Swalwell was banging a Chinese spy. He's still on the House Intel Committee and didn't resign his House of Representative position.

 

The USA is a banana republic where feudal lords (like Disney) can do whatever they want. I don't want to care about US politics. I really don't. But they keep coming back to me, when trash companies like Disney use them to fire Gina for fake reasons, with a fake trial and fake arguments.

 

Disney (the "virtuous" company that supports the authorities that put Uyghurs in camps) don't even need to show evidence, because journalists do their bidding and people don't check what Gina actually said.  Pedro Pascal, James Gunn and a whole lot of other Disney employees did far worse, but they keep their job.

 

I watch this, from the other side of the Atlantic, and I am truly disgusted.

She was cute.

 

The USSR were famous for employing many pretty women as spies. They were ruthless, but some men can be fooled by pretty faces. When you've known several beautiful women, you know that beauty and kindness are not correlated... They're not anti-correlated either, BTW. Anyway....

 

I guess the CCP copied some of the USSR methods.

Remember the Russian spy Anna Chapman?

 

Many people would've done everything for her, even if they knew... which is a big mistake. People shouldn't abandon their self-respect for a one-sided relationship, even if the girl is hot. You're better off with a less sexy, but more honest woman. Much better.

Are we going to keep pretending this never happened? And Clinton pardoned her?

I'm pretty sure they work for BLM in some capacity.

@Stromboli1 They deleted Kevin Sorbo's page. I don't know him much, I just remember the Hercules show (pretty good show) but I know you like him (and he's from the Andromeda galaxy like you).

I guess he's disappointed

Spoiler

 

 

But whatever. Facebook is useless anyway and he didn't lose his job like Gina (note that his posts are far more political than Gina's).

Facebook sucks!

 

Sorbo is still doing his own thing.

I blame all that on the same twitsjw mob who got Gina fired, among others. 

And the big corps who kowtow to those idiots, thus, feeding those trolls, which gives them more power.

There's more to the article/interview. Lucasfilm didn't even tell Gina they fired her, what a garbage company and hopefully they take a huge PR & monetary hit.

I understand why Carano feels torn about taking down the image: there’s no winning. Leave it up and you’re bad. Take it down and you’re bad, since it’s an admission of guilt. That’s what she found out when Lucasfilm tried to force her to apologize over the pronoun joke in her Twitter bio:

 

“Earlier on last year before The Mandalorian came out, they wanted me to use their exact wording for an apology over pronoun usage. I declined and offered a statement in my own words. I made clear I wanted nothing to do with mocking the transgender community, and was just drawing attention to the abuse of the mob in forcing people to put pronouns in their bio,” she told me. 

 

Lucasfilm’s response was to exclude her from all press and promotion for the show, according to Carano. “That was heart-breaking, but I didn't want to take away from the hard work of everyone who worked on the project, so I said ok. That was the last time I was contacted about any type of public statement or apology from Lucasfilm. I found out through social media, like everyone else, that I had been fired.”

These guys are cowards. They couldn't face her... they had to stab her in the back.

 

Disney will survive, they'll still make plenty of money. They are a big feudal lord in Murica, they have many people doing their bidding in the media. They actually own many media (like EPSN... which is why ESPN attacked Dana White when he defended Gina).

 

Many normies will never hear what really happened. They'll never read what Gina wrote. They'll just read the articles that are written by Disney's shills.

Embrace it, Cult. Men with grey hair are looked at as being more distinguished and worldly. And handsome.

Thank you :-D

 

My hair is medium length now which makes the greying (the most on the top of head) much more obvious at the root

^ And I remember when AT&T was declared a monopoly and was busted up into the baby bells. 
 

Which were eventually re-absorbed in the 90’s, creating what Hubs calls the Death Star. The FCC got bullied into allowing AT&T to merge with them again. 
 

My point, was/is Disney has eaten up loads of entertainment and sports media that it is becoming much like AT&T, when they were picking up all their babies. 
 

I learned in business classes that Monopoly and Oligarchy were bad. 
 
I guess that’s changed in this new century.

Patches is a really funny character! Patches the unbreakable, they guy that survives everything (and who is sometimes quite disingenuous).

 

There's a trope for characters like him. He's a bit like Tuco in the Good, the bad and the ugly. You both like and dislike them, but in the end, you always end up having a lot of empathy for them.

 

Patches will continue to survive as you will find out in the DLCs.  IIRC Patches is even in Demon Souls/DS remake. 

 

I think my favorite characters at the firelink shrine are Ludeth, Hawkwood, Firekeeper and Yuria ( love her voice actress and character.  She could be Ciri's mom).  Particularly the embodiment of medieval stoicism- Ludeth- who could be the "Marcus Aurelius" of dark souls.   There is more than a measure of grace and quiet heroism about him.

 

This channel has dialogue compilations.  Even though there wasn't a lot of dialogue, all of it is well written and well acted by professional actors.  Frankly these characters are so intriguing that they could have been much expanded in the game.

Interesting. The game is very rich in terms of weapons, character building and maps, but there isn't enoguh NPCs and side stories. I wish there were more.

 

And I wish other games (that are called "souls like") would have the rich gameplay DS3 has.

 

For example, Jedi fallen order has a fairly big story / universe, but it's so poor in terms of weapons, character building or force powers. It has no replay value, because the character/equipment progression is so linear, what's the point of exploring? (the best thing you can find is skins for the ponchos  or lightsaber... not very interesting)

 

 

 

That's kind of how people felt about Miyazki's games.  Dark Souls has the most diverse gameplay.  Bloodborne - less diverse but it has extremely strong bosses, art, and world building.  Sekiro is excellent, although not as diverse as Souls.

 

Ah, I found it.  It's Blasphemous.  Although it's a 2-D game it captures the spirit of Dark Souls perfectly but in a Spanish/ Catholic horror setting

You have the 2 x DLCs which should expand the game a bit.  A lot of Souls lovers play the older games, like Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, and Demon Souls.  Demon Souls is technically a proto-Dark souls.  Miyazaki designed it first and changed it due its modest commercial results.  Without Demon Souls there would have never been Dark Souls.

 

Yeah Jedi Fallen Order was most likely influenced by the Souls franchise.  The game has a lot of potential to be great and much bigger than it was, that's up to a sequel if it is being developed?

What color is your hair?

 

@frenchkiki  you still keep your  wavy blonde hair?

 

I usually dye my hair black, which is my natural color.

Bottom line is that the government allowed these corporations to get so big in the first place and then by buying/merging with their competition in their respective industries much like Big Tech is doing now. Also use their connections in the government to limit or even put their competition out of business.

How come only Cuomo is getting called out?!

 

Need to get in on Newsome, Whitmer, Murphy, and other governors who did the same as Cuomo.
