Business love libertarians. Not fascists.

Fascists and dictators might decide to take over your business, double the cost of your raw materials through tariffs, or suddenly change all your regulations without discussion.

Ask any economists what business likes most and it is certainty. They hate the unknown and risk. Even if the policies aren’t their favorite, if they’re fixed and stable, they’ll find a way to work them.

Sure. Absolutely correct for pressing down on a button or something similar

For other stuff, it’s not common, but I think it’s technically correct.

Depending on what it is, “compress” might be a better term than “depress”, though.

Literally a quote from the article:

“Not an anti-porn crusade, that’s absolutely not it, but actually understanding that for some people, a significant number of people, porn does lead to harms. And how do we actually begin to do something and address that?”

This isn’t some pearl-clutching religious group putting out the report. It’s a professional group of therapists.

Ethiopian Coptics are some of the oldest Christian groups in the world. You could (and I think they do) argue they predate Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox.

The downside of not having any major corporation defend his IP for infringing on their profits is that you see tons of counterfeit Calvin stuff that is very out of character. Used to see more of it. Thankfully as the strip hasn’t been over-promoted, he’s not mega popular, so I don’t feel like you see it as much as you used to

Ray Charles beat them all (kinda, sometimes)

MadTV did a good skit about this years ago

Right move. Wrong reason.

No one is “safe” but there’s clearly a difference at a macro level of different regions. House to house isn’t a difference, but with so many people working full-remote, people are able to choose which cities they live in, so that comparative data is still useful.

He’s been amazing in more dramatic roles many times. Watch “The Foreigner (2017),” “Shinjuku Incident (2009),” and “New Police Story (2004).”

That said, he’s had issues - cozied up to the Xi regime, issues with alcohol and drunk driving, a son in frequent trouble with the law where Daddy bailed him out… So you have to hold his nose a bit to watch movies. And he’s clearly got a bit of the Nic Cage in him where he can do some great stuff, but also doesn’t seem to say no to anything, so he does a lot of trash movies.

Chadwick Bowsman in anything, but I would have loved it if he could have had a real close to the Black Panther character. If I have a magic wand I’d cure his cancer, of course. But even giving him just a few more years so he could give that character a worthy send off and better set up the rest of his universe.

Don’t sleep on “A Knight’s Tale”

A real, functional minimum wage across all jobs (close the loopholes around tips, piecemeal work, etc). Have it pegged to inflation so it stays a living wage.

Spending the day working in a field, in a factory, etc you don’t do a lot of socializing.

Some of the DVD/Blu-ray versions of “GalaxyQuest” have the entire movie dubbed into the weird screeching alien language as a quirky bonus feature.

They’re creating their own events, separate from the official Olympics

Funny that the article doesn’t talk about Pacific Rim, which was definitely a departure from his normal dark, gothic, practical effects-driven horror/drama.

How Simon broke River out is pretty significantly different, that’s the biggest one. A few other small things.

And I refuse to consider “Serenity” canon for other obvious reasons.

Between the Joss factor and the fact that the heroes are obviously based on “lost cause” confederates, who today are all racists hicks, it’s hard to watch now. But it’s soooo well made.

How can it be canon to both the show and the movie? The movie wasn’t in the same canon as the show.

The article never mentions Australia. The reporter is from the American ABC. Everything mentioned here, including Disney, the $15 million, the reporter… all American.

No one here is talking about Australia except you
