I am going to be controversial here I think.

Nope, couldn't agree more. If women choose to wear a hijab, fair play. But nobody should face persucution for what they choose to wear. You'd think that was plain and simple in today's world.

For me the problem's not even that it's a convoluted mess, but more that the core conflict is never given any detail, so by the end I still didn't know what the film was about or why anyone was doing anything.

Affirmative.

A few recent watches; Tenet - As someone that really likes time travel / time displacement / time manipulation fiction, this was a dismal disappointment.

I've never been in real, desperate poverty, but I did spent about a decade after uni diving in and out of my overdraft (sometimes even hitting the limit)...

Mandatory box-ticker training courses, so an employer can claim they've trained their employees on things like diversity, anti-bribery, security, etc. We have a series of these which we have to repeat annually. Today it was workstation safety. I've learned that I should keep good posture while pregn...

Sadly the stream is no longer on Twitch.

Yep, seems to be about once a month now.

This strikes me as the sort of trickle-down economics where the rich drink champagne and then piss all over the poor.
