  • I think Lashana Lynch killed her role (positive comment about her acting). I think the story was already facing an impossible climb in being adapted to the modern world.

    The original movie showed that aside from the Jackal being better than competent government agents, there were also practical logistical difficulties trying to find one unknown bad guy in a liberal world. And the internet basically solved all of these.

    • Magical anonymous internet chat that can be carried around on a USB stick. At a minimum that’s a reboot of the computer to run on the USB stick.
    • A wealthy person being traced with publicly available information because I guess they hid their money trail themselves instead of letting a professional handle it. That’s boots on the ground investigative reporters at a minimum looking for a single slip up.
    • So many burner phones.
    • Forged passports that don’t just trigger an alert when the person doesn’t exist on the passport database.











  • That’s not at all how it works. The rich already fear the poor. They won and yet are perpetually afraid all the time about the poor actually doing something about it. Source: all the journals from royalty to plantation owners.

    The elected politicians need to fear the poor. Start actually making life better for them so they can get elected. But the rich pulled out the “he useless priests, lets team up” card to practically nullify that.






















  • No longer letting my family member rants about [insert today’s Russian propaganda] go unchallenged.

    • Crime is going up. Oh no, can you show me a chart with a source? Can’t be just something you find on the internet (they’re always ranting that you can’t trust the internet).
    • You can’t trust the weather reports. They’re just using the internet to make all that stuff up. Explain how the internet allows for a 100 fold increase in sensors that can report back to a centralized meteorology facility for number crunching
    • Ukraine shot first Explain a timeline of the Ukraine war
    • Moon landing was faked. (I actually like this argument the best because it’s been so thoroughly debunked)
