Street musician in Antwerp

CrushBug says...

Except for that one dude on the unicycle with the flaming bagpipes.

I'd throw a euro or two in his bucket. For some reason, street musicians are far more charming in Europe than they are in my own city (Seattle).

Real flamethrower vs. “Not a Flamethrower” by Elon Musk

jmd says...

Wait...it clearly says it is not a flame thrower. Why was there even a need for a wrap up? It clearly was what it claimed to me. Not that I didn't like seeing real flame throwers in action. Would have been interested if they revealed the fuel mixtures, seems like the old one was mixed with oil.

Black Child Abducted and Assaulted by White Supremacists

newtboy says...

Big surprise, this story has fallen apart at every step.
Red truck with flames all over full of 6 redhead racists with the most obvious racist tattoos ever in a black neighborhood went 100% unnoticed by anyone, the empty house is not empty, people live there, the multiple bodies of dead black people he saw clearly weren't there, nor was any trace they ever were.

Not a single detail from this totally unbelievable story has panned out. Probably why news organizations didn't pick up the story....it's obviously fake.

"Number 13" Sci-Fi Short Film - DUST Exclusive Premiere

jmd says...

Just..so..bad. Why is it so hard to write a good script? A story board? A director who has seen a movie or two? Lets CinimaSins this bitch;

1. opening shot is two shots at very wrong focal lengths, or that hole is actually very small.

2. One would think pre rendered special effects would not have issues with limited fill rates, but this comet clearly looks like its using a smoke trail from a video game on minimum graphic settings. You can count the number of particles on one hand.

3. For a desert nomad in a sand storm, she has an amazingly clean face, also, hoods that pull forward?

4. nomad is pointing at the clear as day impact landing of meteor as if it NEEDED to be pointed out.

5. a fairly large amount of simulated camera shake despite flames being so thin they don't smoke.

6. A horribly done transition shot where the boy is surrounded by smoke, fire, and lava, all except in the direction the camera is pointing.

7. Large tank army that no one notices until it passes them.

8. Physics, or lack of. the entire scene. Those 2 bypeds look like they were motioned captured by a two year old playing with his toys.

9. The expression on the boys face of surprise makes no sense for a robot of some sort who has crashed to the surface of a planet of which he had full intention of kicking ass in. The scowl afterwards makes it even more awkward.

10. what then proceeds is what can best be described as live gameplay from a random indie game from the steam store that utilizes a mostly black color pallet to hide the fact that nothing is texture mapped, low polygon models, and something that only slightly passes as a physics engine.

Full Frontal - Iraq War: 15 Years Later

Mordhaus says...

I'm pretty sure the stupidest war ever was the War of Jenkins' Ear, which not only was dumb in it's own merit but also spawned two additional wars that killed close to 2 million people.

Basically Britain and a trading company decided that a little war would help to spur trade, so they seized on an 8 year old incident involving the Spanish boarding a ship and cutting off the captain's ear to fan the flames of conflict.

While the casualties of this little conflict were only around 30k dead or wounded, and a paltry 500 ships, it nicely helped kick off the War of Austrian Succession. That fun conflict led to around half a million dead.

Not satisfied, the powers of Europe stewed over the previous two incidents and then decided to really get down and dirty. The Seven Years war was the first really 'global' war, involving every European great power of the time and spanning five continents. Roughly 1.25 million people got to shuffle their mortal coil off the world thanks, in part, to a little trade war over an ear.

How Star Wars The Last Jedi Should Have Ended

ChaosEngine says...

TLJ is far from my favourite movie, but neither do I think it's a garbage fire. You obviously do and that's cool.

As I said, all these things are subjective. I'm not interested in a flame war either.

I DO have an issue with some of the criticisms levelled against it because they are not really accurate or relevant, but at the same time I'll happily concede that it has serious pacing issues and a whole subplot that went nowhere.

Still better than the trainwreck that was Rogue One though.

notarobot said:

I think you misunderstand my comment.

Had this video been used to build a script for TLJ, it would have been better than TLJ because ANYTHING would have been better.

As evidence, we can compare TLJ to a two-hour video of a garbage fire, and indeed, the garbage fire would have had better writing.

The movie was terrible.

If they were going to have vaudevillian humour in the opening scenes with Poe prank-calling Hux---while dozens of star destroyers with hundreds (thousands?) of fighters sit there idle----they may as well have gone full 'Snakes on a Plane' B-movie fan service and let Ackbar do the same thing with a "it's a trap" gag.

Once again, TLJ was a garbage-fire-level terrible movie, that just happened to have the massive budget for some cool special-effects scenes and some A-list actors wasted on an awful script with a thin, scattered plot.

Now maybe TLJ is your favourite movie, and if so, whatevs. We just have different taste. I'm not going to get into a garbage-fire flame war over it.

But that wouldn't do, because that would involve some kind of consistency. And one thing I can't stand is scripts and characters in stories that contradict their own being.

e.g. Luke "I see good in the most evil villain of movie history" Skywalker considering killing his own nephew, because maybe he's too far gone. Darth Vader wasn't too far gone, but somehow the son of Leia and Han was? See how that kinda goes against Luke's character? There are a million ways they could have written the fall of Ben Solo into the dark side that didn't involve violating the essence of existing characters.

A garbage fire wouldn't have done that. A garbage fire would have known better.

ChaosEngine said:

No, it wouldn’t. That’s the joke here. It’s pointing out how cliched and boring that would have been.

Don’t get me wrong, TLJ had its problems, but the obvious fan boy criticisms (Holdo, Luke, etc) are not the right ones.

Granted, this is all subjective.

Best Reasons to play Junkrat

How the Alt-Right Trolls

StukaFox says...

Newt,

A certain person, yeah -- but there have been others from time-to-time.

Look, everyone knows we're talking about Bob, and I don't want to throw rocks at the guy. FWIW, for all his faults, I believe he's not stupid and is probably capable of presenting something rational if he could just get past bomb-throwing. He's presented a video where someone tried to intellectually defend the views that he holds. It wasn't the strongest set of arguments ever, but it was better than the usual bullshit.

Here's the thing: I actually want to hear what the other side thinks and feels, both from the standpoint of empathy and curiosity. Maybe there's something to learn from people on the other side. But I can't do this when all they present is HURR BLURF HURR CUCK SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE SJW LOCK HER UP ETC.

I hold vanishingly little hope that any kind of consensus can ever be reached again in this country (and the microcosm that is VideoSift) again, but I'm willing to at least listen and try to do my part. That doesn't mean I won't call bullshit, but if someone on the Right is willing to speak their piece without resorting to Alt-Right (Far Right) games, I'm game for something better than the usual flame war.

newtboy said:

You mean certain person, don't you? I suppose the proper response to him should just be "you're lying". Let him defend his nonsense.

The thing about this is most adults don't use their lizard brain to think...but the right uses only it's lizard brain these days. What do we do when fully half the population consistently ignores reality? Ignoring the ignorant got us Trump.

Newsreader Loses It On Radio When Reporting Felchers

Huitzimangari says...

It was written in an hour. Someone (VP of a media buying service in Chicago) had left an offensive but lame story about a gerbil (no tube, no names, no flames, one person) on my desk in an attempt to irritate. I took that and rewrote to the perverse, offensive wonder above. Only difference between that and my original was the name of the Gerbil.
From when I wrote it in the 80s and placed it on his desk in reply he had to have shared it quite a bit.

Clint Eastwood Playing Piano

Fairbs says...

I've always liked Clint; I felt bad when he flamed out at the Republican convention and the liberals piled on him; I suppose some of it was fair, but eveyone's entitled to a bad day.
