‘PRIMETIME’ will premiere at Venice Film Festival in August.
Starring Robert Pattinson as Chris Hansen, the film follows Hansen as he runs ‘How To Catch A Predator’ where he confronts adult men who think they are meeting minors to have sex.
What blows my mind about the Roman Empire is that lack of technology is far easier to overcome than lack of freedom from bureaucrats
Like unironically these guys built the most insane civic architecture and still hold the record
We have to technology to build something a hundred times bigger than ever but instead we chose to employ bureaucrats and allow them to micromanage every detail of buildings down to toilet spacing and the number of fasteners per foot
They were willing to spend a significant portion of their GDP on making their civilization epic, and we have cheap bullshit and decay
Terrible trade
Absolutely humiliating
@mauddweeb I like Nolan but he's inconsistent as hell so I figured this would suck because Oppenheimer was too good
Mike & Jay liked it maybe it's alright
@SurfCity_Mayor@Polymarket yeah man it's not just capex spending, it's leveraged collateral on that spending. JP Morgan alone owns a *lot* of GPUs and stock in startups wrapped in leveraged financial vehicles. Nvidia is giving out loans to buy cards that are collateralized with the cards they're selling
@aazendude@heisei_ramen@ChristianHeiens My forebears were Scots-Irish coal miners
Those dandies authored a society that changed the social order of the West
@aazendude@heisei_ramen@ChristianHeiens Of course there were evicted tenant farmers from Ulster, indentured servants from the urban poor, convicts etc., but demographically it's more true that the Colonies saw a higher proportion of landed gentry, noninheriting sons of lesser nobility, and the merchant class
@aazendude@heisei_ramen@ChristianHeiens That is true of the Scots-Irish and later German/Scandinavian immigrants of the early 1800s, but it's not true of the bulk of early settlers, many of whom were part of the growing unlanded mercantile class -- the literate, skilled "middling sort" like the Puritans
@aazendude@heisei_ramen@ChristianHeiens That was only ever true in certain parts of the Colonies, and quickly became untrue after they were established. Americans were healthier and wealthier than Europeans within a few decades. French and especially Hessian troops fighting during the revolution were shocked by this
