What value would there be in life, if we are not together?

Harvard's best kept secret.

You can get a Harvard level education, access to their networking opportunities and their brand prestige even if you didn't have a 5.2 GPA since preschool.

All you have to do is take 3 courses in person at Harvard and earn at least a B in each. That's it. That's the test to get in. No submissions of essays, teacher recommendations, high school transcripts, or ACT/SAT scores required.

Anyone can enroll at any time. How hard the classes are depends on your own scholastic abilities and pre-requisite knowledge. AKA study your makeup off until you're sure you're ready to be a Harvard student.

If you want to attend an Ivy league school regardless of your socioeconomic standing or past academic history look into Harvard Extension school.

the notes vs. 

The premise is that the park believes audiences no longer find the standard dinosaurs exciting enough to stay profitable, and rather than like…reevaluating the purpose of the parks, they just make bigger and more wildly implausible dinosaurs to ramp up profit, and that leads to a disaster because it is a monsterous wreck that never should have been created.

For zoos, you don’t need to have continuous profit. Zoos get a lot of their operating costs from donations, grant research, sometimes even public funds, in addition to admission and gift shops and concessions. A truly good zoo is like a museum, a research and rehabilitation facility, and an educational space.

A theme park is not. A theme park is all about profit. It’s all about thrill. It’s all about vacation packages and stock holders. And theme parks need to keep ramping things up with new attractions and new stuff to do to keep investment and attendance high.

Jurassic Park is a theme park. In the first movie, it’s not the SCIENCE that makes things go bad, it’s the capitalism; it’s Nedry, discontent with not getting paid enough, manipulating weaknesses in park security, selling the Dino embryos to a rival and the cascade of failures that had been overlooked because none of the people involved in this project had ever run *a zoo.* (it isn’t hard to design an enclosure for a large carnivore that doesn’t immediate fail during a power outage…)

In Jurrasic World, this is the same outlook. It’s not a zoo that has research and education grants keeping it going. It’s a theme park that needs to make a profit. A theme park needs a new roller coaster each year, a new show, a new thrill. You have to keep making your theme park more and more extreme.

That premise makes sense. The fact that World, as a movie, is just so bad, so over the top and nonsensical for the sake of ramping up the excitement and action to all new, even more extreme levels because they think that’s what we as an audience want for the movie to be profitable.

angelina has maintained this entire time that all she cares about is the safety of her children

their oldest child maddox literally refuses to speak to brad

angelina has also said that she was deeply uncomfortable with brad because he chose to continue working with harvey weinstein after weinstein assaulted angelina. brad knew this but still worked with him anyway

when they divorced, the court ruled that angelina was allowed to sell her share of the vineyard she and brad co-own, and she offered to sell her share TO BRAD but he declined, so she sold to a company called stoli. stoli is now suing brad for mismanaging funds, so he’s suing angelina as a big distraction and because he thinks this will get her shares back to him, if he can prove she “lied” to destroy his reputation

brad is also lying and saying stoli is pro-russia, but the owner is a huge putin critic and has been for over 20 years. the owner is even banned from entering russia because of all their criticism of putin, but brad is lying to destroy this person’s reputation too
