Enlighten me, cause I don't get it.
What he's trying to say is that he didn't hurt anyone physically.

Much like sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Which is a terrible saying IMO, words are incredibly powerful, society couldn't function without communication, hell, people themselves hardly can. Words mean almost everything to us.

I've literally never heard that before.
Its a rewrite. I forgot the actual saying.

But my point stands.

Words can be powerful. But Jon's aren't. He doesn't have the standing to have a powerful say in most matters- especially political.

I'd argue you're wrong. Who's Jon's main audience? Teens. If nobody calls you out on something bad that you're doing, you wouldn't think it's bad. Teens are easily influenced, hence all the 'nudes sent to stranger on skype' stories as it's something psychological. There's a chance they see this and start agreeing because nobody is standing up to it

Its an expression. Did Jon kill anyone?

No.

So again, I really don't care. There's always going to be some form of hatred in the world. Its only when lives are being claimed because of hatred should we care.

But that's just my opinion.
I'm sorry, but who the hell are you to say what other people should and shouldn't care about? I'd say it's important to care BEFORE it comes to something like that. You know, so lives aren't taken in the first place.

It is not a good saying. Words are not swords, but words are far worse than a sword. Physical pain will hurt, but eventually heal. Mental/Soul/etc Pain, however, will not only hurt and take a long time to heal, but it's very easy to make the wound even bigger and harder to heal. What's more, a sword can only strike so far. Words, however, have no limit to how far they can go.

Can someone please explain me what's happening with JonTron?

He had a debate with some guy.

Jon said some questionable statements.

Some highlights include:

  • There is no discrimination in America
  • "the global elite"
  • Blacks commit more crimes in the US due to African culture

Twas a mess.

So... Breath of the Wild.

Ten days having stared at my Switch playing Zelda for 13 hours (still haven't connected it to a TV lol), I can confidently say it's my favorite addition to the series and an amazing experience. It is as big and beautiful as it was hyped to be--it's kinda amazing how it didn't disappoint considering. It's like this is the most different yet most true Zelda all at the same time. Although in the Korok Forest, and when using Stasis in busy areas, the game definitely became slow/choppy, probably because I elected to stay handheld.

I don't even know where to begin. The dungeons, they were short and simple, but the entry and mechanics were all so different from generic forest-lava-ice-water temples. My only complaint is that with the bird divine beast, the first I got into, I went through it without even realizing the map functionally existed, when the others were definitely impossible if you didn't make use of the controls. Also the bosses, they were pushovers, but they were still cool--and that includes Calamity Ganon. Hopefully we keep getting quality over quantity in the future.

The 120 trials were rewards in themselves, and it was so refreshing to do puzzles, again, still really simple 99% of the time, but they were dynamic. Multiple ways of doing any one thing, because everything is physics based. For that reason, it sucks that so many of them were the same thing--and by that I mean the combat trials. Really wish there were fewer or they were changed up more. Every time I came upon these I felt let down because I enter curious to see what's inside.

The durability concept also kept the game mostly evolving, especially from the get-go. An issue of previous Zelda games I've had were that they didn't require thinking in combat and I was just going through the motions. But now I'm keeping track of what I have, what I can get from drops, and how many precious arrows I have (seriously, they were a bit overpowered, if I had to start over again I'd be buying up arrows every chance I get). This aspect really drops off towards the end though, with expanded inventories and tools that last longer, but still always better than nothing.

And most of all, the world... the people, it all had just so much life. NPCs moved based on time, weather, spoke differently if you have or done various things, spoke about other people, often changed their dialogue if you keep pestering them. Enemies even did all sorts of things based on the circumstances--my favorite thing was to wear the monster masks and get them following me around like an entourage. The lizalfos are so cute trying to "talk" to you with their tongue flapping out. :laugh:

Definitely getting the DLC, no question. Would recommend it to anyone despite the lack of difficulty... though that isn't to say I still didn't find ways to die, because that actually happened a lot haha. Little things could be nitpicked, like Korok summoning being repetitive and other such little things, but it doesn't stop this from being a masterpiece in my eyes. There's so much more I could say, but this post is already way too big as is.

There was a problem fetching the tweet
For those who need further explanation, the guy wh's most likely to direct Man of steel 2 actually KNOWS what people like about Supes
I see two things happening here.

1. The DCEU actually has a REALLY GOOD superhero film.

Or

2. Warner Brother's executive meddling makes him quit the project due to creative differences and the released version sucks.

Call it pessimistic but I think the latter's more likely. :/

I'm hoping he does a First Class with it.

Plus there's the issue of whether they keep Snyder for the JL films. Because then you have Superman in the DCEU having an inconsistent character because Snyder doesn't get Superman at all.

Snyder doesn't get any character at all. Why worry about character development when you have a dark story and moping! That's how I imagine his directorial brain operates.

Alright. I'll bow to that. Going back to my point, I was speaking mostly about me personally. I trailed off and went to my personal opinion of how the world should be. That was wrong. I apologize.

In short, I don't care. Jon can say what he says and it doesn't effect me. That was my point to begin with but again, but I trailed off.
I'm sorry, but who the hell are you to say what other people should and shouldn't care about?
I even said it was an opinion.

The biggest problem with Zack Snyder is that he doesn't know how to tell a good story:

Frankly I always thought the former impossible, but I have hope goddammit
It helps I saw something relating to Supes the other day which pierced my heart. In a comic he stops an out of control train or something and hears someoneon a phone talking to someone called Regan and the guy was distressed. Here are the panels that followed
Christ. I was never a big Supes fan, then the Justice League cartoon warmed me up to him and this. It's pretty powerful imo

But why have a good story when you can have Batman getting ***** in prison?*


*That's something Hack Snyder actually wanted to do

Ah, I see what you mean now. Still, it's just that it sounds terrible out of the context of you not knowing what he said. Because what he said is pretty disgusting, among other stupid and dangerous ideas(many already mentioned here.), he's said that a multiracial society can't exist and that immigration is the equivalent of Native American genocide.

And I don't see why people wouldn't stand against that, I'm very glad his own fanbase is. Especially with how big his following is and how young and easily influenced some of his viewers are.

Okay I just saw a compilation of **** Jon said and this has to be the stupidest thing of all
Why does an economy have to keep growing forever? People don't need gadgets all the time.
I...I learned about economics when I was 13. How the **** does this guy NOT know what a growing economy's benefits are?

I need context, last leak thing I heared was about the CIA allegedly being able to spy on people using TVs but conveniently enough, nobody mentioned the CIA would need to physically install it into a TV with a flashdrive

Superman is supposed to be the best that humanity can be.

Making him broody and morally broken takes away his entire being.

Not to say he can't be sad or angry or have faults.

But at the end of the day, he's always on the side of justice.

Again I personally don't care. Jon is still the Jon I knew yesterday. He just said something bad. That's how I view it. If you feel you should stand against it, go ahead. I'll be back here ****posting like usual.

I'm not going any further because I clarified my point enough.

I'll link Philip DeFranco's thing on it, he's kind of neutral on it

Okay, I want the thread's answer to something
http://www.strawpoll.me/12523756
What do I watch now that I finished Agito? I don't care about length, just pick which show sounds better

Ehhhhhh I'm on the gamepad and already watching something
The thing is, the CIA wouldn't need to physically install anything into your TV because even the best smart device has flaws in it and the CIA have been exploiting them. As long as they're connected to wifi or the internet in a physical way the CIA can install Malware on them, including a program they call "Weeping Angel" which makes it so that when you turn your TV off, if could really be a fake off mode and can record conversations. The CIA have some of the best hacking technology in the world

Unfortunately, the CIA decided to share that technology with some of our allies. And because of that it's gotten out and now not even they know who has it. Probably our enemies

So, in essence the CIA has handed the ability for our enemies to spy on citizens.

But, luckily some of the companies making smart devices have been working to fix the flaws now that the information on them has been released

Actually, there's a very complicated way to get rid of the Weeping Angel thing
Step 1: Unplug the TV
Congratulations, it's no longer a Doctor Who baddie!

Well yeah, but until it was leaked you had no way of even knowing about it's existence. That's the importance of the leak.

I actually don't have a smart tv so, lol, that's how I inadvertently got around that

I'm the only one here besides Frosty-Senpai that has watched both seasons of BSD so I doubt it'll win. Why even make a strawpoll?

Wikileaks was the leaker, right? Because they were the ones who revealed that's possible to the enemies imo. Not to mention they wanted to doxx everyone who was verified on twitter, the *****

The enemies already had the technology

It was leaked to the public by "patriots" in the CIA so the public can know about what's going on

I use quotations because that's what they said.
