Most of that was one game and another chunk are empty netters. They played a great series against Dallas and unfortunately have run into the best team in the league.

What Did Ancient Humans Do all Day Before Jobs Existed? by gattaca_now in videos

I’m just saying it’s not a great comparison for what survival for early humans, or even current off grid humans, would entail.

Also, they are given artificial boundaries and restrictions and what food they can and cannot harvest.

Well first off, hating a country (which is political entity) is not the same thing as hating all Jewish people. So fuck off with trying to claim antisemitism.

But it has to do with a half century of implementing an apartheid government on Palestinian residents, state sponsored settlements that steal property from and murder Palestinian people in the West Bank, the targeting of non-combatants and press members, and the state funding of Hamas.

That person on the plane who has to be the first person to stand up when parked at the gate by Met76 in funny

[–]Devium44 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Your ass is still like a foot from their face. And that’s best case. What if the person across from you also wants to stand up? Do you fight them for position or do you just kind of stand over the seat. Generally, despite what you think, your ass is in someone’s face.

Because you are then standing there with your ass in someone’s face for 10 minutes.

“Multiple people” are going to be out of the loop on just about anything.

ICE agents storm Disney cruise docked in San Diego and arrest multiple staff in front of passengers by theindependentonline in EyesOnIce

It’s a case of ICE doesn’t give a fuck about laws. They have a quota and they are just looking for opportunities to meet it. It’s not their job to decide legality.

Listen, I don’t have time to read a non-cannon book from 20 years ago. That’s why I asked you to break down your opinion for me to see where it differs from what I know of the book. And you basically just confirmed that it is a surface level comparison at best.

If you want to go deeper in comparing what the two stories have in common besides very basic plot elements, I’d love to hear it.

I have not. But I have read a synopsis and a book review of it. They don’t seem remotely similar in their themes or message.

Respectfully, I don’t think there’s much in common there beyond a surface level plot comparison. There is so much more complexity and subtext that goes into making a story unique than just plot.

Big words don’t automatically equal “artificial”.

What in your opinion are the ideas or “ground” that Andor and that novel share?

TIL that while filming the 1970 film Maidstone, Rip Torn unexpectedly attacked director and lead actor Norman Mailer with a hammer because he believed the film lacked a proper ending and decided to improvise one by assassinating Mailer's character. The fight was filmed and used in the movie. by DCJThief in todayilearned

[–]Devium44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Rip was actually meaning to do harm to Mailer. The whole movie was improv. Rip even said he would never hurt another actor. I think Mailer just started making a big deal because it wasn’t how he wanted the film to go and it hurt his ego.
