You're hallucinating. I didn't link shit. TFS did:

"The forecast was recorded in 2014 as part of a campaign coordinated by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) that invited about 60 presenters worldwide to imagine a weather report from the year 2050. In one clip [...]"

Just go back to sucking Greta's clit whilst pretending to care about science. You've wasted enough of my time.

No, you're the cunt. What a lovely level of discourse you've dragged us down to.

You stated that Michael Bay movies aren't poorly written.
It shows why you're the problem: Because you are hellbent on refusing the notion that some movies and games are mostly created to increase representation etc. and that the writing takes a back seat to that, you paint yourself into the corner of defending the writing of Michael Bay movies. Look up 'opportunity cost'. Explain _why_ movies like Shehulk or the female version of Ghostbusters were made.

You stated that Hollywood has always been 'woke', yet older movies and other media nowadays sometimes come with trigger warnings for being offensive or have the 'offensive' stuff removed altogether. Putting the handful of 'woke' movies from back then on the same level as the ubiquitous presence of it in the most visible franchises nowadays as a result of a very explicit push to change things in a certain way (Kathleen Kennedy and "The force is female", anyone?) is just being willfully ignorant. There are plenty initiatives to promote "the message" and very often they don't give a fuck about the thing it is injected in. That thing is merely a convenient/popular vehicle for the message (even if it is sometimes also just companies thinking they can make money riding the zeitgeist) and thus is treated as secondary: keeping the universe sensible doesn't matter.

What you fail to understand is that your absolutist neopuritannical stance is for a significant part responsible for people not wanting to vote for leftwing parties anymore (besides the normal shitload of xenophobia and selfishness). The only response to reasonably made points about very mild grievances is to immediately call the people making them dumb, cunts, racist, misogynist, etc. and dismiss anything they have to say with increasingly nonsensical arguments. I hate seeing people from what I consider to be 'my side' act like this and help create an environment where actual cunts like Trump and Farage come onto power.

You mean the point the video itself makes? You know, the first thing that I quoted? "Because we have already seen these temperatures before."

Why can't people argue the fucking point anymore, jesus. It just immediately goes into kneejerk tribal bullshit spewing. I'm not ypur fucking enemy. I haven't gotten a single sensible response that engaged with my very neutrally stated point.

Then also do not respond to a comment that explicitly makes a point about a video, you dumb fuck.

Thanks for repeating your fallacies. I never said what you claim I said. Quote me, bitch.

I'm not sure that is a different problem. It is definitely a symptom, though. The concept of having to overcome your own inadequacies and failures is a classic element of character arcs that work and thus having that in your writing is considered (pretty) good, or rather that the lack of it is bad writing. As you indicate: it becomes very predictable if the character just always succeeds at everything or is just always straight up evil.

I would go even further than that and say that some of the best writing has characters that at all times simultaneously have a slew of good and bad characteristics, with good people sometimes doing bad things and bad people sometimes doing good things. It's much harder to write than just "This is the good character, so she can and will never do anything wrong" if you want those things to also make sense and have a purpose within the story.

Having said that, there are exceptions to the above that can get away with fairly one-dimensional characters and still be very good. One of my favorite movies, Fargo (1996) has a strong female lead that is just a straight up goody two shoes, competent in all cases. Almost all the antagonists are also pretty much cartoon characters with regard to their depth. Nevertheless, the movie very much gets away with it due to its quirkiness and the juxtaposition of crime and adorable normalcy.

Exactly, but the problems start when "the message" becomes more important than good writing. It's like with Michael Bay movies: you expect the focus to be on "cool action scenes and explosions", not on the story, because you know where the priorities lie.

In 'woke' movies it is often the case that even if an action does not make sense in the story or universe it is still put in because it paints the character in a certain way that furthers "the message", usually very much on a moral level (very roughly: any 'minority'/'oppressed' character == very good, old white dude == very bad).

Mind you, I have no idea if this holds for this Supergirl-movie. It sounds like it could suffer from hamfisted 'woke' writing, but it could also just be everyday shit writing.

In any case I would argue against dismissing everything with a woman (/etc.) in it as 'woke crap' and similarly also argue against dismissing everybody using the word woke as "too dumb to articulate why" or misogynist/racist/somethingphobe.

You're attacking a straw man, a belief I explicitly said I do not hold. My point is about the crappy level of journalism, not that this heatwave is the same as the one in 2003.

Set aside your tribalism and blind rage and engage with my point.

No need to get snarky. My point was and is that TFA/TFS implies that the video was some apocalyptic prediction of 2050 that nobody thought would come true before then, but that the prediction is actually quite close to a situation that occurred 23 years ago as presented in the video, thereby counterproductively sensationalizing reality.

Ignoring the negative effects of bad journalism like this is almost as stupid as ignoring the negative effects of climate change.

Look at the video, TFA/TFS, and my point again and reevaluate objectively what I said, then engage with my point rather than the easy strawman of climate deniers.

Actually, the video literally contains these captions:
"Besides, we have already experienced these temperatures. Remember the 2003 heatwave in France. Here are some of the temperatures recorded then: up to 42 degrees in Gourdon and Carpentras, even 44 degrees in Gard, and this was an all-time record."

Which makes this line from TFS sound stupid: "But it turns out, it didn't take 36 years for those imagined temperatures to be reached"

Don't get me wrong: I'm not a climate-denier. I'm just saying that this video doesn't support the story very well and pretending it does is bad journalism. I would argue that actual climate-deniers would rather see it as proof that this heat is nothing special, because it was similar in 2003. In that sense, this kind of reporting is probably achieving the opposite of what it intended to do.

Or RTFS.

Anyway, LEO drones with tasers are probably less than 2 years away. Ain'tnoway the Trump administration or the Republicans will prevent that from happening. If anything, they'll cheer it on and propose guns mounted on the drones instead.

Apparently, yes:
"Stricter air quality regulations [had] the side effect of contributing to global warming, as [aerosols] have a cooling effect by reflecting sunlight and making clouds more reflective. "

Generally, yes. It may make some sense for aerodynamic winged drones, but those generally just use some type of gasoline / jet fuel.
It could make sense for race or other high speed drones like interceptors, where aerodynamic drag is a big factor.

For consumer electronics the legal requirement that batteries must be user replaceable renders this idea dead in the water in the entire EU.

Canoeist?? Clearly a Canadian commie spy! Real Americans travel such waters by jetski!

Didn't you hear? Antifas/Dumocrats/Wokeists are dumping the algae in the pool during the night and tearing up the perfect paint job to make Trump look bad.
(I wish this was something I made up)
