@LukeAlmighty Usually I'm good at figuring out when there's a typo, or bad grammar, and can decipher the message and ignore the mistakes. But I wasn't sure if "fress" was some cycling specific jargon I wasn't aware of.
@LukeAlmighty I'm not sure what a "fress" is, maybe that's a typo on your part. But if you mean the shirts and pants cyclists wear, then they're not made to look good. They're made to be aerodynamic and light. Which usually entails being skin tight, and made from some shitty synthetic fiber, which, as a side effect, just looks hella gay.
So to answer the question, sports gear are intentionally made to look the way they do, but looking gay is an unfortunate coincidence and not the actual intention.

I mean, we're talking about a 2000 year old faith, that got written down decades after Jesus, and then got drastically edited by priests hundreds of years later. Of course it's all wrong. And that's not even considering the translation and transcribing errors.
@mushroom_soup Is he unaware that Christianity says witchcraft/wizardry comes from Satan? So realistically, that would mean that Jesus was either the son of God or straight up a disciple of Satan. If Jesus was God, he would have forgiven Judas anyway, cause all loving and what not. But if Jesus was a satanic wizard, then betraying him would have protected people from evil.
Point is, even if technically 50/50 is shitty odds, Judas still did the right thing.

Visually it would definitely be a great movie. All of his work focuses on sci-fi and alien stuff. It's right up his alley. The question is whether he'd get the story, characters and political world building right.

You know what... I didn't expect it. I thought it would be just another straight white male 20 year old antifa thug.
@hfaust @anemone
I'm conflicted. Blomkamp has made good movies. Not one has matched District 9 so far, but he's been ok.
On the other hand, considering today's political context, the amount of pressure that is gonna be on this remake, to turn it into an exercise of scoring political points... it's gonna be insane. I don't see how this would be allowed to be just a good modern adaptation of the novel.
@icedquinn I was curious more about what the initials stand for.
@sun You just made me realize something. Reducing piracy did nothing to improve the quality of entertainment media.
There's been less piracy in games (thanks to Valve and GoG), movies and TV series (thanks to Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Disney+, etc.), and music (thanks to iTunes and other music streaming), and yet the quality of entertainment has dropped more and more.
Anyone trying to argue that piracy reduces the revenue for the people involved in these productions, and thus leaves them with less money with which to fund good future projects and harming the quality of entertainment, has been debunked.
If anything, there might be a better argument to be made for the reverse. The threat of piracy is more likely to force producers to make good shit, because people are more likely to want to spend money and reward people who make good shit, even if they could get it for free.

>I personally have a stake in wanting child abuse to end
That's a good position to take. No issue there. But the reality is, your discussions here aren't gonna affect real life. At all.
Take your point on the distinction between predators and pedophiles, and how to focus resources.
By the word "pedophile" most people do include 100% of the people who predate on minors. That's included in their definition of the word. So when they say "focus on pedophiles" they already include 100% of the predators too. So your point, while maybe true (the hell do I know), it's completely pointless. Nobody is "supporting the arrest of only 10%" of predators.
In reality you're arguing with no-one over nothing. You're being uselessly pedantic, and that's coming from someone who can be autistically pedantic about word use too.
@Suiseiseki @get @SuperDicq
It makes you look like you have a personal stake in the discussion. I just ignore those topics.
