The Great Cornholio

Any pornography on JC has to be the furthest thing from peedo surely Maybe OAPeedophilia?

Would be interesting if DL has Trump as a wildcard for next year. Enough people want to kill him.

6 days left of Jimmy Carter's double digits!

I reckon they'll just stick him in a wheelchair next to a birthday cake on the day, like what they do with people who are the world's oldest. Would be more dignified for a president than just taking a pic of him in bed.

Nearly 3,000 new cases of the 'rona recorded yesterday, the biggest number of cases since May. People mostly affected are young adults, but it only takes one of them to have been on the train/bus/public toilet for the numbers to start to heavily increase...

Back from a hiatus, was honestly hoping Maria Branyas would've been competitive for the 118+ club - especially since nobody has lived past 119 in my lifetime. Frustrating that the next contender is 116 and 2 months old, we are again ages away from any significant milestone.

Again, perspective. America is not as left wing as us, so their perspectives will be different. Moderates are turning towards him, from my experience with the Americans I know, its mostly down to lower taxes. Interestingly enough, a muslim I used to work with is voting for Trump.

Its about perspective, this is the MAGA perspective. If you dont understand your enemy then how are you expected to win? You've got to listen to everyone's opinions to be truly informed, even those you disagree with.

Historical data that shows a correlation within Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden's campaigns that Trump ends up being underestimated by around 6% by polls in contrast to those election results. I doubt recent events will change that. If anything, the 3 big things currently going for Trump would be: 1. His recent publicity on X, targeting moderates with massive viewership 2. The UK riots and Kier's handling of them has only made the MAGA base more determined to vote for him. 3. A few weeks ago, Trump was shot on live TV. His MAGA base would probably walk over glass to vote for him after that. The best thing Kamala has going for her is Trump's idea on dissolving the department of education, which tbf has probably bought her some points

Honestly cant see a Harris presidency happening, since Trump's numbers has always been underestimated historically (assuming the odds are off the new polls).

Carter, on his deathbed, solely hanging on just to vote in November (even though he wont be alive to benefit from whoever gets in): - Too weak and frail to do anything - Does whatever he can to keep himself alive (brain stimulation, praying, good mental attitude etc) - Does this continuously - Reaches 100th birthday, too old to even properly celebrate it. Probably wont want himself on camera over how old he is by then. - A month later, the time has come for him to vote - Results come in, Trump has won (betting odds atm have him the most likely winner) - Jimmy "Oh no!" *Dies of disappointment*

Only 49 more days to go until Jimmy Carter reaches his 100th birthday!!!

Someone being a dickhead is a bit more excusable than being a cunt, I think we should have both - different levels of dislike.

We should have a cunt emoji

Plastic surgery addiction cant exactly kill someone though, unless its something like lipo. I honestly think its just him staying in shape and doing lots of sports, plus age tends to make your cheekbones pop out more as your face gets progressively saggier.

So what was the update?

Very surprised to find there isn't a thread for presenter, singer and comedian Des O'Connor (who turns 89 in a few months). Des is getting pretty old now, plus considering he has a 16 year old son to look after at his age I reckon that surely has to wear him down. A good candidate for 2021 DL?

I put in the option of majority/minority governments on the top 4 contenders to make it more interesting. And yes I'm an idiot for putting Lib Dems and Reform in with Labour and Tories...

Oof

Idk, I think it is legitimately shit. I know because I watched it. My first impression was that I was amazed by how bored I was watching it, and I'm a big fan of the franchise. The issue for me isnt the space lesbians or the female lead or the lack of white males, this issue I have (and most people have) is the poor writing, the cringe dialogue (the power of one, the power of two, the power of manyyyyyyyyyy), rewriting the force as 'the thread' and contradicting its meaning right when its being explained to the viewer (the thread isnt there to be wielded but heres how you can manipulate it). Then theres the canon breaking. The twins being born through the force suddenly makes Anakin much less special. Ki Adi Mundi being aware of the possible Sith and not telling the council, either making his character dubious (for no real reason) or plain stupid. Not to mention that Ki Adi Mundi wasn't supposed to be alive at this point in time. Then theres the production. The budget being twice as large as Kenobi, yet the budget feels wasted (especially in comparison to the latest Dune film). Also I have a HUGE issue with the director. Putting aside her aspiration to actively use Star Wars as a vehicle for her political views, she's an ex-associate of Harvey Weinstein. Not only that but she is the only secretary/assistant of his to not report on his sexual misconduct. Originally I was excited when the Acolyte was announced. I thought we'd see a younger Yoda, Darth Plagueis and his master and maybe a better backstory to some of the ancient Jedi in the prequels - such as Plo Koon, Oppo Rancis, Yaddle and Yarael Poof (the Jedi with the long neck in Phantom Menace). I might be nit picking a bit with the background Jedi but a cameo would've been a nice tribute to the die hard Star Wars fans. The only thing I liked about the Acolyte was the fight choreography, even though it was so stupid how the Trinity actress died at the beginning. Overall, The Acolyte (in my opinion) is dogshite. It had amazing potential, only for it to be given to someone who doesn't understand Star Wars, nor makes any effort to. If you like the show, good for you, but I honestly think the 13% rotten tomato score was deserved.

My favourite part of the debate is when they started arguing about golf

I think the entire franchise just died with the release of the Acolyte. Rest in 13% Rotten Tomatoes review

Oh yeah that too, even better when you bring a friend!

My hobbies/interests are as follows: -I'm a bit of a motorhead, my prized possession is my CLA Mercedes. -I am an expert in Star Wars lore. -Watching cartoons like South Park and Beavis and Butthead etc (obvs from my profile). -I also enjoy boxing, swimming, long walks etc.
