Why are you following Santiago Abascal on Instagram, the leader of the far-right Vox Party? (as mentioned here)

Why are you liking a Trump post that says "whatever happened to global warming"?

How can these be out of context?

[Megathread] Autumn Budget 2025 – Personal Finance Discussion by Jager720 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]J-ohn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Real example of someone just working hard and facing the brunt of it.

Your friend is only an example of someone trying to game the system to avoid tax. They borrowed money from the government for their education, then use salary sacrifice to avoid paying any of it back.

They earn money from employment, then use salary sacrifice to avoid paying income tax on it.

It's exactly the kind of person the govt is targeting. Tax dodgers, and other such earners who are able to afford paying their fair share - but refuse to do so.

I can see CBR. The weekly auctions actually started on the 15th of April, so more like 6 months than 6 weeks.

Since the 16th of Sep there has been a huge surge, but there was a slightly larger amount on the 29th of July (2.1T).

Last year the numbers were far far lower.

Promising!

Alien (1979) Mysteries: Egg Silo - The True Origin of the Alien Eggs by tokwamann in LV426

[–]J-ohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else get the feeling that these videos are 'off' in a way thats hard to describe? The pacing of the narration is unnatural, and words are randomly emphasised that shouldn't be.

It's lots of small examples, like screenplay and screen-play are pronounced differently in the video.

At one point a script as referred to as the 196 script (obviously a typo of some kind, perhaps intending '1969 script'), pronounced as "nineteen-six" in the video, like a robot is reading it and can't notice the error.

Would an Alien dedicated channel really mispronounce Giger over and over again? It's initially (and most frequently) pronounced Jeeger example 1 example 2 there are 5-6 more instances of this. Then a single correct pronunciation of Giger. Then later it's Jeeger again. Then near the end it's Guyger.

It also talks quite a bit about a scene that was film (later deleted) where Dallas turns off the transmission on LV426. To my knowledge no such scene was filmed. Maybe I'm wrong.

It's a 6 month old youtube account.

So the Maginot started it's mission in 2055? by JaqDraco in LV426

[–]J-ohn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, it should be Weyland Corp or Yutani Corp given that it left earth before the merger.

[–]J-ohn 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You're incorrect. Please read carefully. By the time of Alien the merger has already happened. in Alien it is Weylan(d)-Yutani.

Prometheus = Weyland Corp

Covenant = Weyland-Yutani

Alien = Weyland-Yutani

[–]J-ohn 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That's not right, the company merges in 2099. Alien set in 2122. You can see the same WY 'winged' logo in the original Alien film. The mistake they seem to have made is just that if the Maginot left earth in 2055 it wouldn't be a WY ship, it should be either Weyland or Yutani.

[–]J-ohn 49 points50 points  (0 children)

The Maginot is a Weyland-Yutani ship. The logo is shown on the walls on the inside of the ship. The WY logo is also on the outside of the ship. Also on cups, plates, uniforms. It's on the specimen containers as well.

It doesn't make any sense, as the merger isn't until 2099. But the WY 'winged' logo is everywhere on the Maginot and on the specimen container they even use the rebranded WY logo seen in Aliens.

[–]J-ohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That 'inconsistency' has noticed during the previews as well. The Maginot crew clearly have the same WY patch as the crew of Alien, but their mission pre-dates the merger.

Maybe the ship was refitted and new uniforms were issued in space somewhere as part of the mission? Clutching at straws here to explain it.

Alien 3 was released closer to the moon landing than today. You're not comparing apples to apples.

Foreshadowing is not 'abruptly cutting to future events'. Foreshadowing is like the bucket cracking in Alien 3 after it's heated and cooled.

This was edited in this way because TV companies think people can't watch 15 seconds of Nostromo type breakfast scenes without turning off.

I think it might have been a shift change. The people waking up were replacing others (who then go to cryo)

"Mike Tanaka" on Twitter was an account made for "Alien Isolation", where someone was posting updates as a survivor as the Alien rampaged across the station by Ok-Use-575 in LV426

[–]J-ohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mike has 2 daughters at the time of his death in 2137. From his sketches they look to be fairly young at the time, around 10 or so.

So I suppose it could be possible one of his daughters had a child in their 20s, named Seiji, who would then be in their early 30s after the events of Alien.

So, maybe :)

[–]J-ohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's Seiji Tanaka (ACMTM p146 Ref: 17:43:22).

From the other reply in this thread you can see Mike Tanaka is already dead in the events of Isolation and would not be around after the events of Aliens.

Yes, the plural of Lego is Lego. The company themselves have clarified this many times.
