KINGOFJAPAN: Apparently the story is taking place over several dimensions and everything you saw was from the perspective of the five and not OA's direct recollection (thats apparently why french had that homer moment) |

For her to say the demand for black market dollar is unneccessary and bloated is just idoitic They is REAL demand for FX but i guess she has never been connected to the real reality of our demand and supply so |

Culture / Nigerian Comedian 'Ogusbaba' In Hot Water From Homophobic Skit by mkmyers45(m): 7:55pm On Jan 12, 2017 |
In the video named Lekki gay, a gay man, played by well-known actor and comic Ogusbaba, is seen lying in bed at home looking at his mobile phone when a visitor comes to the door. The visitor is enthusiastically welcomed in - but has unexpectedly brought two heavies along with him, who confront Ogusbaba's character about his sexuality and use threatening language towards him. As the video draws to a close the gay man is held down on a bed while the other three men threaten to sexually assault him. The video - which emerged at the end of November last year - was recently reposted on a gossip page on Facebook. There it went viral, and has been viewed more than 390,000 times. Ogusbaba insists that the skit "is just to make my fans laugh and to promote my tour." "I have my own views about LGBT people," he tells BBC Trending. "It's strictly personal, I have nothing against them." But prominent gay rights activists have condemned the video. They include Nigeria's first openly gay pastor, Reverend Jide Macaulay, who was forced to flee the country in 2008 after receiving death threats for his work setting up safe spaces for LGBT Nigerians to worship in. "The Ogusbaba comedy glorifies and glamorises homophobia. What he is effectively saying to his followers is 'go out and assault gays and let's laugh about it' - this is not funny," says Macaulay, who has launched an online petition calling on Ogusbaba to stop promoting hate crimes against LGBT Nigerians. "We have documented many cases of violence against unsuspecting gays who meet people via social media or other means and simply agreed to a date or sexual encounter. Social media is being used to entrap gay men," he says. Sexual rights advocate Bisi Alimi - who was the first Nigerian to openly declare his sexuality on national television, which led to death threats and his resulting move to the United Kingdom - believes the motivations behind Ogusbaba's sketch are clear. "He [Ogusbaba] wanted it to go viral. He knew the average Nigerian would find it funny and share it," Alimi says. "He knew it would create controversy and be talked about." http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-38559501 https://www.facebook.com/IamOgusbaba/videos/1224695907604444/ |

cao: Actually the writers (Bret Marling and Zach) claim otherwise....apparently its the imagination of the boys and not OA's direct recollection which is even more ridiculous if you think about it. Apparently thats why 'french' had that homer transform moment cao: Before anyone starts, I'm a fan of slow paced shows and even a bigger fan of weird sci-fi, in fact the only slow paced show of recent that I've hated was London Spy - I was bored off my tits and my body refused to pay attention. Anywho, like I've said a few times, episode 8 doesn't have a true payoff. I was actually quite annoyed when it was obvious I'd have to wait for season 2 for the payoff, now I understand why the ratings are less than 2.5 on Netflix. All in all, The OA is well acted, well produced, but it could have told a better story. Couldnt go past episode 3.....very poor execution (Kill whatshisface and movie is over with no need to infect him and all the other bruhaha that came along with that) cao: Sidebar: I've been calling Steve - Delinquent Douche, in fact I've been referring to him as that exclusively. @Bolded....She needed strong and flexible and brave and apparently a little mad Big B99 fan here too....i feel the end of the last episode was just overkill. Now everyone is going to be praying and sulking instead of the fun time we are used to.... |

cao: Do you think the whole story is BS? How many POV do you think is telling the story? What do you think of her last words and her dazed state at the very end? I think the ending of episode 5 is one of the best scenes of 2016. |

Freciprocal: I partially agree with the bolded.....If you remember she told the FBI guy that her re-occuring dream was in a place with high glass and the sound of cutlery....Also they was a bit about a mass shooter on the loose My issue with it is that the execution was just darn stupid....My reaction at the last scene was initially a sarcastic clap followed by a WTF |

Religion / Re: Back To The Illusion: How Can We Know Our Reality Is An Illusion? by mkmyers45(m): 2:55pm On Dec 27, 2016 |
DeepSight: Won't the bolded require that the conscious subjects are somehow experiencing the illusionary world through a link from the real world? If the individual in the simulated world is not linked to the real world but is rather ''lab rats in an experiment'' Does this make his self-awareness any less real? Does this make their awareness a quasi-conscious state? |

I think it is important that we fully understand TIME and LIGHT as i believe these two will provide clues as to whether we live in a simulation or not Firstly, What is Time? Not the denominated fragment that man has structured to provide some sort of order in chaos. As far as present scientific advance is concerned we dont actually know what time is. When does time progress? Does time flow or does it morph instantaneously? Is time an entity that can be harnessed and manipulated? If yes, then i think it will be a strong evidence we live in a simulation. Is the expansion of space creating new time? is the multiverse theory the answer? Are we living in a real world that is constantly branching out due to our choices? Secondly, what gives light its characteristic speed? Will we ever develop good enough tech to observe the boundaries of our expanding universe (This will depend on us being able to manipulate light)? 3 Likes |
