same media by a greater margin than any other common denominator you could care to think of. Metacritic and IMDb will show you that quite clearly. So don't act like it's impossible that they're reviewing horror movies.
Here's a quote by former professor at Evergreen State College, Washington, regarding a hostile takeover by leftist radicals in 2017: “Ultimately, protestors —50 students that I had never met— showed up at my classroom, demanded that I either be fired or resign. I told them I wouldn't, and riots broke out at the college. Faculty and administrators were kidnapped. I was hunted, car-to-car, on campus. The police were told to stand down by the college president, and we were left to fend for ourselves, with student patrols roving the campus with weapons.” It was a story that never made it to mainstream media, despite the university settling with him out-of-court later for hundreds of thousands of dollars and enrollment rates plummeting to <2,000 in the next few years. It was shortly after a planned day of all white-skinned students being banned from the campus.
3. Perhaps you don't realise, but you just came up to me, unprovoked and out of nowhere and essentially told me to change my opinion or be quiet. When Nazis do that, it's evil. But when you do it, it's cause you're a good guy, right? Maybe it's you who should step away. Imagine that.
I've been very interested to see what these can do. The 5800X3D was incredible, and these ones are built into an otherwise much more powerful chip and the technology has had a couple years to mature. The 5800X3D was first-gen tech that outperformed a lot of 7000 series CPUs.
