Q: In Next, why did Liz set her watch ahead 7 minutes?

This is about the movie titled "Next", with Nicholas Cage. As Cris plans his escape from the Cliffhanger motel, he tells Liz to set her watch ahead by 7 minutes. I figured that would come into play later in the story to misdirect the villains in some clever way. But nothing about her watch, or...

@AnkitSharma possibly but we don't know if the Orange League is officially recognized by the League

Ankit Sharma

@Memor-X shoudl I ask a question about it?

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma possibly, Anime and Manga from what i can tell doesn't have a question if it's official or not, just if there was a game featuring them

didn't check Sci Fi or Movies and TV

Q: Why does Ash never win a Pokémon League championship?

Lots of fans were angry at the end of Pokémon XY & Z because Ash lost (again) in a championship, this time in Kalos Pokémon League. But why? Is there any reason for the writers to make him lose again?

production pokemon

> On August 18, 2016, the XYZ episode Kalos League Victory! Satoshi's Greatest Decisive Battle (カロスリーグ優勝！サトシ頂上決戦 Karosurīgu yūshō! Satoshi chōjō kessen) (Down to the Fiery Finish! in the English dub) faced criticism from fans when Ash lost the Kalos League against Alain. The fans specifically criticized the episode due to misleading trailers that suggested that Ash would win the battle and because Ash had lost all of the Pokémon Leagues in past seasons.

> Fans also disliked the outcome because they believed Ash's Greninja had many advantages over Alain's Charizard, including the fact that water-type Pokémon resist fire-type Pokémon attacks,[34]

> and that the rare Bond Phenomenon Ash's Greninja was subject to was said to be far more powerful than a conventional Mega Evolution. Several animators of the series also expressed disappointment that Ash had lost.[35] TV Tokyo's YouTube upload of the teaser of the next episode received an overwhelming number of dislikes as a result of the outcome.

> On IMDb, the episode became one of the lowest-rated episodes of the entire anime.[36][better source needed] A Change.org petition asking that an alternate ending be created in which Ash wins received more than 3,900 signatures. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_(anime)#Controversies

@AnkitSharma Fans are fucken idiots

oh the trailer shows Ash is going to win? ARE YOU THAT THICK THAT YOU THINK THAT THEY'D SPOIL IT IN A TRAILER!

A J

I liked Pokemon as a child but now this show sounds weird to me.

Ankit Sharma

@Memor-X it's a boring show get over it

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma but it's more showing how fans are getting stupider. already games reviewers think that all games should have an easy mode to make them accessible. you have more and more dumb ass shows like Keeping Up with the Kardashians showing up and now fans are expecting a certain result because they thought the trailer was saying it was going to go that way

like a trailer isn't going to show that big victory unless there is something even bigger going to happen. otherwise what's the point of watching it?

Ankit Sharma

@AJ just a general curiosity question from a muggle to a mod. By any way using a derogatory term become acceptable on SE?

A J

not really, why?

Ankit Sharma

Mleccha

Mleccha (from Vedic Sanskrit mlecchá, meaning "non-Vedic", "barbarian") is a Sanskrit term referring to foreign or barbarous peoples in ancient India, as contradistinguished from Aryas. Mleccha was used by the ancient Indians originally to indicate the uncouth and incomprehensible speech of foreigners and then extended to their unfamiliar behaviour, and also used as a derogatory term in the sense of "impure" and/or "inferior" people. The word Mleccha was commonly used for 'outer barbarians of whatever race or colour'.The Indians referred to all alien cultures and races that were less civilized...

what about this word?

A J

12:25 PM

maybe context matters

I have never heard about this word.

Ankit Sharma

It's very common in one site and you know which. Thinking to ask a meta but was taking suggestion to know if I am overreacting or not

> The Indians referred to all alien cultures and races that were less civilized in ancient times as 'Mleccha'.

Sound as bad as N word

A J

That sounds bad indeed.

Ankit Sharma

Then meta time \o/

discussion meta faq-proposed

Ankit Sharma

@M.A.R. it's due to context and maybe sarcastic garnishing

M.A.R.

12:28 PM

1.1.

@AnkitSharma Well, half of communication is what the words make the other side feel.

"Since when did it become acceptable" has a strong implication that people deliberately let it be.

Ankit Sharma

@M.A.R. this word is like I am insulting you but you don't even know

By you I don't mean you but some other people

M.A.R.

@AnkitSharma It seems pretty insulting to me, but people might not be aware of it (I wasn't of course), so use a mod-flag and link to Wikipedia?

If that fails then meta time

Ankit Sharma

@M.A.R. it's a case of let me use search took and flag 100 messages and 10s of question or just raise meta

M.A.R.

@AnkitSharma Oh, in that case

@AnkitSharma Wait, in chat or on main?

Loong

@M.A.R. That “contact us” in the footer section of every page actually only exists on Stack Overflow. On the other sites it's just “contact”, and it has been moved a bit. :-|

M.A.R.

you should not accept the edits which remove the word mleccha. it is a word often used in scripture. calling it offensive, is like a thief objecting to the use of the word thief to describe him. — ram Feb 15 at 22:47

Well, been called many things. Might as well add "thief" to the list.

Hiding the ring in the pocket

So. It's kinda interesting to think about.

Followers of one sect dreaming of eradicating all disagreement from the world.

And it happens everywhere. One might say it's not part of the original teachings, but it might as well have been that the early preachers were being coy with tolerance of disagreement.

Then again, it's kinda far fetched.

It's not a meta post, but a whole religion. And it's not yelling obscenity at random pictures on the internet, it's murdering them.

Unless there's some ground for objectivity, unless philosophers start persuading each other (even more far-fetched), it's all too vague to be any sort of actionable.

But does that mean there is no truth, or that neither religion comes close to it?

@AJ No sweets. There are no Keralites in my area.

@M.A.R. mood and context matters a lot. Ideally, it shouldn't. If I post immediately, the response is different. Sometimes, the repeated I same in two different posts. The reception was reversed. The gap between two posts is some 6 months.

M.A.R.

@NogShine That's "tone", section one.

If you make it personal, people will grow weary of the meta post really fast.

Wow, Wolfgang Schmitt's article on Last Blood really makes me want to see it. I would at first have shrugged it off as a sequel noone asked for, like the last one. But even that, while not being as great as Rocky Balboa, wasn't that bad and in retrospect John Rambo has, while his films might have changed over the years, stayed largely true to his character.

M.A.R.

I just Googled and it's stormed with MAGA critics yelling all over the place

Napoleon Wilson

9:22 PM

What's a MAGA?

@M.A.R. He makes a general case for Stallone as an actor and for the Rambo films and also defending them against an all too easy-out criticism along common SJW lines.

He already made great case against the naive right-wing interpretation of First Blood in his latest YouTube analysis.

M.A.R.

@NapoleonWilson Make America Giggly Again

@NapoleonWilson What do the criticizers say? That because he shoots Mexicans, it's racist, or?

Napoleon Wilson

@M.A.R. Oh.

M.A.R.

Well, uh, I mean, depending on how you depict that, it could both be racist and innocuous.

Sicario didn't seem racist to me, for example.

Napoleon Wilson

@M.A.R. I don't really know, I haven't seen any other discussions of it yet. But...I could imagine. It doesn't seem an all too far away criticism when you have a movie with Rambo taking on a Mexican human trafficking ring.

M.A.R.
