Why would they make it up? 5555555555555555 The huge amounts of money to be made for a starter.

Took a while to find anything admitting female lead movies don't do well in the action genre, but here's one: https://tvovermind.com/why-most-female-led-action-movies-continue-to-fail-at-the-box-office/ Unfortunately, we’ve gotten a string of feminism films that make it a war between men and women. When most of your feature is saying that all men are obnoxious, sexist, evil douchebags, you’re shunning away a good portion of the audience that would more than likely see your film. This notion seems obvious, but most female-led pics seem to make this mistake.

She isn't what the OP was about but woke movies. You'd have had to read all the other threads about such to know though.

I'd say a lot of people don't plan to see it either. The bit I saw of it was a short, as an introduction to one of those interview pieces on tv, the usual fawning by woke interviewer type of thing, and it was so nauseating that I couldn't watch it. I can assure you that she was no Gal Gadot.

Echo from Marvel Studios stars a chubby deaf Native American female. How can they be even more woke?

Elected politicians can't be sworn in till speaker elected, so government inactive. So, yes.

Don't stress about it. Hardly unique. https://www.washingtonpost.com/made-by-history/2023/01/05/speaker-mccarthy-1856-house/ the 1855-1856 speaker election, lasted for 133 ballots over nearly two months.

We had loads of patients that couldn't even speak English getting free NHS treatment.

Depends on the condition treated as to whether those NI contributions covered the cost of the treatment. I know the excellent diagnostics alone that I had ( bone scan, MRI, CT etc ) cost far more than any amount of NI I paid. Including the op, probably hundred of thousands of quid. Also the extras like months of full pay while off work post op.

I used to work in a London hospital doing outpatient operations first decade of the century. While it was known that people that were not even British ( had children living in the UK ) would fly in and get a GP to refer them for NHS treatment, we were forbidden to ask them if they were actually entitled to be operated on. I did hear that that was stopped, and a good thing if it was.

If it's that loose it wasn't made right.

I've had my present one ( made in Chiang Mai ) for about 5 years and works well. Would feel wrong going to sleep without it. Had one since about 1988

Probably part of the package experience. I remember in Singapore hearing a tourist saying his package tour included a visit to Bugis Street and thinking "there goes the neighbourhood". Probably same for Chinese tour groups in Pattaya- included a visit to a naughty girl show. One suspects the gogo will regret allowing it.

Times changed then. It used to be packed with DDG bar girls, and not a fattie among them.

Only if they want to be ostracized for doing so. Political suicide IMO. I doubt any choice will succeed unless the holdouts get what they want. I doubt it is anti McCarthy per se, and when they get what they want he will be elected.

Beat me to it. Any lingering respect I had for harry has now been consigned to rubbish bin. He knows that William won't defend himself in public, but resorted to being a slime anyway. I hope he is informed that he will no longer be welcome in England. First time I saw bridges being burned quite so effectively. I suspect harry will now be regarded as a wimpy lap dog and ridiculed. He deserves to be IMO.

Given the alternative, I'm not even remotely surprised that so many reject entirely the Democrat vision. When the Democrats stop with the leftist agenda they might gain converts from the right of center voters. IMO they look at California, and say "no <deleted> way I'm voting for that <deleted>".

I don't know, but I suspect it's because they are replacing humans with machines. How else could they provide the same service with so many less people otherwise? I also suspect it's a taste of things to come for many labour intensive companies.

Like I said, it looks more like they are using the situation to impose conditions before allowing a speaker to be elected.

I was responding to another poster. I wasn't suggesting it was an option. I do understand that it's another western person that thought they could live in LOS without being able to afford it if it went wrong. I left the country I loved and wanted to live rest of my life in because I knew I couldn't afford health insurance. I didn't expect others to assist me in a catastrophic event. I could continue, but perhaps I should leave it at that.

IMO anyone kept alive only because of the machines is suffering, unless sedated. Not having worked in a Thai hospital I can't speak on specifics, but don't expect qualified nurses to be hand holding and soothing brows etc. My wife had to sleep under her mother's bed to take care of her. I had an op in a private hospital in Thailand and the only time I saw a qualified nurse was escorting a Dr or giving out the drugs. Personal cares were given by aides.

Only to the <deleted> that are playing it. Not to anyone forced to listen to it, unless it's a concert that they choose to be at.

A major problem of our time. Done by ignorant and antisocial <deleted> that should be locked up, IMO. Most advanced version of humanity in 50,000 years and populated by <deleted>. If that's the best we can expect for the future, I'm happy to be not long till my ending. I don't envy those to come after me.

Errrr, the wind doesn't blow all the time. Nuclear doesn't depend on weather, but the greenies have sabotaged that as a viable option. France seems to have managed nuclear well.

If the Greenland ice cap melts it would affect sea level, likewise in Antarctica. I understand most of the ice lost from Antarctica is floating ice shelves, so makes no difference to sea level. not leaving any offspring behind me. I have done my share! Likewise. I did the best thing anyone can do to save human's environment by not making more people.
