Um, do you mind? We were having an intelligent conversation until you blundered in. I mean, at least address the actual points I made, don't just throw in some generic vaguely related rant.
No I don't mind at all. Free forum at all that, if you don't like it you can continue pouting. Your intelligent conversation contains nothing but debunked garbage that can be disproved by hitting your favorite search engine. Maybe the points I made were simply too verbose for you, would this help?
"Women have individual choice, and they're not choosing the way you want. So in your view, the solution is to remove their choice(s)." Why people would promote authoritarian views, and not expect to be called out for them is rather mind boggling.
So what arbiter1 actually meant was that women we are attractive and willing to trade off that, perhaps with revealing clothes or flirty chat, find it easier. Women who can't or won't do that don't get that advantage.
So you haven't actually been paying attention to what's been going on at twitch for the last half-year then. You don't know how easy it is to go from say a 3 or 4/10 to a 7 or 8/10 with a bit of patience and cake of makeup. Providing of course you're not obese. Oh it's not just 'revealing clothes' it's stripping clothes off, open sexual remarks, direct pussy, ass, and tit cams and so on. There's been a few hundred cases of open sexual content i.e. masturbation, at least 2 female streamers under the age of 16 masturbating on streams, you can find the stories on those pretty easily. Yes, those all belong on gaming channels right?
For someone that claims they watch streams, you haven't been paying attention very much to the gaming channel on twitch the last half-year have you? There's a reason there was a content creator backlash against the titty-streamers.
Have you entered puberty yet? It's very simple. Show lots of flesh, cash in on lonely male demographic. This isn't rocket surgery, you do understand the basic biology of men and relation to visual queues right?
Equal pay is definitely an issue still, despite it being illegal. But the gender pay gap is a very different beast with very different and more complex solutions.
Except it's not. Equal pay is mandated by law, I can count on between both hands the number of cases in Ontario in the last 20 years that have been valid. It's not that many. "Gender pay gap" is no problem at all, because if you're unwilling to negotiate then you have no one to blame but yourself. Unless you're arguing that people should have autonomy removed, or you're going to mandate flat pay. And tell me something, how are you going to get all those bright minds that are good and chasing money if there is no incentive to do so.
To fix the gender pay gap we need to go things like encourage more women to get into STEM....
And in countries where your ideas have been put into place, even fewer women go into STEM fields. Gee I wonder why, it's almost like they have MORE personal choice. Gee I wonder why those girls are outperforming boys when the education system has been pushed to "group methods of learning" which disincentive individual achievement. Gee I wonder why those girls simply have anxiety problems maybe they're just not cut out for it. But instead of bucking down like the boys do, they opt for easier subjects.
How many female prison guards that work in male prisons do you know of? Extreme minority of an extreme minority of women enter that field, even less then police because it's such a demanding job. And that's because they have to be able to: Fight, excel in hand-to-hand combat, certify every year on a variety of firearms(pistols, rifles, semi-automatic, and automatic weapons), have to pass organized 'siege' defenses in-case of a prisoner riot as well. But we sure don't hear you or feminists crying that we need to increase the numbers working there.
Who'd have thought, subjects which are high pressure, have life-or-death consequences draw fewer women into them. Even female dominated fields like nursing have a massive dropout rate in the first 6mo as so many can't cope with the pressure. That's true now, and it was true 60 years ago when my grandmother was a head nurse. 84% of her nursing class left in the first 9 months unable to cope with the demands. 97% of her RHN(different designation now), were gone in 6 weeks.
and those tiddy bait girls make lots and lots of money.
That shouldn't be a surprise, especially on twitch. A large number of mods and employees are fans and pay them. One of the reasons there was such a big backlash a few months ago against the creep of titty streamers into gaming channels and out of IRL, and an explosion of them using prerecorded game footage while shaking their bits on the screen.
Also, a female streamer has 100x higher chance to draw offensive and abusive attention to herself from small minded misogynists... It more than balances things.
Yeah, and I'll bet like the previous harassment survey's the main offenders will be other women.
By "Reporter" do you mean hate-group leader Tommy Robinson? He was arrested for standing outside the court shouting at jurors and trying to undermine the trial.
The full video doesn't show that. The fact that there is no mention of his arrest, they scrubbed all court dockets in the area, and have a publication ban on it is far more telling at just how authoritarian the UK is.
Even those PVC and dioxins are used in industry, mainly in making clink. We're pretty good at using everything these days in some form or another instead of putting it into barrels and dumping it into a gigantic pit like 70 years ago.
It's not. You eventually learn to put up with it, because if no one else will, someone's going to get sick and die. Same thing happens if you're taking care of a terminally ill family member, it's responsibility and nothing else. The number of people that transition from taking care of terminally ill family members into nursing is kind of amazing as well. Because they've in most cases already seen the worst, the drop-out rates in 1st year nursing students is pretty high outside of those people.
Essentially biodegradable - and also works very well as fuel for waste-to-energy plant.
Environmentalists, especially those in cities here in North America throw a hissyfit over waste-to-energy plants, and screech even louder at the ones which can handle biomedical waste. But they have no problem wanting to line a lime pit 200m deep with plastic and ship their city garbage to it.
Here's an example, 80Mw plant just inside the city limit. Burned all of the cities waste and medical waste for 5 major hospitals. Environmentalists screeched and shut it down, now it's all buried in a landfill outside of the city. You can smell it when you drive by as well. That's London, Ontario. Toronto ships it's garbage to Michigan by truck, but is full on insane refusing to want to build a W2E facility. They'd rather dump their garbage into that lime pit(Beachville, Ontario/Oxford County).
I don't think they're thinking about kitchen utensils (of course you do rightly highlight the absurdity of anti-knife laws in that they ban pocket knives, but allow the knife used to carve the sunday roast....)
Considering there's already been news articles about kids being arrested for bottle openers, and stores refusing to sell forks to teenagers? I'm pretty sure they're already at the whole kitchen utensils bit already. Stores won't sell a steak knife to those under 18 or 21, but seriously if someone wants to cause injury they can walk out into any broken down industrial area and grab 4" of fence, rusted metal, or whatever else and a chunk of concrete and make themselves a shank in 30 minutes.
The whole knife ban is looking in the wrong direction.
Truthfully, I wish my review was wrong. The hardcore fans hate it just as much as the ghostbuster fans hated the remake, and there's good reasons in both.
Well Toronto isn't "too american" and really hasn't even been the case. What it was back years ago was a very arrogant version of elite canpol(think ottawa on steroids), wrapped around the arrogance of multiculturalism. It's only gotten worse without a doubt. But it's sure got the smug, arrogant, and fuck you attitude going for it.
The electricity rates are multiple fuckups on top of multiple fuckups. Another good one is that Ontario is paid by the US $0.03kWh when there is demand for electricity, and when there is no demand, Ontario pays the US 0.07kWh to buy it. I like living in the SWON, but if push comes to shove I'll just move to Alberta. Plenty of open land, cheap bush, and you can take your pick of big city or small town life.
That's premier. I'm far more amused at the people labeling my comment as "troll" instead of figuring out that ~15 years of the same policies over and over and over and over again, haven't increased the wealth of well anyone. Not the poor, not the middle class, not the wealthy either. The problem in Ontario, is that there's such a high density of people in the GTA that it's effectively a voting block all on it's own. The liberals for the last 15 years have promised that area everything under the sun for votes, and given them well...nothing. Wages are flat, income is flat, taxes have gone up, energy prices have gone through the roof. 60k people have been disconnected from electricity. 650k are 6mo or more in arrears for electricity. The largest utility in the province only has 1.3M customers and they control nearly the entire electrical grid.
The goverments plan to boost the minimum wage to $15/hr has cost 60k jobs in the first fiscal quarter, on track for another 70k jobs lost this fiscal quarter. Brilliant right? Now the people who were working 2 $12-13/hr jobs only have one. And despite the claims that "canada is booming" well it is, but only if you want a minimum wage job and work two or three of them to make ends meet.
The people who've felt it the worst is everyone outside of the GTA. To put in perspective just how lopsided the voting is for Americans, look at California in a state election, now think of San Francisco. Imagine that in order to control the state, you only had to run your campaign in that city. That's what Ontario is like.
Is that it? You want all of the wealth and productivity to benefit you, as your royal majesty demands?
In 1992, three counties made up 30% of Ontario's GDP via manufacturing. None of them were in Toronto, today those three counties make less then 2% of Ontario's GDP. Where's the businesses you ask? They fled to the US and Mexico where taxes were cheaper.
Now ask yourself, where is all that wealth when the average middle class home in Toronto/GTA is over $1.7M and you're only making $83k/year.
The real goal is to rebuild the waterfront, where this is taking place because no developer wanted to deal with the absolute bureaucratic nightmare known as Toronto to do it. Then didn't want anything to do with the bureaucratic nightmare from the province of Ontario and the insane environmental regulations and impact studies. This has been going on since the mid-90's, and the previous Toronto governments drove away investment, and the current Liberal Party policies ensured that nobody wanted to do anything with it. It actually got worse under the leadership of the Liberal Party(under Dalton McGuinty), several groups were looking at pooling together and rebuilding it back in 2000. The 2003 election changed that, especially with the anti-industry and anti-development platforms pushed by the party.
Now see the finances of Ontario and Toronto. Toronto has a massive budget shortfall and is hoping that this will stop the lending market from downgrading the city by showing "future revenue" from it. Toronto itself isn't much different in terms of mismanagement then Detroit or Chicago. And the Liberal Party of Ontario is hoping the same, because they've caused the province to be downgraded repeatedly due to the massive debt load. As a comparison, when Greece's debt imploded it was at $300B. Ontario is at $315B with roughly the same population(11m) or 1/3 of the population of Canada. And the debt level under the current government went fro 113B to 315B in 20 years, but in general the province has nothing to show for it outside of Toronto itself.
We get it, you're upset that they aren't catering especially to you anymore. Grow up kid.
So tell everyone something: What happens when a company isn't catering to it's core demographic? I'll wait. I'm sure if you think realllllly hard you'll figure it out.
If your cavalry is being led by someone who lied so much that his "star case" known as Enron, had every single charge thrown out by the courts, and was rebuked by the courts for openly lying and manufacturing evidence. I'd say you have more serious problems at hand. But it'll make a great story.
The governement was already not forbidding you. They were forcing your doctor to consult with the scientists running studies to make sure you were getting the best dose. Oh, and 0.1% of the time they said "those studies are going really bad, it's not an option.
Not true in the least. A friend of mine's grandfather was part of the phase one trials for using interferon for treating bladder cancer. That option was unavailable in the US, interferon was also reserved for AIDS patients and cases of critical immune deficiency. This was when he was living in the US, the various companies wanting to do this trial were outright refused certification. On the other hand, it was allowed in Canada. He got the treatment in Canada, he spent another ~25 years quite alive until he died of metastasized melanoma. His clinical trial in Canada happened in ~1993, the first phase clinical trial in the US happened in 2004(application for phase 1 in 99/00 if I remember right), it's just entering phase 2 trials in the US now.
Another example: There's several types of lung cancer treatments in Canada that aren't based on radiation or chemo therapy, but mainly RNA based. If you're in stage 3 or 4, you can get DNA testing of the tumor to and if it falls into the range that the drugs target you can automatically opt into the clinical testing. Canada and Europe are the only two in the west where this is allowed. These are people who have 5-12mo left to live, they're already the walking dead and have nothing left to lose.
The two primary story movies made over $3.5bn on direct sales alone, I don't think they are doing too badly. Much better than the prequels.
At least try to get your numbers right, there's plenty of articles on this. But "a new hope" cleared $6.8B all on it's own making it well rather dismal compared to the two new primary stories.
Anyway, you may get your wish now because everyone except Chewie is dead. I guess you don't like Ray... But really the EU characters are worse in terms of being Mary Sues and having ridiculous force powers.
Ray is by far the worst mary sue compared to anyone else. Within days she's a super-jedi being able to do anything and everything she thought she could do. She got everything on a platter, in the EU Leia spent years training. Their kids spent years training and in isolation from their parents for fear of the empire trying to corrupt them. Mara Jade was trained as a neophyte assassin, her and Luke's kids again years of training.
At least read a few of the books before looking like an idiot.
So let's see: As someone pointed out, money isn't coming from the new fans. And they pissed off the old fans to the point they don't want to see it. Imagine if they kept all the EU stuff as cannon, they could make hundreds of movies for the next 200 years and be rolling in the money. They'd have popular characters, with different plots, across an entire universe of a story. You'd see the various kids from the main characters, how they shaped the universe itself, changed the republic and on and on and on.
If you don't think a book to movie adaption would work, well there's plenty of book to movie shows that prove otherwise. Including TV shows. People wouldn't care 'how' their lives were mapped, but seeing 'how' it was brought to the screen and how they could share it with friends/family/other fans.
One day I would understand why people hate The Last Jedi, I really enjoyed it.
Let's say you're a SW fan. And you really liked the original movies, you tolerated the prequel movies. You read the occasional SW book because someone recommended it to you. You found out that there was a huge swath of lore, and you enjoyed it. One day you bumped into the Thrawn Trilogy, and discovered a series of books that not only had the feel of the original movies but tied them in directly and gave a great jumping off point into an even greater universe. You might have played some of the games if you were a bigger fan, you know it was Kyle Katarn that stole the death star plans and so on.
Now, imagine that despite this. Disney decided that this was a shit idea, and all those millions of fans that loved SW, the force, jedi, sith, grey jedi and all the rest weren't the fan base anymore. The fan base was apparently a group of authors and directors screeching that "the force is female" and inserting a die-hard mary-sue that was even greater then Luke into a role, and handing everything to her on a platter was great. The character was such a great-force user that even when Luke was rebuilding the Jedi he never-ever-ever felt her in the force(despite that's according to the cannon what happens with great force users) Then, despite this you gave it another chance. And in their infinite wisdom, they took the savior of the republic fleet and shot him in the head. Replaced them with an absolute nobody with no tie-ins at all, and instead of holding even the most basic working relationship with the troops and soldiers under her believed that 'only her plan was best.' The entire plan was "shoot the spaceship through another space ship." This was then followed up by taking a possibly interesting new villain and...well pissing on him with a flat emo-kid, and oh that's the end of the movie. Also Luke instead of growing up, reverted to a pouty 9 year old that prefers temper-tantrums.
And I'm going pretty easy on it compared to hardcore SW fans. Oh and of course, one can't forget the people who might piss you off even more. If you didn't like it, you were a misogynist, sexist, hater, and two or three dozen things. Despite the reviews from fans saying how much they hated the movie, your response wasn't to be introspective and ask "why didn't they like it" the response was "it was the work of trolls and misogynists" that's why the moving-going public reviews are bad. That of course is all out of the ghostbusters 2016 reboot catastrophe, with the "attack the audience" approach. I will say, that if they wanted to kill the entire franchise they've done a pretty good job.

Anyway, you may get your wish now because everyone except Chewie is dead. I guess you don't like Ray... But really the EU characters are worse in terms of being Mary Sues and having ridiculous force powers.
Ray is by far the worst mary sue compared to anyone else. Within days she's a super-jedi being able to do anything and everything she thought she could do. She got everything on a platter, in the EU Leia spent years training. Their kids spent years training and in isolation from their parents for fear of the empire trying to corrupt them. Mara Jade was trained as a neophyte assassin, her and Luke's kids again years of training.
At least read a few of the books before looking like an idiot.
So let's see: As someone pointed out, money isn't coming from the new fans. And they pissed off the old fans to the point they don't want to see it. Imagine if they kept all the EU stuff as cannon, they could make hundreds of movies for the next 200 years and be rolling in the money. They'd have popular characters, with different plots, across an entire universe of a story. You'd see the various kids from the main characters, how they shaped the universe itself, changed the republic and on and on and on.
If you don't think a book to movie adaption would work, well there's plenty of book to movie shows that prove otherwise. Including TV shows. People wouldn't care 'how' their lives were mapped, but seeing 'how' it was brought to the screen and how they could share it with friends/family/other fans.
One day I would understand why people hate The Last Jedi, I really enjoyed it.
Let's say you're a SW fan. And you really liked the original movies, you tolerated the prequel movies. You read the occasional SW book because someone recommended it to you. You found out that there was a huge swath of lore, and you enjoyed it. One day you bumped into the Thrawn Trilogy, and discovered a series of books that not only had the feel of the original movies but tied them in directly and gave a great jumping off point into an even greater universe. You might have played some of the games if you were a bigger fan, you know it was Kyle Katarn that stole the death star plans and so on.
Now, imagine that despite this. Disney decided that this was a shit idea, and all those millions of fans that loved SW, the force, jedi, sith, grey jedi and all the rest weren't the fan base anymore. The fan base was apparently a group of authors and directors screeching that "the force is female" and inserting a die-hard mary-sue that was even greater then Luke into a role, and handing everything to her on a platter was great. The character was such a great-force user that even when Luke was rebuilding the Jedi he never-ever-ever felt her in the force(despite that's according to the cannon what happens with great force users) Then, despite this you gave it another chance. And in their infinite wisdom, they took the savior of the republic fleet and shot him in the head. Replaced them with an absolute nobody with no tie-ins at all, and instead of holding even the most basic working relationship with the troops and soldiers under her believed that 'only her plan was best.' The entire plan was "shoot the spaceship through another space ship." This was then followed up by taking a possibly interesting new villain and...well pissing on him with a flat emo-kid, and oh that's the end of the movie. Also Luke instead of growing up, reverted to a pouty 9 year old that prefers temper-tantrums.
And I'm going pretty easy on it compared to hardcore SW fans. Oh and of course, one can't forget the people who might piss you off even more. If you didn't like it, you were a misogynist, sexist, hater, and two or three dozen things. Despite the reviews from fans saying how much they hated the movie, your response wasn't to be introspective and ask "why didn't they like it" the response was "it was the work of trolls and misogynists" that's why the moving-going public reviews are bad. That of course is all out of the ghostbusters 2016 reboot catastrophe, with the "attack the audience" approach. I will say, that if they wanted to kill the entire franchise they've done a pretty good job.
