This is attributable to movies not being interesting or good, given there have been 3 billion dollar movies over the past year and Disney had its biggest opening weekend ever with Moana 2. People want to go to the movies, they just aren't willing to go to the movies for movies that aren't interesting

Does she actually have a Twitch account? Or is it another fake account?

I've gotten 3 more DMs in the past 2 days

Historian Jane Plumber says nothing will change until someone is actually brave enough to commit infanticide.

“It’s clear that time traveling back to April 20, 1889, in Austria is getting easier and easier. But you can’t just go and give baby Hitler a lecture on why genocide is bad. You need to pick the kid up and spike him on the ground like a football,” said Plumber. “And killing the baby isn’t even the worst part, you will most likely get arrested for killing this kid and nobody will actually know you’re a hero to millions. You are just some psycho who turned a healthy baby into a puddle of blood and guts. Unfortunately, that’s the only way to make a difference.”

I'm fucking dying. I had to read this out loud to my wife, because she wanted to know what I was laughing at, and I could barely get through it.

Also, my grandpa killed Nazis. I loved that man.

Every time I open Lemmy, I'm incredibly fearful of what pearl-clutching material is going to be thrust in my face, so I come back over and over

I live in a liberal area in Texas (a state where 45% of voters reliably vote blue, I'd like to add). As my friends and I all started to have children, some of them chose not to vaccinate their kids. Rationales given related to a lack of understanding of the severity of a disease like measles, a general distrust of the medical establishment and pharmaceutical industry, and a belief in "natural" remedies. This was a point of contention in our friendship and we had to just drop the conversation entirely. We basically kept our son away from them until he was 6 months and got his MMR, then started hanging out again.

Here we are, 6-7 years later, and with everything happening in the news and the outbreak in West Texas, they've all decided to vaccinate their children over the past 3 weeks. I was proud of them, it can be hard to admit to making a mistake like this.

The GDP of the US is about $30 trillion USD while the GDP of the EU + UK is about $23 trillion USD. Europe has enough capital to effectively compete with the US, and it does. "American institutional investors" include a ton of foreign capital. This isn't a "David vs Goliath" situation

Most global ~~American~~ food companies have food plants around the globe.

You're really oversimplifying this situation, European multinationals do the exact same thing to US brands. Examples include Nestle, Unilever, and AB InBev, among many others.

Multinational corporations make a boycott of a specific country's products difficult, because oftentimes the factories that make the products may be within your country even if the top of the chain is located somewhere else.

That's Bun B

There's all sorts of crazy shit filed in the Texas House every legislative session, bills like this are basically never going to get a hearing or leave committee

Your first statement is questionable, voters decidedly punished Republicans for shutting down the government as the minority party in the past. I think a shutdown would give Trump the cover to blame everything that's about to go wrong with the economy on the Democrats, and I don't think it's a good idea.
