Take the money, sure. Then they're no longer billionaires and there's no need to kill them.

The death penalty is always wrong.
Murder is not a punishment and once you've stripped her of her ill-got gains there is no longer any reason to kill her.

If we were drinking in a bar (not that I drink in bars) on trivia night and this question came our team's way, I'd be pretty comfortable (granted, I'd be drunk) guessing Enter The Dragon.

You got to think it'd be a film which was popular at the start of home movies and remains popular enough to day to continue getting releases.

I was able to find proof of 11 releases of Enter The Dragon.

VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray, UMD, CED, LaserVision, Super 8, Betamax, VCD, VHD, and HD-DVD

I wasn't able to find any proof Enter The Dragon was released on China Blue High Definition, but with how heavily Warner Bros backed that format it would make sense if it was. Although they only had the international distribution rights to that film, an I'm not sure if the Hong Kong distributor Golden Harvest hold the rights to that film in Mainland China.

The only film I think could possibly be a contender for this contest is Oliver Twist—depending on which version it is—which according to this list was released on HDVMD. I doubt it, though.

I also doubt anything is pulling through by having been released on VideoNow, the only films having been released on the format—Snoopy Come Home, A Boy Named Charlie Brown, and Agent Cody Banks—not having near enough other releases to come close to the 11 we're currently at with Enter The Dragon.

Thinking on it some of the Star Wars films might tie, but I really think it all comes down to if Enter The Dragon got that CBHD release. 🤔

However! you are limited to watching The Animatrix on the Japanese UMD release under the same restrictions.

If you consider UMD "basically DVD" (a format 👎 Resurrections 👎 was released on) the highest resolution you can view it on a format on which the " fourth " film (which we don't acknowledge) was never released is specifically the PAL version of the film on VHS.

If you want to watch The Animatrix digitally and "UMD doesn't count" the Thai or Turkish dub of The Animatrix on VCD is the highest resolution you can own it on (adhering to our silly self-imposed limitations).

UMD is 720×480
PAL VHS is 625x240
I think Thailand & Turkey are both PAL countries, so their VCD is 352×288

I welcome addendums and corrections. I for example have no idea which if any of these films were and were not released on CBHD

If yes, is it determined by objective metrics such as child hunger or is there a song contest?

Comments such as:

letting more people help with Kbin development.
...
Why not getting some help? I know that Ernest already said he has a problem trusting people, but

Why has Ernest insisted on being the only developer to work on this? This creates a potential “single point of failure” situation.

I understand the desire to keep kbin a solo project in order to maintain control over it, but if this is going to see any success in the long term, then there needs to be a team.

come up in almost all threads about KBin's performance. At the time I just read them as nincompoops being whiners.

In hindsight does remind one a bit of similar social pressure leveled against Lasse Collin, does it not?

Not saying people are trying to backdoor this place or anything. The similarity just seemed worth pointing out.

I think that's cool. I have not discovered a limit to how large you can make the box.

Now, you can't vote this thread up or down, and if you try to reply you'll get an error*, but like Morpheus said to the Ziononians "We are still here". I think that's pretty cool.

You think it's too late for he could pull off a Point Break remake?

Is that hatred, or fear, that I hear in this comment?

That's "suppressing theft masquerading as art is awesome" you hear in that comment.

Awesome.

Canada Post recorded a $290 million loss in the third quarter of 2023, while its cost of operations rose by $26 million.

Services don't lose money, services are performed and they cost what they cost.

Why is there a watch that can tell when you're fucking? Only thing it needs to tell is time.

What do you think smegma is and why would you presume you'd find any at the upper crack of this fellow's ass?

From this picture, if anything the secret ingredient can be suspected to be doodoo chips.

This guy makes christian comics.

On dude's site this one is called Popular vs Unpopular

and underneath it is the bible quote:

Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant
than pretend to be somebody and have no food.
Proverbs 12:9 NIV

From what I can tell she dates a guy who knows how a lady should be treated but can't actually afford to treat her that way.
From the woman's face in the 4th panel she has grown insecure and lowered her standards, dating a guy who bikes and takes her for a burger. She sees on going to the bathroom that her date owns the restaurant chain they are eating at.

The lesson seems to be for women to know their place and date men who could treat them as they deserve, but instead take them to a place they get kickbacks from eating at (and seemingly don't reveal this fact before inviting them).

Praise jay-sus.

Edit: Since the "loser" has dark hair and takes her to a sushi restaurant, and the "good" (presumebly christian) catch has blonde hair and takes her to an all-american burger joint, it also comes off as slyly racist—at minimum xenophobic.

Do the people who wrote those lyrics get a cut of Spotify gatekeeping them?

No, fascists (which TERFs are) should not be allowed to fester here.
