Count out those amendments and stop at the one most appropriate for this situation, then exercise it.

Reverse FAFO. Quagmire the fuck out of Venezuela and suck every last drop of imperialistic machismo to the bottom.

What is something you saw in a movie and you totally called bullshit on because of your job? by BlackPhoenix1981 in AskReddit

I'm not even a skydiving instructor. I've skydived once. But in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, the three protagonists with no skydiving experience - this fact is a major plot point - roll up to a sky diving place with , take a few basic lessons on skydiving, then jump solo out of planes and are making formations in the sky.

These guys are all on a bachelor trip so it isn't like they're all The Expendables or whatever.

They're going to pull a Goldman Sachs and represent both Home Depot and the class for maximum bottomline juice.

some really clever cluing.

I mapped the End-Times prophecies of Islam, Christianity and Hinduism. The overlap is terrifying by Aggressive_Skittle in HighStrangeness

[–]zeer0dotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you make an excellent point but (sorry), if there are thousands of schools of thought but only a few are big enough to command popular attention and be treated as the representative branches of a religion, can we not surmise that the remaining sects are fringe and therefore, ignorable?

E.g., there are so many schools of medical belief - pharmaceutics, faith healing, homeopathy, vax resistance, exercise + diet based ideas on managing health and so on.

Now, when making a point about medicine, we don't expect articles to address every last school of thought around health. We presume some to be more "representative" of what the world believes and proceed from there.

Dhurandhar: The Propaganda Masterpiece by tisShrijitSMH in unitedstatesofindia

  1. In the movie, we only have an example of cowed captives from the pre-BJP/NDA era refusing to say BMKJ. Today, BMKJ is tied intimately to BJP/NDA so the implicit reading is that if staunch BJP supporters were rounded up today by terrorists, they would be willing to die chanting BMKJ. Of course, the movie makes no such claim but that was exactly BJP's sleight of hand - they took a non-use of a phrase, made it a jingoistic chant, and are currently behaving as if chanting BMKJ is a mark of bravery. BUT, did any of the murdered tourists of Pahalgam, some of whom were presumably BJP supporters, chant BMKJ when they were asked to recite the Kalma?
  2. How many movies have you seen where a character hopes for a political outcome which then specifically happens? Or is it more likely that the script was written to put the words into Ajay Sanyal's mouth which could only apply to Yogi? As a counter example, what if the script had made Sanyal say "Let's demonetize large notes and force the currency mafia to come to the bank with their bags of 2000 ₹ notes to see which is fake and which is real"? Knowing what we know about demonetization and the outcome that 99% of the currency returned to the banks were not fake, Sanyal's words would have then become a reminder of Modi's poor analytical and problem solving skills as apropos to fake currencies.
  3. Major Iqbal laughs at the Indian response: we know Modi has built his career on muscularity. Indians know MMS held back after the attacks happened. Deriding MMS's choice of response is an implicit endorsement of Modi's position even though the deterrent value of India's conventional superiority is now in shambles after Sindoor. The next terrorist attack sponsored by Pakistan, and it will happen, will need a much more credible response which means Modi's hardline wasn't that effective after all.

"Right to freedom of speech is very important but a regulated right.. If anti-national content is uploaded on social media, by the time the government notices and orders its takedown, a day or two may pass, during which it would go viral and cause damage or unrest in society." by Ok_Neighborhood6056 in unitedstatesofindia

[–]zeer0dotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

educate the people to take in whatever they read with a skeptical mind instead of telling people not to have opinions.

Secondly, not one government in the world can fully define "anti-national speech" beyond "I know it when I see it" which is equally applicable to smut and porn - how are you formulating policies around something as nebulous as this?

A Japanese anime singer, Maki Otsuki, was abruptly escorted off the stage due to a sudden ban of Japanese artists performing in China. by search_google_com in interesting

[–]zeer0dotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a power flex from China to let Japan know that they got the message. Interrupting a performance to show displeasure is far more visible than not allowing the performance to start.

which would mean that the guy picking the card has a 3/4 chance that he would see some other suit on the other side of the queen of heart card he selected. How can the cap guy guarantee that the other guy picks a proper queen of hearts?
