I'll recommend the movie of Battle Royale - it's not a pleasant movie, but it is a good movie. IIRC, the manga and book were more questionable, but that's second-hand information.
And while I haven't watched Squid Game, as I understand it they are two very different premises. A deadly Takashi's Castle is not the same thing as a fight to the death.
Yes, but not for the reasons people like to believe. Communism had a Jew in its most influential position from the start, but that's because Marx hated Judaism as a capitalist religion in its most negative sense. Communism is more like the oil heiress with daddy issues than a secret agent.
Fetterman has always had a soft spot for criminals - I think this might be him actually being consistent in his beliefs, unlike your average anarcho-tyrant who will fawn over murderers and rapists but try to annihilate the good man who defends himself.
If you haven't seen it already, Key and Peele made a skit about it.
It's not about the vaccine. If someone was murderously angry about their health insurance claim being denied for vaccine-related injuries they'd shoot the CEO of Pfizer or J&J, not UnitedHealthcare. You're also making the assumption that someone suffering from severe cardiopulmonary injuries decided that outrunning the cops on a bicycle was a viable strategy.
Since UnitedHealthcare is apparently the worst company for denying health insurance claims, my and most people's guess is that they screwed over one of their customers and their next of kin took revenge.
Tell me you don't understand Rudy without telling me you don't understand Rudy.
My understanding of Rudy's position is that the tail should be allowed to wag the dog: rather than the secondary market existing to allow players to obtain the cards they need to build a deck given the limitations of Wizards' limited print run, blind packed distribution, Wizards should attempt to maximise secondary market profits to maximise their sales to fourth-party resellers at the expense of their sales to players. The reason I believe this is because of his explicit dislike of the "game pieces" faction (that Wizards should respond to undersupply of in-demand cards by reprinting them, increasing the player base, reducing the effects of external economics on competitive integrity and directly increasing their own sales to the players) and also the fact that he fell for MetaZoo, a game which sold itself on collector-focused gimmicks like a Reserve List but without the fundamentals to make it worth collecting.
Ah, there it is. Tell me you're a filthy commie without telling me you're a filthy commie.
The market is not the purpose of the market. Thinking people should treat shares like the partial ownership of a company and not just an up-market form of betting on greyhounds doesn't make me a communist.
In principle, banning kids from social media is a good thing. You still have to worry about the teachers, but not giving every freak on the planet access to try to groom your kids should be common sense.
The real problem is the expectation that adults will be compelled to prove they're not children by exposing their identities, which will be a tool to suppress and punish dissent.
Elon would probably be a mixed bag, but Rudy would be terrible.
Rudy's problem is that he only views Magic as a speculative market and is dismissive of the ecosystem that prevents the floor from falling out of that market. He's the guy who would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, because he doesn't understand that his investment is dependent on the continued health of the game, and the continued health of the game is dependent on not going all in on the degenerate gamblers.
With Elon, I don't know how it would go. There's not much of a victory in saving the company if it means cutting the things that make it worth saving.
Shareholder responsibilities require that you put the best interests of the shareholder first, but that's not supposed to mean you have to stick your head into every mousetrap you find along the way. If companies are being sued for not making shortsighted, self-destructive decisions that is a corruption of the intent behind the rule.
The dwarf and woman look fine. Nothing special, but fine. The soldier guy is incredibly uninteresting for some kind of merfolk, and the halfling is rather ugly. None of them are so exceptional that having them as companions would be a selling point.
Most live action adaptations at least have the justification of lowering the floor on the budget (a saving which may or may not be eaten up by the need for higher quality special effects) but The Lion King wasn't even live action - it was all all CGI.
Count me among those who think this is stupid. If the DOJ was going to do anything, the advertising branch is the only rational target. While there are improvements that could be made to the browser market - namely, gutting half the Mozilla Foundation - the current situation with Google propping up almost the entire browser market as a loss leader has been pretty good for everyone.
Her father was a partisan fighting against Nazi Germany after the invasion of Poland. He failed to raise his daughter to not be a treasonous piece of shit, but his waging war against the invading force that murdered his parents doesn't deserve your spite.
