Do we have any idea how bad her laugh was?

Like if it was a 30 second laugh then I'd be like yeah she sounds like an idiot.

The judge said in the video she was laughing throughout the entirety of the sister's testimony.


Yeah if true then fair. I just find it suspect to go solely off of the Judge's words to make such a determination. Contempt of court just sounds like BS in general so I'm gonna take the Judge's words with a grain of salt.

Curious as to what caused her to laugh. Like how could you find her testimony funny in any way?

If it was just a quick reaction one then I'd probably just ignore it.

The idea of locking someone up for 90 days for this sort of thing is pretty messed up. Contempt of court is generally a BS charge.

Like whatever happened to hating an actor or actress for whatever reason you feel like? People are welcome to do it.

You're welcome to do it. And we're welcome to consider you odd and irrational for having irrational or stupid reasons for hating someone.

No one is questioning whether someone is entitled to having a stupid opinion. You're more than free to having such opinions.


I'm not gonna get on you for having a positive, neutral, or whatever opinion of Brie. I don't understand why these topics always divulge into people insulting others opinion of am actress.

I do think there are a number of examples of people making a reach to complain about Brie Larson. Yes it is stupid.

Still, I just very much dislike her. I dislike other actresses and actors. I really like other ones and I'm indifferent to others and I think a variety of things about many more.

I try to voice my opinion as to why I feel this way about her. Feel free to disagree, but looking to insult others or label their opinion as stupid just isn't helpful.

It's like either she is bad at joking around or she is full of herself. Either Way, it isn't exactly making her look all that likable.


Or maybe the people who get so bothered by her cant understand sarcasm


I'm very aware of sarcasm. I just think she comes off rather odd at best when she attempts it.

There has been an influx of people defending Brie with comments like "haha haha you get so triggered, your hatred is so irrational, you must hate all women."

Like whatever happened to hating an actor or actress for whatever reason you feel like? People are welcome to do it.

I gave Brie a fair shot with CM and I was pretty disappointed. A large part of me disliking that movie is cause I didn't like how she comes off. That whole movie she had this annoying smugness to her.

Worst of both sides? Lol

Anyone arguing that trans women don't have a major advantage over CIS women is being incredibly ignorant. The other side is simply pointing this out.

Like the only people I've ever seen argue that trans women don't have an unfair advantage are people who are generally pretty ignorant of sports.

High end amateur male athletes tend to beat elite pro female athletes. The gap between men and women athletically is super significant.

Seriously, just start asking who has played sports before and who hasn't and we can move through this way quicker.

I think Gus and Mickey are both terrible people though. Basically, anytime that Mickey freaks out on Gus she has justification to be upset, but she acts like such an over the top psycho that I no longer care about her issue. Then Gus is just the most annoying people pleaser on the planet and has his own embarrassing meltdowns.

Both main characters need to be locked up in a psych ward.


Yeah but Mickey starts to turn it around while Gus throughout is just toxic to her.

Mickey becomes someone you can root for.


Eh I disagree on that. Mickey was starting to get better, but was still struggling. Mickey was still an extremely toxic person even when she was getting better. It was just an improvement. I thought her behavior towards Gus when each of them met the others parents was especially bad.

Honestly, I never found her attractive in Community where they were trying their hardest to make her as attractive looking as possible. So maybe she just isn't for me if that was your thing.

I really like it at times and I also really hate it at times. Season 3 went really downhill for me and it makes me reflect on the entire series negatively.

Both main characters are pretty unlikable people. They both do awful things and it is hard to imagine them in any sort of healthy relationship ever.

Judd Apatow does this thing in his projects where he likes to show characters being really crazy, because he thinks it makes them "real." I don't know what type of insane person Apatow is or the people he associates with. It seems like he lives in some fantasy world where everyone is insane.

There is A LOT of cringe comedy in this. There is one particular episode where I think it is great, but I feel most of it is pretty flat. Again, this is Apatow showing people how real it is to be crazy.

It is pretty remarkable how so few characters in this entire show are really all that likable.

Actually, the more I think of this show, the more I hate it. I just really loved season one when it came out and I liked each of the next two seasons less as they went on.

Paul Rust is just hard to look at. I think he is a pretty ugly looking person. I also think Gillian Jacobs is really unattractive looking. I mean, their personalities are also terrible, but man they were always hard to look at.

I'd really like to go into spoilers on this show. Hard to be vague enough to not spoil, but descriptive enough to explain why I ended up disliking this show so much.

I mean, I really did love season one of this show. I was incredibly hyped for season 2 and still strongly anticipating season 3. I felt incredibly let down. It just seems like these characters learn very little from their actions in the grand scheme of things. Like they might improve in one aspect, but then they get worse in another.

Even with all of my feelings of hatred, I still have to admit that there were portions of this show that I still find to be brilliant. It is a weird feeling. Those amazing moments just end up making me more angry, because they demonstrate the wasted potential.

I don't think I've ever had such conflicting feelings for a show or movie. It is weird. Would love to discuss more honestly.

Like a lot of Apatow stuff. It could be edited down quite a bit.

Also felt like the Joker/Batman universe stuff was just included to sell tickets. Arthur didn't act like Joker at all. Making the Joker's origin story be that he was bullied by society was a strange choice. I don't think Joker cares about society's thoughts/actions on him that much.

Everybody that I've talked to loved the movie, including the people I watched it with.


This is clearly a collection of all the complaints aimed at the film minus the "this movie is dangerous" one.

Ultimately, a movie should entertain you and keep you from having a desire to check your phone. Most movies are pointless.

The thing with this movie is the cinematography and Joaquin's acting were absolutely brilliant and even negative reviews tend to concede this.

Literally no I haven't

I'm pro do something about climate change. I just think emotional speeches by teenagers are just there to make you feel good and have no lasting impact.

Protests barely accomplish anything. Look at all the protests over police shootings. Police still basically get to kill without much meaningful oversight. Protests just play into other issues.

People need to be better educated about this stuff. Raising awareness only really go so far. Reducing climate change is such a complicated discussion. You need to start making real plans for dealing with that. Everything is so interconnected yet separate. You can't just point the finger at a single company or group of companies. Companies all over the world do a variety of things and they compete with each other.

https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/science/climate-scientists-say-greta-thunberg-s-efforts-are-building-real-ncna1059321

Environmental activist Greta Thunbergs searing address at the United Nations earlier this week earned enthusiastic praise from climate researchers, with many saying that the 16-year-old has found ways to raise awareness of climate science, galvanize support and resonate with people in ways that they have struggled to for decades.

Speaking as a climate change scientist who has been working on this issue for 20 years and saying the same thing for 20 years, she is getting people to listen, which we have failed to do, said Saleemul Huq, director of the International Centre for Climate Change & Development in Bangladesh.

I thought it was the most powerful speech Ive ever seen.

Sally Benson, co-director of the Precourt Institute for Energy at Stanford University, applauded Thunbergs emotional remarks and her efforts to mobilize young people to demand action on climate change.

She has been a catalytic leader, Benson said. Were seeing more grassroots action, and shes creating a movement where young people are pushing communities, cities, states and corporations and saying, were not going to wait.


There you go. That's what climate scientists are saying.


Is this a scientific analysis of climate change scientists consensus on Thunberg? Do we have data to show that she has actually effected real change?


lmao

goalposts ------> that way


Literally one article from NBC news with a few climate scientists quoted. Don't act like that equates to something definitive.

lmao compared to your please listen to anyone else but I wont tell you who bullshit hes got a lot more validity


Does anyone anywhere know climate scientists?

Environmental activist Greta Thunbergs searing address at the United Nations earlier this week earned enthusiastic praise from climate researchers, with many saying that the 16-year-old has found ways to raise awareness of climate science, galvanize support and resonate with people in ways that they have struggled to for decades.

Speaking as a climate change scientist who has been working on this issue for 20 years and saying the same thing for 20 years, she is getting people to listen, which we have failed to do, said Saleemul Huq, director of the International Centre for Climate Change & Development in Bangladesh.

I thought it was the most powerful speech Ive ever seen.

Sally Benson, co-director of the Precourt Institute for Energy at Stanford University, applauded Thunbergs emotional remarks and her efforts to mobilize young people to demand action on climate change.

She has been a catalytic leader, Benson said. Were seeing more grassroots action, and shes creating a movement where young people are pushing communities, cities, states and corporations and saying, were not going to wait.


There you go. That's what climate scientists are saying.

This is all TommyG does, by the way. Carries on with anti-left sentiment thru-out topics while constantly reminding us how liberal he is.


Anti left? Lol

I'm anti far left

I 100% believe that climate change/global warming/whatever is an extremely important issue and that we need to start making wide scale changes to help combat this. Personal responsibility for environmentalism is great, but it can only do so much. Corporations play a significantly larger role in all of this. Beyond that, even just focusing on the USA is flawed. Russia and China are major contributors to this too and quite frankly I don't know how to solve that. They do what they do and I'm not sure how we can influence them.

I'm bisexual and have spent a lot of time among various gay communities. I learned through those experiences that there are plenty (I can't nail it down to an exact percentage) enough within the gay community that have issues towards bisexual people that it is more advantageous for me to never say I'm bisexual and let them assume I'm gay. These negative feelings range from outright hate to a general dismissiveness of my orientation (ex. I remember my bisexual phase before realizing I was gay). I'm pretty aware of the idiocy on the far left.

I also went to a very large liberal university and pursued a very left leaning major and was thus frequently surrounded by many far left types. I've spent a lot of time around these people. I've heard the word problematic spoken out loud way too many times to count. The far left can be pretty stupid.

The far right is clearly worse, but that doesn't let the far left off the hook. I could spend plenty of time blasting the far right, but it just seems so obvious. These people support Trump lol.

But I likely just gave a troll more attention then they deserve. Reasonable to deduce that this was someone's alt as well.

pretty sure tommyg is a trumper.

people attacking a 16 kid with autism for dating to speak out about the biggest issue facing the world are acting despicably


Lol

I am and always will be a never Trumper.

Currently pulling for Warren and I've been extremely happy that Harris has fallen out of favor though I honestly would still have voted for her if she won the nomination. I'm lukewarm on Biden, but I'd still vote for him.

Stop treating politics like a sports game. There are infinitely more than two sides.

Youre the one who started saying youre a liberal and trying to rally your team and now youre saying this?

There is no waiting for the perfect spokesperson.


Yes and I added nuance to the discussion and am arguing with other liberals/left leaning types that I disagree with. I'm not trying to rally my "team" as I don't see it that way. I'm mostly just saying guys lets do better than Greta.

I think a better spokesperson than Thunberg is a rather low bar to clear. I never said we needed the perfect spokesperson.

EDIT

I should also add that it is rather suspicious of you to only respond to the last thing I said and ignore the rest.

Your entire argument so far has been whining about liberals and saying that we need the magical perfect spokesperson who doesnt exist.

We need everyone fighting for this.


Clearly you are not engaging me in good faith.

Or perhaps your reading comprehension skills could be improved.

Who do you think should be speaking up about climate change?


Literally anyone else.

Do you think Thunberg is a high bar to clear?
