I thought giant squid couldn't survive at the surface?

Mr. Plinkett Talks About Rogue One
I felt like the movie was a bit of a structural mess.
So Cassian rescues Jyn so she can persuade Gerrera to hand over Bodhi so he can give her the message from her father who can tell them about the weakness in the death star.... that just feels like one step too many.
And what was with the Gerrera's weird mind squid thing? That scene felt completely unnecessary and was also the worst looking part of the movie (almost exactly like the tentacle ball things scene in TFA).
That said, the last third was great, and seeing the death star destroy part of a planet from the surface really brought home the horror of the weapon.
I'd put it very slightly behind TFA in terms of ranking it (Empire, New Hope, Jedi, TFA, Rogue One). While I admire that they tried something different and didn't just retread old plots like TFA, I just didn't enjoy it as much as TFA. The characters in TFA were just better and it was just more fun.

Understanding the Refugee Crisis in Europe and Syria
It's a discussion we've been having in this country for as long as I can remember and was one of the prime arguments made for a vast set of reforms a decade ago. And I still don't buy it.
At the very basic level, the argument is that a declining percentage of working age people have to pay for an increasing number of pensions. But that's only half the story. The working age population has to generate enough output to sustain not just themselves and retirees, but also children, the unemployed, the sick, anyone not working. A shrinking population means less children, and most importantly less unemployed. Increases in productivity are more than enough to compensate for that, no need to increase birth rates or immigration.
Germany is regularly paraded around as a country in dire need of immigration, given our low birth rate. Even if we ignore for a minute that any 50 year population forecast of the past has been invalidated after maybe 5 years, the "worst" they could conjure up was a decline in working age population of 34% by the year 2060. So what? That's 0.8% a year. And since it's based on a population decline of 20% over the same time, it's an annual drop of 0.2%. That's their worst case scenario, and it's statistical noise.
We've had a massive increase in average age over the last century as well as two world wars and our system managed just fine. And an annual drop of 0.2% is supposed to bring it to its knees? Pah.
Now, I'm all in favour of immigration, primarily to spice things up and prevent our society from becoming too homogeneous. But our pension system needs neither mass immigration nor an increased birth rate. What it needs is for politicians to stop funneling funds from our "PAYGO" system towards their buddies in the private sector. Current income = current payments, public system. Everything else is too volatile and susceptible to the Vampire Squids on Wall Street.
The irony is that many European countries stand to gain significantly in the long term from new migrants who tend to be young because of their ageing populations and need to sustain elderly pensions with working age income tax.
Divers Discover Blob
Going to go out on a limb here, big blob of fish semen/eggs from a mass spawning event...
https://www.rt.com/news/311103-divers-find-giant-blob/
Yup, squid eggs.
"Finally, a scientist from the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, Dr. Michael Vecchione, who saw the video, came up with a possible explanation of the underwater puzzle. Dr. Vecchione alleged that “the thing” is a huge squid egg mass, possibly the largest ever seen so far."
Sagemind, you are the first candidate for the biggest bukkake in history mate... ; )

Anita Sarkeesian: 'What I Couldn't Say'
@newtboy
Don't Reply. Just Read.
Thanks.
And thank you Squid! Very succinct.
Agree fully with genjikilpatrick. Sarkeesian is not right person to talk about this subject, a subject that is important and we are trying to do something about it. But as long as Anita is kept at as a postergirl of the movement, it ain't gonna be easy.
She has received threats but she has also fabricated some of those threats to suit the role she likes to play. Fabricated research, stolen media, money as a motivation, those are not the hallmarks of an honest person... The whole gamergate was a debacle, i don't at ALL respect the trolls and MRA actions but it is so bloody hard when i can't support the one person picked up by the media to represent the case. She is everywhere. I'm sure that in the circles that no nothing about games, her work is for the good as it raises awareness. But in the mean time, us in the game development do not trust her motives and methods and the "enemy" can shoot the whole movement down. We try to ignore her and continue the work towards more equal gender roles in gaming. And as a gamer try to do our best to keep the trolls at bay.
