Ah, thank you.

Who dat?

I don’t care.

Serbia is mini Russia? I thought that was Belarus.

Apologies, I wasn’t trying to be productive. The time for that was before the election. Swifties, Gen Z, Gen X, Millennials, boomers, women, men, minorities, etc had the chance to stop Project 2025 and we all failed. I think election results show low turnout across all demographics? And now a lot of people are going to be hurt by the Trump/GOP policies of hate…

If they had voted, they wouldn’t have to worry about anything else.

Again, I appreciate the information but “revolution” is a nebulous term. What’s the realistic plan to get there?

Voting can’t get us there.

I’d believe that if we had enough participation. Look at the number of eligible voters, then look at the margins on every single candidate and issue. If enough people had voted, we would have literally put fascism behind us and had election reform. First past the post would be a distant memory. Which again, is the absolutely required first step before 3rd-party candidates become viable in the US.

Voting works if enough people vote. But we do have the numbers! I realize getting people to participate is the harder problem than just saying an ideology will solve everything, but that’s the world we live in. Any realistic plan for revolution must at least include voting as long as voting is still an effective part of progress.

This is actually so true. We’re all dazed and staggered. Donald Trump won. But he’ll win even more and do more damage if he keeps us all feeling helpless and powerless going forward. We’re not.

What are these groups’ position on voting for 3rd party candidates in the US’s “first past the post” climate? Genuinely asking. I’m all for organizing and educating, but until we can end the correct 2-party system, these candidates are in no way viable.

Damn, that already feels like a million years ago. You didn’t have to be a news junkie like me to see that quote and know that Trump lost the only debate the coward showed up to. Literally unfit to lead. Yet people just said “don’t care, want boot!” and voted him in anyway. So embarrassed for my stupid country…

Yeah, but I was just whining, it wasn’t even a good joke. 🤷‍♂️

Of course not! That would contribute to the unmanageable stream of of 8-10 posts a day!!!

I feel like quality is severely underestimated here. Everybody now has 1-tap access to aggregate reviews from seasoned reviewers and regular audiences. When a movie sucks, everyone finds out and your marketing budget suddenly means nothing.

Good movies aren’t guaranteed to make a profit, but in 2024, bad ones are pretty much guaranteed not to. This is completely independent of a single element like VFX.

Lol the term “Marvel movie” didn’t even exist back then! And they didn’t start making movies until 4 years later…

Thank you for your important research.

If you have the choice between Firefox and Xitter and are conflicted… What are you even doing with your life??

Roll for initiative…

Blue. I think it’s objectively the best, most beautiful color. Not sure what more I can say…

Next, you’ll tell me I shouldn’t get all my news from memes!
