Wes Anderson movies since moonrise kingdom have looked like an AI was trained on Wes Anderson movies. I still enjoyed grand Budapest hotel, but i also really love Ralph Fines.

Agree on Rushmore, Royal Tennenbaums (my personal favorite), and Grand Budapest Hotel, and I would replace darjeeling limited with Bottle Rocket.

Abd if you really really really liked RT and GBT, then watch The Life Aquatic.

He doesn't need to imo, these things have plenty of inertia right now. It wouldn't take a lot to get Americans fighting even harder against eachother than we are now even.

I think the only reason states have not truly waged war on each other is that we are part of a union. That's just my opinion, but many states would simply begin to fail without the feds redistributing wages from states that have good industry and gdp.

Once they don't get, they will start to try to take, and that fire would spread faster than it could be put out. Again all imo. But us Americans are "a bit shit" to eachother already, to borrow a British phrase.

I had no idea, good on them!

Ukraine and Russia have been using cluster munitions on each other for years. US even gave Ukraine our obsolete stock of cluster munitions to specifically use on Russia. This definitely doesn't surprise me, and I'm gonna guess they continue to be weapons of war, just like unmanned drones, despite any collateral dangers. Collateral damage at rates of 1 civilian to 1 combatant are now normalized.

Naw, just move them into publicly traded military contractors not named Boeing. You'll be making money like its crypto and you're on the inside.

I think you have a super healthy view of this dilemma through your experience. As a person who has experienced the worst Down's has to offer with a very close relative, i can't imagine a happier thing they could have told my mother than, "your child doesn't have to be born with down's syndrome".

Due to religion, terminating the pregnancy was never an option, so a set of cosmic dice was spun in how positive or negative this experience would be. Let me tell you right now, I wouldn't wish my family's experience on anyone, and that breaks me apart to say more than I'm willing to admit.

But he had Russian backing, he was on the apprentice, all those things are true. So if they weren't true he wouldn't be who he is. It's a bit like saying JK Rowling wouldn't be famous without Harry Potter. Like... duh.

Anyone else find it odd they cut out the likes musk gets? I want to see how many assholes agree with him.

So if Trump wasn't the candidate that trump is, he wouldn't have won? I mean he was Trump tho.

Great point. Silencers/suppressors are for the comfort of the person shooting the gun. Those are part of group combat in urban warfare. So they aren't impacting themselves or their brown shirt friends with muzzle blast while shooting people inside houses or other buildings.
