Well, they sort of have to be. They’re the janitors. Think Mr. Wolf from Pulp Fiction. They fix problems. Intelligence leaks, missing weapons of mass destruction, and almost certainly disposing of burnt assets.
Bond’s psychological profile deems him unfit for intelligence service - but that’s not his job. His job is to clean up whatever the intelligence service fucks up. In the beginning of Casino Royale it also states that you have to kill two targets - and as he says after shooting the guy “Yes. That was much easier.” (Or something like that). So he’s clearly fucked up at that point.
That’s kind of a common question amongst the short stories too.
The part that bothers me is that 007 is assigned to Nomi in No Time To Die. So it sort of makes me wonder why they would assign a different name to the same cover?
We do know that M was the same character in Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough, Die Another Day, Casino Royale, Quantum Solace, and Skyfall. So James Bond 007 is clearly a code name for that MI6 cleaner.
Idk. I think they just don’t explain it because they enjoy that little bit of stuff being confusing as covert stuff should be.
With a cabinet made of billionaires?
Yeah ok what else you want us to smoke
I say it every time this comes up, and it sparks anger, but the movie that did it was Civil War.
Iron Man flinches from a punch Cap throws. A human with peak capable strength does that to the same goddamn dude who took a fucking tank round and just had scorch marks on his armor.
Then in infinity war, the Two stone wielding Thanos frightens Hulk? Bullshit, get out of here. Hulk would have flattened him.
Plus you cannot tell me that Bond didn’t survive in that last movie.
It even says “James Bond Will Return” at the end. So like duh, he didn’t die
(I know but I really want to believe we’re not done with Daniel Craig as Bond)
With the exact same number of weapons and ammo. Stuff ain’t cheap or easy to come by, plus they can use rocks.
Know what?
I’m thinking you might be right. Walking that confidently? The show of police presence? The assuredness of the police? The publicly shared evidence? A guy that kinda fits the profile?
He’s also a smart dude. He sees this for what it is. He also probably understands that regardless of what happens, the public will probably obtain justice.
We’re all furious with the state of things. We’re furious over the lack of police accountability, the laws for the poor and not the elite. We’re furious that they can look at what health insurance can do to make profit, and let it be completely legal to let people die.
It doesn’t matter if he did or did not do the crime at this point. The elite showed their hand too early, the public is calling it. He’s probably scared shitless, but he knows. He knows that regardless of what the outcome is, the people have rallied to him. He knows they can’t risk making him a martyr, and an acquittal would be devastating. The entire Spirit of the Constitution (regardless of it’s interpretation by the Supreme Court) and the people is behind him.
He knows justice is coming.
Everything!
I wonder why
We really need to do something about him.
Any ideas?
He still thinks a trade deficit is bad.
Goddamn
That works too. It just needs to get caught in a single prop for it to go down
You know, there’s no reason we can’t have anti-drone fireworks.
They don’t really even need dangerous amounts of explosives, they just need a strong net to get caught in a prop.
Drones are pretty damn slow if you compare it to a rocket.
It’s the craziest part of quantum physics. “Why is this stuff having the observed behavior?”
Based on all evidence and theory, the answer is that it quite literally just does.
We got Mr. Really Fun At Parties here huh?
Never heard of Gallows Humor eh?
I’m so glad he pointed out the compiler optimizing the If statements. A lot of coworkers seem to forget that the compiler is doing a lot of that work for us now, and some of the code becomes unreadable as they try to make it “more efficient.”
Bro, stop, you can’t beat a machine at machine stuff
Is it a multi species pandemic yet? I missed 2020-2021 so bad. I loved not being around people.
Man, Mao’s policies got so many people killed that “only” 3-4m people died of famine.
He’s got an incredible kill count.
I believe the test was done off the East Coast of Africa. It was actually recorded on the nuclear detonation detection satellite. It may also have been a joint operation between South Africa and Israel.
If you have used Matlab, Or R, there is a huge range of data science that only really requires an undergrad in math. Hospitals that run their own Clinical Trials usually have a consistent need.
Really you’re eligible for anything statistics related, and there is a lot out there. Some job titles to look for:
