Id say they'll be pretty safe out of the fridge, but if you keep them in the fridge they might stay firmer longer. Like more bite. They might go mushy in the cupboard.

I learned that the oxygen around the earth is about as thick as a coat of paint on a pool ball, relatively.

I'm not sure how accurate that is.

That movie is such a gem, must be due a rewatch!

I guess the difference for me is you don't really watch Fight Club for the spectacle of the fight scenes, like you would in The Matrix or Die Hard. Yeah it's got fighting in it but the action isn't really the point of the movie, it's about the growth of the fight club and relationship between the 3 main characters.

Fight Club and Blade Runner I wouldn't really consider as action movies at all. You'd may as well put the Princess Bride in there if you're playing that fast and loose with the genre.

The Raid definitely deserves a place. Id put Death Proof in there too, because I don't think it's all that well known.

I see what you're saying, the tokens represent access to a finite amount of resources and creating more tokens won't create more resources. I get that.

But if the problem isn't with the amount of resources but with their distribution, then redistributing the existing tokens out of the hands of the greedy hoarders must help the rest, mustn't it?

Edit: I can't believe I'm sitting here arguing with someone on the goddamn Internet. Must be out of my damn mind

Ok but the way I see it there are 100 people and 1000 tokens. Instead of every person getting 10 tokens, one guy has 998 tokens and everyone else argues over the remaining 2. Would killing the one rich guy not free up some tokens for the rest of us?

Imagine being so naive as to believe massive wealth hording deprived others! What turkeys! Amirite?

I'm from New Zealand and my mother still brings this up every time France is mentioned in any context.
