War Room Lounge v139: Trump has an IQ of at least 140 because he went to Wharton

[Ruprecht]

The only one with wrist support they had in the shop I went to.

Those are actually illegal here, and have been since I was in highschool.

lol, you aren't kidding. You could seriously hurt someone with this, do you recognize this is a possible human murder weapon? Imagine a marbel shot out of this or a good sized rock.

 

[Trotsky]

Do you like to watch a movie that has an idea but no plots? You know how there’s often philosophy or meaning infused in a movie, and the story takes you through these ideas etc? This film is two middle aged smug dudes talking about “deep” shit without anything actually happening. I couldn’t watch it, it’s probably literally the most dreadful movie I’ve ever suffered.

Ha, you definitely haven't seen Clifford with Martin Short, then.

This couple?

Yeah, it's a wonder that right-wingers are sticking by them after they attempted that insincere BLM groveling immediately afterwards. Just goes to show that right wingers don't give fuck all about sincerity or honesty.

@AgonyandIrony The single greatest technological advancement in the last 20 years are HD camera's built into affordable cell phones.

Yuuup. I highly recommend everyone download the ACLU app

Ever watch a Live Stream on Youtube, and wonder what the hell the purpose of the live comments are? It just scrolls and scrolls. There's no point. The bigger mystery is the vast number of people posting, thinking that their comments will be valued on any level. I get Twitter. I get Facebook. I get Forums. I do not get Live Stream comment sections.

I take it you don't watch crackstreams for mma? Imagine YouTube comments but it's just racism as the speed of light.

I miss Justintv, up all night watching pride reruns with the boys.

It would.

Once they finally figure out VR, it's gonna be the most groundbreaking piece of technology ever invented. It's the next step in just about everything, other than basic human needs like eating and shitting. When that really pops off, god help us all. We're gonna be pods. That's no joke either. Those movie scenes where people are just staring into a visor, is a very real future. A near future, too.

No joke. I've dumped God knows how many hours into Skyrim and VR completely changed the experience. I've been using Beat Saber since we can't go to the gym.

And as someone with ADHD the big screen option is amazing. Like being an in IMAX movie all by yourself.

Also who is the poster here in Springfield? This dude is hands down one of the funniest people I'm friends with on social media.

Thanks for the suggestion, is it date-friendly?

They make sense for current events livestreaming (like protests, acts of terror, etc.) to get the latest (dis)information and get a pulse on people's thoughts, as well as live Q&A's to get commentary and clarification from other people.

Twitter is the one I don't get. I'm a smart person and I'm fairly young, but I still find the interface confusing and user-unfriendly

Well you have boomerangs.

I'm not shooting at people, I just like shooting cans and if someone happens to be tied up to a chair behind those cans, that's his own fault.

 

[Trotsky]

Thanks for the suggestion, is it date-friendly?

Yeah, especially if you want to prevent your date from wanting kids.

Martin Short, as like a 35 year old man, plays a mischievous sociopath child who constantly sabotages his parents' lives for his own amusement.

Fun fact: 15 Australians die every year from boomerangs that they threw and then forgot about.

 

[Sketch]

This video is disturbingly accurate in how this forum works. Amazing footage.

 

[Ruprecht]

Well you have boomerangs.

Yeah, it was less about how outright dangerous they were, and more that they were being marketed and sold to kids. With the expected results.

I love Twitter. I do think the interface has probably gotten worse over time though.

I feel like there must be some pattern where there's a set of people who like something and a minority of that set who offer their feedback on said thing that the developers take action on, which ruins it for the majority. Happens all the time.

Willingness to give feedback must correlate with having stupid fucking opinions.

 

[HockeyBjj]

Fuck. Gilbert Burns tested positive for Covid. Out of the title fight against Usman

There's probably deep meaning behind it, that you missed because you're a beatnik that gets his kicks from watching out of shape adults talk about sex.

 

[tonni]

It just never stops.

 

[tonni]

@Trotsky I watched a scene from Clifford, that's a horror movie isn't it?

 

[tonni]

@Trotsky I watched the trailer, I wanted to kick Clifford in the face so badly. The only way this movie can be good is if Clifford gets drowned in the bath or something.

It's illegal to buy online, but I bought it for cash in a weapon's store.

 

[ToxicShocker]

IQ is 140 at least

Roger Ebert:

A movie like this is a deep mystery. It asks the question: What went wrong? "Clifford" is not bad on the acting, directing or even writing levels. It fails on a deeper level still, the level of the underlying conception. Something about the material itself is profoundly not funny. Irredeemably not funny, so that it doesn't matter what the actors do, because they are in a movie that should never have been made.

...

But Martin Short is clearly not a little boy. He is a curious adult pretending to be a little boy, with odd verbal mannerisms, like always addressing his uncle with lines like "Oh, yes, My Uncle!," and fawning up to strangers like a horny spaniel. If Clifford is not a real little boy, then what is he? The movie doesn't know and neither does the audience, and for much of the running time we sit there staring stupefied at the screen, trying to figure out what the hell we're supposed to be thinking.

...

It's not bad in any usual way. It's bad in a new way all its own. There is something extraterrestrial about it, as if it's based on the sense of humor of an alien race with a completely different relationship to the physical universe. The movie is so odd, it's almost worth seeing just because we'll never see anything like it again. I hope.​
