    FOREST GROVE, Ore. — A Forest Grove woman called 911 when a man wouldn't stop "obnoxiously" singing Semisonic's "Closing Time" near her house last Saturday.

    For anyone who lived through the 90s, the song is unforgettable and has a keen way of getting stuck into your head.

    The woman apparently told the whistler to "shut up," an argument ensued, and she called police.

    “It’s not clear if the caller would have been more or less upset if it was a different genre or whether it was just the talent lacking in the whistling,” Forest Grove Police Capt. Mike Herb told TIME.

    Police say the whistler left the scene shortly after, but officers who caught up with him shortly after found him... still whistling. He wasn't arrested or cited, but apparently whistled his way home because he was upset he had been told to "shut up."

    BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA :lol:

    Yes. Okay new [chat] and that means I can write up about BvS:Dawn of Dumb.

    Because dear god is it full of the dumb. I will put it in spoilers for those who I guess don't want the dumb spoiled.

    So this movie tried to pull in like 20 story lines. And not one was really coherent. Of course there is the blatant death of Superman. Which is about as potent as non-alcoholic beer because Supes in this world is a distant boring character missing all the charm and history that made the 1990 death of Superman a thing. There was a feeling of loss though we all knew no one stays dead in comics. Snyder's odd obsession with 90's comics seems to miss why some were good and try to pull only the terrible in.

    Then there were scene for scene shots of Dark Knight Returns. Why? Snyder wanted to make that movie. You have an older Batman. You have a stupid fight though DKR makes way more sense. Hell even had some of the same weapons and pretty much the Battank and the nuking of Supes. But it made very little sense.

    And then even beyond that you have the stupid of Eisenberg's Lex. He had no heart or soul. He seemed like he was trying to be the Joker. Lex wants to show man can defeat god. Not whatever that was.

    Oh and of course let us not forget Darkseid is. Because that was a huge premise of this entire movie. Its setting up Apokolips and Darkseid. But seriously Luthor had no genius. No spark. He was not a self made man. He got it from Daddy.

    On top of all that the story was just dumb. The pacing was slower than glacier. I just kind of stopped caring in the first 30 minutes. Snyder has no idea how to do a JLU or Superman movie. Hell not sure he gets Batman anymore.

    So lets go with the few bright spots.

    Affleck is a good Batman. His the Boston Batman. Kind of rough around the edges but at least it showed that he did detective work to figure shit out. He was a good fighter. And won on brains a lot not just brawn. I think Affleck if he gets a lot of control can make this a worthwhile version and do good things with it. Even in the Snyderverse.

    Gal Gadot is a goddess. I knew she was gorgeous but that smile she gives in the fight. I flushed. Dear lord is she everything Wonder Woman should be physically in a fight and looks. She looks like a demigod. I will pass judgement on her character after her movie. She says like 10 lines this film.

    The peaks at the rest of JLU were uh unneeded. And seemed stapled on to show hey, "Don't forget these dudes for the next movie!"

    Marvel may be formulaic at times. And I might of found Ultron fun but kind of boring at times. But BvS is just bad. DC and the last few movies feel as if they have forgotten their own niche in comics. They aren't the grimdark. They aren't the world is dark and full of terrors comic. They are demigods. They are heroes who rise above every time. They don't write heroes they write aspects of good verse aspects of evil. And this movie translates none of that. I will admit I grew up with the DCAU. But to me Supes is the boy scout. WW is sassy, smart, independent and powerful. Batman isn't brooding so much as calculating. But he cares. Bruce is as important as him beating up criminals. I see none of that life in these movies.

    @Jacobkosh @Thomamelas @Elldren @Atomika

    Snyder is just an awful director. It's mind blowing that Warner Brothers placed a multi-billion dollar bet on this idiot.

    The MCU can usually cover up poor plot or pacing with a wellspring of appealing visuals and character interactions. The DC verse hasn't hit on anything decently enough in the same way so each little miss is obvious.

    I actually liked how it ended.

    I thought Cumberbatch was good in the role. The villain worked well. And it was weird enough to be a Strange story.

    Also you have a big dislike of Marvel movies so I am not surprised you didn't like it.

    Really though. Everything gets automated, putting already underpaid people completely out of work. Why, exactly, would anyone in any position of authority then decide to give those people who they already weren't paying enough in the first place completely free money?

    Eventually politicians will stop campaigning on bringing manufacturing jobs back because that ship has long sailed and they will pivot to basic income.

    Yes, before anyone says it, this is assuming Trump hasn't destroyed democracy by then

    That basic income has to come from somewhere though. And if the only people with any money are the ones who created the complete lack of employment in the first place, specifically so they could have even more money...

    Yes it comes from the government.

    Where's the government getting that money from. No one is paying taxes, since no one has a job. Corporate tax? pfft.

    Well for starters, plenty of people will still have jobs. No one has manufacturing jobs does not equal no one has any job.

    And the government has always been capable of spending more than it raises in taxes anyways.

    Wealth is production. Money is just the means for moving that wealth around.

    @ronya please explain better but also in a far more convoluted, hedged and difficult to parse post thanks

    taxes on owners of the automated stuff

    in principle
