It's funny how you bring up other nations, considering Japan has had no lock down, completely bungled their handling of the virus and they're not any worse off than most countries. Also could you please come up with new material other than forced soijack memes? You're getting awfully stale.
Flattening the curve does not mean a return to normality. It means that hospitals have the proper capacity to accommodate patients. South Korea and Ontario have reduced measures and recently seen a big spike in covid cases. If you think the end is in sight you haven't been paying attention.
I swear, America is a third world country with a Gucci belt. "100,000 deaths? Irrelevant, so long as I can CONSOOM product and move on to next CONSOOMABLE product." https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/22/from-near-disaster-to-success-story-how-japan-has-tackled-coronavirusMasks are a common sight during the winter flu season, and in spring among people with hay fever. The custom of bowing rather than shaking hands or hugging, generally high standards of personal hygiene, and the removal of shoes when entering homes have all been held up as possible explanations for Japan’s low infection rate. Next time pick a better example.

besides, America is fucking huge. We were always going to have a raw death toll only surpassed by china.
But you look at statistics per capita and we're doing better than Sweden and Belgium and almost twice as good as the UK.
China isn't even in the top 10 in respect to death toll. Europe as a continent has a combined death toll pretty much on par with the US, a singular country. What is the comparison you're trying to make here?

Hair salons have been open since Mother's Day and Florida has not had an explosion of cases. We have been on the downward end of the curve for a while now and the point of the lock down was never to drop infection rates to zero; it was to "flatten the curve" as everyone likes to keep saying. So when are we going to get this massive explosion of new cases that's going to make the state of Florida look foolish? Another two weeks? Yeah, I haven't heard that one before.
Unless you have a magical Covid crystal ball, it's going to be very hard to determine that and if indeed you passed anything on to anyone.
I find it weird how people still think viruses are transmitted by sneezing directly into someone's face. You could have been asymptomatic and been a spreader just by walking within 6 feet of someone. Authorities didn't just invent social distancing because they wanted to fuck with your freedumbs. Flattening the curve does not mean a return to normality.

no, people are just supposed to drop dead when you walk within five feet of them, that's how it works
Le 100,000 death toll face.

I've been contemplating this topic a lot lately. Partially due to having absolutely fuck all to do and a lot of discussion here about college enrolment. My question here is; which holds more value? Personally, I hold a lot of contempt for academia as I wasted a good 3 years of my life after being pigeonholed in high school to do to a degree. But then again, it's also partially my fault for not staking out the territory more and taking my time to figure out which path I want to take. I've also learned a lot more on the Internet and the sheer volume of information it holds than I ever have during my tenure at uni. That's not to say that I don't think academia has absolutely no merit in society. Obviously qualifications are required to evidence your competency levels and the capacity to fulfil a specialised role. But does society place too much emphasis on a college degree? Can a person become an educated and intelligent individual without having to enrol into tertiary education?

For what it's worth I also enjoyed Animatrix, but not entirely sure that counts considering the canon is based on a previously established western movie.
Plus I only really enjoyed 2 episodes; Second Renaissance part I and II.

Is it the art? The language? The concepts being put forward? I seriously cannot comprehend the fascination behind this art form.
I have given most of the so called revered series and movies a fair viewing and I cannot tolerate any of them for the life of me. The characterisation comes off as alien to me, and a lot of the dialogue choices are just bizarre. Maybe there's a translation disconnect between Japanese and English or maybe I'm just straight up missing something.
The only one I can find somewhat approachable is Akira, but apparently it's entry level pleb filter to most fans, or so I've heard.
What is it that you find so engaging?

This cockwomble Cummings has somehow managed to rally Tory backbenchers, Labour, SNP, Piers Morgan, The Daily Mail, The Sun and the rest of the right wing press against Boris and his entourage.

Getting real fucking tired of the end the lockdown crowd using mental health as some thinly vieled excuse for a return to normality. As if you ever gave a micro granule of a shit about it before.
I'd have more respect for you if you just admitted you want the lockdown over so you can go back to being CONSOOMERS. ALL I CAN DO IS CONSOOM.

(although suicide is on the rise but no one wants to mentions that). Why do you lolbertarians all of a sudden now care about mental health problems and suicide? Where was this outpour of concern before? Literally no one has or had a problem mentioning this or bringing it up, so I don't even know what that fucking means. It's only now that a pandemic is affecting your life that the curtains have been raised for you? Fuck off. Take your feigning sympathies elsewhere.

idk why you guys bitch and moan about him (or her, not been keeping up to date with the whole pronoun drama) when you literally funnel attention directly into his (or her) ego.
You're all literally those Karen's who complain to the airline about not having social distancing policies on a fucking aircraft when they're the very asshats contributing to the problem. Stop. Flying.

Ay Tone, you heard about this Covid shit? Poysonally, I think Trump is got a lid on it. He's a stand up guy. I wash my hand three fuckin times a day, you don't gotta tell me nothin about that shit.

Wow what a garbage piece.
The author could have just saved themselves the time with a quick "I dislike transwomen" sentence instead of trying to sugarcoat it up with feminist chatter to make themselves appear more academic.

I never understood people who hated a map so much that they close out the entire game.
Did you never play on Snowbound?
Never could understand the fervent hate for that map. The Covenant building interiors made for some pretty decent CQC fights. It's nothing special but I wouldn't go sperging out a game over it.

Can someone explain Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2O49 because I really don't understand how people love them so much
For me, 2049 is a thematically sharp, technically immaculate visual masterpiece. I don't rate Blade Runner as highly, and it's not even one of my favourite films, but I can still respect it for its accomplishments. 2049 blows it out the water though.
It's just one of the movie experiences when I first watched I knew was gonna be really, really special, you know? I realise it's not for everyone, but it virtually ticks all my boxes in what I expect from a sublimely crafted film.
I will say Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2O49 have great visuals and atmosphere but there isn't really anything else that stands out to me
Characters didn't grab me and plots were ok
Nothing bad but nothing that screamed best movies ever
Not trashing your opinion, but in the movie's defense, it wasn't going for a character driven narrative. It probably actually complements the film even more that the protagonist is cold and unrelatable, because well, that's kinda the point. His chosen name accentuates this even further; Joe. He's an artificial replicant nobody trying to find his humanity but ends up having to earn it instead.

Rona boredom got me acting strange. Here's another movie bread.
S tier:
2014. Can't really think of a better year that defined the 2010s than this one. Birdman, Interstellar, Gone Girl, Whiplash, Grand Budapest. Even some of the formulated blockbusters had hella originality to them like Edge of Tomorrow and Winter Soldier (well, maybe not the latter but probably the best movie in the MCU). Absolute razor year.
Other kino mentions include Nightcrawler, The Raid 2, How to Train Your Dragon 2, Imitation Game, The Guest, and John Wick.
A tier:
2017. This year produced my all time favourite movie of the decade, BR2049, and also conceptualised a plethora of really technically astute films such as Dunkirk and Baby Driver. The only thing holding it back from S tier was the dreaded TLJ unfortunately. Also the new Apes movie was trash in comparison to its relatively strong predecessors.
Honourable mentions include Good Time, Call Me By Your Name, Get Out and Three Billboards.
B tier:
2015. A respectable year no doubt but not quite enough substance to reach those upper echelons. Mad Max, Sicario and the Revenant were great, but we also had to be subjected to mediocrity like Age of Ultron, Force Awakens and the new Bond movie which I never mustered the effort to finish.
Honourable mentions include The Martian, The Big Short, Hateful Eight and Creed.
C tier:
2013. The mixed bag year. While 12 Years a Slave and Gravity were landmarks in film craft (although, the latter hasn't aged as gracefully as the other admittedly), there really wasn't a lot of vigor to the year. Pacific Rim was fine, I think it's immensely overrated though, and I'd rather poke holes in my balls and watch them deflate for an hour and a half than have to go through World War Z again.
Honourable mentions include Inside Llewyn Davis, Prisoners, Wolf of Wall Street and Her.
D tier:
2016 and 2012. The meh years.
Yeah yeah, 2012 had Django and The Master, but honestly? There's nothing else that particularly stands out to me in these years.
Moderately honourable mentions include Argo and TDKR, and Moonlight and Arrival respectively.
Shit tier: 2011 and 2018
Genuinely can't even remember going to the theatre during these years except for Infinity War and the final Harry Potter.
EDIT: Hereditary was decent.
Have not included 2019 in the ranking as I feel it's too soon for me to accurately place it anywhere.
Hand over your lists.

I still remember when of the first few games of Halo 3 I played, I guy was screaming at us to veto Sandtrap and we didn't do it. "Veto! Veto!! VETO!!! Ah you guys are a bunch of Niggers!" before leaving as soon as the game started.
According to Search and Destroy lobbies, everyone is required to say it at all times. I miss mw2 lobbies
First of all, what dweeb would veto Sandtrap.

this is the most powerful weapon i've ever been bestowed
now anyone who disagrees with ANY of my star wars opinions, they have to put up with knowing that they agree with ben shapiro
let’s say, you’ve been a bad star wars fan. let’s say, hypothetically, you’ve been a contrarian even. ok, and if you were a contrarian you would also be someone who doesn't understand star wars? then hypothetically speaking you would be a star wars fan that doesn't understand star wars. now let’s say that you also have a shit tier opinion now that we’ve established you’re both a bad star wars fan and have a shit tier opinion, then i believe you’d agree with me when i say that you deserve to be laughed out the door. am i not correct? a bad star wars fan deserves such ridicule, and as i understand star wars, and you do not, the logical conclusion that follows is that the Last Jedi is absolutely not epic.
