My inner monologue wants to have a dialogue about the collapse of Western Civilization. I need him to shut up for a few minutes or I'm not going to finish my set.
B at least looks to be not-fat, which gets her a 5 in 2023 and would've gotten her 0 points in 1980.
That is an abomination, but not at all unusual for the crowd he hangs with (hopefully sooner rather than later).
Arabs left alone weren't leaving others alone, though. If they hadn't severely limited trade and travel with continual coastal slave raids, Europe would have had a higher likelihood of keeping pace.
Kinda got a Danny DeVito look to it.
I think maybe 1/30 people in my shop are actually as productive WFH as they are in the office. It takes an internally-motivated, highly conscientious individual to be as diligent when no one is watching as when under even casual observation.
From an employer's perspective, remote work is a losing bet as a universal policy and works better as an alternative means of compensation for select individuals. You either need something strictly metrics-based where you can measure performance accurately, or you need to absolutely know that the select employees working outside of supervision are working because they care about doing good work, not because they're in it for a paycheck... and you still need to check in on them occasionally to make sure that hasn't changed.
Good, I hope it dies.
Or moving a human being. Dragging induces friction, and it's damned hard to drag a full-grown man at speed.
Polish LARPING as Americans
I don't know how anyone other than Vice could have turned this concept into (lib)shitting on middle America, but they've done it.
Disney actually leaving Florida would cost them the better part of a trillion dollars if they did it all at once, losing park revenue for the decades it would take to rebuild somewhere else, on top of the actual cost of re-building somewhere else.
I'd love to see it happen, if for no other reason than for the glorious post-apocalyptic vibe a fully-abandoned Disneyland would have.
A playable '80s blockbuster would be fantastic.
A playable 2020s blockbuster is race-swapped girl-bossing with unconvincing CGI stunts.
The dumb ones don't incite pogroms, so you've got competing impulses.
Emma Watson's "self-partnering" makes a comeback.
Does a pogrom cause additional mutations to form, or make it more likely that said mutations are beneficial?
I will also say, Tony has a bit of a monotone presentation, but he does break up the rhythm of ruthless assaults on the false presentation of data and the falsification of data with some glorious shitposts, like his dogs playing in the snow during the "warmest winter on record" or rollicking in the green fields during the "most severe drought on record" or what have you.
Kids moves used to be a tight 90 minute affair. This is over 120 minutes runtime, and it's going to get bad word of mouth among parents for that alone, because the kids are going to be bored to tears (as well as every other form of acting out).
Remember, this is a holiday weekend, so they're rolling up five days of sales and presenting it as three days worth.
If this was released a week later, it would've been closer to $111m gross (before theater split, before taxes), which is far short of the $300m-$350m total expenditure.
If this film doesn't have legs, and there's a substantial drop-off next week, they're going to have to take the L to offset something on their taxes from another film or the parks or D+.
They also agree to support Brian's noble sacrifice when all the Romans are gone and they could just take him down. Ultimately dumb and pointless, like all communist revolutionaries.
Eh, a lot of the older Chinese immigrants were enemies of the CCP, which makes them smarter than the average bear.
I worked with a Venezuelan dude who escaped when the Chavez meme was at its peak. He got on the bad side of the regime while the US Media was talking about Venezuela as the next great shining city on a hill, because he could see the writing on the wall.
The ones who left after oil prices crashed and the socialist meme fell apart were not anywhere near as clever.
On behalf of Midwestern rednecks, I agree.
By that logic, 140 years the other way didn't change their genetics that much, either.
You're comparing 30,000 years of evolution to seven generations, at most, of artificial selection, and that assumption requires you to believe that a majority of slavers kept the women locked in a pen like a herd of cattle and occasionally brought in a bull, when we know this was demonstrably untrue. Slaves can and did form relationships of their own free will (to the extent that picking from an artificially-limited pool of potential mates constitutes free will). Those who escaped bondage told and wrote stories about it, as did those who helped them.
Discovering that academic success is ultimately meaningless and the world is a horrifyingly cruel place is a difficult mountain to climb for the 115-130 bracket.
Most of the difference is located in verbal intelligence, which supports your hypothesis.
Systemic oppression, clearly.
If you're talking about a semi-solid rain/snow mix that melts when it hits the ground, we call that sleet.
