I believe you've entirely missed the point I was making, as there are only humans in James Bond films and they're mostly (entirely?) "bad" people.

Interesting short piece... but I can't help but notice it never addresses F's very normal-seeming life, which would invalidate the title. Perhaps every artist's life is weird? Perhaps weirdness makes for a good artist, but

Very interesting, I was with you in the first half of your comment. But Hereditary is one of my favorite movies. And Men In Black is one of my least favorite, for these reasons. MIB is a disgusting film because it is utterly dehumanizing of

Probably does, but if you pay close attention to the moths around your house over a year, I expect you'll exceed your estimates by an order of magnitude at least. They're incredibly diverse. (And many are super small, that you pro

I'm surprised that large amounts of dead code is neither an obvious-to-machines nor an obvious-to-humans problem or demerit with submitted assignments -- regardless of plagiarism status. I'd especially have thought such a clunky

Funny of you to say that so authoritatively when you're only demonstrating my point: there is no one correct way to replace bold text when you can't use bold text.

Huh, I wasn't aware of such a viewpoint. I've never had or heard of problems with HIPAA preventing timely or accurate care, even with my father going in and out of hospice toward the end of his fight with cancer. I'm really s

Forcibly removing books (about very specific topics related to oppressed cultural minorities) from public school libraries is not the same thing as enacting a national ban on printing or trading those books, no. But it's a lot closer t

That was my point. The Earth isn't flat, but its surface is very smooth. You give the average ocean depth at 3.7km, but the Earth's diameter is about 12,742km, making those bumps pretty insignificant. If you cover your countertop
