The only time I ever complained about an employee is because his breath was so bad I thought I was going to vomit speaking to him.

It's already good. One of the best ever.

Oh wait you meant the movie.

I imagine Phil Ochs would have been in favor of storming the Capitol but not for the same reasons the proud boys did.

That was actually kinda good.

But that's only assuming the movie isn't a massive flop.

Even if the movie is a massive flop they can still credit the loss while collecting what little cash it did make.

The closest started 10 miles from it, no clue where the fire currently is in relation to the Kremlin.

Seems like it's a pretty massive blaze. 10 miles sounds like a lot but it could easily reach the Kremlin.

She takes too long to say the obvious shit. Like get to the fucking point already.

That's insane. How is it that this gets to be done like that? Does anyone get the legality behind it?

Essentially if you invest in something and that investment is a failure, you can get a tax credit for it. Not just with complete zero dollar failures, either, but with anything. You get more for zero dollar failures though. The only way to make sure it actually generates zero dollars though is to delete it entirely.

Somebody on the movie team had to have seen this coming after it got canned last time and has the entire movie on a hard drive that can be leaked or something right?

Continues huffing copium bc I want to see this

Someone involved in the negotiations tipped off the press. Essentially the plan looked like was to just not even announce they had no buyer until after the movie was permanently cancelled.

Additionally, not just Zaslav, but most executives have not seen the movie or only saw it without post / editing.

Which in turns... makes people money.

It makes them less money which is what I'm trying to say. They get a bigger upfront payment and then they get absolutely nothing next quarter.

My only knowledge of Dr Doom is from the first Fantstic Four movie, I thought he was like Magneto Lite or something (I dont remember it well)

Dr. Doom has got magic almost as good as Dr. Strange so even without his armor he'd be a major threat for the Justice League. As an actual story it probably ends with Dr. Fate or Dr. Manhattan sending him back.

Depends on which satanism. The ones that have these politicians pissing themselves are entirely a political movement,

Not exactly. The Satanic Temple does have its own dogma. It's weird in the sense that it's a "secular atheist religion" but they do have their own beliefs to which they argue are held in the same sincerity as other religions. The part that most people are probably familiar with is the employment of satanic symbolism as a means to counteract taboos impressed by other religions.

Church of Satan is the LaVeyan stuff which is basically a remixed Christianity+Magic.

Also they thought Aquaman 2 was release-worthy

What happens if it gets leaked and movie is bad? I remember when the WB CEO/exec was like The Flash will be the greatest Super Hero film of all time. And that is something they were trying to pump with a questionable lead. Can't imagine the real quality of something they want to bury.

He didn't even see the movie

makes sense. sunk cost fallacy at work ITT. WB has already lost the money used to make it. no sense spending more

They could literally just sell the movie. Even if they got half their asking it would still be more than what they'd get as a tax write off.

According to some other sources online Zaslav never even watched the movie.

ai123 posted...

Probably makes more money this way.

It doesn't. Making money always makes more money than a tax write off. What this accomplishes is making quarterly investor earnings reports look good.

I just went and cancelled my DC Infinite subscription. I suggest if anyone has DCI or Max to host cancel all that shit as well. Fuck Zaslav.

Robot2600 posted...

I'm of the opinion that if they want a tax write-off then they have to release the movie.

Directly into public domain.

Heart of Crown's 10th Anniversary, via Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/japanimegames/heart-of-crowns-10th-anniversary

So many of these deck building games have come out since Dominion but I've managed to get a short list of 3 I actually think are worth playing. This is one of them.

The Princess + Domain mechanic of the game adds a layer of intricacy that feels more fun to engage with as opposed to Dominion's just filling up your deck with useless cards because they're worth points. Overall I feel like the game is straight superior to Dominion and has mostly replaced it.

What's the situation at hand

The situation at hand is that because Ruth Bader Ginsburg refused to retire during Obama's first term, decades of her progress were undone in a matter of months.

The issue is because Dianne Feinstein refused to retire, Joe Biden could not make any court appointments for months.

The issue is illness and injury prone politicians will often be in situations where they are unable to vote, stalling democracy at best, or destroying it at worst.

For the president it doesn't really matter because there's always the 25th amendment.

For everyone else it's destroying our democracy.

Should it not be?!!

Should I just sit back and resign myself to accepting that all people care about for presidents is the aesthetics?

This isn't about aesthetics either. This just goes to show you have zero grasp on the situation at hand.

Roosevelt at 42 is the youngest president. Again, my point is age is not an indicator for good policies. Young politicians can have stupid and regressive policies

Why do you think this is about policies?

"Who is the president of Puerto Rico?"

If it was criminal court he'd be in jail. No two ways about it.

Kradek posted...

Two state supreme courts have found that Trump is guilty of insurrection, so it carries a similar weight to being pardoned for something you weren't convicted of. Both are established by the law as guilty without a conviction.

Yeah that's the problem. Only a criminal trial can determine guilt. Civil trials determine liability. This is why in the original E. Carrol case, Trump wasn't found guilty of sexual assault, he was found liable for it.

You could of course make the argument that being liable for an act is the same as committing an act even if you aren't guilty of that act but I do not think that would have changed anything.

Law is a stupid mess of gotchas and well actually there's a comma here which changes the entire sentence. Intent and "common sense" almost never matter in court in regards to interpreting the law.

Kradek posted...

Largely they were told to take their guns and go home. Looking into it very few were actually charged with treason and I'm not seeing many other names for crimes. Like Davis and Lee got hit with treason, however it seems like much of the Congress that left to become Confederates essentially got away with it other than they couldn't get their old office back for obvious reasons.

Also it says Johnson pardoned them by 1868. Those fuckers basically faced no consequences as a whole and it's fucked up this nation ever since.

I mean there's not much point to charging people with crimes after they've been pardoned.

The real problem was the compromise of 1877 which allowed them to return to office and simultaneously torpedoed reconstruction efforts.

Reagans whole second term was the throat goat running the country cuz ronny had dementia

His second term was mostly a continuation of his first term.

Kradek posted...

Nobody from the Confederacy was charged with crimes and they were still barred from returning to their former office.

They were charged with crimes kinda but they got general amnesty.

The compromise of 1877 undid the restriction on holding office.

I personally believe its because the ponies are cute. A similar phenomenon is seen in Pokemon with the eeveelutions in which theyre considered attractive despite being quadruped creatures .

That tag list is a little misleading. A lot of those tags are still going to tagged in images of anthro Pokemon / "pokemorphs" which are just the furries based on Pokemon instead of real animals.

One hill Im willing to die on is BoF3s soundtrack is one of the best in all of gaming. So few come even remotely close.

As awesome as BoF3 is, BoF5 is even better.

Enclave posted...

When the overworld is basically just a map that you can only move along a line and cannot deviate from the line? I'd argue it does not count. It's essentially exactly the same as in BoF IV just with a different visual aesthetic.

It wasn't all lines. There were places you could explore and you could usually find faerie circles and other secrets. It was pretty much the same thing as Chrono trigger just without the Epoch.

The reason is marketing

but like
thats only if you have some kind of need to dominate competitive rankings
you can completely ignore them and play the game entirely at your own pace

You can say that about any game but the problem is those games are usually shallow unfun pieces of shit so why play them in the first place if you're not going to engage in high level play?

Either: play a game that does not focus on PvP, such as Guardian Tales, or play a game that doesn't wring you for money every 2 weeks to compete against other players.
