Imagine being so invested in your own make-believe auctoritas that you're willing to traumatize a young girl falling asleep on a boring ass school field trip (something that has definitely never happened before and isn't a trope in hundreds of cartoons)
Absolutely correct, but I don't think she was talking about phone reps there, I think she directed that towards upper management types, who absolutely are wastes of space who rarely if ever do any actual work.
We really don't need to be drawing this out any further than we already have
I've got a buddy who spent some time in southern Africa, and his Afrikaans impression always cracks me up. He says Afrikaaner men especially sound like angry vikings talking with mouthfuls of shit
Which, you know, grand, it's about time these things were made less maddeningly frustrating. But this should be a footnote in a grand restructuring plan of...basically everything, at this point, or we die. That they're pushing this as its own thing, and that this article suggests it as a compelling reason to vote Democrat lest the Republicans kill it in its crib, is beyond insane.
Trust me on this one, you really didn't.
I suppose I'll be obliged to do the same if libgen is kaput for good this time.
I did try that, and while it works, it's painfully slow, and my last download crapped out at 84% after like an hour and a half. But, seems that's what we've got to work with for the time being.
Anybody know of a good alternative to libgen? Site works, but the mirrors and archives appear to be fucked, and I've got a decent number of sources to 'procure' for a term paper this month
The US doesn't commit crimes, we pass laws to make them legal post-facto
With the alternative being, what, exactly? Flaccid, impotent doomerism?
I don't really have singular favorites of anything, but if you put a gun in my face and told me to name my favorite movie, it'd probably be Lawrence of Arabia.
It's a pity that this movie gets mentioned whenever the concept of the white savior comes up, because it's the one movie I could point to from this era that has anything like a deconstruction of that concept. I don't know that I'd go so far as to say that it's an anti-imperialist movie, but it's definitely not pro-British empire by any means.
Edit: I completely forgot to mention, for any film nerds that live in southern California, who would like to see this movie in 70mm, look into American Cinematheque. They're a nonprofit that operates three movie theaters in the LA area from the 20s and 30s. They show all sorts of classic movies, mostly on film, and sometimes host talks by stars, directors, and producers as part of screenings. They screen Lawrence in 70mm pretty regularly, and I can't recommend that experience enough.
