    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    I love Raimi and do not mind at all that he took a gigantic payday to make a studio film. He probably got paid more for just this movie than his up front for all his other movies combined.

    There is an extreme shortage of "starter homes" because a few decade of low interest rates trained people that they could afford a ton of house for the same payment. A young professional or newly married couple in their 20s have been trained to start at 2000+ square ft in a master planned...

    In the past I would have agreed with you, but the number of people doing this has increased so much in the last 5 years that it has taught them it is a winning strategy.

    Imagine being so fragile that every time you see the name of any animal of the same species you think someone is trying to insult you. That's like white people saying they are deeply offended by seeing Triscuits or a loaf of Rye on Columbs day. What a fucking joke.

    This is terrible news and gives the government a way to phase out physical money and track all of your fucking activity with no way to circumvent it. They will *absolutely* outlaw competing currencies or charge for the 'convenience' of using altcoins because it is in their best interest to do...

    I wonder if they are sending them out to everyone; a ton of large corporations have instituted hiring freezes in the last 10 days because of the economic outlook for the rest of the year.

    Job Hunting

    A few questions: How much, percentage wise, was the new the new role over your previous one? Did your previous employer counter? Did you approach the previous employer to go back, or did they make you this offer unsolicited? Did they give you a reason why they want you back at this role?

    My issue is that every organization knows of those two use cases and still cannot even meet in some sort of middle ground, it is always to the detriment of the company.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    This is great. There is an entire galaxy of stories to tell and every movie after RoTJ has just ruined characters we love. Go make new ones and if they suck, they suck. I would say that this protects the ones we love from further damage but I stopped loving or caring about anything Star Wars...

    The Boys

    The showrunners are at least self-aware enough to understand that the far left is way the fuck out there. Do you think real wokesters would be able to stomach even a tongue-in-cheek reference to BLM (which was fucking hilarious) or a black character exploiting his skin color to become famous...

    It is absolutely linked; if those four countries abandoned the dollar policy tomorrow, how long would this new union with their own currency take to become self sufficient? Could they even work together enough to make it work with all of those power dynamics? And after all of that, do you...

    We are talking about two countries, not just one. Russia may not need the energy, but China sure does. The two of them together still cannot maintain the global alliance especially when there is an adversarial USA in the picture.

    Russia and China are import led economies; how do they get their vital food, energy, and raw material imports in this new non-global world?

    A couple of percentage points of interest rates would only fuck us if we continue to spend since all previous debt is at the old lower rates. I understand that asking congress to be fiscally responsible is crazy, but rates raising now does not mean there is no way out. It might be painful...

    I don't understand this doom and gloom; the US imports around 10% of its "needs;" much less than any other modern industrialized country or even the empires of old. We also have the might to secure any trade route we deem necessary due to our *literally* unmatched naval might. In the world...

    Haha, sorry for assuming; when I hear that the parents have to co-sign for rent I just assume the person is 18-25. I find it mind blowing that someone in their 30s would need their parents help for rent, but I guess that is a sign of the times.

    Your big issue is that she doesn't own the house (as with all renters) but she is also young and has her parents backing her mistakes. I would put aside more money for damages etc. just because she is going to have her idiot friends over and they won't give a shit about your carpet, walls...

    I liked the idea of Jibaro and never mind when my sci-fi/fantasy is an unexplained but weird fucking story. The only part I did not get was why he got his hearing back? Was it drinking her blood in the water? Also, why would anyone ever drink water that was obvious bloody?
