It depends on the mess, but kids movies are always messy and theaters have the staff on hand to clean those kinds of movies, or can increase staff if necessary.

There are entire levels of the ocean where ecosystem is fed on the slow sinking of dying animals.

My guess is that Japan and East Asia are treating this a lot different compared to Europe and North America.

For East Asian allies, the USA is pivoting from the full world to focus more on the Pacific Ocean, so a post Trump USA would still be involved in the region. Also, unlike Europe, East Asian allied countries can't outspend their strategic rival by themselves.

So, they'll spend a little to keep Trump happy in order to keep the USA involved in East Asia while they wait out Trump.

It is likely that the EU is dropping bourbon taxes because US barrels are very important to wineries and distilleries in the EU.

Also, many wine regions in the USA are in liberal states, so this could be the EU trying to target their tarrifs.

AAA used to be about creating fun games. The Super Mario and Mario Kart games, for instance, are AAA games.

It just happens to be that you can create a lot of complex and fun games today without pushing the edge of technology. That wasn't always the case.

I feel like that with a lot of gaming, though. It feels like a lot of the industry has progressed where AAA gaming isn't worth it while A and AA games are just as, if not more, entertaining.

It feels more like Nintendo is building the engine for the next decade, but I'm still happy with last decade's engine.

People also seem to forget how much it costs to create content, even shitty listicles.

The last two Batman movies kind of hit home at the incompetent billionaire.

The Dark Knight Rises has a billionaire give resources to an agent of chaos to try to get more power at a time when he's got a lot as is.

The Batman has the entire ruling class except Bruce Wayne being completely corrupt. Bruce Wayne, the only non-corrupt elite outside the new mayor, is incompetent.

A lot of investors are coming out of the woodwork, either with timid public comments or via reporters. Kramer is likely being used as a mouthpiece for these comments.

They probably thought Trump was going to given like his first term, not really doing anything except pushing tax cuts and gutting regulators. That the S&P500 is down over 12% from last month can cause major issues for some investors. Not every investor is Warren Buffett.

Of course. They would ban any other discussion.

It may not be the doctors complaining.

While not exactly the dynamic between doctors and nurses, I've had to be a "doctor" and deal with people in a "nurse" role. The typical "nurses" enforced a hierarchy where they didn't have to make technical decisions and their work was crap as a result. I got one "nurse" who was proactive and was an asset to my team, but they got pushed out since they didn't play the game the way other "nurses" did.

The person who did the firing was surprised that I thought so highly of the "nurse" who was fired.

Processing the context, you can see how a lot of internet companies have continued the trend of making wage positions "more entrepreneurial".

I'm used to the usual "remember me" text messages, but is there a reason they are trying to include the metro area in the message as well?

 

They are supposed to be grown from spores, so what use are ork nipples?
