I was going to comment on that, he played a commander of riders of Rohan that did his best to support his king. Not that I don't like his other roles but I thought being involved in lord of the rings was worth mentioning with the rest. Wait the Doom movie was mentioned but not Lord of the Rings? Huh....never watched Doom, played it tons when it was new though.

Such a great actor, he tends to improve any movie I've seen him in. Like if the role was poorly cast it may not be memorable but alright movie (well depending on which one, Dredd maybe not) but he's definitely memorable in his roles.

Either that or cylons are going to tromp around or maybe a nearby Stargate. That amount of low greenery always makes me think of BC first is all, not exactly of course but in the ballpark.

Still had the same first thought, python is always front of my mind.

Probably a tiny town thing when that happens,wiith some dude that looked like Bond owning the grocery store. Hah like anyone that could play Bond just owning a store in a small town staffed with the Mountain, just having a laugh now. Next thing I'll hear is the angel dude is Scotty....did look like a lovely town mind you. I could go for a Cornetto. Think it was pretty similar to what my dad used to buy me as a treat growing up in Canada many many moons ago now.

I'm not familiar with that one, but from that seems like it may be amusing. Since I got this far may as well ask, what is that comic?

I had trouble understanding fascism when I was in school (early-mid 90s), cause they put the political axis and apparently it was a lot of authoritarianism with free economics (some nationalization of industry of course). For the longest while I thought fascism was more free economics than pure authoritarian. Not that it sounded good anyways.

Now I do see it's just pure authoritarian with a slight change, if you happen to follow their ideals they may leave you alone. Till you have a thought, say something to a neighbor or post a random thing online. In the end it's all the same except a thin vineer of freedom. Unfortunately these days don't need secret police the NSA or whichever agency for your situation, hears everything anyways.

What's wrong with wanting to help everyone rather than sticking a boot in people's necks for no reason anyways? I truly wish we could all come to some common ground, we only have one planet let's figure out what works. Won't happen I know but I can hope one day..... we'll all see our neighbors are cool. Mean unless the act like assholes but think i got my point across, not everyone acts like someone else no reason to use broad strokes.

I'm not sure they'd ever been in the room, at any point close to US announcing their 'deals in progress', 'near complete deals' or when anyone in the US administration thought about Iran. Actually last one may be correct, they sent non us officials for the dealing like wtf? Keystone hockey, bunch of hosers.

I dunno where I caught on the keystone hockey bit, don't even watch it but apparently the junior league so it fits well. Though not even sure these dudes would hit a junior league in politics. May as well be the beer league.

As a person who used to go to many raves and after parties that would have rocked. Cuddle puddle.

The worst part doge saved what, a few billion at most? The current US administration has stolen more than that, so a few billionaires can make more money? That should be enough for citizens to be angry let alone their other shit.

The Iran conflict alone is least a billion dollars a day when active.... for worse than what was agreed upon before. Go US for another shot in the foot but wrecks the entire world's economy and makes you look worse on the world stage while making Iran stronger. Making things great still?

Yeah in decent countries the min wage and being able to afford a broken leg (or similar accident) aren't as closely related. Mean maybe only got so many sick / vacation days but the actual cost of treatment isn't what you're worried about. At worse you'd be out the money you'd make during non working days, not much of an actual cost (okay in Canada I had to pay for the crutches when I twisted my knee one close to Xmas time slipping on ice, unfortunately didn't realize it just needed a good knock in to get right till that happened)

There are worse situations but that's probably the worst case scenario (well outlying cases exist) that most people come into for the most part is all. Of course some worst cases exist but expecting someone to pay 5 plus digits (okay I know that's even low) of expenses for medical is insane.

Rising tide, boats etc. More flippant than I mean, I really do wish we could figure out a more equal society, and I do well enough. If I did worse but more people could not worry, I'd be okay with that too. As long as it was a society wide thing not just working classs gets kneecapped while the rich get richer.

Maybe he asked for more because he didn't understand and he thought it was so great as an adult to point out animals and remember a few words. Course I think the actual cause ... That doctors need updates on his progress into his decline.

Oh an amusing comment about joining other nations where it's not 'we will make you one of us' like our direct neighbors have been making lately, from the dude with no humour whatsoever. Know I've said it before on here but will do again, I've always felt closer in values and ideals that match the EU. Being a part of EU may help for more policies that help people rather than try and compete with the US. They obviously don't want consensual cooperation. Unpack the last line as you prefer, probably close enough.
