I disagree. It's more fitting than deliberately contrary. I would possibly see it if film had a point of being deliberately against the events depicted. A better of example of what I'm thinking is the story of the anti-piracy orga

This is good. A major problem has been that cities have been built to accommodate cars which then enforces the need for them. Cities should be human-scale. Obviously, there will still be a longer-distance transportation which can hopefully

I could've sworn this came out years ago. Odd it's suddenly something everyone seems to be talking about.

To take it a step further, locksmithing should be considered. Mechanical locks are devices which open when given a particular numerical sequence. This doesn't just apply to combination locks but also to keyed locks as keys just represe

Unless there were a state (consumer) bank, the implication of a cashless society is that it ought to be a illegal for people not to use private banks. In my mind this effectively make banks an extension of the state apparatus without the so

To be fair I think it was more a joke about the acronym being overloaded. LGBT on its own is already longer than it needs to be with 2/3 ways of saying 'attracted to people of the same gender or sex' but it then gets extended
