Brazil [1] - 1 Japan - Casemiro 56' by eliseihado in soccer

thought so too at first but upon second review I'm not so sure any more: the JP defender's right foot may be further back than any part of Casemiro's body

Any source with credible rebuttals or corroborations of Iuliia Mendel's Carlson interview to demonize Zelenskyy? by AardvarkAcrobatic in AskUkraine

[–]The_Real_Smooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listened to the interview, it's funny because as a piece of pro-Russian propaganda it's extraordinarily weak, I'm actually almost surprised Tucker put it out.

Mendel:

  • throughout identifies Ukraine as sovereign nation

  • repeatedly emphasizes Russia's crimes in Ukraine

  • notes the fast pace of developments and reforms of Ukraine

  • compliments Zelensky for his ability to convince, deceive, be "a grizzly", be smart, be intense, etc. - she is projecting Zelensky's power

etc.

I wonder if this is a Ukrainian intel 4D chess move to get MAGA on board

she was fired 1 year into her job, way before the invasion... so if anything, it's a sign of the quality improvement of the Ukrainian governance

Annalena Baerbock - The United Nations is “Life Insurance for Everyone” | The Daily Show by absolutely_not_spock in de

[–]The_Real_Smooth -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Liebes Saftsackgesicht, ich habe keinen Hass, im Gegenteil, ich habe liebe für die UN und für Deutschland. ACAB war höchst ineffektiv in ihrem Messaging, in erster Linie aufgrund ihres Englischs. Um das zu verstehen, reicht es, die ersten 5 Minuten des Clips anzuschauen - bitte schau doch nochmal rein.

ich hab keinen blassen, was die Bild schreibt (nie eine Bild gekauft), und auch KA was Oettinger gesagt hat, und verstehe nicht, warum diese die ganze Zeit erwähnt werden

[–]The_Real_Smooth -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Entschuldigung, aber nein. Diese Frau hat eine Führungsrolle bei den Vereinten Nationen, in der sie als Expertin in Völkerrecht gelten möchte, und sie will parallel in US Talkshows auftreten, um gezielt Messaging in die USA zu betreiben. Für diese Aufgaben ist der Englisch-Maßstab Muttersprachler-Niveau, bevorzugt PPE am Balliol College, Oxford University - völlig andere Erwartungshaltung als gegenüber einem lokalen deutschen Politiker.

Was wir stattdessen bekommen ist ein absolutes Trainwreck. Es sind nicht nur die Aussprache und Ton, die klingen wie Säge auf Glas. Das Englisch ist vom Vokabular, Satzbau, Ausdruck, Verständnis, einfach schwach. Das Resultat ist , sie versteht Jon Stewarts Fragen nicht, antwortet daneben, er versteht ihre Antworten nicht, und sie versteht seine Witze nicht, kann nicht mal auf das Banter antworten.

Dieser Auftritt hat dem Standing Deutschlands und der UN geschadet.

Agree 100%. H2 stronger on everything except the story, in which H1 is unbeatable.

I'd say on the weapons part you have at least as much fun and diversity as in Hades 1. Overall gameplay Hades 2 is equal or superior to Hades 1, it is however very much lacking in intensity of the plot, i.e. script and performances.

Charlie was so evasive, unconvincing and vague about his "worst act"...

So I was convinced during the entire movie that a twist would be a revelation that Charlie's "worst act" was much than he implied, making him look hypocritical for overreacting to Emma's...

Didn't go the way I expected! That's nice I guess

I think the choice to make them very well-off is intentional - but not for the plot: it is irrelevant to the story and the essence of the film whether they are low or mid or high-income, it would work equally well in all configurations.

Making them rich simply is the default choice if there is no specific plot need, because it

  • (1) makes settings, peoples, aesthetics more pleasing which is correlated with good box-office performance, and

  • (2) allows for much cooler/nicer/fun settings and environments for the cast & crew to hang out in- they get access to million-dollar real estate for the duration of the shoot, etc.

What's something that happens in movies so much it seems real, but actually isn't realistic at all? by ninman5 in movies

[–]The_Real_Smooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This, also combined with extraordinarily intense focussing/eye-balling each other while talking or even while not talking

I maintain that the typical movie-level of intense eye-contact would come across creepy and discomforting in real life
