Reagan republicans would have behaved like this if they could have gotten away with it.

No. Hard-disagree with that. For the Republican party members in Congress at least. Those who voted for them, some not, some so.

The greatest generation types would not stand for how the country is currently being used, and they spilled blood on foreign sands to earn that right of judgement.

I gotta believe that Nixon has got to be doing cartwheels in his coffin right now (he might of actually been cremated/urned, but you know what I mean), seeing what Trump/MAGA gets away with, when he was just trying to ease-drop on some opponents and used the FBI to do so.

Having once been one (well I was under voting age at the time), it’s so confusing to me.

Well, if you take them at face value, then the things they said were important to them back in the Reagan era were just lies, since today's MAGA-Republicans don't follow anything like them now.

But even having said that, supporting a Russian dictator invading another country and NOT supporting NATO, that's such a un-Republican thing to do that its hard to believe they can even act that way.

Half-kidding, but I'm thinking that there are lots of photos of political people doing compromising things being held over their heads.

Blows my mind, having grown up in the age of Reagan Republicans, to see how Republicans act today, vs then. Its so weird.

Um, are you literally following me around, checking my comments?

I'm sorry to have disappointed you by not adding a licensing link to my comment that you replied to. Didn't realize you needed that in your life.

Don't worry though, I got you covered. Sleep well, little one, sleep well. ...

I don't know old English letters or how to fuck dragons. /shrug

do you find yourself confused often in life with how people behave?

No, but for some Lemmy commentors who seem to get really bent out of shape over a license link being in other people's comments make me wonder WTF is going on with them.

Cookie settings would be my guess; not privacy friendly site maybe.

Its too nerdy for its own good. The plebs want simple. Its the way of things.

I'm actually trying to not repeat myself, as I have mentioned before. Lemmy has a great feature for looking up someone's previous comments.

No, not complaining. Just trying to keep the goalposts from being moved, and responding to the one and only single point that I'm trying to make, why he would say what he did, a plausable reason why.

I'm definately not astroturfing, thats for sure. :)

Yep. Its just astroturfers being overly sensitive and defensive, since the movie has opened recently.

You would have to ask him, but I don't think it's realistic to force someone to have to see Falcon and Winter Soldier first, to understand the movie they're actually going to see at that moment.

At the very least there should be a recap, that's normally what they do in Hollywood, to bring viewers up to speed. Showing the origin story, even as a recap, would be helpful.

Yeah I don't know, I just used the stock Firefox app. I'm using Bitwarden and uBlock Origin extensions. /shrug

What I long press then 'open in a new tab' what see is something trying to do a pop up and then it interacts with the slide-out side panel, and the side panel doesn't collapse all the way so it's just long vertical side panel bar, that's showing the right side of a search box with the magnifying glass, and it covers about 1/5 of the screen so it makes it really hard to read the article.

Whomever runs that website should try opening that page using the DuckDuckGo Firefox Android mobile browser. It needs some work.

I saw the movie, no reason to quote the scene. My point still stands.

What you quoted just shows the very beginning, the genesis, and doesn't show the journey, which is what I believe Hideo Kojima was talking about. The journey.

Zelenskyy, under pressure, said he would step down for peace if Ukraine gained NATO membership.

Nice counter to the 'Zelenskyy is a dictator' narrative.

A) I don’t care about your posting history or any other person’s. It’s not important.

Well the answers to your questions are in that posting history, so it is important, if you're being intellectually honest about the questions that you're asking, and not just astroturfing.

I'm trying to NOT repeat myself now, and derail and sidetrack the conversation currently being had.

B) I wasn’t planning to mock you, but you’re definitely being a little defensive.

No, I'm not being defensive, at least not in the way you think I am. It's just a matter of the repetitiveness, defending from the constant attacks about using it being very tiring, as well as derailing the actual conversations currently being had, and I'd rather avoid them.

C) Since you’re being so defensive, you actually think that it holds any water or would stand up to legal scrutiny given that you’re posting on a publicly accessible forum?

I stand by what I said, and I believe the laws on my side on this matter, especially when it comes in Safe Harbor laws, and how laws are greater than user agreements.

he ends one as Captain America and starts the other as Captain America.

But he's just handed a shield, and nothing more, at the end of Endgame.

That just shows a beginning, and the new movie shows an end, but nothing in between is shown, unless you've seen Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

_{This comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0}

Just go look at my posting history, go back about ten months or so, and you'll get a full understanding what it's all about. Focus on the comments that discuss Safe Harbor laws.

If you're just going to mock me about it, to try and dissuade me from using it in the future, don't bother, it hasn't worked in the past, and it won't work now.

_{This comment is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0}

He did say that he vaguely remembered the end of Endgame with the handing over of the shield, and that he did not see Falcon and Winter Soldier, so from his perspective it does seem jarring for him to be Captain America all of a sudden. Perspectives matter.

If I had to guess what he was communicating it would be about an official re-showing of the handover of the mantle in the beginning of this new movie, and not requiring people to have seen a previous TV series.

It could have even been just a montage, from him being given the shield, to where he was at the beginning of the opening battle in this movie, mixing in a recap of Falcon and Winter Soldier best scenes.
