It was just a bad movie. Far too much comedy for the serious subject matter, plot holes, illogical motives, deus ex machina (laser battering ram?).
I get that in this day and age, people aren't used to seeing well made movies. So some can look passed the obvious flaws. But Star Wars has finally been Disney-fied. Blan, safe, and monolithic.
Because I don't argue with random strangers on Facebook, nor do I allow anyone but my connected friends comment or even see my posts. If you let this shit be public then you're an idiot and deserve to be trolled.
You should look at the trade balance instead. Since the '70s the US has been a net importer of goods, and exporter of promises written on green pieces of paper.
Do you think that is sustainable forever ?
Nothing is sustainable forever. But what makes you think this isn't a stable system? Have you studied this issue and determined that the US economy will collapse in the near future? Or do you just "feel" like it's unstable and untenable?
The fact that it's not backed by a government is a good thing. Name a government right now that isn't being run like shit?
Regardless of your personal opinion, the US generates a GDP of $18.5 Trillion (with a big T) per year. No amount of mismanagement is going to change that value overnight or even over several decades. The USD's ups and downs are like a straight line relative to bitcoin's. So why should anyone trust bitcoin? Because that's all money is, trust in solid form, even bitcoin. Why should any retailer take bitcoin as payment? Where is the guarantee that they can take that currency down the street and buy food with it? Can they pay their rent or their bills? The only thing they can 100% do with it is exchange it for USD.......imagine that!
So I think that maybe instead of trying to understand why no one can wrap their head around your ideas. Maybe you should studying economics a bit more so you can understand how fiat currencies actually work.
If you can't confide to and rely upon your friends and family for support in hard times, then you really have no friends and family. Time to find better people to surround yourself with.
Meh, if they do try this extortion BS I'll just stop watching TV and movies altogether and go play more video games and go out hiking more often. It'll probably be the best thing to ever happen to me.
I pay for Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, and a basic cable package. But I still download all of my shows and put them on my Plex server. I do this for two main reasons. 1) Avoid commercials.....I hate commercials. 2) To have all my shows in one app for my viewing pleasure. Regardless of what these media companies think, convenience is king and jumping around from platform to platform isn't fun. Yes yes, I know cable provides the convenience but the horrible service, commercials, and paying for content I never intended to watch ruins the convenience.

I'm on #4 so far and I'm still enraptured with the series. I keep hoping that the show makes it this far into the novels.
It's both a great TV show and a great novel series that is on the same level as A Song of Ice and Fire IMO.
It's basically admitting that they can't hack it in a normal market with normal competition.
Sue the department back to the stone ages. It's the only way they'll change their "M.O."
Like I eat Domino's pizza.
I was more curious about this:
up from 4/1 during the Obama administration.

I don't stream. I just load my old iPod with my music and set it on random play.
I ditched that the minute I was able to connect an MP3 player to my stereo.
It's called empathy. Who the hell is writing these articles?

Star Wars is dead, long live Star Wars.

Please answer my question first.

making multiplayer online gaming impossible unless you subscribe to the package.
Dear Odin I don't play online games. What am I? 12?

You sound like a typical developer who shits on the importance of user experience. Go away.

Problem solved.
wishes I could go back to iOS 10
If only we could bring these mandates to the internet.
The way I keep my cell plan cheap is to have the cheapest data plan. I save my internet browsing for the computer at home.
Ahhh now that's some good /.
