Bit more serious than just a grab according to the witness, it was an outright full on violent assault. He grabbed his neck and then:

> “This grown man grabbed this kid by the back of the neck and slammed him into the gym wall.”

> “I have never screamed at a stranger so loudly in my life. He then slammed him into a set of metal double doors leading to the hallway, but didn’t push the bar to open the doors, so the kids head rammed into the doors first.”

> “Then he opened the doors and threw him out into the hall. People in the stands were shouting and I was standing in the middle of the mat screaming at him to stop and pointing to make sure people knew what to look at.”

I always mix up van Gogh and Picasso as far as when they lived and it makes me think Picasso was older than he is. It makes a little bit of sense. They were only born 28 years apart and both in the second half of the 1800s but Picasso was alive for 83 years after van Gogh's death.

No, that's not what this is. FedEx doesn't know what is in your box. ABC knows because they put it in the box. ABC is a drug wholesaler. They are meant to have an internal system monitoring if orders being placed for sensitive drugs are suspicious. Something like a pharmacy ordering a controlled substance more frequently or in higher quantities than would normally be expected. These should be flagged and reported. But as the article says: The lawsuit also alleged AmerisourceBergen intentionally altered its own internal monitoring system to limit the alert system.

Attributing it to the paper itself rather than a person usually means it is the official stance of the publication, not that someone is afraid to attach their name.

But I don't think it's that complicated here. There are loads of random articles on this site attributed like this. Ones which would have no implication where someone would get in any trouble.

While right in general, not really the case here. Keanu couldn't even make his own band famous or get a big label to sign them. Opening for Dogstar isn't really that big of a deal, hence why a band was able to do it in their first show. Bands established in the music scene were not opening for Dogstar. No one was bragging about being billed alongside Dogstar. Playing with Dogstar didn't mean you were connected or knew Keanu. They were not a big deal that bands were fighting to be billed with.

Weezer weren't signed until later and it was based off a demo that is really fucking good. They signed to a record label much bigger than any Dogstar was ever on based on the strength of that.

Maybe to charity in general but I kinda feel like to little kids knowing a big celebrity I liked bought presents for me would make it mean a lot more. Trying to think who I liked when I was these kids age but a gift in general and the same gift from a big celebrity? The one from the celebrity would have made me a lot happier.

Yes? Children who were her fans were killed or harmed by a bomb set off by a terrorist at her concert in Manchester. She didn't randomly choose that city. Celebrities are living quite different lives than us but I don't think the "being greatly saddened about children who look up to you being murdered at your concert" is something to think they're faking or they'd just forget about.

Do you only have conversations with the women who are pictured on your anime pillows or something? Or your own grandma? Holy fucking incel comment. Go talk to some real women. Also, some men. Rambo isn't what real men are like, anyone who isn't toxic expects to see everything you listed in a large percentage of men.

Are you also ignoring that so many of these "woke" films and movies are being written by actual women? And the idealized fetish version you're talking about was perpetuated when men were doing the writing?

Well, if you vote conservative because Nepal released a killer from prison, that's weird. Most of the world isn't Nepal. I'd go so far as to say that almost all of it isn't Nepal. I'm not sure why this should move the needle on who you vote for unless you live in Nepal. Biden didn't release him. Macron didn't. (Insert the leader of your country here) didn't release him.

France had to take him back because of laws about making someone stateless.

When? It should only be before certain episodes and only for their own shows. Unfortunately, no way to turn those off. The Premium is for ads that interrupt episodes.

If you're seeing ads during episodes, it's a glitch. Happened to me awhile back. They fixed it after a bit though.

It means nothing beyond the fact that they want that name to stand out. It's just something their agent negotiated that sets their name apart from other names that are credited. There isn't rules to it or anything. They asked for it and had enough pull to get it.

One case where it might sort of mean something though. Sometimes there will be multiple really big stars. Not everyone can have their name go first, so one of them will instead negotiate to get the final spot with the "and" since they can't get the first billing spot. That's more common in films though than shows.

I was just going to post about the change of address thing. I just did mine and the correspondence they sent was filled with flyers for holiday sales from a random assortment of big companies. Like 20 of them alongside the one single side printed sheet of paper I was actually looking for.

It's a different kind of example but The Other Side of the Wind by Orson Welles began filming in 1970. It only released in 2018, so 48 years. Welles never made a complete cut but he did edit quite a bit of it together and the rest was compiled together from the 96 total hours of footage Welles left behind, with his notes and some creativity. A few simple things were added but it's still 99% footage Welles shot in the 70s.

It's a very weird and experimental film, really cool cast, and I'm not sure if it is good or bad but the history of it made it worth watching. There's also a good documentary about the production, They'll Love Me When I'm Dead.

Actually, looking into it, two aren't. Carrero and McGhie both left. I think they literally just looked for the first sentence of people cast on wikipedia because it's the three in the picture. They didn't read two sentences further to two of those people leaving.

I was kind of wracking my brain trying to place two of them and yeah, I came up blank because they literally are not in it.

EDIT: They have changed the picture. I wonder if someone there saw this?

I saw the first 3 episodes (market research) and uhh...that guy isn't the lead. Chance Perdomo (not pictured) has the largest role out of Black men but the lead is a woman.

The picture at the top seems like they just might have thrown darts at names of people who were cast even without knowing what their role is.
