yesHave you seen Four Lions?
Is it any good?
I bought the dvd but never got around to watching it yet. I love Chris Morris and his brand of humor.
If I had to guess, I'd imagine that, if he's as big a big shot as he insists he is, the banker's got more than enough money in his personal coffers alone to pay ample restitution (and live comfortably for quite some time afterwards) even if his job (to say nothing of his personal investments) doesn't pay him another penny from this moment forward. I say that, if he truly intends to make good on what he's done (which, considering that he left the guy for dead, I rather doubt), he ought to both cough up the cash to the guy he nearly killed and accept whatever legal and professional consequences are (or should be) coming his way. The fact that he apparently hasn't even considered this option (directly counter to the plaintiff's wishes, I might add) tells me that, true to his occupation's stereotype, he hasn't ceased looking out for Number One for one second, and refuses to cop to the sheer, vile inhumanity of what he did.Here’s the trick: Erzinger is supposedly willing to pay restitution. As a result, prosecutors argue that Erzinger’s job with MSSB will be at risk if felony charges are pursued and as a result his ability to pay the restitution will be jeopardized. No job=no restitution.
Considering how criminally infrequently (and I mean that in the most literal sense) brazen, defiant, widely-felt wrongdoing by this particular segment of society, prejudiced impressions or not, is ever actually punished (let alone addressed in a way that would curtail it in the future), I would submit that we as a collective segment of humanity still hold them in much, much higher esteem than we ever ought to. Any society in which Gordon Gekko is regularly and openly invoked not as a cautionary tale but as an ideal to strive for (and again, I do not exaggerate) has long ignored, if not forgotten outright, the true, primal face of tyranny and injustice.At the bottom of it, the basic narrative shown here is making use of our prejudices (however well-formed) against the investment banking crowd, and I don't like that either.

Seriously, its like having a 16:10 (or even a 4:3 in some case) a crime or something.
I was fooling about with tate mode aspect ratio's other than 3:4. Surprisingly, 10:16 does way better and even looks and plays better than 9:16.Ed Oscuro wrote: The death of 1200p and 16:10
Service dogs are used for a variety of needs, not just for visibly obvious ones like blindness or a physical handicap. They're also used by people who suffer from seizures and people who are deaf. It could even be someone who is training the animal to be a service dog that's handling them, I know because we have a lot of service dog trainers in town taking them around in their vests when training them. You can't know what the handicap or reason the person has for owning a service animal is just by looking at them, so it's unfair to assume they don't need one just because you think they don't look like they do.Specineff wrote:People who put a vest labeled "Service animal" on their pets and use it as an excuse to bring them on the bus, when it's clear the owner has zero special needs

Funny how absolutely nobody (other than traitors, of course) seemed to mind it at all, even on a much farther-reaching scale (alongside the deficit, foreign relations disasters, and various other things) until the past few years.Yeah, and the worst part is that the people actually think its a good thing and are ay-okay with it.
Keep on defending your team. After all, who cares if they are evil, when the other team is also evil.Funny how absolutely nobody (other than traitors, of course) seemed to mind it at all, even on a much farther-reaching scale (alongside the deficit, foreign relations disasters, and various other things) until the past few years.

9:16 is just to tall, and you cant have effective diagonal patterns, 10:16 makes for very good balance for wide(tall)screen tate mode shmups.
Too bad its going out of fashion.

I need to post a picture of my 16:10 setup it is epic... it would make you guys wet
And the screws ended up being of such shit quality that when you turn them hard they become stripped :/When one screw is tighter than all the others.

My sleep schedule varies so wildly that it might as well not even exist.If you were like this year-round you'd probably kill yourself. I've never been jet-lagged before, but 9 months in another time zone has really done it. I never imagined it to be so horrible. Today is the sixth day and it's only just started to (marginally) subside. The last five days have been hellish - it's like being sick with no symptoms except feeling as though you're walking around at 6am with no sleep (even though you slept) nausea, brain feeling like it's expanding in your skull, dizziness and a constant struggle to concentrate. And I've got a freaking article to finish - the worst timing ever.trap15 wrote:I'm essentially jet-lagged year-round
