@Torgmada @AllyTaft That only works with American based businesses and callers..

Call them back and start asking very specific questions about the name of their company, their address, phone number, CEO, etc. If they give it to you, great, make sure you save it. Then tell them to put you on their do not call list. If they call you again, or leave a voicemail, that's a Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and you can file for $1500 in penalties payable to you. Working from memory here so be sure to validate. Keep records. (They might cut the conversation short and put you on their do-not call list if they sense that you're setting them up for a future TCPA claim. )

Approximately 36 calls every day offering me unsecured personal loans. How do I make it stop?

@gowronseyes @Sgprince7 @Stunt_ManMik3 Nobody will ever touch Rickmans Snape

@_ReturnTheSlab_ @Sgprince7 @Stunt_ManMik3 I will defend that solely on the grounds having someone try and mimic Alan Rickman would be offensive m. May as well go in a completely opposite direction and see what happens.

Helen of Troy hatched from an Egg and is also a fictional character.

@Sgprince7 @gowronseyes @Stunt_ManMik3 Even in the new Harry Potter series they cast Snape as a black man when he’s written as a pale white man by JK Rowling in the books. Another unnecessary casting even though it’s pure fantasy

@gowronseyes @_ReturnTheSlab_ @Stunt_ManMik3 Not really. I honestly can’t think of an actual historical event that happens in Harry Potter. Braveheart is a better comparison. But still, the way it was perceived when first told, not how it is perceived now, informs whether it should be taken as pure fantasy or not

@misfitpatriot_ I heard he’s dead so all he’s gonna get is a funeral

The black guy is going to sue Chud for everything he has, and win. He’s also gonna make a ton of money on a fundraiser by the end of the week, and Chud will go to jail. Yeah, the black guy will definitely FO, and he’s gonna love what he finds.

@gowronseyes @CapitanAmerVesp @Stunt_ManMik3 You think female to male trannys are good castings for emaciated corpses?

@CapitanAmerVesp @_ReturnTheSlab_ @Stunt_ManMik3 And considering how Homer describes the shades, casting a transgender man to play an emaciated corpse version of Achilles is pretty brilliant, if that rumor is true. But my money is on Page is Elpanor.

@priestdracula @CapitanAmerVesp @aStrayPancake @Stunt_ManMik3 That’s great and all but how does that make Helen casted as a black woman make sense

@CapitanAmerVesp @aStrayPancake @_ReturnTheSlab_ @Stunt_ManMik3 that’s just untrue. Andromeda was the princess of Aethiopia and an ancestor to Heracles and Memnon, the King of the Ethiopians, was seen as a peer to Achilles in skill and beauty. in the Iliad, Aethiopians were so well-liked by the gods that Olympians traveled to feast with them.

@gowronseyes @Sgprince7 @Stunt_ManMik3 Yeah now imagine if they cast Danny Glover as William Wallace

@Sgprince7 @_ReturnTheSlab_ @Stunt_ManMik3 “Based on real historical events” is doing way more work than you apparently realize here. Braveheart, for example, is also based on real historical events. Do you think any of those events actually happened the way they were depicted? Are audiences supposed to believe that?

@CapitanAmerVesp @gowronseyes @Stunt_ManMik3 It’s clearly just voluntary ignorance at this point

@gowronseyes @_ReturnTheSlab_ @Stunt_ManMik3 Gowron, stop pretending you don't understand the issue. It makes you look like some kind of stupid man-mule.

@isaiahrmartin How do retards like this gain support

So Trump is about to pay himself $10 BILLION OF OUR MONEY to settle a fake lawsuit with the IRS. That’s $10 billion of your cash in his pocket. ACTUAL THEFT! AMERICA IS BEING ROBBED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!!!!!!!

@Mid30sManhattan I think it will do better than I think but worse than the left thinks

Are we in a Twitter bubble or does The Odyssey actually have potential to bomb harder than Joker 2?

@gowronseyes @Sgprince7 @Stunt_ManMik3 White armed literally refers to pale skin and it idealized feminine beauty and high social status in ancient Greek culture.

@_ReturnTheSlab_ @Sgprince7 @Stunt_ManMik3 No it wasn’t it’s barely described, except “white armed”. Her beauty is beyond comprehension for mortals because she is the daughter of a God. Greek tastes are irrelevant.

@gowronseyes @Sgprince7 @Stunt_ManMik3 It’s kind of hilarious because her skin tone was a major defining characteristic because in Greek culture back then pale white skin was synonymous with the most desired beauty of the time for the Greeks specifically.

@_ReturnTheSlab_ @Sgprince7 @Stunt_ManMik3 Helen’s defining characteristics are not her skin tone you racist weirdo.

@mariasergiivna @Stunt_ManMik3 It was literally mandatory reading in my high school and I stand corrected about the hair you are right there is no description of it in the Illiad, but she was described as “WHITE ARMED” repeatedly.

@_ReturnTheSlab_ @Stunt_ManMik3 there's no description of Helen's hair in Illiad. she was described as "fair" in a metaphorical way. not even "pale" about her skin color. you clearly didn't read it

@CapitanAmerVesp @aStrayPancake @Stunt_ManMik3 They just don’t want to acknowledge that Ancient Greeks viewed pale skin and blonde hair as the ultimate beauty, it makes them feel racist.

@aStrayPancake @_ReturnTheSlab_ @Stunt_ManMik3 Yes. But my point is that the character is surely pale white. A black girl would have been a freak in Ancient Greece. It totally kicks the audience off of the immersion every movie should aspire to.

@Twessel30 @Stunt_ManMik3 We know she isn’t real, but it’s a Greek tale that took place in Greece and there is pottery and paintings of her likeness as well as written descriptions of her skin and hair. To ignore all of that and cast a black woman is absolutely crazy.

@_ReturnTheSlab_ @Stunt_ManMik3 She isnt real. No proof Helen exist.

They completely understand but will not relent because they love being seen as the saviors of the black people. It’s truly pathetic and if the roles were reversed they wouldn’t stand for it. They call us racists for not wanting a black person playing a white role but also think it’s racist if a white person takes on a black role. It’s completely retarded and ass backwards and there is no reasoning with this type of thinking because it literally makes no sense

@Twessel30 @_ReturnTheSlab_ @Stunt_ManMik3 Yet Mediterranean, European and other mainly cultures just have to accept black people playing white people because of DEI bullshit. Sorry but fuck off

@glupshiddomca @CommanderK254 @LEZB0B0MB Great the egg can be CGI’d. We actually have real life actresses that match her description that can be used to fortify her described appearance in the film. I’m glad you agree the casting is unrealistic.

@_ReturnTheSlab_ @CommanderK254 @LEZB0B0MB Okay. She was also born from an egg from a father who was a god in the form of a swan. So I'm fine with it being unrealistic

right wingers are genuinely the biggest larpers in history cause the moment a minority is involved in any piece of media they'll pretend it's always mattered to them and that this ruins their lives

@gowronseyes @Sgprince7 @Stunt_ManMik3 And if they cast the giant cyclops as having 2 fucking eyes I’d think that would be a bad casting

@_ReturnTheSlab_ @Sgprince7 @Stunt_ManMik3 Again the movie has a giant cyclops in it and you’re fixated on a minor character’s skin composition get a fucking grip.

Because it’s fucking retarded and makes no sense based on the actual story and its source material. It’s an Ancient Greek tale. They didn’t have black African queens in their reality or in their fiction. This is supposed to take place in Greece where Greek people were not black. Again to beat a dead horse if they cast a white king of Africa in an African epic I’d be just as disappointed.

@_ReturnTheSlab_ @Sgprince7 @Stunt_ManMik3 If you want to retcon the aesthetic of your main character that’s on you, make it make sense and you’ll be fine. You’re freaking out over a character that has less than a minute of screen time. Normal people are not fixated on Helen’s skin color. They just know she’s gorgeous.

No but it has source material and Nolan is claiming to be “historically accurate”. You’re comparing the source material of a fantasy graphic novel movie of 300 to Homers The Odyssey. That is not a fair comparison at all and if the graphic novels for 300 didn’t exist and they claimed it was based off the historical writings of the battle of Thermopylae then yes I’d have a major issue with it.

@_ReturnTheSlab_ @Sgprince7 @Stunt_ManMik3 Wait do you think The Odyssey is a true story?
