War Room Lounge v52: Oh, We Beefin' Now

[Fawlty]

It’s a girl.

It's even worse than I thought. You're pushing a trans agenda now. I will pray for all of you.

Meh, three year olds throw fits, it’s what they do. Parents do need to discipline them, but it can be a long process before it sinks in. You have to be consistent and, frankly, ignore the dumb dumbs who assume you coddle your child because they see them acting like a brat in Target. It’s easy to start questioning yourself wrt raising a whole person, but the reality is, every kid responds in different ways and has different circumstances in their life that can impact their behavior. You have to be able to adapt to their individual personality and still teach them to be good humans, without making them feel like shit about themselves. Not always easy, and there are no silver bullets that make tantrums disappear, especially at that age.

Just my two cents.

If a kid is tired or sick, bets are off, but under normal circumstances, toddler behavior can— and should— be managed.

Not that they’ll NEVER be a brat, but you can cut those behaviors way down.

Anyhow, came here to post this:

Oh boy, they just announced the lead actress for the upcoming live action Little Mermaid movie is a young black singer/actress

First MJ and now Ariel? Fuck man, why they gotta they replace the redheads? Oh well, these live action Disney movies seem like shit anyway.

A cowboy was riding home with his newly-wed wife. Suddenly, the horse was bucking. The cowboy said "One".

They continued riding. About half way to the ranch, the horse was bucking again. The cowboy said "Two".

Shortly before they arrived at the ranch, the horse bucked a third time. The cowboy said "Three", drew his Colt and shot the horse dead.

The wife protested: "But you didn't have to kill it!"

The cowboy said "One".

Was it you guys that responded to me about A Quiet Place?

So I watched It Comes At Night tonight, which was released a year before AQP and was compared to AQP.


And, I gotta say, It Comes At Night is so much better in every conceivable way: in terms of concept, acting, writing, directing, production, and overall thematic complexity and clarity. It's in an entirely different universe. A Quiet Place is a two-dimensional concept-shock-scare flick. It Comes At Night is a poignant, layered, tightly-woven, and tragic tour de force. The theme, especially as tied between the title/promoted concept and the actual story, is just fantastic.

In short, though similar in general outline, A Quiet Place is a pop-up book and It Comes At Night is a fucking novel. There is so much analysis that I could give of this movie. Highly recommend. No surprise that the director only has one previous film and it's a critical diamond.

EDIT: Also, it's a great example of why audiences are fucking stupid. Audiences gave it a D. Critics gave it a 87% fresh rating.

I saw AQP after hearing how good it was from word of mouth and I was pretty disappointed. Its not a bad movie, I enjoyed it as I was watching it. But I have little to no desire to watch it again and I think its overrated.

I've seen the trailer for It Comes at Night and I have wanted to see it ever since but just haven't gotten around to it. With your recommendation I just might though.

Did you guys know Octopuseses have brains in their tentacles, and their tentacles move independently from their head? They have 9 brains. Superior species imo.

Yes I had heard of that, something like 2/3rds of their neurons are spread through the body. They are highly intelligent, pretty much the smartest invertebrates out there. Their design is just so elegant, really fascinating creatures.

Of course. But, imo, it's not all that concerning when a toddler is having trouble managing and appropriately expressing their feelings. Yeah, it's annoying, but it is of no consequence in the long run. At that age they suck at controlling their emotions, anything that upsets them is the worst thing eva, and they're figuring it all out. Some are more stubborn than others. Parents just need to be consistent with the rules and not get too emotional themselves.

I really hope Amash runs on the libertarian ticket. If so, I already know who I'm voting for.

I've heard good things about Transistor. The studio behind it also did Bastion which I never finished but I played through most of it and thoroughly enjoyed it so I trust them.

I've had my cat for 10 years and I've never even seen his balls, much less evaluated them for adorableness. If it weren't for the vet I'd never know his sex.

We all know that Canadians just wish they were US citizens, right @Sketch?

I haven't in here in a day, what did I miss?

It’s a girl.

Oh, wow, um, Congratulations!

I'm absolutely done with @KnightTemplar 's fucking shitty gifs and image posting skills. We need an intervention cause I'm about to buy a ticket to Scotland and smash him

Where in Scotland does he live?

 

[senri]

I get this as that’s how my folks raised me but the kid to be fair is 3 and I feel like my buddy is unwilling to really come down on his 3 year old cause her mom died shortly after childbirth.

I can correct the children if they stay out of alignment. Mr. Gregolian send me more details on the PM and i will assist you..

Make sure you save enough money to at least buy me dinner first. I'm not that cheap a date

I'll step on a rat, put it on a string and lure you outside.

Unless said rat is deep fried and you throw in a bottle of Irn Bru...

I don't want your mom to come along.

If he's a long hair, you wouldn't see them. Mines a short hair and he was packing heat back in the day.

Bastion looks awesome, I might have to pick it up. Transistor has that cool, stylish, story driven sci-fi feel I'm looking for, so I'm psyched to try it out.
Probably also going to pick up Torment: Tides of Numera. The story is so original and amazing it pisses me off that I can't think of shit like that on my own. Luckily @Cubo de Sangre (with the help of some suggestions from @N13 and @Tufts ) is a helluva a story teller and has been nice enough to help me with ideas.
