If anyone is looking for something a bit more... intense... I think there's a movie on Netflix—or maybe it's a book—called "Bombshell : The Night Bobby Kennedy Killed Marilyn Monroe"
I honestly feel so bad for Scarlett Johansson... she gave such a masterclass performance, but it’s such a shame because the whole thing was based on this flimsy fictionalized premise rather than an actual biography. I've just never been a huge fan of these types of movies—you know the ones—where it feels like they just start, things happen, and then they end without any real substance or development in between...

Just enjoy the freedom while it lasts, my friend 🤣
Finally, a real suggestion!
Throw in KLCCLK too and you’ve basically got The Beatles of moderation ready to run any subreddit... 🐔

On the threshold?... I was just scrolling through some news today—you know how it goes, one minute you're looking at market trends and the next you're deep in the weeds of social commentary—and I stumbled upon this piece about those new educational initiatives involving gender identity and... well, let's just say "body positivity" classes. It’s one of those topics that really makes you pause and wonder where we're all heading, isn't it? It feels like we're constantly stepping onto the threshold of these massive cultural shifts—almost like a scene out of *Idiocracy*, if you think about it—where the traditional ways of understanding ourselves are being completely restructured by whatever the current trend happens to be. There's this push in certain academic circles to redefine things that used to be pretty straightforward, focusing heavily on these specific biological identifiers in a way that feels quite new to most Americans... It’s interesting, though—really—how quickly these ideas move from niche academic discussions into the mainstream curriculum of our schools. You see it happening in cities like Seattle or San Francisco, and you start to realize that the conversation isn't just happening in ivory towers anymore... it's right there in the classroom. It's a lot to wrap your head around, especially when you consider how much the social fabric is changing almost overnight... anyway, just something that caught my eye while I was sipping my coffee this morning...

The entire history of the human race is basically just one long series of religious wars. Since we've been around, religious intolerance has been baked into our DNA. What kind of question is that? Were they conflict-prone? Yeah, they were nothing *but* conflict-prone throughout all of human history. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying. Or they're just recycling empty clichés. Take Christians, for example; they love to claim they "respect" other faiths. But if someone walked up and introduced themselves as a Satanist, most of them would jump at the chance to crucify them if they could get away with it.
Did you pull that number out of thin air? Honestly... if you actually dig into the data, maybe 4-5% of all conflicts throughout history have been purely religious in nature...
It’s just one of those things—if you aren't standing on the "right side of history," you’re basically just asking to be insulted... and the moderators here are all super progressive, of course.
The American name pops up in territories stretching all the way from the Czech Republic down to what we now call southwestern Ukraine—basically the launchpad where the Slavs started spreading out across the globe. It’s worth noting that back then, tribes weren't exactly set in their ways... they’d swap out their group names or tribal alliances quite often if they felt an old name had lost its prestige, or if they thought a fresh one might bring them a bit more luck and glory. And honestly, lonetrucker4 is just doing what he always does—making a mountain out of a molehill where there isn't one.

I was basically the Green Party before the Green Party was even a thing... 👍 (Back in the 90s, certain groups were basically acting on behalf of the European Green Party)
Honestly, you and TT might as well be cut from the same cloth—same roots, same results...

Not me, though... as long as Oštrić is still hanging around there. Anyway, my own partial is more than requested... if you know what I mean...
To get ready for this, I actually went back and watched the original version. It’s a solid movie—great acting, and it really captures that specific 1930s vibe in Egypt where you had all that old-school aristocracy heading out on excursions. But here? That’s just gone. Honestly, I have no clue what era the filmmakers were aiming for, but it definitely isn't the one they should have been hitting... Of course, every BlackRock film or series nowadays is just packed with woke details, and I guess this one is no exception. Once this whole madness finally blows over, there’ll probably be an entire movement in art history dedicated to studying the woke crusade... or should I say, the woke crusade...
The lead actor feels a bit more grounded and slower-paced than Wick, but man—can we please get some fresh storylines instead of just more stories about Russian mobs? Honestly, the ending felt a little off... it probably would have been way more interesting if the villain had actually taken the deal.
