If people want to give him money that's their problem. It is absolutely bizarre what people will value these days, but we also live in a society where the concept of money is being more and more abstracted from what actually creates value in the economy anyway. Like I think people forget the basic idea that farms and mines are the underpinning of all economies, all they think about is digital revenues and service-oriented occupations.

Ok so i installed flash a few days ago, and my friend gave me an actionscript to use to make flashes but its not working. Is my script not detailed enough? Do i need better stage directions? Can anyone help me?

setMovietitle (Tanks on Rampage);
TotalFrames (540);

setscript "Green Tank rolling over a school bus, a bus driver named Otto jumps out of it and begins climbing the tank, he jumps inside and knocks the guy out and begins driving the tank into the sunset";

startAnimation;

gotoAndPlay(1);

i want this goddamn truck

currently thinking about the Bond henchman from Casino Royale who I guess they were too embarrassed to just give an eyepatch so they did something silly

[Slurpee]

I am researching the silly eyepatch man
his name is Adolph Gettler, played by actor Richard Sammel, and the Bond wiki does not mention his mysterious half-glasses

[Slurpee]

he is based on a character from the book whose real name is unknown but presents himself as a salesman named Adolph Gettler
troublingly, the wiki describes him as "identifiable by his glass eye patch, screwed in like a monocle"
idk what that means but it suggests the goofy half-sunglasses might have been done to be accurate to the book, making it not as funny

[Slurpee]

I am currently trying to find a text copy of the Casino Royale book

[Slurpee]

EON might have a pretty tight lid on it, the first page of results all seem like opportunities to buy the book, which I am absolutely not going to do

[Slurpee]

I found a poster they're selling where the image of the poster is made up of the entire text of the book
I am going to copy some of the text into google and see if anything comes up

[Slurpee]

it turned up a copy on archive.org

control-F seems to be finding the name Adolph but is not scrolling to the right part of the text, I have to manually scroll siiiiiiggggghhhhhhh

[Slurpee]

wow the thing in the movie where le chiffre just hits James Bond in the balls over and over again is actually in the book lmao

[Slurpee]

chapter 25 is called "black patch" if this isn't it I am going to be furious

[Slurpee]

When the man had turned his face towards them,
Bond noticed that he had a black patch over one eye. It
was not tied with a tape across, the eye, but screwed in
like a monocle.

????

[Slurpee]

okay so I guess when he says "screwed in" he means like when british people say "screw up your face" and he just means lowering your eyebrow and raising your cheek? maybe?
otherwise idk, monocles are definitely not screwed into the face with screws, I am pretty sure

[Slurpee]

wow the book doesn't even have an ending action sequence, it's the fucking end of Snake Eater lmao
Vesper is Eva, and she's a Russian agent instead of Chinese, but she writes him a letter and kills herself and Bond cries and that's basically it

the eyepatch man does not come back to get killed like in the movie

but a line from a waiter said it's probably hard keeping the patch in all day and I'm going to take that to mean it was basically just a blackened out monocle
I am not sure if this is cooler or lamer than the half-glasses or a regular eyepatch I am now in too deep to have a superficial opinion

[Slurpee]

a search for monocle eyepatch just brings up a bunch of steampunk bullshit, but our scientists came up with a mock-up of what it might look like
