The first part doesn't make sense and the rest doesn't explain.

Scientists have been doing this.

First part makes complete sense, you're just being intentionally dense.

And yes scientists should continue to do this instead of making a deal with the devil by asking a dramatic 16 year old to do the dirty work.

I literally quoted you.

You're right, I don't understand why you said it is hopeless because the sentence right after says "We're proud of Greta upsetting right wingers".

What if Greta doesn't exist? Things would still be hopeless.

You didn't even quote my entire post. Just get over the fact that you made a poor interpretation of my post. I'm not playing this game with you anymore.

Now answer my question. It was hopeless before Greta too.

If you got that out of my post then you didn't understand it at all and I can't help you, because you see words that aren't even there. I never said anything close to your interpretation.

i dont know many right leaning individuals who deny climate change or think we shouldnt be moving towards clean energy. the problem is the crazy mentality a lot of people have to it. "doing something" tends to mean were all going to die in 20 years unless we bankrupt the country and install heavy socialist policies.

as mentioned our whole way of life cant just be flipped on a dime like that. we have to take incremental steps which is going to take time and is something we are naturally working towards (albeit maybe not as fast as id like). regardless if things really are that bad then none of this really matters anyway. if we are all going to go into a new ice age or w/e in a few decades then pretty much nothing we do now, no matter how extreme is going to matter and stop this planet from the course its on.

You see this is what a reasonable response to climate change questions looks like. These are the discussions that need to happen.

Stop being so alarmist to motivate people to action. We can't take every single vehicle off of the road. We need to be realistic and figure out what actually can or should happen.

This is such a cop out and shows 0 understanding about how our society works. Emotional appeal spreads so much more widelh than logical. Before there was no entry, common person doesn't understand shit about the science and prolly doesn't care. But you throw an emotional child in front of him pointing out the issue, they're gonna react, because they connect to that fear and anger.

She already points to the experts for these answers. You just need to hook people before you bother explaining it.

"Show the world an emotional child, because they're too dumb for anything else"

May as well waive the white flag then really, because that emotional child isn't gonna lead to crap. Licking up alt right tears isn't going to do anything to fight climate change.

There is getting people to care and then there is having a real workable plan and motivating people to act on it. Getting people to care is such a small part of what needs to happen.

Hard to have a discussion when the experts and their evidence are actively suppressed by world leaders and corporations worldwide.

Anyone that thinks the meat of climate change debate is "HOW DARE YOU" memes is not interested in discussion and has been ignoring research their entire lives. They're right that a Swedish girl won't change their mind when no one else will either.

I am here posting points against you and you just defer to the right wing straw man. Stop being such a mindless liberal and think for a minute.

What is Thunberg doing beyond being a meme machine? What is the real plan to combat climate change? Hold protests to convince world leaders to do something? Good luck with that.

You clearly aren't engaging with me in good faith here.

Again, people have been fucking talking about climate change for decades. Every year we blow it off makes it more and more likely to make drastic attempts to combat it.

Anyone that tries to turn Greta Thunberg into the entire climate change debate is not interested in actually addressing anything.

Ok so nothing of substance then. LOL just STFU about caring so much about climate change. This isn't about caring. This is about doing something of value. Having a plan. We need a discussion.

We don't need more "HOW DARE YOU!!!!" memes

Does anyone ever attempt to actually analyze what Thunberg says or are you too busy licking alt right tears?

I'm all for doing something about climate change, but we need to start having real discussions about what climate change is and how exactly it will play out. Then we need to formulate what our response to that will be. Once you get to this point, you realize that Thunberg only functions as a motivational speaker and people holding her up as a messiah are some real idiots.

Combatting climate change is an incredibly complex thing. Remember that our entire economy is built the way it is and changing that to combat climate change can have its own negative effects we need to worry about too. We can't just suddenly take all cars off of the road and tear down and rebuild every single building out there.

Rallying behind her just seems like such an idiotic thing to do. She is just a living meme machine.

I think climate change is an important issue too and I worry she is just setting the movement back in the long run.

She's a young kid with a mental illness so it is easy to attack people who rip on her.

This. Finn is a racist trope. Boyega deserved better. Was very excited to see what they'd do with this character before TFA, but it became very clear early on that he would only really amount to goofy comic relief sidekick.

That is still how it works in TLJ. Weird how nobody thinks A New Hope breaks the lore when Han talks about how you can hit stuff if you aren't careful when you make the jump to lightspeed

Probably because that doesn't contradict anything. It was also a quick comment made in the first film compared to a major scene in the latest ST film.

No I stand pretty firm on the lore breaking issue, but I offered a situation in which I'm willing to accept it. The scene fails on multiple levels. I have flexibility for how I view lore in certain films.

And yes I'm going to point out that people insulting others for discussing this are lacking in awareness.

On a more basic level, I can't stand the notion that "we don't like TLJ, therefore it is invalid, therefore it breaks the lore" as opposed to "ok we have some new material to work with that means we might have to somewhat reassess what we know about this relatively minor technical thing." It's so petty and backwards

So you're moving the goal posts?

I don't think you're wrong for still liking a film that I hate. At least, you defend some aspects of it which leads me to assume that you like it.

People can like or dislike a film for any number of reasons. It is when people boil their opinions down to personal attacks that I take issue such as "dumb star wars nerds, basement dwellers, neckbeards, who complain about a children's space fantasy film." As if we aren't all adults on a dying video game website arguing with each other over this. No one who engages in these discussions gets to play the superiority card over someone else who engages in these discussions.

I dont care about hyperspace attacks to take out the Death Stars not being addressed. It wasnt important to the story back then.

If you have that mindset then youll also enjoy Game of Thrones season 8 and accept it as being great just the way it is. The way this thing was handled is illogical/doesnt make much sense/isnt the most effective!.

Who knows more about effective storytelling, character development, & conclusions to character arcs....some disgruntled viewers or the directors & producers who are the experts creating the stuff?

Time to stop the TLJ hate. Empire Strikes Back wasnt popular when it was first released, but now is universally loved. The haters are going to do complete 180s on The Last Jedi.

Just like the prequel trilogy which is at best still divisive today........

Plus it's a basic understood part of film language that stuff exists off screen. Just because you don't fully understand why something in a space fantasy does or doesn't happen doesn't mean there isn't an explanation

There we're plenty of times it could have been done in films prior. It could have even been done earlier within this film. Using blowing up the original death star as an example is pretty poor. Biggest ship ever versus tiny X wings. A decent sized commander type ship versus a star destroyer is more appropriate.

It clearly is one of those story tricks where it is like "try not to think too much about it and enjoy." Why do you seem so dead set on denying this? I get that some people are able to enjoy stuff like that (I can too in certain instances) but not everyone can. No one needs to necessarily be wrong in this.

Also, part of the issue is with Holdo herself. Just wasn't a great or even likable character. Her sacrifice carried no weight. She should've been replaced with Ackbar and then that whole subplot would have been much better received. It felt like I was being gaslit into believing Holdo was so great for her sacrifice or something.

Do i really need to make the obvious argument that when we see something happen for the first time it's silly to say it breaks the lore of what we saw before, especially when that thing is kamikaze. Yall are saying that because the movie used that in a dramatic character moment, by Supreme Logic, ships should have been kamikazing all over the place at the battle of yavin

If lore breaking stuff doesn't bother you then fine. Won't tell you you're wrong for just enjoying a film.

I and many others didn't like it, because it makes you question why this hasn't been done before. It also felt like a cheap cop out for Holdo's character. Like as if we are suddenly supposed to start finding her likable or heroic.

I got no problem with people not liking the movies. That's normal. But the stuff yall complain about is so stupid. Luke sucks because he was troubled and not a one dimensional sunny hero fulfillment. Light speed ram breaks the lore because every prior space battle didn't have one. Think whatever you want but yall sound ridiculous.

I don't come into these Star Wars topics to be adversarial. If i can snap even one person out of this perpetual unreasonable negativity that's been festering for 20 years i would be happy.

Dude, your arguments are terrible. Those are very much legitimate complaints to have with the film. You offer no real counter to those points.

The only real counter you could legitimately make is that you just don't care about lore and found it entertaining.

Seriously, stop devolving into insulting other people. That isn't an argumwnt

The video starts around the time the drunk driver is giving testimony, it appears at least. I don't know why the judge picked this moment to make an issue of them laughing. It seems that if they were laughing the whole way through previous testimonies that it should have been stopped right then.

This just looks like one of those times where the video doesn't show nearly enough.

Also, this video is almost three years old
