speaking of plot holes, what in the fuck was Wakanda doing while Hitler invaded Africa?
ignoring the outside world (because they had enough technology to steamroll everyone else if they wanted) like they did for hundreds of years until black panther because they are a fundamentally a isolationist nation.
Compounding things further is the political and social stuff they're throwing in attempting to appeal to Gens Y and Z, which alienates Gen X
I'd be willing to bet by this point...Y & Z would be about ready for some simple entertainment without a message being pushed too.
And hey, while we're at it, let's quit being afraid of pissing off China, eh?
the last one always bugs me with how blatant the pandering ends up being when they try to appeal to the CCP censors.
A study in Nature looked at a series of studies across the US documenting primarily un-owned cats and their impact on local societies. It then extrapolated that into an estimated population of un-owned cats and it's impact on the environment. The estimate is that un-owned cats are killing around 1.2B birds annually and 23 billion mammals annually.
Your owned house-cat is most certainly killing animals if it ever ranges beyond your yard. But the real problem is the un-owned housecats that wander effectively as feral or non-feral outdoor all the time cats. They need to eat too and they have few predators.
but what was the impact on bird populations by indigenous predators that we drove off like bobcat, lynx, foxes, weasle, stouts, etc
This guy needs to read Moby Dick. He's going to secure a loan for $1M to search for the hard drive and then find it, on the day that bitcoin goes to $1.
or find that the drives disc platters were damaged at any one of the many points it experience a sever physical shock while passing through the processing waste management system
They were only the largest bank to ever launder billions in cartel money with a slap on the wrist. White collar crime pays well. We should have dismantled that firm when we had the chance.

No surprise there HSBC started out bank for the British to put their drug money that the British East India Company had from selling their Indian opium as a financial offset form their Chinese exports. It was a mob bank and continues to be mob bank. it just happens to be a 'respectable' mob bank.
Third world country" is a deprecated term relegated to the Cold War era;
China as part of the communist block weren't a third world country even during the cold war, they were a second world country.
Yeah, so rather then using a guided missile to hit a specific target and minimize collateral damage, they'll have no choice but to start making dumb bombs and go WW2 style carpet bombing entire cities as was done in europe.
<sarcasm>yeah because Russia has been so very concerned about collateral damage up until now </sarcasm>
and at what cost to the West? must be well in excess of a $1T at this point. Hell we are a couple of hundred billion in the red just for weapon supplies let alone what it has done to our economy.
and your point is? What you you have us do? Start a shooting war with paranoid dictator that has been reading to much of his own propaganda and has the only other nuclear arsenal capable of taking the world back to the stone age? Or stand by and let the power mad fascist in the Kremlin play Napoleon in Europe, after all it worked out so well last time the west made concessions to land grabbing militaristic expansionist go ask Neville Chamberlain how that worked out.
When Minecraft and Fortnite were released.
Its my understanding that the kids used them more as a social platform than a gaming one.
I think it is just that more that these games are inherently social
EA was considered "toxic" and Disney is woke?
with Disney its all about the intellectual property. the actual game making they can farm out to third parties.
Many of the issues that come with unlimited paid time off are solved by the other thing that Goldman Sachs did, set a minimum number of vacation days that every employee must take. With the 15 days a year requirement, there's no longer an issue of people not taking the days due to pressure since, instead, there's pressure to take them.
it depends. If its anything like my toxic workplace there are corporate policy then there are corporate policy. the first not only not enforced and have no enforcement mechanism but management actively ignore them and will get you penalized for some other bullshit like low productivity if you take advantage of these policies. then there are the second ones are ones that corporate really cares about and will potential fire you over or if your penalize your boss if they override them. vacation days would probably get shuffled into the first category for anyone of an insufficient pay-grade
Fuck you, Aeneid is the greatest epic poem in Latin.
their best it may be but the aeneid is still bad fanfiction. it directly rips off the Odyssey.
Yes, ancient Rome was partially Helenized, big fucking deal. You wrote your post in English and you're from America, so fucking what.
Canada originally but whatever that's not relevant because even if you were right it would still be a bad analogy. A better one would be doing a rewrite Beowolf sticking the American Founding Fathers in it and calling it "The Great American Novel".
Can we please, for the love of the uncertainty principle, stop extending great pieces of entertainment into never ending mediocrity?
It's really too much. Why do we feel the need to destroy our own folklore?
because that's what humans always do. Virgil wrote the aeneid crappy fanfic level sequal to the Iliad and the Odyssey, Ovid did shitty Latin rewrites of the Greek myths, medieval monks rewrote the Norse and Celtic mythologies to make gods into weirdly immortal human kings or fairies.
Oh please, please PLEASE let these shows be filled with plenty of angst-driven, interpersonal-relationship drama! We don't get nearly enough of that in other current TV shows and movies!
this is Amazon Prime Video not CW so probably just ends up being slightly disappointing and/or forgettable.
All of the guns, not some of them.
yes because the criminals are known for the forthright willingness to fallow the law and get rid of all contraband its not law breakers would break the law and keep them.
