Yeah, fair enough :(

We had one guy (Ricky Muir) in Aus who kind of got in accidentally, due to a weird quirk of the voting system that has since been fixed. He was an uneducated bogan, who was mostly just interested in hotted up cars. But he actually took the position seriously and reached out to experts for advice on topics he didn’t know much about. I didn’t agree with his take on a few things (from memory, this was a decade or so ago, I’m an anti-car lefty), but he honestly seemed like he was doing a pretty good job. Way better than 90% of the rest of the more career politicians.
Most people aren’t that dumb, given the resources…
They have some really nice mountains! (The one they haven’t carved the to off)
I wouldn’t class that as advertising… That’s just product info, so you know what you’re buying.
There are undoubtedly people beginning to say the same thing about supermarket checkout attendants now. That doesn’t seem like a good thing to me.
Up voting for your last paragraph. Totally agree. Lobbyists only interested in corporate profit are evil.
Advertisers. For-profit advertisers mostly. They intentionally skew people’s understanding of the world for the benefit (usually) of the rich.
Wow, interesting. I can tolerate a bit of gore reading (I think I just zone out on the worst of it). I don’t enjoy it in film at all.
I generally avoid horror films. There’s one that has stuck with me horribly, and I wish I’d never seen it (The Ruins). Didn’t enjoy some parts of Annihilation either.
Possible I’ve just never read any really bad scenes though…
Better a moderation system that has a few false positives than a system that allows nazi and fascist accounts to flourish.
Yeah, that’s a reasonable thing to do, for sure, but in general for introducing a new person to the disc world, I usually pick a book that aligns more with their interests
We’re all gonna die one day and we’re all full of micro plastic already anyway. Grab life by the hairy, pesticide soaked skin and sink your teeth in.
You can also rub the hairs off first, on your pants or whatever. The hairs are not terrible, but I’m not a huge fan.
Amélie is a great call. That music is timeless.
The Piano too?
Birdman. Just drums. Really fucking good drums. Also they appear in the middle of one scene in an excellent way.
Also: not a movie, but Cowboy Bebop. Lots and lots of great tracks.
How come?
I don’t think I’ve come across anything like this, will have a look, thanks
