A movie called Sir Henry at Rawlinson's End, extremely surreal British Arthouse. Like an opium dream from the brain of a fox hunting aristo, part comedy part stream of consciousness spoken word poetry. The gags, puns, and quips are truely monumental. It's a gem, though not PC, you've been warned: https://youtu.be/N6W5RB50fXk?si=eYUlKqkTyyMvHz-Z
I'm not saying I won't be buying real estate in San Francisco, Magic The Gathering cards, and shares in big tech, but a solid backbone of 1000x value bitcoin is hard to beat on multiples.
For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.
Reagan cut taxes while increasing spending, despite talking like his goal was to reduce government excess. As a result, the national debt increase for the first time since WWII and has not stopped in that trend since then.
This is probably a ridiculous question, but I usually stream from my laptop to my LG tv or my phone to any other tv, and I find that using my VPN keeps the casting output option from working. Like in Popcorntime, the Watch Now doesn’t show my tv, only the laptop app or VLC. On my daughter’s fire stick I can’t even cast to...
Follow this simple rule for clarity, replace the names and ethnic background of the parties in question with A and B, acknowledge that A and B have historical conflict and are distinct ethnic groups but set aside their cultural characteristics and specifics. Now take the actions of A towards B and compare them to historical examples. Under jurisprudence there can be no a priori exoneration of any group due to historical factors, actors must be judged solely on their actions.
The ICC follows "The definition contained in Article II of the Convention describes genocide as a crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, in whole or in part. It does not include political groups or so called “cultural genocide”." And Israel is walking a fine line at the moment by claiming that they are exterminating a political group "Hamas" but their actions towards the civilian population will determine their guilt or innocence in the eyes of history and the international community. The ICC's job is to collect all the facts that we civilians can not, and make a determination based on those facts. If you believe Israel is innocent, you should not worry as the facts will clearly exonerate them and so will history be written.
I just did a two-shot where we went five level 20 characters vs 5 Ancient Dragons. Beyond all expectations the players actually won without a Permadeath. That said, the GM didn't use the Dragons' spell abilities much, that might have turned the tide.
Worth noting that it was the fact we had two Druids with Shapechange that turned the tide of battle.
As a bit more background the Ancient Dragons were Blue, Black, Red, Green, and White, so we had to work around a mix of damages. Nice bonus with the Pit Fiend, Dragons aren't immune to the Frightened Condition and creatures within 20 feet of the Fiend roll for Frightened at start of turn, and all attacks are magical so it punches through resistances.
First Druid Shapeshifted to Ogremoch soaking damage and myself as the second Druid Shapeshifted to Pit Fiend multi-striking with poison helped to finish the fight, our Cleric was putting out some serious dps with Smites though he went down and had to be revived twice, a sorcerer with Invulnerability potion successfully splitting off two of the Dragons with Agro and doing some strong AOE until the Pit Fiend came in to finish them off. I was the Pit Fiend Druid, Dream Circle, focusing healing after summoning a Draconic Spirit to soak damage early on until the Shapeshift towards the end. Wizard in the backline focusing Lightning damage with hasten, but the Blue Dragon being immune he switched it up towards the end.
Does anyone have a good source for digitized comics in bulk? I'm tired of paying the corpos for subscriptions and in a dreamworld I'd find the whole backlogs by publisher in decent resolution and format.

The answer would be to Crack down on distributors doing the last leg to retail, hitting them with major fines. Enforcement at customs is always going to be a losing battle, the only way to win is to dry up demand at the commercial level.

Why is there a ICC case of genocide against Israel but not China or Russia?
I don’t understand, there is no proof of genocide in Israel but YEARS of evidence against China and Russia. Can anyone explain this to me?
