The “best” way is to prep them before it happens and explain what’s coming

People in different stages of life like that generally don’t have a ton to relate on. Can it work? Sure. Does it usually work long term? Nah

Let me guess, he thinks/says “But those are different than all the others!!!”

Or y’know, maybe they are pretty representative of the people who comes here like that

Do you really think most racist people would say “fuck yeah, a Black person died!”? Racism in contemporary society is largely covert and not explicit.

In terms of your class question, most people who are “CEOs” are not in charge of billion-dollar corporations. They have a small company where they are on a first name basis with everyone

Who is “we”?

In the US, elections are locally run.

Oh I thought it was the factually misleading statements about black people that was racist.

For the record, you are wrong

Nothing. That’s not how alcoholism works.

Looks sketchy but it’s honestly some of the best fakes I’ve bought.

That’s because in those cases the FDIC receives the assets from the bank and distributes those. If they didn’t receive enough funds, individual depositors would not receive extra coverage from the FDIC

A quick google search showed that this happens to about 6% of accounts over the insured limit

Meanwhile everyone back at HQ is radioing and asking “did you get him? Why is there 20 minutes of silence?”

People can think. I can’t imagine how this works when you’re being backed up by dozens of people

Probably a trope. Low level cops don’t just stumble on kingpins. It take a large, coordinated investigation. You can’t just pay off the arresting officer, you’d need to pay off dozens at a minimum. And someone would say something. Maybe not to their boss, but at a bar, etc.

It’s not. It’s off topic and should be deleted

Am I being trolled or do people not know how years work

Unpaid time off sucks, I’ve been there too. The American economic system feels designed as if everyone has a full time job with benefits.

In my life, I’ve held an array of jobs. Sometimes I’d just be off randomly on a Friday (because I’d have to work all weekend).

Some people in this economy are struggling to find full time/permanent jobs, so they can spare time to protest.

Speaking from my current situation, I have a bank of time I could pull from if I wanted to take time off. Many people can easily fake saying they are sick to get time off on short notice. Some people probably have cool bosses who will let them request vacation at the last minute. There’s a million possible scenarios.

Oh boy. I just reread your edited comments. It’s hard to keep up when you edit like that

But yes, I would still care to hear your 40s and 50s examples. If you have one where overture+credits approaches 10 minutes, I’d be shocked. As we’ve discussed, some examples in the 60s can hit 5 minutes, but that’s about the most I’ve seen

Which Lawrence of Arabia version from the 40s or 50s (your words) are you referring to?

If you mean the famous 60s film…. Yes, it has a minute of credits and another 4 or 5 for the overture. Not credits.

Again, still looking for examples of extended credit sequences. Overtures are basically the same as intermissions. That’s a totally different beast.

Even if you want to lump them together, we’re still at the “one or two” I mentioned. Huge Hollywood blockbusters. Exceedingly rare.

Why do people keep naming 60s films with 4 minutes of musical intros when I’m asking for 40s and 50s films with 10 minute credit intros lol?

Edit: overture is the word I was looking for, not “musical intro”. But that’s not a thing that happened in early cinema (barring Chaplin, who had strict control of scores - would be interested if someone else cares to google that)

4 minutes. That’s a great example of the rare symphonic opening I was referencing.

But that’s also not the 40s or 50s.
