"Only" $1.7million of taxpayer money utterly and corruptly wasted. Put it on the list, we're going to need it later.

Draining the swamp my ass.

$1.7m is nothing compared to $300,000.0m in Iranian reparations.

Put it on the list. It's accumulative, not comparative.

The no-bid contract to install a "Nano Bubble" filtration system went to Green Water Solutions, an Ohio-based company whose owner is listed on federal contracting documents as "JJ Cafaro Investment Trust." The president and CEO of that trust is identified as John J. Cafaro on Federal Election Commission filings.

Well there's your problem.

HOLY SHIT! He looks EXACTLY like you’d expect him to look like:

Like every year the same group of kids thwart his plan to ruin Christmas.

Now thats a face that wishes it were invited to the island.

He looks like the kind of guy that has 2 "bodyguards" with a heavy Boston accent that only refer to him as "boss"

And they're named Moe and Lester.

After showing my niece The Labyrinth, she declared she loved it. So I was thinking of my other childhood films that were fantasy.

And I came this close to showing her this one until I remembered the horse scene.

No. I will not traumatize her like that.

But another part of me thinks the trauma of 80s children films is part of what made so many great.

Idk.

Thoughts ?

To traumatize or not to traumatize ?

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 2 points 19 hours ago

It depends on how old she is, and how the traumatic stuff is dealt with in the movie. I read the book several times, but the movie left me reeling, it was so bad...

Basically I think even children's stories should contain adversities and how to overcome them. Even the death of a beloved.

The book I would always recommend for any children that are able to read it themselves.

The loss of Artax is gut wrenching and part of a huge tearjerker story

Great quality for a meme, reflections and all feathered in (helps the water is really the same color lol). I love how indifferent everyone is, too.
