To stop a boat you need to learn how to think like a boat.

Isn't Australia primarily a resource exporting / property speculation based economy? How you supposed to export that iron ore and coal and koalas without boats, hmmm?

Do you really think the sort of man who would poo poo himself at Engadine Maccas after the '97 grand final would lie about stopping boats?

No, you just stop the boats from coming in, they can still go out. Like the reverse of ambulances and hospitals.

I've seen the top video before, and it's funny how many idiots are scrambling to find excuses on why a a woman doing the same task calmly and carefully is "not the same" as a manly man on an oil rig who looked like he climbed out of an uruk Hai birthing pool.

I hope there's no drilling fluid in that mud, because those dudes already have rare and exciting cancers if so

Kit Walker posted:

I feel like in that first video it's probably not really good that he's literally slipping in the mud, but then again I don't work on an oil field so I dunno how often you're expected to be shirtless and slathered in the stuff



I love that first tweet. A woman on my local discord that's worked as a blasting engineer and on drill rigs absolutely tore those workers apart. That helmetless shirtless guy covered in mud? He literally stood under the drill string, sans helmet, and let it drip on him. That's why he's covered in mud. He intentionally covered himself in potentially carcinogenic mud. For the video.

Not only did they fake how hard it is, they're inexperienced, slow, and the performative video antics slowed them down even more than their inexperience does. They're literally getting paid less than the woman in the second tweet because they're paid per drill segment. "God I can feel my pulse rising just thinking about how slow they are moving." -local discord woman.

The entire video is "look at how sexy I look doing this job really badly."

I thought Casino Royale was decent, though it revolves around baccarat instead of poker, which as near as I can tell there's no actual strategy to.

Baccarat and Craps are great because they have the lowest house edge for games with no thinking required. Blackjack has a lower house edge, at good tables, if you memorize the perfect strategy for every single set of cards and play perfectly. Baccarat and Craps have like one good bet so just always make that one good bet and lose your money slower than on any other game.

They missed a prop and the mug from the good bar said 'blue as gently caress' so I guess they want to shame coffee drinking pussies

What is this idiot on about, both Slither and Super are loving great movies. And Peacemaker, while not on the list and a series, is also great.

And the latest army of the dead movie from Snyder was only good for hatewatching.

Apparently his sequence was a mid-credits skit? About a cartoon cat that's in love with his human owner and masturbates on camera a bunch and then tries to kill Elizabeth Banks?

When James Gunn wants to go full edgelord it's profoundly cringey.

That movie opens with a guy who has testicles on his chin, so I think he's just meeting the project at the producers' level.

Well he got his start at Troma, so that should kind of tell you where his mind can wander off to.

That list isn't even complete, they're forgetting both live action Scooby-Doo movies, which are better than anything Snyder has made.

To be fair I did enjoy 300 when it came out, when I was 17.

I think a decent compromise on immigration in Australia is to deport all the white people back to England and then deport all the English back to Germany.

Just to be on the safe side.

straight up played for laughs. Cos you see it's a women raping a man. So funny.

If you're counting movies he wrote, you can throw Snyder's Dawn of the Dead under Gunn too.
