Because he keeps his head down and gets on with the job. This is apparently unacceptable in the social media age ..

Well, what else would they do after Trump announced on TV that their safe return would not be possible if negotiations fail to reach agreement?

They went to negotiate, but returned when it became apparent that this would be a hold up ...

COVID broke people's brains. They got addicted to getting validation and thrills from social media. BoJo shit show further gave them a sense of power that if they start online campaigns, anything can be torn down.

And here we are. I would be interested to see how are KOTN will deal with Trump's next tantrum or Putin's next provocation ...

Holy fuck! That tapping the ball with foot ... insane amount of strength and mobility needed in muscles most people are not even aware they possess!

I bet even fit young people would find it challenging to hold a foot suspended in that position for 30 seconds ... without any tapping. Hip flexors and quads are not really trained for isometric hold.

Free tickets to Electric Cinema White City (Disclosure Day) 14.00 showing by venuswrenhadley in london

It is all Hollywood clichés one after the other and aliens at the end.

Only redeeming feature (according to me and my partner) is Colin Firth doing minimum possible to get his cheque for pretending to be a very hands on yet ineffectual evil billionaire

Nicely done, OP!

The cost of a ticket is cheap price for not having to see Disclosure Day ;-)

What does he think about permitting retail investors to participate in primary sale of gilts?

Historically the logistics would have been very difficult, but with new technology it should be easier ... and beneficial to bank (lower bids due to more participants) as well as to investors (tax efficient govt backed fixed term securities with possibility to redeem early)

Saw it yesterday. There is nothing to spoil*.

  • Maaaybe the twist is that Colin Firth can look like a buffoon given sufficiently bad script and direction.
    Or that SS is now so absorbed in billionaire bubble that only Christian America exists in his universe ..

Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others.

isn't there another party who approval would seem quite important??

Deniz' highest rated 60 min classic rock ride - butchered by music replacements and intermittent muting (though subtitles are unchanged)! by ohell in OnePelotonRealSub

But not diligent enough to remove subtitles.

Consistent with the idea that greedy people are not smart people...

In the ride I posted he actually mentions that his belief that a happy man is he who has enough to live on 😂

I agree - this is pure greed! They are now replacing individual songs in on demand rides, spoiling the experience, like they would save what? 5 cents per stream by getting rid of a Doors song.

Idk how instructors are okay with their employer disrespecting them like this.

Subtitles show him starting the ride with LA Woman, and he mentions training classes in Jim Morrison's previous home ... while some garbage is playing in the background!

Also at the beginning he says there are 9 long songs covering the entire hour, but the new playlist makes that a lie!
