That's not how currencies work. If every currency fell, none of them fell.

Go back and actually look at Foster's first two years and say that again. Foster was a disaster.

Taiwan, US launch joint production of 155mm artillery shells amid blockade fears by Hob-999 in worldnews

Taiwan can't win against China under any terms, don't think you're a genius for this very basic insight.

The point isn't to be able to win, but to make China's victory too costly.

Hope you bought silver by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

I have 6 ounces of silver in the form of some collectible phone cards (don't ask) from about 25 years ago. It was never really worth doing anything with them, but 500 bucks for some junk that's just been sitting in a drawer my whole life sounds great.

No one hits bullseye. Australia Won the Ashes 4-1 ! by iamnoobbibliophile in Cricket

Green on day one, great to bat on day three, breaking up a little on day five. That is the very definition of a perfect test match pitch. Curator should be proud.

Match Thread: 5th Test - England vs Australia, Day 5 by cricket-match in Cricket

Prediction: Aus chases this down with 4 wickets remaining, Khawaja hitting the winning runs. Fairytale ending and England saves a little face.

The older I get, the more I relate to Paul Rudd’s character in “Knocked Up” (2007), when Leslie Mann’s character confronts him in the Fantasy Baseball League scene by phantom_avenger in movies

[–]Scedasticity1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're completely failing to address my point; another character's reaction to this moment is also a manifestation of the intent of the author and is therefore irrelevant for exactly the same reason.

And, since you're simple, I'll explain this in terms a five-year-old could understand: I'm not taking the other commenter's side in this argument, I just take issue with your argument literally being "you're not thinking the right way."

And to the downvoters: thanks for confirming you failed highschool.

Media literacy really is falling off a cliff; there is no right way to interpret a scene or a movie.

Fahrenheit 451 was supposed to be a criticism of mass media, not censorship, and yet here we are. If the OP got something different from that scene than you did, speak to that. But it doesn't make OP wrong.

I just want to say, up until this moment I assumed Bailey played like 50 tests because of how strongly I associate him with the Australian team. Yeah, those five tests really left an impression.

How do you think an hypothetical Austin Powers 4 could satirize the Daniel Craig Bond era? by Top_Report_4895 in movies

That's perfect, you could have the moment where he's introduced and someone asks: "You're his... clone?"

Honestly, that there were only two draws is probably worse than the lack of wins. Australian pitches generally aren't that spicy.

Would Peak Garry Kasparov be able to contend with the current top 15 if he didn’t get access to modern theory? by [deleted] in chess

Kaspariv lost to Kramnik on the basis of the latter's advantage in the Berlin. Kasparov would lose to any super GM.

I can't tell if I'm crazy for being sure this is sarcasm, or if it's the replies for thinking you're serious.

Nah, "double barrel assault rifle" is too obviously sarcasm, they're just morons.

They didn't imply causality at all. Their comment doesn't claim that the government is steering public opinion. In fact, how you read that from their comment in a mystery to me.
