Nobody is safe.

This is exactly what the minimum wage is supposed to prevent. The people that have taken that from us have made themselves rich at our expense.

I'm not picking a fight, I asked you what you meant by documented and confirmed. A coincidence is not a documented or confirmed case of a prophetic dream, it's a coincidence.

Like if you said that there was a documented and confirmed case of a human that can fly, and then pointed to that one lady who fell out of an airplane and survived, I would have the same objection.

Right, but did the person have a prophetic vision, or was it simply a coincidental dream?

Customs isn't the organization that does that. If you're a target for espionage, someone at the NSA or CIA or somesuch organization will find ways to tap your devices, but they don't do this to every phone imported to the country. Just consider the sheer volume of data that would produce, and the number of analysts who would need to review it. I wouldn't assume privacy, though. Act like they are watching everything.

What do you mean "documented and verified"? You mean someone dreamed about something that happened? Or someone consistently had dreams that could predict the future? The law of large numbers would suggest someone would eventually dream about something that ends up happening simply by coincidence. It would be a statistical anomaly if it never happened.

Yeah, iirc he got the diagnosis and just told his agent to say yes to literally everything he could do.

He was dressed as a cop, driving a police car, wearing a blue uniform, and a bulletproof vest.

I suppose comics have done that. Like Seinfeld worked bits into the show, especially in the early seasons. But that was all Jerry's stand up. Roseanne was the same early on, many of the sitcom premises and monologues were from Barr's stand up routines. But it was never like weekly guests got an opportunity to film and edit a tight five. I honestly can't think of another movie or show that did it, except maybe talk shows? But then it's still a performance in front of an audience. You can't workshop a line or a pause during the Late Show, unless it's a satirical talk show like Between Two Ferns or Eric Andre.

Paid for with Barlow's lost treasure, probably. At least we figured out how to clean shoes.

Young Bruce Willis was hilarious and nuanced. Hudson Hawk, Death Becomes Her, 12 Monkeys, the Jackal, and of course Moonlighting. He was willing to do wacky and silly and serious, and created memorable characters. He deserves to be remembered for that. The recent cash grabs should be ignored when considering his body of work. Pretty much everything since the Sin City sequel.

That's because they were all doing their best comic routines against another excellent comic. They could tweak the timing and the delivery and do all their best stuff as good as it can be done to the best possible audience. The premise was perfect for it.

Conroy's Bruce Wayne is as close to his "normal" speaking voice as I've ever heard, but he makes it sound like an affect in ways that are hard to describe. He was truly a great one.

2 justices dissented. Let that sink in a bit.

Well, it could be really bad, or it might only be a little bit bad.

Israel has nuclear weapons, Iran has been trying to develop nuclear weapons and probably has them, and both sides believe God is on their side.

As I understand it, they used three nails.

Same same.

Nailed it in one.

The same way we held accountable the perpetrators of the genocides in Rwanda and Armenia and Tibet and Darfur and Myanmar and Bosnia and Lebanon and Indonesia.

The hell is a USian?
