There are no applicable laws that I know about, and as a voice actor I am similarly concerned. There is a lot of focus on this in the industry atm, but we all know how glacially slow government moves. SAG-AFTRA and NAVA have this as a focus currently, and I’m watching with interest.

The Watchmen. Everyone thought Ozymandias was the supreme evil but what he did ultimately saved billions of lives.

Yeah I loved the effects and the cinematography, I mean that’s what makes new movies fantastic… it’s a showcase of how real we can get things to look.

But the books were filled from cover to cover with worldbuilding that’s a whole lot more than vistas. There’s reasons and motivations that lead you to where the story begins and a failure to grasp at least some of those (Butlerian Jihad, Bene Gesserit, Guild Navigators and ofc the SPICE) leaves you with what @reddig33 said.

But the new movies seem very sterile, slow, and dull.

They are rote action movies that fail to evoke any real emotion, and that’s a shame.

My understanding is a number of Palestinians gathered over the rumors of aid being delivered. The IDF got nervous seeing so many in one location and shot the crowd. Numbers from yesterday were over 100 dead and 700+ wounded.

And these are the type of people we’re trusting on more than just airplanes. This report should hit the desk of NASA like an anvil. Artemis depends on it.

Yeah if you watch the site for sales the Aeron can get decently cheap. Plus, consider that these chairs have a 10 year warranty, unlike the ones you pick up at an office supply store.

The Aeron really changed everything for me.

Don’t discount the fact that Israel supported us in every way when 9/11 happened. I firmly believe every favor is being called in at this point.

I suppose anyone that has any criticism whatsoever of Israel in any form is persona non grata these days.

The fact that Israel has put so much effort into changing US law to prevent anyone from claiming anything negative about Israel is a red flag that Israel needs negative things said.

I fully support the state of Israel and believe that the holocaust happened, and I will STILL call an asshat an asshat. Tough shit. Guess I’ll cancel any vacation plans I ever planned in their country.

Thankfully there are alternatives out there, and we should be using them.

They don’t. The message right now is to boycott Spotify.

From what I’ve seen on Lemmy at least, nobody really cared that she was attending but we had full popcorn bowls to watch the rest of the world lose their shit about it.

Heheh…I hate to break it to you, but it’s not just old people who have nothing better to do than shit out racism misogyny and bile.

And I think this is how every new tech goes. I mean, the community here still seems much more civil because we’re smaller in number.

My grandmother told me that if she could offer me one piece of advice it would be to stop worrying about the world, stop worrying about the future. If your thoughts are always there, they’re never here and you just wake up one morning realizing how much time has disappeared.

She told me to just enjoy my life, every moment.

Totally agree. I’m not sure why everyone focuses so hard on determining how many letters there are in their alphabet. 5 years from now it might be totally diff. It would be so refreshing if people simply said “Here’s what floats my boat today”

The end solution is still the same. If we stop buying it, McDonald’s stops ordering it which gives the production companies shockedpikatcu.gif

It’s gotta start somewhere.

This is the way. If you can’t find a way into a company you know you want to work for, start in Support. Shine, and move up and out.

You mean except for aid to Ukraine, which is desperately needed like, yesterday?

No man, credits to bulwark the insane rents people are charging will only cement the practice. Why does it take 3x your income to qualify to rent a place? Why haven’t corporations and foreign investors been moved out of the single family home industry? Why hasn’t a cap been put on Air Bnb and other short term rentals? How about changing the regulations to allow zoning changes which can allow more homes on existing lots?

The government, as usual, simply doesn’t understand the problem! So frustrating.

The ‘fun’ adjective means everyone’s answers will be different! For me, exercising is good even if many times it ends up being a VR adventure or workout.

I enjoy growing a small garden! You might not xD

Pick up some acting classes and volunteer down at the local theatre to learn more about yourself, your expression to others, learn the intricacies of a great classic story and make new friends!

Really, just pick something and go to the moon with it

I mean, if there hadn’t been settled lawsuits that proved the damage, maybe?

Look, regardless of what you personally think of Monsanto, every American has bought things that were defective or harmful in the past and presented the same argument when looking for a refund.

Caveat emptor is what we’re told. Buyer beware. Do your due diligence. Bayer didn’t go into this blind and I’m just curious why they should be any different than we are. Corporations are people, right?
