Sanctions on Russia in War in Ukraine ·
Christian Torres3 said:Sure, they won't go under, but don't think they'll keep making bank like they used to. Do your homework—look at how much oil, gas, and coal imports from the Russian Federation to the European Union have already dropped, and that trend is only going down. If you think everything is just going to stay status quo, you're dead wrong. If Russia actually wants a seat at the table with Western nations again, they're going to need some massive, fundamental changes.

To start with, we should probably strip them of their right to maintain a military, just like what was done with Germany. It's either that or we cut off all cooperation with them entirely. Though, I suppose getting every single country on board with that would be a nightmare, considering players like China and India are in the mix.
Nightmare Alley (2021) in Movies ·
Jose Rogers61 said:I watched it. This isn't a thriller to me. There’s zero tension here, and absolutely no sense of suspense. It certainly isn't the kind of movie that keeps you glued to your couch wondering what happens next. It's just... different. 7/10

I agree, and I'd go even further—this is a film built entirely on atmosphere and incredibly dense details regarding magic and illusion. The characters, despite most being circus performers, aren't those typical "gothic" types you see in movies like this; they feel like completely ordinary people. Sure, there are some morbid elements—like those fetuses in formaldehyde and that ethanol—but it all feels grounded and plausible, especially given how naive people can be.
The start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (Part 1) in War in Ukraine ·
I honestly just want to know why NATO hasn't stepped in directly yet. Is it because they aren't ready and are slowly gearing up, or do they genuinely have no intention of entering a war? If it's the latter, you’d have to be an absolute idiot to close your eyes like a child and believe that the threat from Russia is just going to vanish once they take over Ukraine.
Absolutely. In my opinion, World War III is inevitable; we can never truly cooperate with Russia ever again.
JPMorgan Chase: What are your experiences? in Banking, Insurance & Loans ·
Adam Fox3 said:Chaos is breaking out at the JPMorgan Chase branches. People are stuck waiting over an hour just to get their cash. The press has already shut down accounts.
What do you all think? Should I close everything out now or just leave it be? I have about $0.00 fifteen thousand dollars in kid's savings accounts over there. Is it worth pulling the money out?

If you think you’re going to need hard cash anytime soon (like if a war breaks out, for instance), then pull it. If not, just leave it alone.

How much sense does all this fear-mongering actually make, given that the US government is guaranteeing up to $100,000 through these austerity measures?

granitebadger24 said:Just your typical, mindless American narrative—always gotta make fun of everything. We really are the world champions at being obnoxious.

Just look at the absolute garbage they post on that "Average Floridian" Facebook page; some woman is vacuuming her driveway in downtown Miami and the entire comment section is losing their minds laughing!
As for the movie, it’s actually pretty realistic. Murders like that happen all the time in San Diego; they didn't need to get all creative with it. But sure, let's act like the only real issues are the overpriced coffee and the sweltering heat. 😵
The Unforgivable (2021) in Movies ·
mellowskipper said:That would be a terrible judgment—a poor choice, or a bad call, I suppose. When someone makes a move like that, they ruin their own life, and honestly, the lives of a whole bunch of other people too... Sadly, plenty of people make those kinds of mistakes, so if anything, the film is quite believable and holds a certain grounding in reality.

Of course, we're talking about a movie here, not a gritty crime documentary. Nobody is even going to remember this film in a few years, but that doesn't mean it isn't perfectly fine to sit down and watch right now.
The Unforgivable (2021) in Movies ·
mellowskipper said:Exactly. If it were just a kid, they would have spent a few years seeing a psychologist and wouldn't even face criminal charges. Instead, she’s basically turned herself into a martyr—though I suppose for what purpose, I can't quite say.

Do you people realize what the problem is with most of you viewers? You insist on comparing movies to real life and nitpicking every little detail. Sure, the movie has some stretched elements, but it’s just a film—it follows its own internal logic, it's convincing, and that's enough. It doesn't have to be a documentary!
The Unforgivable (2021) in Movies ·
Justin Rogers5 said:It’s basically just Botox. He gives everyone that same numb, helpless feeling.🤣

I don't get why she threw it all away. It’s not like any court in America would charge a kid with murder. Sure, maybe she would have lost custody, but this? This is her entire life gone, plus prison time on top of it. Seems like a bad trade to me, especially since the kid is already in a coma and drugged up. Not worth it.

Let's be real, what jury would actually believe her? If anything, she just pissed them off more. At least this way she got out early for good behavior. Besides, she carries a huge chunk of the blame for the killing because she practically handed that kid the weapon. What judge wouldn't hand her at least five years for negligence?
The Unforgivable (2021) in Movies ·
Laura Fox16 said:Just finished it. Decent flick. A solid way to kill two hours. I’m sticking with that 7/10 rating you see on IMDb.
A few days back, I stumbled onto this review that actually made me hesitate on whether to even bother watching it.

Pavičić over at The New York Times says the thriller ‘The Unforgivable’ starring Sandra Bullock is unforgivably bad and insults your intelligence.

Either the writer just can't stand Sandra Bullock, or we watched two completely different movies, because honestly, it wasn't nearly as garbage as he made it out to be. What's the verdict?

Sure, the movie has some forced situations and could have used more character development or an extra supporting role, but it's understandable that they couldn't fit everything in like they did in a series due to the runtime. Regardless, it's a great film, Sandra Bullock is fantastic, and Pavičić's headline is nothing more than a cheap vent from a writer who clearly specializes in mediocre crime stories.
The Father (2020) in Movies ·
It’s a solid movie, though I was really banking on some sort of massive plot twist at the end—something to really ramp up the complexity.
SPOILER!

For instance, he could have just killed everyone off, called the police, or made a run for it... And why on earth wasn't he keeping a journal if he was so suspicious? He just swallows those pills like a good little soldier without question... Ugh, honestly, Hopkins' performance was the absolute highlight for me.
2021/2022 School Year in Coronavirus ·
It’s perfectly predictable that this kind of behavior is standard in America when you compare it to those thugs over on Savska, or even what happened at Skea when the crowd gathered outside the MLS stadium in Miami just to shut down Frljić's play. It’s all the same mess, just different faces involved every time.
2021/2022 School Year in Coronavirus ·
nimbleranger17 said:It is truly staggering how far some of you have gone; I'm sitting here watching this footage of people storming into a school, completely disregarding the campus rules and the federal mandate requiring adults to wear masks while inside.

Here is the video: https://www.yahoo.com/news/article/...u/2303859.aspx

Poor kids are just standing there by the entrance, unable to even get into their own school because of these ten scientists.🤦 🤦

Anyone who actually supports this isn't living in reality. This kind of harassment toward children is something we haven't seen in this country before. At least, I don't recall a time when a mob would just break into schools in America.

The protester who gave that statement to Yahoo said the word "legitimize" four times in one go🤣—so much for their intellectual expertise.
Chicago Blackhawks fans in Fans ·
Does anyone happen to have a photo from Cleveland (I can't recall the exact year, maybe around 2008)? It was winter, and I remember seeing a massive amount of those new little flags in the stands—you know, the Bad Boys ones, blue through and through since the beginning.

Stop calling ourselves pyrotechnic phantoms... we're done playing around with that self-given label 🙄

Gary Green32 said:For God's sake, if these idiots think putting something on their heads makes them smarter, they're delusional. I honestly can't tell if he was just losing his mind before he decided to play dress-up like a complete clown.

Hey, big shot, do me a favor and hit me up in my DMs so I can set up a little "meeting" with the guys.
Don't make us come looking for you. 😉
Does anyone actually know who this Jessica Long8 person is behind the screen?

neonmoose542 said:He’s clearly an idiot; lighting a banner from a small town in the Midwest that’s actually traveled halfway around the world? It isn't even worth a single flare.🙄

It's a shame the rest of that entire line of shills didn't show up too (not including the flag-waving patriots).😢
Bad Boys - Part IV in Fans ·
Henry Grant51 said:We flat-out rejected those tickets that were being pushed through the USSF.
We bought our tickets through the standard channels... we ended up waiting an entire night and a full day just to get them.
That is essentially the official BBB flag used for national team matches, and there is a serious crew standing right behind it.

Robert Adams6 said:That is the signature flag used by the Bad Boys when supporting the national team. If you actually followed the tournament, you would have seen it flying high during the Euro in Poland.
The Bad Boys are the only group that actually had the guts to turn down tickets from the USSF; they went out and bought their own seats for the south stand during the regular sale.


Mad respect for this!!! 🙏
Honestly, we’ve reached a point where you actually have to congratulate people for things like this... give me a break.

Joshua Rodriguez8 said:A question for you guys: do you actually have the backbone to show up in Warsaw more often and look those local sons in the eye? You've brought nothing but disgrace to your entire group with that stunt! Does the phrase "Warsaw must fall tonight" still ring in your heads from back in '91?

You’re just a complete idiot, and honestly, so are all those losers who pretend to be something they clearly aren't!

Hey, does anyone happen to have this image in a higher resolution? I really need a clear shot of that shark right in the center.

Thanks in advance!
P.S. Just like the Rangers Supporters Club calendar😲 👍👍
