Staff: “But we don’t have to if we work remotely, right.”

JP Morgan Chase: “No remote work.”

Bombs boats from Venezuela.

Loses to opposition leader from Venezuela.

Fucking comedy gold.

The orange felon will absolutely treat them being charged as worse than the 34 felonies he was convicted of.

The past 8 or 9 months has been the longest decade of my life.

Also bypassing laws through executive order and ignoring court decisions.

Straight up dictatorship.

To add to that excellent summary, the first Predator movie started off as a testosterone fueled action movie that then flipped to a horror movie where the macho soldiers were afraid of the unknown and only one survived by being clever and resourceful instead of shooting his way out. It was the first popular movie to turn action movie protagonists into victims, and someone who saw it mote recently would have that idea spoiled by yhe many movies that Predator inspired even though I haven’t seen one that did it nearly as well.

Some sequels definitely work, such as Prey, even though they don’t have the same thrill of not knowing the monster. They succeed by having good characters who need to overcome the threat of the Predator(s). It isn’t like movies about real world predator animals can’t work even though we know their capabilities.

Cannot be worse, as Vance can’t rile up the fascist voter base and the whole maga bullshit would lose steam.

When it is used to deflect from context that suggests a cause it is dismissing.

Like any kind of protest or political action they work often enough to get push back from those in power but are not a guarantee. Their scope also needs to be proportional to what they are boycotting, so the larger the company or political power the more coordination and number of people it takes to get results.

Last year there was a boycott of Sabra, which makes hummus, that successfully changed the ownership from half Pepsi Co and an Israeli company to get the Israeli company to divest. It had a clear goal and a single type of product that was easy for people to understand and get behind the boycott. If someone wanted to boycott Pepsi Co, which not only makes soda but also owns a ton of restaurants and other things, it would be extremely difficult as they could weather the losses in one area due to the scope of the company as a whole.

The Montgomery bus boycott during the US Civil Rights era was extremely successful.

He chose to not listen to medical advice for cancer and instead dragged things out with ‘alternative medicine’ long enough that real medical treatment wouldn’t be successful anymore but still pulled strings to get a transplant.

He was nuts.

When referring to diseases, yeah, but there was also a lot of death from wars and other violence, severe injuries from dangerous labor, and labor was pretty risky. If one was healthy and avoided injury they were certainly on par with modern life spans.

Or even an adult who has never gone camping being dropped in the middle of Alaska, the Amazon, or the Ghobi desert. Odds of survival are low and they are gonna suffer from starvation, thirst, getting sick from eating/drinking from the wrong sources, or being prey to something they don’t know how to avoid. Maybe all four!

If they were born and raised in captivity their odds of survival are pretty low. Like someone who always lived in a large city and never went camping being dropped off in Alaska odds of survival.

Rehabilitation only helps so much without the actual experience of growing up with other members of their species in the wild.

Edit: Of course the adults in the wild are the ones that survived until adulthood so I still lean towards attempts to rehabilitate and release, just noting it isn’t as simple as releasing.

It isn’t the only place, but it is one of the few where the content is somewhat searchable on top of just having a very large amount of content.

Plus people like to stick with what they know.

Kirk might have caught a stray bullet from a hunter. We can’t just start speculating!

What is your job again?

Ignore context harder daddy!

That far right extremists keep perpetuating violence based on far right propaganda and that assuming this is one of those is along the same lines as assuming Kirk was intentionally shot and it wasn’t just a random stray bullet.

Sure, we should stay open to the possibility that it is unrelated. But automatically dismissing what is likely to be intentional is ridiculous. She had been receiving death threats, and this would be one way to follow through.

I do work in web development and understand logic and assumptions. What are your credentials?

Found Stephen Miller’s account.

and don’t have professional writers for the script, or directors framing the scene, or a 3rd person view of others’ reactions where the best one is selected from multiple takes
