Justin Timberlake is a Nazi?

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Justin Timberlake is a Palestinian as far as I'm concerned. He's become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He's not Jewish anymore. He's a Palestinian.

How “Captain America: Brave New World” Is Steadily Holding Its Ground at the Box Office

https://popviewers.com/captain-america-box-office-popviewers/

“Captain America: Brave New World” has hit theaters with a bang, but its box office journey has been full of unexpected twists. After a solid $100 million opening, things got tricky. The film faced stiff competition and mixed reviews, leading to a bit of a drop-off. Yet, despite these hurdles, it’s still making its mark, proving that there’s life in the franchise yet.

From its big debut to the challenges of keeping momentum, the film’s journey has been a financial rollercoaster. It faced a crowded box office, with new releases quickly taking over its top spot. But it still pulled off some impressive feats, like surpassing “Mickey 17” internationally and even outpacing the domestic totals of the first “Captain America” movie.

What’s more, “Brave New World” worked with a modest $180 million budget, which has given it more breathing room compared to other MCU films with bigger price tags. It’s not setting any records, but it doesn’t need to, and that’s the key to its success.

Critics haven’t been kind, with the movie scoring a low 48% on Rotten Tomatoes. But as we’ve seen with other films in the MCU, critical reception doesn’t always align with box office success. The audience score currently sits at 79%. Despite the struggles, “Brave New World” still manages to break new ground, especially with Anthony Mackie taking on the role of Captain America, marking a historic moment for representation.

In comparison to previous “Captain America” films, it’s clear the landscape has changed. While it’s outperformed the original “First Avenger” in terms of raw numbers, inflation and the growth of the MCU must be considered. The film may not be the highest-grossing MCU movie, but it’s holding its own and carving out its place in the Marvel legacy.

He can't do that! Someone tell Trump that only Era gets to lob slurs and insults at Jewish people for saying the wrong things!

You mean "Shmuck Schumer?"  I can insult his religion because I'm doing it because he doesn't support Palestine enough.  That's good.  

Trump is insulting his religion because he supports Palestine too much.  That's Bad.

Another fun day on Resetera

I'm dying alone.

I'm having to accept that there is no one out there, period. No friends, and certainly not the idea of ANYTHING more. The idea of going out with someone is setting my standards too high, and this is before questioning if i even like someone's existence.

I've spent the last few years focusing on my business/career to keep a roof over my head, and I've tried dating on the side. Sadly I'm fucking ugly, so that kills a lot of options for me. The most I can get is being stood up for sushi.

It's defeating to know that, even at my best, no matter what, i'm worthless. My whole life is utterly meaningless. At this point, the idea of being stabbed and bleeding out is a much happier version of the rest of my life than whatever toxic optimism anyone can provide. The next time I have to hear anyone lie and tell anyone that "there's someone out there for you" or "you have so much to live for", that's an automatic punch to the face.

I'm just tired with nowhere else to turn with no solutions and coming to realize suicide is the only effective one

Don't get me wrong, I am fairly certain I've been guilty of the above as well. But... why? Why does this happen? Psychologically. Rather be right than be quiet?

It gets better

Look, I don't know you but that's absolute bullshit. I felt the exact same way about myself and was convinced I had no value and I'd be unloved forever. It took some time but I am no longer like that. My life is not perfect by any means but I can look back at my self-hatred from five years ago and it feels almost alien to the person I am now.

Dating is rarely easy. And it's extra hard to find love when you can't even find self-love. Get new hobbies, go to the gym or start hiking, eat better and most importantly, spend less time on the internet. It's so easy to wallow in negativity when you're not exposed to new positive real life interactions.

Start small and welcome new experiences and people into your life. You'll be surprised how easy it can be to love yourself when you give yourself a chance.

Also, you should watch a movie that came out last year called A Different Man if you legitimately think you're too ugly to find love (spoilers: no one is too ugly to find love)

I've heard this rancid schpiel of toxic horseshit more than enough in my lifetime, and it's mostly why i'm fucking tired of hearing it. I'm at the apex of what I can be, I've been trying for somewhere between months and years just to realize that it will never be enough.

I'm half surprised you also don't suggest I blow thousands of rent money on a Quack Therapist as well.

You're the absolute WORST.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/dying-alone.1132800/

You're lying.

What you're saying here is that your life is meaningless and you're worthless if you can't have someone but that's the sole condition you're establishing. It's not toxic optimism to say that your life is meaningless which is why it's on you to give it meaning in the first place. You've just limited the meaning to having someone to fuck and spend time with. And if you can't have that, possibly the lowest standard for a human life anyone can have, then you might as well unalive yourself.

And you're right. If that's all you want from life then it's probably worth just skipping to the ending since you don't want to give it any meaning beyond mandating that someone else give it meaning simply by existing for your use.

But you didn't want me to tell you you're right, you wanted the opposite but you were lying to try and fish for compliments and telling you you're wrong so you can reject them and say it's everyone else's fault for not giving your life meaning. Confirming the problem exactly as you wanted. Sorry, be the change the you seek.

Although typical for Mercante and Zeo to try spin this into something about Asmongold or whatever, meanwhile the people who are really dangerous are the kind of stalker fans who think they're in love with the streamer

Shouldn't Rolling Stone disclose that the author of this piece is currently in the middle of using harassment via the legal system to silence critics who say accurate things about her? And has threatened not only this but actual violence against people who repeat things she herself has said?

We are marginalized people that everyone else wants to eradicate as their only wish in life. These genocidal fascists have acquired complete power and are actively preparing the camps as we speak. There is nothing stopping them from achieving their mass murdering dreams. We should antagonize them with violence over the slightest thing to show them just how wrong they are and how much they should fear us for we victims are on the right side of history. Their consumer choices are the ideal place to begin this process of liberation for us from capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy. #SnowWhiteInTheatersMarch21

Regarding upcoming Xenoblade X DE reviews
Discussion
Hey everyone!

I wanted to say that, more often than some would believe, reviewers make mistakes, and sometimes, they, or at least aggregate sites, are willing to do corrections. Case in point, back on the release of Xenoblade 3, I noticed that IGN Spain released a review that was a full on copy of the US branch, just translated to Spanish (yeah, they did that), and gave the same score, 8, which is below the game´s average, and both the US and the Spain reviews were counting separately on metacritic. After I noticed that I found the email contact of metacritic team and warned them about, and they replied and rectified, dropping the IGN Spain from the aggregate.

About more than a week ago, a Turkish website broke embargo review on XDE and sent a review to open critic, so basically a full month before the game release and quite before official embargo, and at that point, review codes were sent at max one week before, meaning that they clammed to have enough to make assessment of that massive game that fast. I contacted opencritic through email and they removed the review from the system and notified the reviewers about embargo. I also notified Nintendo about that.

I recall a review for the original X by theEnemy that claimed that "unlike 1, X does not have a positional element in battle" which is obviously wrong, as X has positional arts and even relative height has an effect in battle, so I managed to call that review out.

All that is to say that sometimes it is worth to call out when you see errors or false information in reviews or aggregates, as sometimes you may be listened.

As for why bother doing that? it is because, for still growing franchises like Xenoblade, review scores and media appraisal has an great impact on sales. XDE was unfortunately not even featured in a direct, and would certainly appreciate an extra push sales wise. So do call out when you seem errors, even in previews, as that may help.

ps: you can find video game portals contact information on the "contact us" usually at the bottom of their page. You can also always post comments on their articles and youtube videos. And don't wait for the reviews! You can do that right now for the previews and articles, predicting the kind of errors they may make in the final review!
