Rainbow capitalism at its finest. My girlfriend showed me a clip from an interview with the writers behind The Acolyte saying it’ll be the gayest star wars ever. The shows not over yet so they might be right but so far they had a lesbian couple and couldn’t manage so much as a peck.
It’s not critical to the plot or anything but it demonstrates that there’s some really simple lines Disney still won’t cross when it comes to LGBT representation.
I feel so bad for the cast that gave it their all and performed well in a film that sound up being so shit. Frankly the crew too. Imagine living the dream being a camera operator on Star Wars and even though your work is exceptional, the film sucked.
Breaks my heart.
There’s a really good moment in “The Solitary Clone” in the Bad Batch where Cody and his squad reassure a separatist child that they’re here to help before the child’s mother pulls him inside and shuts the door. To me it really illustrates how to the average separatist the republic was always a kind of oppressive empire.
The reason why restaurant tipping is usually percentage based is because the level of service expected scales with the price of the items on the menu. The expectations on servers in fine-dining is a lot higher than a neighbourhood pub and so is the price.
If it’s a subjective matter then no. Like if you thought Blade Runner sucked I might disagree with your opinion but respect that it’s a matter of taste and so I won’t recommend you see the sequel.
If you’re just using “opinion” as a shield for something objective then yes I will. And I will laugh at you for thinking the sky is falling is a matter of opinion.
Oh no I’m literally just talking about when I go to stow my suitcase and some goober with 3 suitcases has filled his entire row and is now cramping mine. You’re not special. Check your damn luggage and wait on the carousel like the rest of us!
Both. Both is good.
People who use up more than their third of the locker, forcing others out of their own space are subhuman.
That would be Space Pirate Hondo Onaka
Not sure about food but for liquor it’s 5x. Triple might be right for food as at least for bars it’s a loss leader.
Hate to tell you this but in case you thought cancel culture was a recent phenomenon: Richard Pryor (the co-star of Blazing Saddles) was arrested for foul-language during his stand-up routine the same year Blazing Saddles came out.
Yeah I saw the Will Smith movie. Basically the same right? Probably.
Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri would vocalise “Please don’t go. The drones will miss you. They look up to you” when you go to quit.
What about the Harvey Birdman episode where Shaggy is on trial for driving high?
Plex is definitely more user friendly. I would like to try Jellyfin again but I host Plex for my parents back home and I don’t want to troubleshoot Jellyfin internationally when I know they can just install Plex and log in on their devices and I don’t have to deal with it.
Definitely different strokes for different folks but I understand Lemmy is very big on FOSS so it’s no surprise Jellyfin has such a positive following here.
Ultimately I’m glad to have options regardless.
All the commenters here complaining but have you guys used Google assistant in recent months? It’s absolutely fucking useless.
If this piece of shit can at least field a simple request without responding with “sorry I don’t understand” then it’s at least a step up. The bar is so very low here.
Hot take:
Piracy is virtually always justified. By pirating you are simply opting out of transferring wealth from consumer to big business which could be seen as a redistribution of wealth (however small) from rich to poor.
Exceptions would be indie Devs or filmmakers for which you would have more disposable income to support if you saved your money by pirating big budget films/games/software.
So what’s the problem with piracy then? I’m still supporting them but I’m saving money in the process. Win/win. What a world!
These little epiphanies are always fun. Like when you realise how many maths and astronomy terms are just romanised Arabic words like Algebra and Algorithm.
Another fun one that I wasn’t smart enough to notice on my own is that the Hindu-Arabic numerals have the same number of angles in the symbols as the number they represent.
Pizza is always fucking insanely overpriced. I feel like this wasn’t always the case…
