Forgive me if you thought I was pointing at you specifically. I'm pointing at idiots who make all these stupid and childish arguments, in this thread, but in every Lemmy post about speed cameras.

The real problem is people incapable of adhering to societal rules. The real problem is children in adult clothes getting mad when they actually get in trouble for breaking rules. "Oh why dont they just redesign the whole town to make that impossible?!?! What if someone hacks the speed camera and gives innocent people a ticket!!!Why must I read and obey the speed limit??? Oh the injustice!"

Speed cameras are inexpensive, they are not prejudiced, and they work. They cause no trouble to anyone obeying the limit and send a ticket to those who do. To everyone who also argues about fines being legal for the rich, yeah, that's bullshit. Solve THAT problem. I'm all for it.

Except then everyone has to suffer for the stupidity of few, and emergency vehicles can't got faster in an emergency....

? You've never seen a cop park right over a little dip in the road at the bottom of a hill right where the limit changes?

I've never seen stupider argument than I have with these speed camera debates. Read the speed limit sign, look at your speed, follow that speed. I'd prefer your careless ass get a ticket in the mail from a camera than pay a dumb cop to sit there all day letting his buddies and "important" people go while giving everyone else a hard time.

I don't. All tools can be abused.

Just be careful, it's in the brothers interest to have free care for his mother and to inherit the maximum amount of money....

Depending on your relationship with your brother, a private conversation first to figure out where he stands in is order. But depending on what culture you come from... You might have to stand up for yourself. Sorry your mother has these expectations of you and I hope you can find a solution that allows you to maintain a good relationship with your mother. But more importantly, protect yourself.

So what is HBOs liability in all this? I started my original comment with "why aren't the producers all the way down to the camera OPs not being charged with somethng?" But then... This situation is bullshit but real journalists need incentives to seek out serious crime, and need to be able to record and report on it....

But then if she was keeping a human prisoner, obviously that wouldn't fly....

Where is the line? At what point does ("should", I know this will never happen) HBO get all their profits seized and rights to the doc taken away?

It's not the cheating. It's the "porking your HR lady" part that's a problem for companies who dont want to get sued.

I haven't read to many articles on the matter but for all we know hr lady does not like him at all but wanted to keep/get that job and now she is stuck in an abusive relationship. Can't share with her partner cause yeah... And can't get HR to step in cause... Yeah.

No evidence that is the case but that's why we should fire CEOs who date their underlings. You are right we should absolutely not be firing people for not abiding a religious/social contract that has nothing to do with their job.

I've seen this response a ton and I think that's exactly correct, but I can't imagine the anxiety in the hours, day and weeks after. Just waiting and wondering if anyone recognised you, if anyone had a recording/proof. Then after a few months under the radar I might not be a complete train wreck.

But then what if Coldplay puts out a Netflix special or something, then I'd have to wait and wait until it came out and then watch it and see if that moment makes it into the recording... And if it does? Now I'm just waiting for some random friend of a friend to watch it and go "hang on..."

I think I'd rather this timeline, if I was that idot.

Probably why I'd never cheat on my partner, especially at a huge public gathering, when the person I'm cheating with is an employee and I'm the fucking CEO and could lose my job over it.

Thankfully this man will certainly continue to fail up, and as soon as this news quiets down he'll get hired by some other goon just like him to some other lucrative job where you just have to be an asshole a few times a week and otherwise the money will roll right in.

Wait is this a joke? Was this a King of the Hill episode?

If "less affluent film markets" use AI, where are the artists going to get their first shot? How will they learn and hone their craft if not in the industry as lower paid talent on lower budget stuff? Just work for free for years and then Disney will start raining money on you eventually? (note: this will not happen)

I don't know what to do about AI. It's not even AI that is a problem. It's capitalism. It's corporations slashing every tiny expense to maximize profits for the shareholders. If they could just pretend that us film crews were actually valuable, treated us like shareholders, we could have a bigger piece of the pie and they could have better media, but then they'd have slightly less money so...

Oh well.

It feels like a recent development too.... But then I'm not on twitter or truth social so it could just be I didn't notice until recently.

You did your part. Enjoy your vacation!
