What kind of culture do you think emerges after you kill 20% of the population, plunging virtually everyone into collective grief, and destroy their entire infrastructure?

Do yourself a favor and look at your cat for a few minutes while playing the Twin Peaks theme. You will laugh hysterically and eventually start to cry.

The only silver lining to IW is that it caused Didney to think they could just half-ass stuff, only for, no, you actually have to have a plan after all. A dogshit script propped up by a solid foundation, and all they got was "ok, the next foundation can be all dogshit too." The Mouse must suffer.

The movies need to be better too, although if the price is way down, I guess that might be good enough.

So basically, if they want audiences to return, movie theaters need to hire more staff and charge less money.

Gonna be hilarious if Luigi walks because the police were too corrupt to successfully close what should have otherwise been a slam-dunk case.

Venezuela's just the first of many, and they're hoping other places will just fold instead of getting into a protracted air and ground war after this one.
And I know what you're thinking: Didn't the creation of Dubai require slaves? Yes! Good point! Noodle on that for a minute.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Man, it sucks being a enjoyer of WB's deep vault of works knowing that it all now potentially "belongs" to some dipshit tech oligarch. Superman and Bugs Bunny (and other stuff too I guess) belong to the people, damn it!

Imigration should not be restricted by any law and a person should be automatically considered a citizen of whatever nation they live within. That said, the population density of Canada, Greenland and Russia, in particular, is predicated in part on how much of these countries are full of wilderness.

You get to the stuff where he has friends (including his former bully) and goes soap opera mode with women because he stopped being a freaky nerd. Taking Ben’s advice changes his life. But he has to actively work at that. that’s the text. That’s the surface level drama of Spider-Man comic books.

Shit's so cooked for the petit and "just below billionaire" bourgeois, the dems managed to flip Miami, FL. after 30 years of resentful Cuban exiles lording over everyone else. Far as I'm concerned, they don't need to have a come to Jesus moment, they just gotta be demoralized into not voting.
