You can dismiss your trolls, especially the ones who side with sex traffickers.

I get that Romania doesn’t exactly have the right to a speedy trial, but why would you let a probable rapist and sex trafficker wander around your country at will? What do you think he’s doing with his free time, running a soup kitchen?

The Tates have since been released from custody, once again.

Agreed - it’s a ridiculous, clickbaity argument. (I know you wrote this comment a while ago, I got to this article late.)

No, but it does when it has secured the financial support of a bunch of self-serving greedy asshole billionaires who want an ‘out of the way’ island paradise to retreat to when the damage they’ve done to the rest of planet comes crashing down. There’s a reason why nearly all of Hawaii isn’t owned by the native…

Thank you. My agent will be in touch.

They don’t seem to have thought of how they will keep their security staffers loyal when money has no value. Being shut away in a redoubt with a bunch of armed men who might at any moment realize that there’s nothing to stop them from taking over may not be such an optimal survival strategy.

No, it’s not. As I explained. (shrug)

I think he just means that he won’t be contributing to any more pre-established cinematic worlds. Dune is not a continuation of any previous film. He’s not beholden to what Lynch did, or to the Sci Fi Channel miniseries, or even to the books. He can make his own choices without worrying about whether it lines up with…

Denis, buddy, 2049 was a better film than the original. By a country mile. You did good, man.

BR 2049 is both a sci-fi classic AND superior to the original imo, box office be damned. Lay your burden down, Villeneuve.

A particularly difficult headline to parse immediately.

for a long time here in NZ there were all these ads in the help wanteds for “tradesmen earn $3000 per week in the islands” and they wanted a bunch of HVAC guys and plumbers and sparkies etc but they never said where or what and I’m pretty sure they would have been building a Dr No island for some gajillionaire.

Perhaps, but then why Hawaii? An island that is dependent on the rest of the world for almost everything.

Ding ding!! They somehow think they’ll come out after the fall of civilization and take over. 

Gaslighting: “to psychologically manipulate (a person) usually over an extended period of time so that the victim questions the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and experiences confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, and doubts concerning their own emotional or mental stability”

Given how bad the answers are anyway, is this really surprising?
