I disagree, the full quote sounds exactly that stubborn plus has vibe that he's in complete denial about reality

Fair points, but from a PR perspective dropping a nuke is more horrifying in an emotional way than blowing up a reactor. They can always deny too, "we were aiming for something else, it was an accident" which you can't do with a nuke.

Honestly whatever we do at this point is probably too little too late

Actually I'm pretty sure they know all that, they just know that they can get away with it and liberals will never try

Yeah I think we're actually saying similar things, I agree we need more Latino representation, I'm a Latino screenwriter myself. My issue is what you're saying, they want Latinos in "Latino" movies like Fast, Blue Beetle, some immigrant Oscar-bait, etc. As a Latino screenwriter myself I run into this shit all the time. They want a "Latino©" writer who will write them a Latino story so they can check a box. But if I give them something with a Latino lead that doesn't easily fit into their mega conglomerate idea of diversity, they're just confused and disinterested. They want diversity but want to keep us in a box

People are really taking the wrong message from this. You don't HAVE to put Latinos in a movie for Lations to show up. It can help sometimes, but it's absolutely not necessary and doesn't guarantee Latinos will see it (looking at you, Blue Beetle).

George Lopez recently disclosed an anecdote about a conversation he had with Bob Iger. Bob pretty shamelessly asked George for advice on how to advertise Hondas to Latinos. A little offended and annoyed, Lopez responded "I don't know, call it La Honda?"

The point is, Latinos and minorities in general are absolutely aware of instances in which token representation is used by corporations to try and take their money while pretending to give a shit about them. You can't just slap a Latino character in some generic bullshit and expect them to show up.

People are attracted to interesting characters, good stories, drama and action and romance. We want to see ourselves reflected in media, but we don't want to be patronized or worse - exploited. We want inclusion to feel organic and not something crapped out in a board meeting. We need more Latino stories but they can't just be ABOUT being Latino. Star Wars wasn't about Luke Skywalker being a white kid, it was about a kid going on an adventure and finding a greater purpose to his life. Culture is great for character backdrops but these stories need to do more than just pander for a few bucks.

Responded to another user with my story, but someone definitely broke in and stole your measuring cup for whatever reason. Probably someone who knew the landlord (or the landlord), managed to get a copy of your key, and took it for whatever reason. My aunt had a stalker who got a key to our house and would let himself in when no one was home. Would usually eat some food which is how we caught him. Now why would someone break in to steal a measuring cup, only to return it? No idea, but they were very comfortable coming in and out of your place.

Someone broke into your house. I had a similar story growing up, stuff going missing and nobody knowing a thing about it. Little stuff, like coffee creamer or a carton of eggs. Turns out my aunt had a stalker, he had somehow come across or made a copy of our house key, and would let himself into our house hoping my aunt would come over. He usually ate some food while he waited, which is how we caught him.

So yeah, someone stole your pants then decided to return them for whatever reason.

I would say amazing but it's clear I'm in the minority

King's Deli

Hank's Bagels

Those are my top picks if you're closer to the Toluca Lake side of town

Not really, got laid from my dream job the day after Christmas and the world is collapsing around me. Last year was the first in my life I was financially secure and now things are worse than ever. Going on 7 months of job searching for something even remotely similar and it's destroying my self esteem. My partner is amazing though so I'm very fortunate to have her in my life, but we've put so much on hold for so long because the world keeps getting more expensive and we can't keep up

That's a lot of confidence for a person that 90% of voters have never heard of

I think it's more that capitalists barred them from the global economy

Napoleon is a fantastic comedy, that's the impression I got watching it and genuinely enjoyed it

Pretty sure statistically mothers with cubs attack more often than solo males, but I could be remembering wrong

I threw snowballs at some young raccoons that were attracted to the scent of me grilling steaks. It was oddly wholesome

The problem wasn't lies vs. honesty, it was lies vs. incoherent geriatric ramblings

I liked the ending, you're waiting for him to just show up and do some more murdering, especially given the subject matter of the monologue. But you realize that wasn't his nature, he had a very specific and emotionally driven goal, and stopped as soon as it was achieved. I thought it was a great subversion of the typical slasher trope.

Although yeah, the monologue is just a little long...
