What on earth is a AAA film?

It's far worse than regular gambling

Yeah reading this comment thread really reminds me how dull and disinterested in art so many people in this community are.

What's a eurodollar?

I think you need to get out more if you really believe all movies have the one point of view

This perspective is so important. The wealthy in western society are responsible for a massively disproportionate amount of emissions.

Habitually taking vasoconstrictors is almost certainly a bad idea.

This isn't really the moral dilemma you make it out to be.

Sounds like communism to me.

It's absolutely miserable isn't it. People see a headline, decide they have an important thing they must tell the world and just blurt it out. Imagine doing this in conversation. You'd overhear a fragment of conversation and

Some people seem to genuinely enjoy being people managers and excel at it. It's not always obvious in advance who those people are so I'd still recommend people try it out early in their career if they get the opportunity, particu

It was intended as a light hearted description of how it feels to use a marginally less convenient technology. I now have to ensure I have my bank card with me when I buy groceries which is a tiny bit annoying when you got used to just know

And coordinating that change would be easier you think?

Curve Pay refused to give me an account on my Murena FP6 and no local bank offers contactless without google pay, so I'm stuck using a bank card like a caveman.

That's an absurd statement. No doubt? Saddam would be pushing 90 now, odds are he would be dead anyway and who knows how that chain of events would have gone.

It appears to be the position of much of Europe's leaders too.

Did I call it a democracy? Anyway, democracy is not a binary. You'd be unlikely to call ancient Athens a democracy by modern standards and yet...

Iran elects their President. Is it a shining example of a democracy, no, but it has a much stronger democratic tradition than say Saudi Arabia. If the US and British hadn't been meddling there for the last 70 years it would probably be

Israel isn't safe? They are probably the most well defended country on the earth. A very capable domestic military and the full power of the US as an attack dog willing to do their bidding.

It won't go to a full blown war. They will bomb some stuff and declare victory. Once they sailed two carrier battle groups over there an attack of some sort was a foregone conclusion.

Not a chance. He hasn't even got the strength in his convictions to do that. Trump is just an opportunist, he'd go down like Jerry Lundegard at the end of Fargo.

James Tallerico is seen by many as a bit of a bellwether for how Trumps coalition with the religious right will hold. He's a Presbyterian minister who makes quite a big deal out of opposing Christian nationalism. If he can win Texas it

"Don't break the law" seems like a pretty low bar to clear for the most powerful person in the country.

I don't really see an equivalence between those very specific and limited acts and vast swathe of things covered by "official acts" of a President.

No he wasn't. Sorry, but being a systems engineer will never be as cool as being a revolutionary musical genius. On the plus side you probably get to live 2-3 times longer.

This is a really silly take. The whole reason for separation of powers is so that the executive can be bound by laws created by the legislative as adjudicated by the judiciary. Saying that the people in the executive are above the law under

So by your logic if you slowly exterminate a people its not genocide?
