This would be a double edged sword. Without regulation, the ISP will work in whichever way grants them the most money.

This means that they probably won’t go after copyright claims unless the rightsholders pay them first, but they will ramp up data collection efforts to sell to brokerage firms and will also engage in rate-limiting on high-bandwith use cases like streaming or torrenting unless you pay extra.

Not super surprising. We tend to follow whatever the US does in terms of international politics.

“Kamala supports abortion which I really like. Trump says that he supports weed which I really like.”

If only Kamala Harris made some kind of overt promise to legalize marijuana federally.

fun fact: If you ever see any of those quirky “solve this complex equation for the Wifi password” It’s always either the phone number of the place, or the first X digits of Pi.

if it has a sanitize feature, it would get hot enough to disinfect it too. Just run a couple empty washes with soap on the hottest, longest cycle and you’d be fine

Just pay your staff a livable wage and get rid of tipping entirely.

Is it because the people that we need to worry about don’t get paid massive wages? Instead they leverage their massive stock ownership as collateral for loans. And stock bonuses are not regulated or taxed in the same way as real wages.

I’m sorry about my neighbors, things are fucked up here.

The oilsands have warped the economy so much in this province that any political party that doesn’t align with the wants of that industry specifically is seen as the antichrist.

As a result, we also get a lot of the anti-gay, anti-trans rhetoric that comes part and parcel with right wing politics.

We might not hear about it, but there will definitely be consequences for these people when they’re caught.

“hey what if we made a cartoon entirely about the revenge fantasies of a 12 year old girl?”

“Sounds great, make it papercraft too, just to make it extra unsettling”

I have a soft spot for Bakshi movies but I haven’t seen this one. I will have to check it out.

I think my favorite is Heavy Traffic. It feels like they figured out most of the production problems with Fritz by the time they made it, but still haven’t run entirely out of money like with Wizards.

Probably the Toxic Crusaders, but only after watching the movie it’s based on.

The cartoon itself is just another knockoff TMNT, which was the style at the time. I have no idea how someone showed a board of directors the Toxic Avenger in the early 90s and said, we should take this and make it a cartoon for children.

Wizards had the best ending of any movie I’ve seen to date. It just comes out of fucking nowhere.

I heard a rumor that Ted Cruz pisses his pants on purpose because he likes the warm feeling between his legs.

Yes, absolutely.

The nice thing about Reddit was that if I saw a new TV show, read a new novel, or picked up a new hobby, there would be an existing community of people already talking about it. Lemmy is great, but it doesn’t have the critical mass of people needed for that to be possible.

I mean, it’s true that they don’t actually know the motive.

You can make a strong educated guess, and you’d probably be right, but until there is a full investigation leading to a conviction, they can’t say that for sure.

Casting this would be a challenge. With no costs and no suspend keyword, you’d be basically required to cascade into it

They were pretty astonished when they heard that she had installed a GPU by herself (which most people here know is trivial). Which gave her enough confidence to fix her VCR by herself.

Anyone can learn any skill if they actually invest the time.

And regarding the older brother, you learn pretty quickly working help desk that users generally don’t care what the problem is or why it happened. They just want to get back to work and not have it happen again. After a while you get conditioned to just be friendly and solve the issue without explaining what you’re doing or why.

To be fair, the protein folding thing is legitimately impressive and an actual good use for the technology that isnt just harvesting people’s creativity for profit.
