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.

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.

Ken Paxton should be under the jail.

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.

You only earn so much, though. Once you finish with requisitions it’s buy only

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.

Maybe it’s weird to ask but… did they destroy them? I don’t see that written anywhere so maybe it’s obvious? Dunno

Baby steps man, baby steps. The fact that one of the has a line is a start.

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

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

Someone stole $40 million of EA’s money and didn’t advertise another horrible cashgrab?

“I’m not even mad, I’m… impressed!”

I think he’s right, but is anyone else annoyed at the suggestion that anyone is truly ‘provoked’ by weakness. Prob just a translation thing?

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.

The history of impeachment in the United States is important to understanding the Bill Clinton saga. The Founding Fathers wrote impeachment—originally a Roman political institution—into the constitution for the purpose of removing an official who had “rendered himself obnoxious,” in the words of Benjamin Franklin. Without impeachment, Franklin argued, citizens’ only recourse was assassination, which would leave the political official “not only deprived of his life but of the opportunity of vindicating his character.”

It would be best, Franklin argued, “to provide the Constitution for the regular punishment of the Executive when his misconduct should deserve it, and for his honorable acquittal when he should be justly accused.”

The bottom line here is that if anyone manages to eliminate prosecution for acts performed while they are president, expect the Punisher. In fact, while I don’t normally support violence, I’d have to say it’s a patriot’s duty.

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”
