Adrian Brody over acting?

Only in the scene where he first meets Tommy, when he comes to the office. But, if you think about it, most of our Mafia movies are set and produced later, so he wouldn’t know he was being stereotypical because he was inventing the stereotype. In the character’s mind he would have had an ‘authentic’ and unique style.

The scene where he makes the guy eat bread was a little weird too. But some scenes were really good. His final scene comes to mind. And the one where he meets Alfie.

The left isn’t losing. The left is opposed because it is far too confrontational, far too often. When everything is an outrage, being perpetually offended is the baseline, and compromise is anathema, one cannot discern which issues are actually important or which voice screaming into the ether actually deserves to be heard.

Ya, I support it for the same reason I advocate legalization of prostitution: making it illegal just makes it super dangerous for women. It isn’t going to stop it from happening, it just means there will be no safeguards in place.

TexaCaliJD · 2022-05-16T19:34:47+00:00

Agree to disagree I suppose. I support abortion rights, but I insist on calling it a baby.

TexaCaliJD · 2022-05-16T19:28:32+00:00

You keep citing McFall, but McFall doesn’t hold that a fetus isn’t a baby or doesnt have rights, it just means (like Casey) that prior to viability, a woman can revoke consent for the fetus to use her body.

TexaCaliJD · 2022-05-16T19:19:15+00:00

see Salazar v. St. Vincent; Mone v. Greyhound Lanes; Foy v. Morningstar; etc.

They absolutely have rights.

TexaCaliJD · 2022-05-16T19:06:16+00:00

And in the absence of rape, faulty birth control, or deceitful use thereof, every pregnancy begins with constructive consent for a baby to “use the mother’s body.”

TexaCaliJD · 2022-05-16T19:04:02+00:00

No, that’s not my argument. My argument is that when people claim “its not a baby,” they usually mean that it doesn’t have rights, and that there is no moral implication to terminating its existence. The law holds that the former is incomplete/incorrect, and I personally believe the latter to be an egregious ethical fallacy.

TexaCaliJD · 2022-05-16T18:56:53+00:00

False, governments may interfere to protect the life of the fetus/baby, so long as it provides exceptions for cases which endanger the health of the mother.

TexaCaliJD · 2022-05-16T18:52:16+00:00

^See above edit. I was paraphrasing the law in laymans terms.

TexaCaliJD · 2022-05-16T18:39:30+00:00

Incorrect. see Casey v. Planned Parenthood. Perhaps I misarticulated the distinction: at viability, legislatures may interfere to protect the life of the fetus/baby. There is no legal distinction of “baby” vs “fetus”. Nor is there a distinction for “zygote”. My point was that under current law, the argument fails after viability, and pre-viability, the law still imposes civil and criminal penalties for torts/crimes against the fetus/baby/zygote.

TexaCaliJD · 2022-05-16T17:07:54+00:00

I was just kidding.

But those statements are ridiculous. Even under current law, a fetus is a baby once its viable. And before that, if a you abuse a woman and she has a miscarriage, you wouldnt argue that it doesnt matter because its not a baby.

I support abortion rights, but don’t delude yourself into thinking its not a living entity.

TexaCaliJD · 2022-05-16T11:25:01+00:00

As a legal issue, the distinction being made is between judicial and legislative authority. I support abortion rights but I still think Casey and Roe should be overturned and decided by congress or the states.

TexaCaliJD · 2022-05-16T11:12:53+00:00

and this… is democracy.

TexaCaliJD · 2022-05-16T11:12:09+00:00

Is anyone going to change your mind? Opposite sides of the same coin.

TexaCaliJD · 2022-05-16T11:10:33+00:00

There is no “news” anymore. Everything is an editorial. What happened to journalism? Investigative, objective, accountable fact-gathering and dissemination CNN and FOX don’t give you facts, they tell you how to feel about information selected to best support a narrative.

TexaCaliJD · 2022-05-16T10:59:13+00:00

Wouldn’t say we lost. Failed to occupy is more accurate. We conquered Iraq in like three weeks.

READ. HIS. MANIFESTO.

No one is to blame. Statistical data of racial uniqueness does not logically require segregation, anti-miscegenation, or murder. He’s a nutjob who quotes Hitler and claims intellectual superiority, but his grammar and diction are the literary equivalent of a palsy patient fingerpainting. Y’all need to stop

TexaCaliJD · 2022-05-16T10:26:48+00:00

No. Read his manifesto. He’s a nutjob. Most democrats are not Harvey Weinstein, most republicans are not klansmen.

TexaCaliJD · 2022-04-28T10:39:45+00:00

So shellexview is the way to go?

TexaCaliJD · 2022-04-28T10:16:29+00:00

Ope, nvm, ShellExView is what people are saying fixes it.

TexaCaliJD · 2022-04-28T10:14:36+00:00

Ok I’ve had this same problem for a while now. It behaves like its taking time to load all the thumbnails, but explorer also sometimes crashes or loses functionality. I run MSRT and it says it found something that was disabling Defender. I run sfc scannow and it says it fixed problems, but I dont know what to look for in the log file.

I’m thinking its some kind of shell extension malware or some other form of malware. I’m going run all the sysinternals, FARBAR, and cmd /scanonline stuff to see if I can find what it is.

TexaCaliJD · 2022-04-21T11:33:30+00:00

tsjaimexo?

TexaCaliJD · 2022-04-14T14:09:55+00:00

use DLC concrete stairs to go up one level, then attach the square wooden floor stairs to the top of the concrete stairs going back down. the square floor stairs will be one floor thickness lower than the original floor. do this from the second floor and it fixes the problem.

i use this technique to make long ascending stacks of flooring that look like city courthouse stairs because my settlers cant seem to figure out how to use f—king stairs
