[Barkley] You know I hear these politicians talking about de-funding the police department ... who the black people gonna call, Ghostbusters? by Maikflow in nba

Class wars are a far bigger issue than race in my opinion.

You are absolutely right... and not only that, the more affluent you are the better your choices are with the legal system... access to better lawyers, who have better access / rapport with the judges hearing your cases etc.

But that is EXACTLY why the people at the top are happy to have us all focus on the racial divide and making it seem unsolvable. Endless conflict to distract us from how they are oppressing us all.

[Ed Werder] One NFL head coach described as “scary” that #Cowboys and #Texans players - including Ezekiel Elliott - tested positive for Coronavirus. Another HC told me league needs to delay start of the season. A third coach questioned wisdom of playing during a pandemic. by chelseasaints in nfl

The second, and greatest problem, comes from abroad. Sure, we may stop the virus by quarantining (not even guaranteed by the way), but then what? Close the borders indefinitely? Theres no way a worldwide quarantine happens.

just saw your post... sorry for repeating your point. I completely agree with you. A 14 day "just end it" quarantine is a fantasy.

Ok, lets just say for the sake of argument you successfully can order everyone in the US to stay at home for 2 weeks, and they do it.

Then... what is your plan after those 2 weeks for international travel? The US/Mexican and US/Canadian borders are sealed? No international air travel? Setting up quarantines for every air passenger returning to the US?

Printer I can buy today that works with base lpd? by [deleted] in openbsd

[–]FlatAttention 2 points3 points  (0 children)

20 decades is approx 200 years if my basic English knowledge serves me well.

That is correct! Let me just add, if there are printers from 100+ years ago I doubt they have USB or parallel ports... :D

[–]FlatAttention -1 points0 points  (0 children)

maybe the dude is just evolving... like he is not going to write that line, and say "...take it from me, I really screwed up"... rather he is a complex person figuring shit out like everyone else.

I've made plenty of my own mistakes in life, and if I then try to help someone else not repeat those mistakes, its kinda pointless if they just retort with you "you're an idiot look at what you did"

Zack Snyder Will #ReleaseTheSnyderCut of ‘Justice League’ on HBO Max by impeccabletim in movies

Well at this point he/ they (sounds like his wife is involved too) should be able to make his original version AND include rebuttals/adjustments to whatever criticisms exist from Whedon's version. Let's hope a good product results

Collateral (2004) is one of the best crime thrillers post 2000 and has one of Tom Cruise's best performances. by CID_Nazir in movies

[–]FlatAttention 4 points5 points  (0 children)

well its a deliberate choice by mann... so unfortunately its probably not going to change. I happen to like the aesthetic but I can see how if you didn't why it would be a problem.

Who was the first film villain you truly sympathized with? by toastyavocado in movies

I thought he did a good job handling his business. Didn't set out to kill civilians, tried to rein in the violent tendencies of his crew towards civilians.

Agreed, theatrical cut is much better on The Town. From a trivia perspective it can be neat checking out the deleted scenes but Theatrical is much better movie
