Can you elaborate how and what actions will affect my feed? I don’t quite understand how this works without any login as I can’t vote or write comments. Also how do my subscriptions affect it if I’m logged in to an instance?
I do like it and would wish something like that as an app.
I want to add that the box office income is simply one of the only objective metrics to compare the success of films.
The first time I saw a bag like that, I was shocked as well. Seems like just the worst idea to use plastic to create tea bags. Turns out it is and they weren’t made out of plastic. It’s a starch based fiber that is biodegradable. I don’t think you could have plastic tea bags here in the EU in any case. I’d wager yours isn’t plastic either. Yeah, so you probably got mildly infuriated over nothing, just like I did the first time I saw one of these 🤷
The revolutionary part is -get this- to use the empty houses -you following?- to house the people who don’t have houses! Genius! We truly are living in the future!
I don’t think I posted Doctor Hackenstein here, yet. I’ve just recently rewatched it and it holds up. It’s actually pretty good for a B movie! Definitely one of my favorite B-movies. My absolute favorite is Burial Ground - The Nights of Terror, which I already posted here, though.
Big Trouble in Little China is definitely no B movie! That was a ~$20 million 20th Century Fox production. I don’t think Itchi the Killer qualifies either.
Story of Ricky on the other hand…*chef’s kiss*
“This is a free country, mate! We’re not in communist China now!” Calm down, mate. You’re in the UK.
But obviously, as insufferable as he is, that is his right. He probably was exactly the right person to really blow this all up. I doubt though that it will actually go anywhere.
The order and way actors appear in the credits is, as you alluded to, often part of the negotiations and contracts. Seems like these kids had better contacts than the others. That could be because they have more experience, their parts were supposed to be more prominent and changed (although I doubt that with these character names) or they simply had the better agent(s).
You can install a browser addon like “I don’t care about cookies” to automatically close these.
If your games are on steam, you’re already not owning them. The only difference seems to be that steam doesn’t demand a monthly subscription cost, yet
We already have game pass so it’s not like this is something completely new either.
If this makes money, other big publishers will join and in 10 years it’s the norm.
Personally, I’ll try my best to keep buying on GOG and itch.io where I get to actually own my games.
There are already a lot of good suggestions here!
I would add Eat the rich and The menu (not related) for movies criticizing the rich. Although the former just makes fun of them.
I would also argue for Andor even though it doesn’t focus on the super rich and instead on the rebellion and the people making up the cogs of the fascist imperium. It still shows the rich in a critical light. I haven’t seen any series that made me want to fight the system more than Andor.
There is a lot of confusion around anarchism, because it is a negative description: It’s a collective without leader, without governing institutions. It doesn’t say much about how this collective organizes instead. So you could call the chaotic state after a government coup Anarchy. But that isn’t what anarchists are talking about and I don’t think that is what OP meant either.
Anarchy as a deliberate system is when a group of people decides to work or live together without selecting a leader or any other form of government, instead resolving decisions that affect everyone together. In that sense it is not an interim state, a leadership-vacuum just waiting to be filled. Although of course Anarchy can transition into another system by various means, but so can every other system as well.
I think it is important to add that even though no system is perfect and every system has it’s pros and cons, that doesn’t make them equal. As soon as we define goals, for example equal rights, some systems will be better equipped at achieving those while others might be actively hostile to them.
That is a misconception. Anarchism is a equal distribution of power among all participants. This will not change “naturally”. It can be changed by either efforts from within to establish a single individual or group as a ruler over the rest, or by outside forces. Neither I would classify as happening just naturally.
In an anarchist society, that is a community without hierarchies and rulers, threats are handled by the community. So one person with a big stick would have to fight everyone else to establish their dominance.
Discovered them a few months ago, they’re really great!
Absolutely, here is the part for the lazy:
I should add that, for all her cheerleading of gen Z, Foster isn’t above being irritated by them. “They’re really annoying, especially in the workplace. They’re like, ‘Nah, I’m not feeling it today, I’m gonna come in at 10.30am.’ Or, like, in emails, I’ll tell them this is all grammatically incorrect, did you not check your spelling? And they’re like, ‘Why would I do that, isn’t that kind of limiting?’”
There are already a lot of good tips, I just want to add that telling people to calm down never works. They are upset for a reason, even if it’s a nonsensical one.
If you happen to become the lighting rod for someone else’s anger it helps to remind yourself that they are not actually upset with you personally. You just happen to be caught in it.
Sometimes it is possible to use empathy to align yourself with them by agreeing that this situation is upsetting, validating their feelings. In the end they will have to deal with their feelings, you can’t do that for them. All you can do is move out of the way and maybe redirect it. In this situation you could say: yes this sucks. I’m very sorry, I wish I could help you, but I will lose my job if I try. These regulations are there to protect our patients, but sometimes they get in the way. Unfortunately I cannot do anything about that. If I could I would.
In the end this might or might not work to redirect their anger. How they deal with their anger is out of your control. That also means it is not your responsibility and you don’t need to take it to heart personally.
They look like siblings
It’s a hyper loop!
