  • What's something you used to do/see/say but don't anymore because you don't feel it's right?

    Jump

  • I used to eat meat. Don't anymore because the arguments against it are just that fucking strong. Basically unless you advocate for religious supremacy it's hard to make a cohesive argument in favor of meat consumption.

  • OK... I mean if you don't understand the internet then there's not a lot I can do to help you.

    Jump

  • This is primarily meant for people to organize themselves online. Local networks already exist and those are the channels through which protests have traditionally gone. Organizing the internet tends to be a bit messier, but when it works it's usually via several "hubs" (think fucknestle, save3rdpartyapps, etc.).

  • One of Reddit’s biggest communities is suggesting users move to Discord

    Jump

  • I would disagree on the grounds that this will functionally just break up the community, which is the best outcome. People will get bored and move on to the next thing, and both reddit and discord will lose.

  • Hollywood Shuts Down After 160,000 Actors Walk Off the Set

    Jump

  • The big name movies now are so cringeworthy and require zero thought on the part of the viewer. I'd be almost embarrassed to go watch them. The worst part is that I used to watch them because there was just nothing else to see, until one day I was so bored that I walked out of the theatre. To my surprise, I was even approached and given a refund by the manager without asking... maybe they watched it too and understood the pain.

  • But are those the things that get marketing? I'm with you on loving that content, but none of the main theatres in my area (a city of 7 million) even show them. A couple will put them into the standard screen theatres at oddball times to fulfill their contracts, but the good content is in the local dollar theatres where, of course, the movie gets less traffic.

    I think what they're saying is that the movies that you're "supposed" to watch are things like those god awful Harry Potter prequels (literally any fanfic amateur could have written them better), the ten thousandth Marvel movie (seriously, just stop), or those Adam-Sandler style low effort white trash movies that run solely on the recognition of the probably male and supposedly "so talented" lead actor.

  • They're fighting a losing battle, but I hope a side effect of it is that new people come in and change both the economics and artistry of Hollywood. Most Hollywood content sits in a very rigid box. It's repetitive, unoriginal, and unappealing. People are encouraged to eat ramen for every meal in order to "make it", simply because far too many of them try (which is partially the result of the "follow your dreams" narrative in America as well). The further down you are, the worse your compensation. Good ideas get missed or thrown out and relegated to dollar theatres all the time.

    If this strike goes on long enough that it starts to flush people out, I'm ok with that. Sucks for the people who are going to lose their livelihoods, but for some of them that was an eventuality. Hopefully in the end creators will have more creative freedom and receive more proportional compensation.

  • What's something you'd change in men's fashion, given the chance?

    Jump

  • Can we also do this for women?

    Jump

  • I'd have men wear more turtlenecks, and tighter jeans. Doesn't need to be TIGHT, just not the insanely baggy styles that have been around for the past 20 years. And turtlenecks... they have the effect of making a guy's shoulders look broader. People underestimate the effect of shoulders on appearance as a whole, in both men and women. If you're a guy with rounded or somewhat narrower shoulders, turtlenecks are your best friend. You can also wear slightly wide-cut t-shirts, or sweaters that have a looser fit at the top or with a logo/detail right underneath where your neck ends.

  • When I was a kid my teacher told my parents "she has something that nobody else at her age has, and that's genuine empathy". Now I'm an adult so it's not an applicable compliment anymore, but I still appreciate that comment, and I'd like to think it was true.

  • Omg I JUST did this, though she was in grade 12. Basically did all the work knowing that she wouldn't graduate if she didn't hand it in. If I'm honest it bothers me because she didn't deserve to graduate, and I don't like the idea of enabling someone's bad habits and she makes a habit of skating by, but I couldn't help myself. Not having a high school diploma is a death knell for so many things, and I think there was a very good chance that she wouldn't have gone back to finish school. I don't know if I made the right decision or if she just needed to learn a life lesson and experience some real consequences, but alas here we are.

  • What's your best non-traditional piece of budgeting advice?

    Jump

  • That's actually really interesting, I like it. I'm trying to brainstorm areas where I've neglected to consider associated costs. Probably cooking for me? I have a strong tendency to get culinary inspiration and drop way more cash than I intended on all the things I didn't realize I would need.

  • Wouldn't it be nice if instead of just bars with alcohol, there were establishments for people to consume cannabis while eating, playing board games, and socializing?

  • Well you would go to an alcohol bar. There's more than enough of those already.

  • Right but you can consume cannabis in tons of different ways - cookies, cocktails, etc. Restaurants had smoking areas for decades with far worse air filtration systems.
