Find the most elaborate church in your neighbourhood, picture it, then draw it.

It's ridiculous Ireland doesn't have legal abortion yet. It was baffling to see anti-abortion protests and signs when I was in Dublin. Keeping it illegal does not accomplish anything. It's stupid and should be removed.
You should see the shite either side has been pumping out of the mills. Apart from the "against God" themes, there's some "that child could've developed a cancer cure" and "you wouldn't murder this (picture of 3 month old smiley baby), so why this? (Foetus)" The pro-choice has come up with shite rather than some reasonable arguments for it, but it's a lot less memorable.

Eh. I've done it before for a mock UN and to present my own analysis work, but fuck I hate talking about it. The best part is the end and no one has questions.
In spite of this and that I find it nerve-wracking, I've been told I'm good at it, so at least someone likes what I was talking about.

I feel like Catalonia fucked themselves over a bit. They were basically their own nation minus a few things, and now they're not going to get that at all.
who knows this could end with them getting what they want
Well the Nazis and Franco ain't around to help now. Yugo-spanic wars when?

It's a bit stupid since people who are going to have abortions regardless of the law in Ireland will have them in the UK. It has been done for some time now.
Since you can't just drop down and get it free on the NHS, you're stuck with private services, which restricts who actually gets one through an artificial barrier. The poor get fucked, other than literally, and then have to take care of a child they thought they weren't capable of. One life created, more often then not two lives ruined.
Rights of unborn children has been quite conservative in all regards in Ireland. There was a case a few years ago about a braindead woman being refused the right to die on the basis that she had a 6 month fetus. Don't know how it turned out.
Haven't heard of that case. Was she an Irish citizen? you're up North, right? I assume abortion is legal over there?
Heard it a while back, so after a quick google search I found some of my details were off; https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/braindead-pregnant-woman-kept-on-life-support-31550989.htmlWestmeath, so a Republic citizen. Her life support was eventually turned off, but only on the court's basis that the fetus wouldn't survive to full-term anyway. Wouldn't matter much where in Ireland she's from though, as NI bans abortions as well iirc. I was in the South but now that I've moved, it doesn't personally affect me. Still, gotta have some pride in my country, and some shame when this old shite's still banging around.

It's alright if you stick to lurking.
Get all the info you can, then get out before you see the comments.
The real pro tip is in the comments.
Ahh yes, but not when it's some gif or interesting that doesn't really warrant dad-joke-tier comments.

This poll won't satisfy your pre-determined answer in your head.
It won't give you a leg up or a "told you so" scenario.
It won't reverse everything that's already been stolen from you.
Let it go man.

Go ask that weird creep deci-lookalike that arrived a while back and see if he still wants us.

watch the movie again you didn’t pay attention to the weird details the movie leaves behind
also watch the directors cut I think? it has a different ending
ehhhh does the director's cut really add to it or just make you question deckard's humanity?
Theatrical beats you over the head with the plot and Deckard's detective work via VO, omits the unicorn dream and has a generic "driving off into the sunset" ending, as well as a few other details. Ironically while it serves the plot on a platter, the hints that Deckard may not be human aren't really developed. Iirc the escape scene deals with the fact he left Rachel alive rather than them both being replicants. Director's and Final cut have little differences to each other apart from a few CGI improvements, colour filtering, and their format (originally the Director's Cut was VHS, and lower quality, while Final Cut got better quality through advances in film restoration on DVD/Bluray, and some bonus features). If you get confused, go back and watch it again at some point. If you're still totally stuck, find a theatrical copy and watch it because all the detective work is explained with a jarring VO, or read the plot on Wkipedia.

I ordered the DVD's of both Bladerunner and 2049 after watching. I've seen 'em both, but there was some nifty plot in there. The cinematography was beautiful, and had little references and elements here and there of the old Bladerunner but without being too similar. Close enough, but not The Force Awakens to A New Hope close, if that makes sense. Best film of this year. Star Wars better at least be as close as good in December. EDIT: Just watched through the making-of documentar from 2007 ( Dangerous Days; Making Bladerunner if anyone's interested) of the original Bladerunner, and one of the proposed intros during writing/stroyboard heavily influenced, if not is, the intro to 2049. The whole boiling pot of soup in the farmer's kitchen, and that short scene's plot. Even more little references than before. Spoiler Even the frickin' dog!

What even is this thread.
Oh, thats what people are calling "dark corner of internet".
Sounds like two sides of an argument going through Google translate to insult each other, with one being slightly illiterate.

Vikings by definition would have came as raiders or conquerors.
They raided abbeys and churches in the UK and Ireland for hundreds of years, slaughtered a shit ton of people and then took back the women, or just raped them then and there. As a result we have Ireland's capital (Dublin, coming from the Gaelic Dubh Linn, or Blackpool because it was a swampy bog until vikings settled there), several coastal towns around Britain, and some leftover traces of Nordic genes in the population. Benevolent they ain't, but influential on the future of both countries. The Saxons had to ward them off in the North before getting to Hastings and dealing with William (the future Conqueror of Britain). Everyone generally sees the Romans in a positive light, but then in Britain alone they nearly eradicated the Celtic languages and culture. They made roads and Bath though, so it's all good.

the most disgusting aspect is he's letting his bare skin touch a mcdonald's floor
More like the thin film of grease that layers the place. That's why his spazzed movements on the floor were so jerky, he was slippin'.

Saw 2049 and enjoyed it a lot. Definitely deserves a second viewing.
Agreed, but I have one misgiving;
Spoiler What happened to the dog?
Doggo didn't need Deckard; Deckard needed Doggo
Really my only gripe with the film is
Spoiler that the entire revolution plot came out of nowhere and didn't really add anything to the story except a way to tell K that he isn't Rachel's son. Apparently they all believed they could be the child, but none of them thought to look for whomever created and implanted that memory, which would have immediately led them to her like it did for K. Overall, that was just a really hamfisted way to tell the audience that everything isn't completely fucked for the replicants, which really hadn't been addressed at all.
Spoiler Maybe it's left as a precursor to another Bladerunner film? Wallace still exists, he can keep making replicants (albeit not reproduce), and other replicants will keep learning of the miracle.

Apparently the rapey scene was supposed to be a longer scene that was a romantic build up until Deckard became more of a brutish animal as shown, but it got cut because it took too long and messed with the pacing, so it stayed out and what was a more acceptable "passionate" scene in the 80's got a rapey vibe now.
Fun fact, the weird language the police guy and the locals use is supposedly a mishmash of the most common languages on Earth as the idea was the future would be more global than national, doing away with language barriers (although English seems to exist just fine), and that the whole global warming and climate change would've forced different cultures and language groups together forcing them to get along, if they couldn't leave Earth because they were too poor/disabled. Why they decided to conglomerate in LA is anybody's guess.

Finale was probably the most boring.
Tales from the Citadel and the premiere were the best imo.

Not one myself, but it's probably something along these lines;  Kinda ignores that some police in the US do have access to military vehicles and other gear that's not capable of "glassing" an area and more along the lines of wiping out a house full of insurgents, as well as having reserves or the actual military troops that would likely be patrolling towns in such a scenario, but meh.
