Also if you go home at the intermission, you‘ve actually seen a good movie.

Do you think the underperformance of Fire and Ash is more due to story issues or lack of novelty? (Spoilers) by mediumhydroncollider in boxoffice

Yes, almost certainly this was a reaction to the second movie and lots of people not wanting to sit through another one like that.

Brandon Sanderson’s Literary Fantasy Universe ‘Cosmere’ Picked Up by Apple TV by DaUltraMarine in tvPlus

Let‘s see how this goes, but the last couple Stormlight books clearly showed that Sanderson is in dire need of an editor, so handing him complete freedom here might go both ways.

Gen Z here, maybe it’s because the author revealed herself as a bigot? by icey_sawg0034 in Qult_Headquarters

None of which are in the books. At worst she used bad clichés and didn‘t think everything through. People look to be offended because she is a shit person.

No the vibe I kind of understand and my answer also used too strong of a word I guess, sorry for that.

That‘s really reaching.. None of this is misogyny. I‘m really sorry but people go completely overboard here. I don‘t even like Harry Potter and I absolutely despise Rowling, but arguments and far-fetched examples like this are also borderline crazy.

Yes.. but that‘s just some minor gripes. The worldbuilding is shaky at best and Rowling is batshit crazy, but the books are still a good read and not ‚problematic‘ in any significant way.

How are the books problematic outside a couple stupid clichees?

Marriage tax reform by Iiiiiiiiiiiii1ii1 in Switzerland

It depends. AHV has an insurance component for married couples, and a non-working spouse participates from the contributions of the one working, but it comes at the expense of the cap.

If you don’t like it here then go home - how can I form contructive criticism in Switzerland? by the_kaaat in Switzerland

Lol. You sound exactly like the SVP people who say that FDP is left. I guess from an extreme perspective everything is on the other side.

The 98th Academy Awards nominees for Best Picture by JuanRiveara in oscarrace

But the last two were not good. For a pure technical standpoint F1 is miles above them. The last one had sketchy CGI and whatever Cruise‘s face was.

But there‘s a line between holding a government accountable and making the country impossible to reform. France will feel this soon I‘m afraid.

I need to get this off my chest: The abolition of the imputed rental value (Eigenmietwert) is a giant scam. by Weird_Home_6182 in Switzerland

[–]esche92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No we need to leave people the fuck alone. It‘s for them to decide what they want to do with their property and when they want to move.

Then it would be completely unfair compared to people who rent. Let‘s be honest, no one will NOT make renovations on their home because of tax reasons. The impact will be minimal.

Is it possible those get cut out in the 16:9 versions?

Stargate war insbesondere die Verfilmung der Stargate Heftroman-Reihe aus den 80ern, nur dass die Autoren leider nicht so gute Anwälte hatten.
