I think you might be right!

Absolutely unhinged and measurably false. Sure the second highest upvoted post over the last 12 hours is about genocide in Gaza.

I guess my Tianenmen onion ruffled some jimmies lol.

I really find it hard to understand how people get into this twisted mindset.

Edit: just reading the thread. Yikes.

“CRACK the right egg and get 1% off for every year since nothing of note happened in Tiananmen Square on that fateful day,” confirmed the welcome screen on consumers’ Temu apps today, as the Chinese discount online marketplace of stuff that you’ll end up throwing away sought to mark the anniversary.

I'd say archive.org would do you a solid there.

edit: I got curious and checked myself on archive.org

  • September 2012 - 7.8
  • February 2014 - 7.0
  • May 2016 - 7.1
  • August 2018 - 7.1
  • June 2021 - 7.1
  • Current - 7.1

I use IMDB a lot so a few things worth noting: initial scores tend to be high as you have folks who actively wanted to see it voting. There is inevitably a drop off as folks who aren't "into" a specific genre watch and vote. It then it gets harder over time to change the score as more votes have cemented the average. There are currently 305K votes so that 7.1 is likely stuck forever now.

It definitely lost money but there was a fan push for a sequel that seemed to have a bit of steam for a while.

Urban played the perfect Dredd. He absolutely nailed the comic book and Anderson and Ma-Ma were superb too. Definitely one of my favourite sci-fi flicks of all time.

If a child gives you anything, anything at all, blade of grass, shell at the seaside, whatever - take it with real, heartfelt thanks. It is all they have to give.

Sgt Schultz also collected data on US fighter aircraft, military tactics, and the US military's defence strategy for Taiwan, based on what it learned from Russia's war in Ukraine.

42 grand to sell out your country and fellow soldiers like that?!?! Fuck. Me. I am utterly shocked at how cheap that is.

Such alliteration. I'm in awe. Like 6 B words in a row and not one of them is bitch.

Amazing.

40 built total, some exported with roughly 7 active in the Russian air force according to Wikipedia. Cost to build around $330M.

From what I understand the reality after the last one was downed is that there were probably 4 left active with the rest being used for parts because of sanctions.

Absolutely savage work.

Top ten movie zinger for me. Delivered perfectly. Loved her character so much.

In fairness the setup was absolutely beautiful. She's some woman for the zingers.

Really nice summary. Heads up you say Pakistani instead of Palestinian a few times.

Never knew about the Uganda thing. Fascinating. Must read more on that.
