I disagree. Yes, the protaganist had religous motivations for his actions, but that doesn’t mean the film itself has a religous message.

3/4 for amendments, actually.
My issue with Verizon 5g is that it is worse than their old Edge service.
5g on my signal bar essentially means “doesn’t work.” It wasn’t an issue when I could turn off the 5g radio, but Samsung pushed an update that removed that option.
The biggest argument the Republicans have against Biden is his age.
Bernie is older than Biden.
It doesn’t matter at this point that he’d be better. The only way to combat the “too old” argument is to nominate someone younger than Trump. And there’s plenty of people younger than 78.
They’re not. The ship has 1 bad thruster, but need like a dozen to fail to make re-entry impossible. They could leave right now and everything would be just fine.
The thing is the module that’s malfunctioning doesn’t survive re-entry, so the only time to investigate the problem is before they head back.
Pascal Payet escaped prison by being picked up by a helicopter.
3 times.
My favorite was the one that generated a ship code but never actually shipped the item, and kept telling Etsy “Oops - one more week for us to get this figured out” every time I complained with Etsy until the refund period ended, and Etsy stood behind them.
I’m never using Etsy again after that bullshit.
My Dad used to be a hot-shot delivery driver.
He didn’t sit around waiting for a job. He’d go about his business and when his phone pinged he’d decide in the moment if he wanted to do the job.
Sometimes we’d be watching TV and his phone would ping and he’d get up to leave. Sometimes he wasn’t interested and he’d let someone else get it.
The issue with Uber, Lyft, etc isn’t that they treat their drivers as contractors. People who have they option of when, where, and whether to work and are paid per task aren’t employees. The problem is the pay is terrible for what they’re doing.
What you’re talking about is “waiting to be engaged” versus “engaged to wait.”
The drivers are not on set schedules and have no obligation to the company except for the time between accepting a fare and dropping them off. If the drivers were required to return to a staging area and wait for a call the they’d need compensation. But they’re not. They can do whatever they want at that point.
When I worked retail I wasn’t paid for the time between my shift’s end and the next one beginning, but that’s what you’re arguing for in this case.
They waited until they were sued to stop.
If you get caught speeding, the judge doesn’t throw out the ticket because you slowed down as the cop pulled you over.
The Internet Archive had a system in place specifically to ensure that they had a legal license for each copy of the book loaded out digitally at any given time. This essentially made it a library.
During the lockdown, they intentionally stopped using this system and loaned out unlimited copies. They didn’t just violate copyright in accident, they willfully and intentionally disabled their own systems designed to preserve copyright.
I think the publishers suck too, but the Internet Archive humped the bunk on this one.
Kavenaugh has been better than expected (still bad). Actually, all of the Trump appointments have been less-bad than Alito, Thomas, and Scalia. If it weren’t for the fact that Kavenaugh replaced Kennedy and Barret RBG it wouldn’t be so bad.
The good news is that the next 2 up for replacement are probably Thomas and Alito. If we can hold onto the White House we may be able to unfuck this.
He is no longer useful for them.
Carriers will offer better deals on the phones though if you’re planning to stick with them.
I’m looking at a $1000 phone that ATT will give me for 2.99/month for 2 years. That’s over 85% off on the phone. The trick is they give it to you by actually charging like $42/month, but then giving a $39 credit every bill for 2 years, so you have to pay the difference on the $1,000 phone if you jump carriers.
But since they’re the only carrier that works at my office, and this is gonna be a work phone (my company pays me a monthly stipend for it), I can live with that.
Worse than that. You bought software licenses specific to that Wii, not to an online account. If it died, you lost all your purchases.
I work in municipal government, and this is the one national case where I haven’t seen any of the police defending the PD. They’re all like “fuck those guys. They let kids die to limit liability insurance rates.”
That’s also most of what’s on Amazon these days.
Politicinaa adapting their positions to be more in-line with the will of the people in order to secure votes is exactly how representative democracy is supposed to work.
Idaho only has prisoners, potatoes, and gun-totin’ white supremacists.
What else are they gonna do?
People keep saying that while skipping over the fact that Robert Kennedy would probably have been the nominee and defeated Nixon if he hadn’t been assassinated in June.
