What I don't get, is that if the article was as slanderous as the facebook post claimed, why not sue for slander?

It's probably worth noting that the actual people involved in the story aren't denying that it's Nazi symbolism, just upset it's being reported.

Why is it the left always makes up some symbolism that needs some serious reach involving racism or some dumb shit, and then retroactively applies them to the subject, and spread it around acting like they just read through a revealing diary.

It's not so much this as it is the tendency for the alt-right to embrace innocuous imagery and then deliberately flaunt it, feigning ignorance when they're called out on it. And yes, feigning ignorance is a deliberate part of the plan.

That's not really the case here though. There's no claim it's not Neo-Nazi imagery. They're going straight to the attack.

why Rey can use the force with no training,

Because it's the Force, not a power the Jedi own exclusively. The movie explains that.

why she and Kylo joined forces halfway through the movie

Because Rey felt that she could turn Kylo to the light side and their interests were aligned at that point. There is also a Force connection between them that is established but is not neccessary to explain, at least not in the middle section of a trilogy. The movie explains all of that too.

who Snoke was.

The Supreme Leader of the First Order, and an obvious analog to the Emperor who was likewise never explained beyond the master/servant relationship that he had with Vader. Kylo's central conflict is with himself and the Force and desire to live up to what he sees as the potential he has as Darth Vader's grandson. Snoke stands in the way of that and is not central to the plot.

And more than 80% of them will be turned away because they do NOT have legitimate asylum claims.

But that's meaaaan

It's legal to apply regardless of whether they're turned away. That's not subverting immigration law.

do you guys think it's safe to assume that the address the stuff was being sent to is the person ordering it?

No. It's more likely than not a third party.

To clarify, they're the ones ordering, but not the ones buying. They'll order from an eBay or Amazon store, the one placing the order will pay the fraudulent store who uses stolen data to ship the item using stolen credit card info. They'll keep the money they got from the one placing the order and use the stolen card to make the payment.

That happened to me once on Best Buy's website. Someone had ordered a $2000 laptop under my account (to be delivered to an address that according to Google Earth didn't actually exist), but they used their own credit card to pay for it, so...I don't really know what the motivation was.

It likely wasn't their credit card.

zenimax owns bethesda and they are not publicly traded, rather they are fully privately held.

Yeah, I got a Google result and didn't delve into it. There's still incentive to have an independent board of directors though, especially since some holding companies have equity in Bethesda.

Going "these guys don't even like games!" is such a lame and weak criticsm against a board of directors.

This. Companies are required to have an independent board of directors to be listed on the stock exchange, meaning the majority of the board has no vested interest in the company outside of being on the board. It's general oversight of a company's general business practices rather than managing day-to-day operations.

Ha ha, okay. The movie studio that owns half of Hollywood, and a third of television media, had to give in because three newspapers weren't going to give them awards.

If you really believe that, I got some beautiful oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you. Real cheap, too.

Yeah, not even a basic understanding of the facts of the story as presented. Again the ban wasn't over reviews, it was over negative press coverage of Disney that was not retracted.

Look at Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, or Les Moonves and tell me that you honestly think that a newspaper would value access to press screenings of movies over the bigger story of a powerful studio buying/threatening their way into good reviews. That's what's not plausible.

All this "alt righties are just triggered about SJWs" defense around TLJ pisses me off. That's all a distraction. It was a shitty movie because it was a shitty movie. Had nothing to do with social statements or whatnot.

Maybe, but then you invariably get this:

Its pretty clear the anti-white male angle theyre going with in Star Wars.

The good guys are now black, asian, latino, female, and the bad guys are mostly pale angry white men screaming their lines. Its just more evidence of Kathleen Kennedys feminazism.

I'm more than willing to concede to anyone who has taken a more scientific approach, but I'd spot check Rotten Tomatoes while TLJ was in theaters and a good 30% of reviews was exactly like that very post.

That's code for 'stop giving us bad reviews, and you can come back.'

The first clue that you're completely wrong is that the ban wasn't over reviews at all. Your second clue is that other critics were voluntarily boycotting Disney press screeners and disqualifying Disney from year-end critic awards until the ban was lifted. Someone had leverage here, but it wasn't Disney.

You know whos not going any invites to the pre releases for the next movie? Anyone who gave TLJ a bad review lol.

The critic from the New Yorker has given negative reviews across the board for the Star Wars reboots and still seems to get invited to critic screenings. The San Diego Reader critic only liked Rogue One and seems to get his invitations as well. Ditto the Globe and Mail critic, who only liked Solo.

See the LA Times article linked above to see what really happens when a film company takes action against a newspaper for editorial decisions.

What seems fake about this anyway?

The premise.

The fact that the only two news outlets doing stories on it are two UK tabloids, both of which are known for publishing articles of questionable veracity (and yes other outlets are reporting it, but they're just rehashing what the two UK tabloids are reporting without further verification and research.)

The story about the 16 year old New York boy winning a trip after stealing his dad's credit card and being allowed to go and boy is my mom mad and I can't wait to tell all the kids at school, and look there he is smiling and here's a selfie he took with two hookers, and he just happened to share his story with the only news outlet publishing original stories on it.
