Holy fuck i was just about to message you.

Was it "his house" just finished..it.

Solid B film. Tell me what you think...the film is obviously about a lot more than what is shown

Yeah, that's the one. I assume it's about refugees being haunted by their past and that haunting being intensified by their being unwelcome in their new country, particularly since they are often resettled in lower income, socially non-liberal areas.

It reminded me of refugee resettlement in St. Louis. St. Louis welcomed refugees in 2014-forward, as the city needs new residents and refugee resettlement from Bosnia was a huge boon for the city in the 1990s. But the Syrian War-era refugees were settled in North City, which is....frankly unbelievable to most anyone that hasn't seen it. Dilapidated everything, boarded windows, broken windows and sidewalks, bedbugs and roach infestations. Very, very, horrifically shabby. Some of the neighborhoods have median household incomes of just over $10k.

Apparently still shocked by the violence they've witnessed in north city, the group ticks off a list of what they've experienced collectively at the Garden Apartments in the last two years: the beating of their teenagers, a holdup at gunpoint, two cars smashed in by baseball bats, a chilling attempted kidnapping of one of their daughters, a rock thrown through their living-room window, kids hit with baseball bats, a stolen bicycle, a man creeping around with a stocking mask on (two weeks ago), men breaking into their living room wielding a Taser (one week ago). The wives stay awake until their husbands get home, sometimes as late as 2 a.m. They've called 911 so many times that dispatch provided them with a special number to call.

Then there are the living conditions themselves. A roach crawls across the floor. Iman Alkrad, one of the Supper Club cooks, casually picks it up with a paper towel and kills it. Soon after, I spot another across the room, on the wall. Later, they show me a five-inch-by-ten-inch sticky trap plastered with fully 1,000 insects. They inform me that this trap is today's. As in only today's. Happily, winter put a break on the bed bug infestation that had attacked their children's legs. "When I leave, I'll only take our clothes and some kitchen tools," Iman Alkrad says.

"Everything else is going to waste," her husband Ammar says. "The roaches are inside the furniture."

Bryan Cranston talks about IMO the best scene from Breaking Bad. And my favorite season.

He’s right. Women think we’re retards and essentially stand naked at the beach with “F*** me!” Signs fighting to bring in guys that haven’t lost all their stones when it comes to dealing with women’s BS; even if it means hurting society and lowering quality of life, because our female rulers have “priorities.” Of course for social power they keep pushing the notion (and “allowing” men to exist who push the notion) that women are fragile flowers who never deserved to be put in check, but secretly they despise that notion.

That said I’ve slapped a woman 3 times in my entire life, and been slapped and hit literally over 15. You really try everything else, like Sean says.

There’s literally a famous Russian proverb that says “No matter how much a woman loves you, she’ll never respect you unless you slap her.”

I don’t know if that’s the case or if I agree with it, because a woman who doesn’t cheat, hit first, go way over the top with verbal abuse, or hurt children either physically or verbally might never deserve to get slapped.

Awesome dude. It's so much fun when you find that someone has answered exactly your question before. It's conversely excruciating when someone almost answers your question, but doesn't give you a useful result. Holy fuck that has happened to me so many times. I'm traumatized to the point where I won't believe in someone's method (different field) until I see how it works all the way down to the level of basic arithmetic.

Might as well completely ruin this place. Hey @SBJJ @ElKarlo how’s the investigation going?

Not getting flooded with reports from the thread anymore, so I assume nothing's going on.
Maybe they just don't know what to make of the fact that Guo Wengui's propaganda machine was discussing the story on September 28th.

Not watching the vid, but did you really post something from RT complaining about lack of journalistic integrity?
I might have a stroke from the irony if I watch that.

Attacking the ''media's'' credibility is one of those kernels of truth that somewhat tethers the rightist weltanschauung to reality.

At first, I assumed weltanschauung meant tiny dicks; then, I decided to look it up after all. Yes, I'm no stranger to that idea. But to quote RT on the subject of deteriorating journalistic integrity with any kind of sincere agreement you really have to be so totally lost in your confirmation bias that anything you post become totally worthless. Sorry, @skysolo
