I think that was actually the point of that movie. Like the only time he actually tries to do any detective work, it turns out to just be a sketch of a dude with a comically large boner.

I kinda thought the disjointed nature was part of it, sending him through different social strata. Maybe I've watched it too many times while zooted, idk.

Same. I mean, it wasn't a bad movie, but I didn't walk out of the movie theater and think about it a lot after, either. Even though it's supposed to be a movie you think about. I like all sorts of foreign films, so it's not that.

You asked for sources, I them to you, lmao. Also, I don't give a shit about Japan. I live in the US, which is why we've been talking about the US. Did you hit your head recently?

Well, as long as it's not ridiculously contagious, we can have a little measles in our religious enclaves.

This is from Wikipedia, but the only other instances I could find were clearly biased sources, like the Cato.

There's actually a few that do break almost even, I didn't think any did.

As to what your point is, I have no idea, and don't care. My initial comment pointed out that conflating public transport with the tax sources for roads isn't the ven close. I was correct, as pointed to your sources, and now my own.

Those numbers absolutely don't back your point. Most of those states provide greater than 50% of the revenue for their roads from local sources, whereas public transport is less than 50% in most cases. None of them get close to funding themselves.

I'd be very curious to see where you pulled those numbers.

Like the great warrior philosopher Wesley Snipes once said, "Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill."

The Cubans that left often had gotten their shit taken by the Cuban government. It's actually why you see Cuban cigar brands, and then the same brand, but a different manufacturer that's NOT Cuban on the American market. A lot of those families had their farms and marques taken by the Cuban government, who still uses them today.

Most of those families that left sold their marques to large corporations, that manufacture them today. It's also why those cigars are almost universally terrible. They trade off the name.

All that to say, a lot of former Cubans want to see the Cuban government suffer for things like that. It's the one I know of specifically, but there were more. I couldn't say if they have a, "King in Waiting" mindset about it, with regard to their eventual possible return to Cuba, but thats the gist I get from my times interacting with them.

I was a big fan as a child, but I haven't re-read them in about 15 years or so, since Sanderson finished it. Whenever that was.

It's not at all well paced. That's some fandom cope if I've ever heard it, good lord.

I can tell you 100% that I don't plan on reading it again. It's not worth it.

The author's story was also pretty terrible. I re-read it again last year, and man does it drag. You could most likely cut it in half and make a better series.
