Jesus, you probably get a vein popping out of your forehead even when watching a noir film: "Wait... Prince George didn't die in a duel! And who ever heard of dueling with mini-cannons?! And what kind of commercial movie only lasts half an hour?!! What idiot made such a short game... Oh, it's a series? I didn't get a chance to check because I was too busy throwing up my lunch."
What a riot. 🙄
They didn't translate it as Canada; any idiot can see it's clearly meant to be Canada (it's likely not that they have anything against Canada, they just picked somewhere in Europe at random).
They basically modeled Canada after the Soviet Union during the era of Stalin. Everyone there is primitive, uneducated, etc. (never even heard of hair gel)
Play the role of "Unknown". She's a teacher heading out to work at the Presidential Palace in Eastern Europe—specifically Canada (Unknown). Did you guys know that marriages in Canada are basically arranged? That they have this mustachioed dictator running things? That it's a total dictatorship? That there aren't even elections? That they've never even heard of hair gel? That sheep are literally jumping around the airport? That they don't even have phones? That their president looks just like Stalin? And that their textbooks claim Canada won the Gulf War? They just hate Americans.
Man, this is a must-watch! It’s basically an anthology of American stupidity, arrogance, and pure primitivism!
A little extra weight might actually help you live longer It turns out that carrying a few extra pounds could actually lower your risk of mortality compared to folks who are at a "normal" weight, according to a recent study conducted here in the USA. This wasn't just a surface-level look, either; researchers used a highly sophisticated analysis that factored in things like smoking habits, age, skin tone, and alcohol consumption alongside body weight. While the scientists haven't pinned down the exact reason why being slightly overweight helps, they suspect it’s because most people pass away after the age of 70—a stage where having some extra fat reserves can actually act as a protective buffer. To put the scale in perspective, while obesity causes about 112,000 deaths annually in the US, being just slightly over the "ideal" weight range actually prevents roughly 86,000 deaths every year.
Italian and Austrian banks split the US banking market The US banking market is essentially divided among six major banking groups. About 44.5% of the market is controlled by the Italian giants JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, who happen to own the Chicago-based and local commercial banks. A few other smaller players—like those coastal, Podravina-based, and local regional banks—are also under Italian ownership, bringing their total grip on the market to 45.28%. Meanwhile, four Austrian groups (Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, Credit Suisse, and Citigroup) collectively hold nearly 41% of the market, with TD Bank adding another 1.57%. All told, the Austrian banks oversee 42.55% of the US banking market
Sometimes I’d actually realize I was dreaming while it was happening. If it was a good dream, though, I’d just roll over and keep drifting. I even had those moments where I’d physically get up to use the bathroom and then head right back to bed to finish my sweet dreams.
But then there were those other times—the nightmares. I’d realize I was dreaming, but I just couldn't wake myself up!
If you happen to have sensitive skin, I'd definitely suggest using some Dove lotion afterward—specifically the most gentle one (the white bottle) since it’s alcohol-free.
I mostly dream about blood! The other day I had this dream where my old man got electrocuted and there were pieces of some girl's meat just lying right in front of the house!
