Oh, that would be a good rewatch.
I rewatched Reservoir Dogs last year or so for the first time in like 15 years and it was amazing.
In the US, especially in the 90’s, there were a lot promotional mailers, TV ads, and so on to prey on people’s desperation and ignorance that were sent out that would say that the person has “a chance to win $1M!” or “may have already won!”
Of course, I’ve never heard of anyone who actually won anything from them. It was probably just a data collection thing or asking people to send $20 to enter the fake lottery, I’m not sure. But, I have to admit, I did join a lot of those because I was a kid and I thought it’d be fun or easy and my dad would humor me by going through the process—or, at least, pretend that he did. We never won anything though.
I’m a bit sick so I comfort watched Rush Hour 1 and 2 last night.
Some aspects didn’t age great, but they’re still really fun movies for 90’s sensibilities.
But a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for Trump!
It would be so funny on many levels if the Zionists didn’t stop until they reached Berlin.
Ikiru. Harakiri. The Human Condition. Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters.
Kumite!
Loved his movies as a kid. Glad to hear he cleaned up.
God is great!
Please keep being great.
Millennial/Gen Z doom spending?
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! I know! I know!
Pick me!
It’s startling and confusing at times, honestly.
I feel like I must be misreading or having a stroke until I figure it out.
the entity’s own interception missiles hit themselves.
That’s slapstick comedy level hilarious. They’re really not ready to fight one actually well-armed military, much less open multiple fronts.
Death to the Zionist Entity.
True on both counts but I do think both points would drive him to push Ukraine to accept a peace deal which he would think makes him look great but in reality just gives Putin what he wants. Between NATO and Nazis, I’m not opposed to giving Putin what he wants at this point.
I don’t see many chances of the US backing down of striking Russia by use of Ukraine, specially as they likely accept their own propaganda that Russia won’t or can’t do anything, so we unfortunatelly might know soon enough.
I could be wrong, and of course if it did happen it would happen with different motives, but deescalating in Ukraine is why I’m hoping for Trump to win. I don’t want more people to die over this NSDAP NATO bullshit.
You want to walk into a local government, much less a federal, building and they’ll inspect your tracts to make sure everything is safe for those ghoul politicians. But a whole ecosystem is at stake and no one can be bothered to do anything to prevent damage, except asking nicely after-the-fact.
Unpopular opinion but parks should have rigorous screening and inspections of people and property upon entry to find and execute anyone with Cheetos.
Rubbish. I wanted to see William getting pegged.
“The Germans started a form of blackmail against the surviving Russian war prisoners,” war correspondent Alexander Werth notes. “[E]ither go into the Vlasov Army or starve.” The overwhelming majority of Soviet POWs refused the offer, and about 2 million POWs who were given the choice of collaboration or starvation between 1942 and 1945 chose death before they would aid the [Axis]. But many thousands of Russians did join the invaders as porters, cooks, concentration camp guards, and informers, and later as fighting troops under [Axis] control.⁷
I wonder if this is the actual origin of that story that Soviets would kill themselves rather than be taken prisoners by the Nazis because they ‘knew’ that if they were ever released back to the Soviets that they would be allegedly tortured and killed for Nazi collaboration.
From what I understand PRC adopted a general nonintervention, neutral stance after being a little wild at the beginning.
But this is a major failure of responsibility and should be a reason to revisit that stance, at least in extreme circumstances. Who knows what they might be doing in the background that we don’t know about though.
