I hate the fact that they made 'The Descent 2'. Totally (and unnecessarily) killed the ambiguous ending of the original.

I seriously doubt that it would count as 'shitty', but it wasn't very well received and is not widely known either, for me rather a kind of comfort movie I'll defend till the edges of the earth: the Cohen brothers' 'A Serious Man'
So you see...up to a certain point it's kind of our own fault too
I'd love to, but I can't. Colonialism's 'Divide and conquer' rule is only applicable and effective if the targets are either willingly in the game (i.e., corrupt enough to collaborate) already relatively divided (i.e. Already fragmented enough), or stupid enough not to realise what's being done to them.
I don't want to be that person either, but I really don't think that Sykes is personally to blame for Britain's shitty policies in and for the Middle East, the consequences of which still play a major role in the mess the region still is. Point being that, besides Gringoland, Britain should also be held accountable for the role they have played around the world in everything from ethnic cleansing all the way to supporting brutal, even murderous, dictatorships.
My thoughts exactly. I really hope they don't mess that up.
Can you explain why you find the suggestion so outrageous ? I'm not advocating a 35 year old woman dating a 15 year old boy. I'm only saying that biology matters.
Regarding the last part of your comment, a dude called Christopher Simon Sykes, whose last name you might recognise, wrote a book called 'The man who created the middle East'. It's a biography of his grandfather, and an attempt to vindicate him.
You can argue all you want about TPM and its 'security'. I ALWAYS thought that forcing users to use TPM 2+ hardware is planned obsolescence and nothing/no one will convince me otherwise.
The only thing affected users can and should do is to leave that PoS of an 'operating system'.
Yea. That is THE one reason why I'd never touch GrapheneOS as long as it only runs on Pixel hardware.
Reminds me of Finkelstein's wise words...I can't exactly remember his wording, but you can easily find the video in Peertube.
He said something to the effect of : In almost all places in the world, it's wise to ideologically separate a people from its government...except in !$ra€| because a) civil institutions are so deeply intertwined with the military, and b) the majority of the people do, indeed, support the government's genocidal policies...
