I don’t know if there’s quite a dynamic for the show yet, so I’d probably just go with my favorites: Brennan, Sam, Iffy, and Vic

I’m not. The US Military is sneakily a very large commercial partner in Hollywood. They frequently loan out equipment, bases, personnel, and more to movies that depict the armed forces as good guys. Top Gun, Battleship, Goldeneye, Iron Man 1/2, The Day After Tomorrow, and the Transformers movies are all sponsored by the US Military. So it makes sense they’d be at a movie/culture festival. Not to mention it’s a target rich environment for their core demo: men between the ages of 18 and 25
It’ll look cool, but there will be parts that look weird and you won’t be sure why
Like most movies designed to be viewed with sound. I think everyone reading this question assumed the asker knew silent movies exist. I offered something with engaging visuals that doesn’t need dialog to explain the premise
Yes, all movies with sound typically are. I just mentioned it because I’ve been to bars that had it on TVs while other music was playing and it was really cool to look at
Interstella 5555. It’s basically one long music video so there’s no dialog and it’s anime so the visuals are really striking
Trump fails logistics once again. Mandatory military service makes sense in smaller countries because you need a minimum number of people to make a military function. In larger countries like America, we wouldn’t even know what to do with that many soldiers. On average 4 million Americans turn 18 each year. Let’s assume we’re only taking men, and that generously half of them find a way out of service. That’s still 1 million new recruits each year. America has the third largest military in terms of manpower in the world and we have 1.4 million active duty troops. In one year we’d double the number of active troops. Now you need to pay, feed, house, arm, and train them, which all takes… more personnel!
After seeing his absolutely bungled exit from Afghanistan, I have full faith in that administration to handle that transition
I mean if you’re stupid enough you could try to claim a donation to the Taliban as charitable contribution for a deduction. And never underestimate the stupidity of people
American tax forms have an “other income” field. That’s where you can report any money you’ve made not covered by the other fields including any ill gotten gains. That section doesn’t require you to list a source, and even if it did nobody expects you to list “$7,800 - meth sales, $32,200 - crack sales, $50,000 - robberies”. You’d just say “Other income - $90,000”
The logic being that if the government never gives you the opportunity to pay taxes on something, then they can’t charge you with tax evasion. Plus there’s a lot of money in crime! If the US can get a piece of that pie they will!
Finally, the IRS is an already underfunded organization and contrary to the popular narrative, is very easy to work with. If you make a genuine good faith effort to pay your taxes and they find issues, an agent will work with you to resolve it. They’ll set up payment plans, defer payments, and more if you’re cooperative. All this is to say that reporting people for crimes besides tax ones and terrorism (the only one they’re legally required to report to outside agencies) just makes their job harder, so they don’t
Late judicial tinkering with election laws can lead to disruption and to unanticipated and unfair consequences for candidates, political parties, and voters, among others.
I wonder if there’s anything else that’d be unfair? You know like making the votes of citizens not reflect their demographics
A Wells Fargo spokesperson told Bloomberg that the company “holds employees to the highest standards and does not tolerate unethical behavior.”
I mean the jokes write themselves
Usually the “explanation” I see is that the other planets are part of the conspiracy. Either projections by the shadow government to hide the nature of the world, reflections of other “planets” on the dome separated by the great ice walls, or that they are part of the display. All of which would be cool as hell in a story, but sad when people really believe it
I hate to be the one to point this out to you, but 2017 was 7 years ago. Which is squarely in the middle of 5-10 years ago
I react poorly to blood donation and have had these used on me, they are incredibly unpleasant. There’s no lasting harm, and they do work very well. Basically imagine a chemical burn throughout your nose, sinuses, and upper respiratory system that lasts 30 seconds. It works immediately and gets a very strong reaction
Would you use your VP position to do exactly what I would do and screw everyone around you for power or will you be a good little boy like Pence and let us threaten your life for supreme Executive power?
Gee, what do you think they want to use the presidency to accomplish?
Maybe I’m clutching my pearls here, but I don’t want my president to “joke” about my life. Also this “joke” is in pretty poor spirit if 20+ people needed medical attention and he’s not going to help them at all
If speed running counts I was once top 10 in the world for speed running a puzzle game. Since then I’ve dropped into the 20s and the video has been lost
The Doughboys have been joking about this on their podcast recently. One of them remarked that in Tenet you would suck poop back up your butthole. So they joke that shitting is pulling a “reverse Tenet”
Man who has never been the most popular person upset that he still isn’t popular
Man I’m glad I outgrew high school
Yeah, Steve Bannon specifically noted that World of Warcraft playing men were a fertile hunting ground for alt-right recruits. If your community has a lot of lonely men, you need to be proactive about alt-right content before you become a Nazi bar
Despite never owning one (we were a Nintendo house) I’d argue it’s the PS2. An easy thing to forget is that the PS2 was one of the cheapest DVD players for a very long time and that got video games into a lot of houses that wouldn’t have had them. Add to that some of the best games of tent pole franchises GTA3, FFX and FFXII, Kingdom Hearts, God of War, MGS3, Guitar Hero, and Tony Hawk. That generation also cemented the twin stick controller design as the standard. I really think the PS2 defined the rubric for consoles to come
JK, it’s the Wii. I helped install one in a nursing home when it came out, what other video game console had that kind of appeal? /s (but only kinda)
