Who else dreads this year?

Politics IRL aside, how will 2020 affect the western entertainment industry? They almost all really want that “Wider Audience” no matter how much money they lose

How much worse do you guys think it could get? I hear that supposedly they’re trying to backtrack on the WOKENESS, even Gilette but I think even with $8Billion loss, someone in marketing will do it again

I can see doubling down so that's when alternatives spring up for people who don't like it to latch on to. Though one video I watched is the current style of cartoons is not as popular so the anime style of it is gaining traction.

Perhaps despite it money will be made but time will eventually tell the outcome and it is no one's ally but it's own. Nothing lasts forever.

You referring to CalArts style? Frankly, if they’re gonna do cartoons I’d pay the guy who made Samurai Jack or the guys responsible for Hollow Knight

People really need to pay to learn this CalArts? Frankly I’ve seen guys on DeviantArt draw better

Sort of it's the current cartoons Western animation uses isn't it?

Granted there's others but they're the ones that come to mind for kids to watch.

I guess there was star wars Resistance but it's only two seasons so not as popular as clone wars.

I'm going to put on my Carnac the Magnificent hat and make a prediction.
~Trump wins reelection in 2020.
~The Republicans hold the Senate and 50/50 odds of them retaking the HoR.
~The Left experiences a collective aneurysm of rage going off into weeks of violent bloody and damaging 'protests' in certain hotspots around the nation, that will make the post-2016 election 'protests' look like a ladies auxiliary garden party.
~National Guard will have to be deployed to several cities to quell the riots.

That's all I got right now, I just think it's going to get bloody for no damned good reason.

Okay, that said, gonna expect another wave of vids regarding their idiocy, sometimes involving youtubers actually reading their articles and watching their vids without even needing to edit or cut out or take things out of context

That salt is going to be archived for future viewing I'm certain. One thing in retrospect is how hypocritical it looks with the salt. Used to remember when Obama got elected there was images of Republican tears of a jug poured into a cup being gleefully posted. Now the current salt is the reverse.

If someone sincerely believes that life starts at conception, why is it unreasonable to call abortion murder?

Because thats not a rational position to hold, And while yes it would never be murder by the legal definition thats not why. At conception there is almost zero difference between that zygote and any other cell other than it being where reproduction starts. But by that same token, menstruation is ALSO murder, or men having a nightly emission is MASS murder at the level were talking about, which is basically a single cell.

Edit: Sorry for responding so late, I just got off work.

That is factually not true, because the embryo is the recombinated human being with the final DNA that determines all characteristics and lays in growth, assuming sufficient energy is provided, inexorably until adulthood. It is a fully written computer programme if you will; it need only be played to completion. There is nothing lacking from a fertilised embryo. That is a profound difference from the egg and sperm, absolutely profound.

I think it helps that The Right is transforming, when Western Leftists do the “Walk-Away” they still have some of their beliefs regarding tolerance and making sure people are cared for, except they don’t believe Diversity-Hires and Tax-Increasing-Welfare is the way to do it

Instead its just letting people into jobs based on merit and charities that are the answer for them

Plus, the Moral Guardian types look to be of the older generations. If anything sex&violence SELL, do NOT censor that stuff for the sake of the economy!!!

Explain how we aren't functioning then. I say we have a functioning government with parties who, hate each other though they may, generally cooperate with each other and don't veer that far off the cliffs of crazy (huzzah for mandatory voting).

Am I wrong to state that, and if so, how?

I never said you weren't functioning; America is functioning, if only barely. I said your country (whatever it is, because you haven't elaborated on that as far as I'm aware) is not "sane"; because any country with an overton window shifted so far to the left, that AOC is considered anything other than a far-left extremist, isn't sane.

Now, if you want me to point out some specific way in which your country fails, I can oblige you, but really; I was mostly focusing on the whole "By say european or australian standards she's maybe a bit to the left of the centre left." thing.

I feel education standards has a part in it too from what I hear that and possibly family dynamic too.

It can be said education if structured poorly can brainwash (debatable but depends on people's perspective) you without preparing you to understanding your Civic duty or managing your life as an adult.

Family has lots of circumstances but they can influence how one can think too.

I await the day we replace schools and colleges with the internet, cheaper and you could choose to only learn STEM stuff

I confess I await the day we raise Mentats, instead of slaves to the Machine.

That’ll be real fucking expensive and people will suffer in the meanwhile due to not all being Mentats or having access to them

Mastery of the Flesh is just as important as Mastery of the Steel, can even help one another

Could go that way considering colleges aren't seen very highly to get into unless someone needs a specific paper to say they're certified for this job.

I now am reminded of my hate for job applications that require psychometric testing.

That was an allusion for saying I hoped to strengthen the independent thought of the human mind, not weaken it.

Not really, its just two cells combined into one, but at conception its not really much of a difference. Its not even guaranteed that the embryo will survive to even be noticed, its not profound, there is zero need to add any mystical quality or importance on an embyro.

I would worry for your ignorance of metaphysics were it not for the fact that your lack of knowledge of reproduction astounds me.

do you know what the requirement for "single living organism" is?

it's a collection of cells with the same DNA which are communicating. By that standard, the standard used in Science and for deciding World Records, you are objectively wrong. The single celled embryo has different DNA.
