  • State generalities and personal experiences as fact.

    State facts and sources.
    Response: “Well, I don’t believe that”

    System is working as designed. Not a bug, WONTFIX

    Some of the general statements he made, then provided a bunch of topics behind it as the rationale, each of which was clearly going to be disputed and could be debated for 2 hours alone, was pretty laughable…

    Ultimately, it’s not a dialogue, it’s 21 people shaking their fists and baying at the moon.



  • I didn’t notice the Alt-Right ness of this.

    I’ve seen this type of generalized, vague, start again questioning across many forums and platforms since forever.

    The best approach is to simply go more generalized and vague than their question.

    So, if somebody says “Why don’t you respond to criticism?”, just give them a one word question back, like “What?”, “Huh?”, or the minimalist “?”. Maybe even better imply it’s already been addressed with “Addressed above”, “See above”, or “See previous discussion”.

    Do not get more specific. Be more vague.

    Anything original is regarded as sacrilege.

    Anything referencing the past is boring and repetitive.

    For mine, I found this closer to the first Alien movies, and enjoyed it as a break from feeling like the story had to take centre stage. Alien is all about the vibes, creeps and feels. That’s what I enjoyed about this one.

    The sound/score was great, though I found some of the score a little delayed and over the top in emphasizing when something had happened “DUM-DUM-DUUUUMMMMMM”

    I wasn’t much of the fan of the fast growing baby creature that some have referred to as baby Zuckerberg. Some of that reminded me of Species. Mind you, I’d watch Alien v Species. Or Alien v Thing. Or any combination v Predator.

    The callbacks are starting to come across to me as lazy writing. Just repeating stuff from previous movies that ends up filling in time. Good for those that haven’t seen any of the previous movies I guess. I’m OK watching what’s basically a repeat movie once, but don’t do it again.

    Seems obvious to me that now we’ve had Alien: Romulus the next is the Alien: Remus prequel.

    Enjoyable return to original films:7/10
