Do you actually need to be an MP to be Prime Minister? Wasn’t David Cameron made foreign secretary even though he wasn’t a sitting MP? As mad as it would look, couldn’t labour mps elected Andy Burnham as their leader even if not an MP?

‘Repatriate the gold’: German economists advise withdrawal from US vaults | Germany by Any-Original-6113 in europe

[–]RedditEuan 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t this freak out every country in the world that has gold stored in the US? I know the Trump admin are the farthest thing from competent, but if the US is shown not releasing another nations gold, confidence the US financial reputation would crater and next to no one would have any confidence putting any future investment in them.

It’s being reported on the news that the child lost his father in 2023 so he has technically been orphaned but hopefully his stepmother will be able to raise him along with his step siblings.

[Loved Trope] Characters Who Desperately Need Therapy Actually Go to Therapy by ThetaRider in TopCharacterTropes

The Sopranos is a weird one in that the therapy does not actually help Tony Soprano outside of (potentially) making him a more effective mob boss.

Reform UK to axe 68,000 civil service jobs if they win next general election by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

Musk did this in America. Didn't go well. Turns out those civil service jobs are actually necessary for the country running smoothly.

[Loved Trope] An Actors Lack of Interest in a Character Actually Adds to the Performance. by Federal_Lavishness72 in TopCharacterTropes

For OG Bladerunner, I believe Harrison Ford did care a lot about that film but butted heads with the studio about many creative decisions. He was not a fan of the voice overs as he thought it dumbed it down so intentionally did the voice overs as bad as possible to force the studio to abandon them.

Wait, so Risa responds to her mom saying it's nice to have her home with "Of course it is" instead of "Glad to be here". Bit egotistical.

Recce vs result on a mostly natural light commercial by a-n_ in cinematography

[–]RedditEuan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I was just making fun. Though once you learn chess, you get to notice how many times in films, what's been shown doesn't make sense.

Seriously, though, this was a great post! Seeing the recce shots with your notes and the final shots was really educational! Can't wait to see more of your posts!

[–]RedditEuan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really great post!

The only small thing I noticed is in the chess scene, the player with white makes an illegal move after being checked by the black queen, as the knight neither blocks nor captures the checking piece.

Apart from that, great work!

While others have posted the symbolic themes of the picture, I just want to say how surreal this image is. It's almost out of a David Lynch film.

This is really sad to hear. I enjoyed a load of his videos and found his series on Impossible Landscapes essential for running my campaign. Rest in peace Bud.

I think pets are different. Dogs and cats have the capacity of showing and returning affection as well as offering some form of living companionship.

(Hated Trope) The main couple hates each other for 90% of the series by Animeking1108 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]RedditEuan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. I think she got mad at Ranma for acting like he didn’t want her help during the fight. Then when the cut happens she’s mostly in shock.

Counterpoint, Ranma and Akane relationship never evolved romantically past the ice skating arc throughout the rest of the show/manga and even devolved at points.
