Also, while I"m no physiotherapist, it looks like musk’s shoulder mobility is hindered a bit. Maybe its the suit/shoulderpads, maybe he’s just really out of shape. Which is to say that he knew that he had to get his hand up over his head to get the gesture right. It’s significantly more effort than you’d do by accident.
This is fine.
Krull?! We can agree on that. It really is an amazing and entertaining mess of a film. I can just hear the writers now…
Hrm, the script just seems kinda… flat. I know… <<massive bong rip>> let’s add storm troopers and lasers to the mix.
However…
videoganes from the Atari era such as ET
That is a game that is difficult to love. You may be in a very exclusive club on that one.
Oh good grief. Of course the Nazis had a chart. I hardly know any German, but there sure is a lot of “verboten” on that.
Makes me wonder if there was a similar thing for Jim Crow laws in the deep south.
I love how the 60Hz AC coursing through the plasma (?) can be heard at a safe distance. It really conveys just how much energy is in that arc.
Oh wow. Y’all have a way with swearing, cool level-headed ranting, and self-deprecating humor that the rest of us simply can’t touch. Just start a YouTube channel - I’d watch it.
Meanwhile, I’ll just start my morning with Get Krackin’, now that the whole series is online.
You might have to wait for Lewis Black to retire.
Exactly. Everyone knows you’re supposed to pour it into the bowl along with the milk.
I swear it’s just one dead cat after another with this guy. It’s like someone is feeding him this nonsense to keep him busy, and by extension, the media and most of us.
He’s already working overtime to distract from the fact that the majority of his campaign promises were just lies and the sooner he can make the people who voted for him forget all the pie in the sky shit they were promised, the better.
That too. Good call, OP.
I encourage everyone to call non-news what it is - a distraction - until it’s actually a thing that’s happening. In the meantime, consider browsing the AP to read what’s actually happening that’s being masked by all this noise.
At first, yes. To make that shift you have to throw the aristocracy, and perhaps a monarchy here or there, into the trash and divvy up the spoils. Over time, the new system can (and some say will inevitably) revert. Once you have enough wealth concentration in the hands of a few, you essentially re-create an aristocracy and the feudal system that goes with it.
It can also be argued that a feudal system is capitalist to begin with. Land and laborers to work it, used to be the key deciding factor in wealth and therefore, power. Wars are where you steal land from others, assuming control of the people that live on it, thereby securing more wealth and power. The industrial revolution saw a gradual shift towards energy production and consumption as a defining factor. So still somewhat land based, but with very different constraints and far less dependence on who lives on it. Now, in the late information age, access to energy and data are emerging as the main deciding factors. But it’s also not hard to imagine players that have the most access to energy and data as feudal lords, provided they can influence politics and people’s lives in the same way a feudal system can (just without borders). And all of that is top-to-bottom running within a capitalist framework.
Did we improve things? Well, moving towards a central government that supports an actual justice system that isn’t prey to your employer or landlord’s whims (feudal lord) is a huge win. For instance in the UK, that happened a long time ago. In practice, I think that is still mostly true, but there are some lingering artifacts and maybe even some creep backwards. Consider de-facto class systems, institutionalized bigotry, and racism. On balance, I’d say yes, but I can’t say with certainty that it’s an absolute win.
Hey, look here buddy. You can’t be your own comment thread and post all the plausible responses yourself like that. You’re putting all the trolls out of work.
To the person that made this gif: thank you for your service. You had to pour over far more footage of this nonsense than anybody should ever have to.
