Homie travelled alone with twelve guys that he loved and they truly loved him back. He never made a pass at Mary Magdalene, and when Judas sold him out he sealed Jesus’s fate with a kiss.

Jesus was definitely an ass man.

Their definition of poor is likely not ours. We might see someone rich beyond words while they see themselves as ruined. A great example of this is the ending of Succession.

But no. They will never reach our definition of poor.

Hell seems to be where all the interesting people go to, so there.

I am a chronic insomniac. At my worst I can average less than 90 minutes of sleep in a 24 hour period, which is actually very dangerous. Before bed I eat some bland protein (plain super firm tofu and a handful of almonds), never carbs, and I microdose either Indica or if that is not available, Indica based Delta 8. Microdose is the key word here. I take two deep puffs and that’s it. Enough for a little head buzz but not enough to get high. Bundle up, close my eyes, and most of the time fall asleep for a solid 4-6 hours.

Never shuts up about how the country has gone to hell, complaining about “the queers”, etc, etc, etc.

The greatest spectator sport is curling 🥌. I’m not even joking.

I think you are missing the context of the film I used as an example. All the friction and the “comedy” in the film comes from the racism. From the start, it is the point. The taxi driver picks them up from the airport and asks the main character if he is from India. When he replies yes and asks if the driver if he’s ever been there, his reply is no but he stopped in Turkey once. The when they arrive the soon to be mother-in-law assumes that the Indian boyfriend is the Taxi driver and the driver is the boyfriend. We are five minutes into the film at this point and it goes downhill from there.

That is just one easy to digest example using media. Our real life daily interactions with the staff from our European clients is a never ending source for more.

You misunderstand. I don’t mean that it was a remake, just that it was the same concept. I think the term is “trope”.

The fact that the Norwegian film is based on a true story just makes it all so much worse.

European racism is out of control to the point of cringe. The new world cannot hold a candle to you.

Here is a quick example. Netflix released a Norwegian movie called “Christmas as Usual” (translated). It essentially takes the concept of the American 1967 film “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner”, moves it to Norway and gives it a holiday twist. According to Netflix, this 2023 film was in the Top 10 in thirty countries. How? How is a movie concept from America’s peak civil rights battles era working for you in 2023?

My wife is European and my largest clients are European with European staff and the abundance of casual racism is hard for myself and my staff to handle. Don’t get me started on my family in-law.

EDIT: Europeans were definitely not ready to hear this one. LOL

For me: The JJ Abrams Star Trek movies, by far the best ST stuff ever made, I couldn’t take seriously the original universe with the dated effects and stiff acting, same goes for NG… These movies did ST actually great looking and much more believable, not just the effects.

Just kidding… but not really.

Aaaaahhhhh!!! Aaaaaahhhh!!! Ahhhh…ooh, camera. strike a pose Ahhhhh!!! Aaaaahhhhh!!!

She a professional, and a professional does not allow their personal feelings to ruin a photoshoot.

I run Windows. Yeah, mm hmm,. Big Windows user over here and I have no idea what to do with this Linux thing or how to install it. When can you come over and install it for me? I’ll get the wine. I hear wine and Linux leads to a lot of fun game play. Malbec ok?

Why would anyone choose anything but the magenta one?

I have yet to see mass adoption of “Luigi is a terrorist” amongst the US population. In fact, quite the opposite.

I just want women to feel happy and realized without fear of oppression or the need to partake in political violence, but what the fuck do I know.

It’s not inflation. It’s price gouging.
