I disagree. The same argument can be made that digital allows for a multiplying of films being made at shorter run times because it allows people to work faster, which is what we saw happen with rhetoric rise of digital until the writer's strike and then Avatar's success was truly when the switch over happened.

Companies no longer want to make $40 million off a film that cost $14m to make. Not if they can spend $140 million to make half a billion, or only $60m more to possibly make a full billion.

Wait... they promised you the position upon hiring but had you working as a regular employee (at I assume regular pay). And during this time they were implementing the ideas you proposed (outside the purview of your temporary position).

Just a head's up, but there is a very good chance your local authority considers you the victim of wage theft.

Now you might be beginning to understand why the company lacks a culture in which they promote from within.

What? Stop watching fox News and read a text book.

I am under the impression that Sea Walls will accomplish nothing. Their water table limestone, so to speak. They are going to b3 drinking salt water tears before their houses are permanently flooded.

I believe his Twitter show episodes are around 10 minutes long.

Knowledge Fight has been deconstructing them the last few weeks and they seem pretty short on content so far.

Except we know Biden will beat Trump.

We don't know that a Newsom campaign could beat Trump and I think we would be foolish to assume so.

Generally, if the VP doesn't win the nomination, the party doesn't stand a very good chance of winning the election. I think if Biden didn't run and Harris did not get the nomination (I think Newsom would slaughter her), Trump takes 2024 fairly decisively.

I think the democratic party's best path forward is an uncontested Biden/Harris reelection, and then instead of running in 2028, Harris decides to retire.

The most vocal atheists tend to be people who just deconverted and the humorlessness is likely due to to still working through trauma.

They also kind of have to learn humor as they go. Have you seen faith-based comedy?

Generally barber shops that serve alcohol are in very upscale parts of town and a haircut and beard trim after tip and tax is probably to be close to about $70 bucks. Generally.

I am also very confused why people would take their kids to one of these places.

Begins?

Have you attempted to do a search in the last 3 years. It's unuseable these days essentially.

You definitely are not American. AOC can't run for president until 28 due to her age.

18% is a huge margin in a democratic election.

@Maxcoffee

Here is what I honestly think happened: a lot of older gen x and boomers saw their reputations destroyed on Facebook during the Trump Era.

The people who didn't leave Facebook because of them just put them on mute. They only had other old people to communicate with. This didn't satisfy them though, because really their entire ideology is wrapped around triggering other people.

So they went to reddit and discovered that anonymous shit posting was safer and their Facebook went back to livelaughlove largely.
