Just for context, she’s actually from a video game the UK government funded about political idealogy - https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/amelia-pathways

It seems like it’s just become a bit of a meme/rallying point for some people in the UK.

She’s actually from a video game the UK government made (pretty sure it was made by the government). In it your not supposed to agree with Amelias political views, but obviously that’s not really a good way to convince people.

Flying 200 drones at the same time is easy, having them do anything useful/effective is hard. Seems more like bluster than anything effective at this point in time, given AI systems aren’t really there yet for precise targeting.

If their is high inflation (higher than the CD), then CDs are bad. Your money is locked in and losing real value over time due to the CD rates not being high enough.

Thats why I said it depends on what you are trying to defend against. What’s hard is the economy is teetering between recession->low interest rates and high inflation. It seems like the Fed has gotten inflation under relative control, but bond sell offs would probably trigger rising bond rates (as the US has to make bonds more appealing), which I fear could lead to inflationary pressure in the US. However, given Trump it’s hard to know what he’ll do next so maybe diversification is the only thing to do.

It depends on how the devaluation occurs. If it’s high inflation, then CDs screw you over in two ways; fixed rates and time locked.

I mean, trying to start WWIII is probably a bigger deal than anything we could find in the Epstein files. I’m not sure commiting even worse acts counts as a distraction.

Maybe not the worst game, but notable for being somewhat misleading - Mario Is Missing for the SNES.

If you’re not familiar with it, it’s is an educational game where you play as Luigi and walk around random cities asking questions, which is very different from other Mario games of the time.

I can’t really picture her as Lara, but maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Feels a bit like casting Tom Holland as Nathan Drake.

What were your thoughts on Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft?

She was a brunette in it, so if you really only know her from GOT it can really throw you.

Haha, I hadn’t heard of that, but I guess that kinda makes my point about them really wanting to tell that story arc.

I honestly think that is the second best Disney star wars movie, and if it hadn’t released after the “Last Jedi” it would have been received better by everyone.

I think it’s a shame we won’t see where that plot line was going with Darth maul as it seems like they had a real plan for that story arc (so much so that it keeps popping up in other shows/games).

That was an interesting read, thanks for sharing.

I think it could have been done well if you had the conflict from Danerys and Cersei basically leave humanity open to the whitewalkers invasion. Essentially set up the fall of man due to a power struggle.

Would have worked a bit with the overall narrative that the game of thrones doesn’t matter if there is nothing left to claim at the end.

Life is Beautiful is one of my favorites that should really only be watched with subtitles. It’s a really sad movie, but sticks with you in a good way.

They made a musical of it a while back. It didn’t do very well on Broadway, but it had some good songs in my opinion.

I’m probably biased against it cause it didn’t click for me when I watched it, but I don’t think it holds up. It does seem to kinda set in motion the emotional angst that many other anime followed later on and started the trend of “everything is actually symbolism for God and what is the meaning of ‘humanity’”, but I’m not sure either of those tropes were ever really handled well in anime (full metal alchemist, Tri-Gun, etc. for example all get a little heavy handed by the end).

That being said, you won’t waste your time watching it. It is a complete and thought provoking story and is referenced in a lot of pop culture. It just might not be your favorite show.

There is a Final Space graphic novel coming out that should wrap up the plot!

The brought it back a couple years ago to do the thousand year blood-war arc (which I think is the last arc of the Manga).

Edit: Changed door to blood-war

If you read the articles on this it sounds more like the US told Nigeria it was going to bomb people and to just deal with it. Even Nigerias response to the bombing does not strongly indicate they requested the US to act.

Edit: Fixed spelling.
