Sad days

Once upon a time in America 10/10 - Perfect in every way.

I never thought I would see a picture I would hold in the same reverence as the godfather. The cinematography, the pacing, the acting and the resonating scores that just won't leave your head after you hear them are all reminiscent of the perfection Francis Ford Coppola achieved with the two godfathers.

Unlike most gangster films, this movie depicts its characters from their adolescent years, you get to see the environment that shaped them into what they become and circumstances beyond their control that messes up their upbringings. It's about the characters, every one of them has a soul and could be felt throughout the film. It explores friendship and betrayal perfectly and doesn't shy away from violence and nudity while also portraying the objectification of woman (Feminists aren't going to like the women in this film) from the perspective of the characters it even goes as far as depicting rape in an explicit way.

I don't find the movie lacking in any way, 3 hrs 40 mins long and I already watched it 3 times and counting.

Rest in peace Ennio Morricone (1928 - 2020) A true legend.

As indicated by U.S Census Bureau, white individuals represent 76% of the american populace, while blacks contribute 13.4% of the populace.

The implication of this statistics is pretty straightforward; white people dwarf the blacks by the ratio of 6:1, and consequently, ought to contribute more deaths per year by the same proportion.

If 250 people out of a 13.4% black populace are killed in a year, wouldn't it be reasonable to surmise that 76% of white populace ought to contribute 250 x 6 deaths, instead of just 400?

I believe any reasonable person will agree that the number of people of colour murdered in a year by cops surpass the number of whites murdered in the same period.

A debt of gratitude is in order for accidentally/unwittingly proving that the systemic racism in America is real.

WHAT?! You didn't even have to pull this cheap arithmetic, overall, more blacks have been killed than whites, that should have been your argument.

Wonder woman 7.5/10

Borders between spectacular and generic, intriguing and underwhelming at the same time. Some aspects of it were done well, the casting was perfect and there was good chemistry between the leads, the story starts to falter during the end, it got rushed and made use of cheap misdirections.

My main gripe was with Ares, the guy is supposed to be the God of War! If you are going to introduce such a powerful villain that late in the story, you better make him leave a lasting impression.

No man's land scene 10/10 this scene was wholesome, deserving of a case study, nothing short of wonder and awe. Now I rest my case.

A web developer whose portfolio website isn't available, that one na developer

Hehehe! No mind me, jare!

Best move is to get your portfolio website up and running, optimize for local search, and run targeted social campaigns.

These moves will prove more effective in landing you jobs, with better pay of course, than all those platforms added together!

Well said. Every developer needs a good portfolio to display their work.

Ronaldo is the one behind that post, if you know you know.

All I can say is focus your energy on one platform and learn everything on that platform. I'll recommend Upwork though.

You recommending Upwork was funny to me because my credits on that platform finished without me getting a single job, I have no intention to renew.

Fiverr on the hand, although being the bottom feeder has seen me get about two gigs total. anytime I think of my freelancecapades I just laugh.
