Didn’t he snap because he was in traffic to work and his AC broke, and then at a corner store, the clerk wouldn’t give him change so he could use a payphone? The McDonald scene is iconic, but by that part, he’s already smashed up a convenience store and stolen a gun from a gang, so he was beyond snapped.
If they delay so they don’t have a special election, wouldn’t it be up to the governor to appoint a new Senator? That seems worse for Republicans, since Andy Beshear is a Democratic governor.
You can’t hold both positions at the same time, but I think being on the ballot for multiple positions varies from state to state, not sure how it is in NY?
in 2008, Biden was running for VP and for his Senate seat, winning both. He was sworn in as Senator and then resigned like a week later before being sworn in as VP.
Have you never heard of TRANSformers??
Ha at least you had the chance to change your flag. I don’t think Australia ever got as close as New Zealand did to changing it.
This may be the best gif ever made
Australia & New Zealand. The two are too similar and IMO keeping the Union Jack on your flag while being an independent nation adds to the confusion. Canada had the right idea with the maple leaf.
Do you need an account to turn on enhanced privacy features?
idk about you but never had an issue with chase’s website on Firefox that prevented me from using it.
Ok that makes sense. Still it sounds like he was regurgitating the findings of a study of frog behavior in polluted environments, and then creating a conspiracy theory around it. How was anything he added correct information on top of the preexisting evidence?
Wasn’t his thing with the frogs turning gay that the government was putting something in the water turning frogs and people gay? Maybe I don’t have a complete understanding of his hypothesis but how was he right about this?
It may seem like not much changed, but it was one of the motivating factors for the big push for TLS everywhere after it was revealed that PRISM was tapped into and mirroring unencrypted communications. Also Signal probably wouldn’t be as popular as it now, with people still using unencrypted communications.
One of the NSA’s missions is to protect all of the federal government’s computer networks from cyber-terrorism. You could argue that in light of what Snowden revealed, the increased focus of security and encryption did more to protect all of the federal government’s computer networks from cyber-terrorism than any other NSA initiative ever.
FWIW, his passport was revoked while on a layover in Russia from Hong Kong to Cuba for an intended final destination of Ecuador. This is what caused him to seek asylum in Russia because that was his only option. His involvement with wikileaks during this time is suspicious knowing what we know now, but it seems to me he either got stuck in Russia because of the US or because of Wikileaks, and he didn’t knowingly have a relationship with Russia before getting stuck there.
I’d imagine for criminals, being the 101st Most Wanted is the sweet spot. If you robbed a bank or something, you probably got away with a lot to be Most Wanted, and there are bigger fish who the feds are after. More popular and you have more people after you and have to go into serious hiding. Less popular and your crime probably didn’t net you much.
Some men aren’t looking for anything logical, some men just want to watch the world burn. Was there any meaningful improvement to anyone Bin Laden cared about after 9/11, or did he expect there to be? Seems like for a terrorist by definition is looking to cause maximum terror, not improving anyone’s life.
Do they mention if the trackers were private? It’ll be interesting to see in discovery the details of the trackers and which ones are being monitored by the industry.
Funny Games shouldn’t really count because it’s the same director with an actual budget to do what he wanted to do in the first place.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
It seems more likely to me that the administration and various 3 letter agencies couldn’t connect the dots with the information they had, rather than a vast conspiracy of them enabling or orchestrating the terrorist event that makes them look stupid, and then getting everyone involved to stay silent for 25+ years.
Some of that plot sounds like You Were Never Really Here which is a great movie though, although less of a critique of modern society like Falling Down is, and more about a guy destroying a human trafficking network.
