Yeah, so I bought The Nightingale (2019) recently, second hand. I paid £6 for it which was probably too much. But it was the only way I could get a copy. I suspected that this was a great film and was willing to pay over the odds for it.
I saw the film, and I wasn't disappointed. Spoilers from this point on - anyone of a sensitive disposition shouldn't really watch this film. To anyone else, please watch this film now if you don't want it spoiled for you.
The film was very powerful, but very brutal to watch. Some scenes were excruciating to sit through. But, that's exactly what writer/director Jennifer Kent intended, I think.
The film is about a young Irish convict in Tasmania - Clare - who has everything taken away from her by a trio of British soldiers. She teams up with an Aboriginal tracker, Billy, to find the soldiers and get revenge. That's the story, in a nutshell.
There are multiple rape scenes and several scenes of people (including a baby) being killed. However, the scenes aren't shot gratuitously. They're important to the plot.
The scene that really got under my skin didn't even show violence, but the violence was implied. It forced my mind to go to a very dark place. I'm speaking of the moment where a white settler, having just shot his Aboriginal slave, pulls out a knife and says he wants a trophy. You don't actually see the beheading but it nearly freaked me out.
This movie is fantastic. The violence and language are off the charts and it was difficult to sit through but it was also very well made, with great acting - particularly from Aisling Franciosi, the actor who plays Clare. Her performance was Oscar-worthy.
Remember this name: Jennifer Kent. She will go down in history as one of the greatest film makers of all time.

Was It Designed? (My head hurts)
by Cadellin ini know i shouldn't--i tell myself this over and over--but i can't help peeking at these silly articles.
and then i see this and my head really starts hurting: so the gannet, if you don't know (and why would you?
) is a seabird that feeds on fish.

Was It Designed?
The Great White has sharp, triangular teeth and strong jaws, perfect for biting huge chunks out of seals and other large sea creatures.
The Great White, an efficient swimmer, swims up behind the seal and takes a huge bite out of the seal's hind flippers (the pair that it uses to swim with). The immobilised seal loses much blood and goes into shock.
Feeding in this manner can mean that some of the shark's teeth fall out. This is no problem because it has rows of teeth growing behind the current row in use, like a conveyor belt.
The shark waits for the seal to die from blood loss, then comes back to feed at its leisure.
How could all this happen from blind chance?
What an amazing creature the Great White is!
What do you think? Did the Great White's feeding ability evolve? Or was it designed? ;)

What defines a "Woman of Color" in Today's World?
by RubaDub inwe hear daily "a woman or color".
one person here mentioned that nikki haley (parents are from india) is a woman of color.. what defines "woman of color?

White = European, or European descent.
Person of color = someone who is non-white. It could be an African guy, a mixed-race person, an Indian, a Chinese person, an Arab, an Abbo, etc.

The Divided States of America
by Victor inthe fault lines that have always existed in america were laid bare with the current multiple crises facing our nation.
this explains in part the polarizing tribalism that cannot get the horse back in the barn of decency and common sense.

It's not just in the US, society is divided in Canada, UK and Australia.
There is a culture war going on in the West.
Cultural Marxists wish to drastically change society (Feminists: 'let's smash The Patriarchy!'; trans activists: 'men who say that they're women can use ladies bathrooms'). Sadly, although being a minority, they have infected all sections of society.
Hopefully, the common sense of the majority will win out.

2 + 2 = 5?! lol
by LoveUniHateExams ininteresting video from carl benjamin.. apparently, some philosopher is arguing that 2 + 2 doesn't always = 4; sometimes it equals 5.. this is madness, utter madness.
i'm a scientist; objective reality does exist.
the existence of gravity isn't up for debate.

The french language is very strict about this. There is no " it" - that's right, a voiture (car) is referred to as elle (she) and a chien (dog) is referred to as il (he).
Arabic goes even further. You is divided up into five pronouns:
anta - you (singular, masculine)
anti - you (singular, feminine)
antum - you (plural, masculine)
antunna - you (plural, feminine)
antumaa - you two
And they has three pronouns:
hum - they (masculine)
hunna - they (feminine)
humaa - them two
I like Arabic because it reinforces the gender binary. ;)

This is madness, utter madness. I'm a scientist; objective reality does exist. The existence of gravity isn't up for debate. If you disagree, go and jump off Beachy Head.
Two plus two never equals five; two plus two can only equal four.
The number two isn't a variable - it's a constant. Two is always one plus one, no more no less.
Postmodernism is a mind virus which erodes people's ability to think and reason. It should always be exposed for the trash it is.

Are You Afraid of Contracting The Covid Virus?
by minimus inthankfully my best friend who got this terrible malady is doing well after being in the hospital for more than two months!
i see some people who are still petrified over this virus.
they are still virtual prisoners in their own homes.

No, I'm not afraid of contracting covid. I wash my hands frequently and wear a washable face mask in supermarkets.
Here in the UK, lockdown has f**ked the economy.
We need to get children back to school next month, and sack any teachers who refuse to do their job.
NHS staff have been brilliant throughout the crisis. However, they don't deserve a pay rise because of the huge losses of hours and jobs in the private sector (NHS staff work in the public sector).
Life is never risk-free. We don't ban cars and buses because some people die in road accidents.
We must get back to some kind of normality.

Using gods name
by Gorbatchov ini've never thought about it before, but isn't it some sort of blasphemy and extremism to use a god's name in the official name of your religion?.
g..

I'm not sure it's blasphemy.
Extremism? - yeah, maybe.
JWs always shove God's name down people's throats, and they're extremist in some ways.
