They are using YT shorts. The next video auto populates with something the algorithm thinks you’ll watch for 15 seconds and it’s usually correct. Its like a slot machine. Quick and easy entertainment that people can lose hours in

Yeah, they are not known for just letting go of someone for no reason. This guy must have been dusty balls useless

Theres only one person to blame and that’s the person who lit it on fire. It’s very convenient for no one except the ultra rich to have any agency in the world but it’s not how reality works

Except this arson wasn’t done by rich people. It was locals who want to use the land for farming cattle.

Absolving individuals for their behaviours is a great way to go nowhere. We all make choices

You are correct, unlike my autocorrect which decided it didn’t like the word ‘post’. Edited

Not just Mercury’s story. All those times the movie had Mercury spiraling into sex and drugs and the movie versions of May and the rest of the group were cuddling with their wives and girlfriends. You know, the way they were famous for doing.

Started this because I didn’t see it in theatres and can’t find the og discussion thread.

I finally watched Barbie after a full year of heavy PR campaigns to see the best movie of the year that was saving theatres and driving studios to go back to original IP for film ideas. And after all that my reaction is a solid…meh.

It was fine. I felt other movies have done the same themes but better and more cohesively. And I’m not sure what the final message of the movie even was. It felt like there was some boardroom interference in the final product because you could see the story aiming at something, then changing course before they got to a satisfying conclusion.

Acting and set design was good, it just overall felt like a miss that was made bigger by the giant campaign they launched to sell the movie as great.

You see it with everything from food quality, cigarettes, fuel. The standards set in the West prevent so much random shit we never acknowledge.

This behaviour isn’t because he’s famous it’s because he’s incredibly wealthy and no one has ever told him no.

DDG is my go-to, it’s normally good enough. Google used to be better at showing searches so I’d still go check out then if I couldn’t find something.

But since their ad strategy changed to favour paid suppliers and their servers are getting switched to handle heavier computing, Google is starting to suck now. So honestly its probable that you’ll need to work harder to find what you’re looking for regardless of which engine you use.

Right, you’re disputing it with your own personal experience. I can’t argue with that so I concede the point, no one has ever had it as bad as you. 30 years ago everyone could afford to heat their homes and go to the dentist and there were no migrants. This era is the dark recessed pit of humanity, woe to us who shall only ever see the shadow cast by the peaceful, prosperous generations who came before us!

The worst part about this trend of doomerism is how it feeds on it itself, denying all hope despite evidence to the contrary.

I guess the world really is ending then. No one in history has had it as bad as you, I’m so sorry.

They fact that there’s always been a lot of negative news and world ending crisises throughout history. Everyone always feels were in the end times but we keep making it through. Not only that, we consistently get through it and make things better in the process.

There are broken parts to the world but we are objectively better off now than at any other time in history.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by bad news, it’s time to adjust your news intake.

Ottawans are used to protests. It’s a capital city, there’s serveral protests going in any given day.

What they weren’t used to was the neverending train horns, the constant street blocking, the assaults, the destruction of property, and the constant threats. They lasted way longer than I would have.

Fuck the convoy and fuck the people like Poilievre who supported them.

Yeah the proposal is for all religious texts

Local anger then forgotten. No one would ever hear about it outside the few people who lived nearby

Cool. And what happens to the company? We can for sure just shut down all oil companies today, and what happens then?

People buy oil. They give these companies money because we want what they have. We need to change our behaviours or the polluting does not stop. It just means our money goes to a new oil company.

Who will you buy your oil from then?

We need to change the way we make energy. Killing oil companies is a secondary consequence of switching to renewables

Canadian conservatives saw how locked in American conservative voters are and said gotta get me some of that

Expect Poilievre to start raging about drag queens soon
