Not a fan, but there are better and worse ones, and Moonraker is down there with the worst of them. Goldeneye was the last one with anything going for it imo.

Oh there's loads of stuff tied up with it: the history of anticatholicism in England, how that relates to Ireland; then you've got the North/South American axis too. And this stuff matters, but theology is not the driving force of history, is it

The thing these people need rubbing on their faces is that they endorsed genocide, a hard right immigration policy, zero commitment on reproductive rights AND STILL LOST. You fucking sold your soul for nothing, you fucking losers. All you achieved was adding your voices to the chorus of "more racist violence, please".

The ending of the original is quite pessimistic though iirc? I take your point, but imho giving it a big emotive movie-style ending wasn't a terrible choice. See also, Fight Club

Lmao as if NATO wouldn't be fucked without Turkey

Imo those changes were one of the few things about the film that truly slapped — the UK is quite capable of going full fash without a nuclear apocalypse

and it looks like I got on an anti-ukraine list somehow?

Quite possible you just rubbed someone the wrong way. Wil Wheaton used to put anyone who sent him 'shut up, Wesley' on the gamergate list.

The Mask, and I turned out just fine

I very much doubt this dumbass registered his daughter as a write-in. Performative purity politics at its worst smdh

What a strange question

Pouring myself a bottle of cheese, mashing viscera with mayonnaise and calling it 'salad'

Hit yourself in the testicles with a cartoon mallet, then rethink your priorities

His outpouring of dismay when Cameron won in 2015 was a real salve. It was a good podcast.

He was always hesitant to attack Chavez on The Bugle iirc (for a lib)

Many such cases. Something really needs to be done about it.

Tbh that is possibly the stupidest political compass I have ever seen

Leaning towers are ten-a-penny in Europe — got to hand it to Pisa's marketing department tbh

I just think it's better to be sure

Anyone who says 'externalities' belongs in prison

If you've managed to hold onto those friendships, I'd say that's a very good thing. It gets harder to make friends as you get older — 'hanging out' stops being a thing as the pressure of getting by in this hellscape mounts. Nurture those relationships, because they are precious!
