The millions in bribe, erh I mean in a weak ass settlement, weren’t enough?

Got to kiss the ring, pay the king and shoot the jester too?

I can’t wait for the Lèse-Majestée laws to come next. /s

First Larry David, now Trump!

Right-wing 101: “we need to destroy social safety net X because the immigrants/criminals/lazy/fraudsters are smooching it from hard-working, honest citizens!”

Translation: we need to take services away from the working class so gazillionaires can have an extra tax break and buy a bigger yacht to put their current yacht on.

And with this heat? No thank you.

Just when I warmed up to the idea that NATO was a necessary evil to counter Putin’s worse evil.

The current tech-related usage was coined at MIT to mean working on a system. Funny that the oldest recorded source comes from MIT model railroad team.

“Prosperity Gospel” seems such a copout for cult-leaders to justify getting rich on their congregation.

So much for “eye of a needle”…

That sounds like it would be a pretty simple program […] but I don’t know anything about programming

As a programmer, that phrase tends to raise my blood pressure. But it depends on how they structure their data but since all the elements are already related, it should be easy to query them all together. I bet they’ve abandoned it more because the query UI is a bit dense for most. But nothing that could be replaced with a simple textbox that could take any combination of cast/crew/titles and find anything that matches the combination. But they might need to add some specific indexing that would use up additional resources.

Pretty much, closed forums, removed or paywalled features. Right now, they are on yet another iteration of dumbing down the UI to the point of being nearly useless.

IMDB used to have an amazing cross-search. You could put any combination of actor, crew, movie/show title and it would bring out common movies/shows.

I’m not forgetting anything. I’m just enjoying two enemies fight it out.

You’d be surprised. The biggest gambler I know is the biggest cheapskate.

Some people are built differently.

I have no impulsion to gamble either. But one of my family members? So much money burned at casinos.

Flat Earthers vs. flat Sunners fight!

long faces

Nope.

And some home cinema receivers do offer this option. Often labeled something like “night listening mode”.

I’ve found upgrading my front center speaker has greatly improved dialogue. I had my speakers from a home cinema kit and the center front was a puny crappy speaker.

During hot summers, windows are partially open (AC not common in European homes). For a couple of years, there was this one gull who took the surrounding rooftops as its place to be. It would perch on a corner and just yell it’s damn lungs off randomly at all times of the day.

I also saw one gull trying to fuck up a crane (the bird) today. And another summer, one gull tried to eat a baby duckling. Duck momma went nuclear and smacked that gull into giving up.

Funny thing is he’s the first American pope.

You’d think that counts for something and they would be yelling “USA! USA! USA!”. But nah, a pope espousing some actual Christian values is terrible according to them.

5-6 years conversion and then killing the pope using his cringe. What a run!

Maybe keep him away from this one? Throw him a nice leather couch to distract him.

Watch out, some just double-down when they feel dumb.

There’s a reason that movement is so anti-intellectual and don’t care for facts.
