Good illustration of the difference between beginners, intermediates and pros/experts. And it is vast.
In the film’s context, I prefer Anne’s and Heath’s version of the scene. It is integral to their already-revealed characters. Out of the context of the film, I think Nina’s and Logan’s (the non-Oscar pros) version is better as a disconnected scene.
To expand on and vulgarize the difference between the UHC CEO assassination and the Charlie Kirk one:
UHC CEO: 1-8-7 with no BiPap in your mouth, foo’.
Charlie Kirk: Biology is, like, real.
I do agree that political assassination and a wave of same is and would be bad, but there’s just no way to pretend those two people did equivalent harm. None at all.

UHC CEO murders: 200,000+
Charlie Kirk murders: 0
Big damn difference. So why is that disparity surprising? I barely know anything about Kirk, but he was not in the murder business even if I found most of his political views objectionable.

A lot of places outside of America are like that, especially in the less-developed world. It’s about who you know and if you can pay the bribe. We crossed the border from Kazakhstan to Uzbekistan back in ’97 because we had cash and someone knew someone, not because we had any documents (we did not).
We also had guns in our faces. I don’t think they would’ve shot us if we’d just turned around. But you never know.

The whole liberal “Being brutally murdered and/or set on fire is just part of big city life!” is really failing in spectacular ways. Amazing they keep on with it despite it being the worst possible message I can even think of.

Luckily he’s weak af. Look at those skinny-ass arms. He’s never seen the inside of a gym in his life. Which was a good thing for her.
Some people you should just be able to execute, though.
People incorrectly claim the degrowther movement has no political influence. In reality, though, degrowthers are everywhere. Most people in fact now are degrowth. We’ve collectively given up any vision of progress, of improvement, of collective organization to achieve societal benefits. It’s not the left or the right alone. Both sides are about making life worse in their own dipshitty ways.
If your energy use over time doesn’t look like China’s, you’re fucking up (and the US’s is about as depressing as the EU’s.):
Degrowthers are making everything worse. We should be building so much and burning up so much energy that the sun’s like, “Damn.” But no chance of that anytime soon as clowns are in charge of the circus.
