Yes, sit diwn and let them execute you like an obedient slave. I’m sure asking nicely will help.

Isn’t it Ionic?

Yes, but line go up fast enough?

I would agree if it weren’t painfully obvious the Russian elections that brought put in in weren’t heavily influenced by putin-run domestic terrorism and election fraud.

Wait, actually, it still is a good comparison.

Carry on.

Maybe I’m just too autistic to understand, but why are all these “gender-swapped” movies going from men to women leads?

I understand that there are far more male-led movies to pick from, but I have not seen any movies that “go the other way”.

Personally I think going in with the intention of gender swapping the male roles for the sake of gender swapping alone is a terrible premise. And the thought of watching The Sound of Music but with a male version of Maria is just weird. Or a male in the lead of Alien.

Granted, there are a lot of movies where the entire direction of the story, while not dependent on the person’s gender, they aren’t conducive to the opposite. Using my own example, Maria was a nun who became a governess, who became a step-mother. The swapped version would have to be a priest who became a (I don’t know if there’s a name for a male version?) live-in childcare provider, who became a step father. While not impossible, or even that wild to think about, it’s not typical.

Is it just one of those “it’s good to have representation” things? Like I personally know someone who thought black people couldn’t be royalty because until they saw princess and the frog, there wasn’t exactly a lot of diversity in Disney’s princess catalogue (with apologies to Mulan and Pocahontas) so clearly there is something to be said about representation in media.

I am definitely over thinking it, but I really don’t get why anyone wants, or thinks audiences want, gender swapped stories from 20/40/60+ years ago.

Thank you for coming to my TEDx Talk. Sorry you can’t get the last 3 minutes back.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought it was a poor choice.

I work with adults that mentally never left middle school. They already tell crass sexist jokes that make HR cry. I can only imagine the shit they’d come up with for something like this.

So theft and extortion. I remember when those were crimes.

There’s at least cause for a citizens arrest at that point

Yes, but…

gives a reasonable person fear of imminent bodily harm or death

Driver could shoot the HSI douche in the head and I’d say self defense isn’t murder.

You hop in my car like that, you’re gonna have a bad day.

Why would you give water to a country that has threatened to invade you in recent months?

And the Internet didn’t exist back than in the sense that there was no real yt, twitter or Facebook yet.

Damn, what the fuck was I using to talk to random people about rc stuff and music and shit? CLEARLY it wasn’t the internet, as that didn’t exist before facebook and youtube blessed the world with their presence.

Gladaed, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I love how when I point out it’s owned by a nazi, people rush in to defend their use of twitter and most usually it’s some form of “it’s the best for what it is/it has a huge user base” and me responding with a picture of musk doing the ol’ Hitler Salute saying “okay but you’re supporting this guy, and if you sit at a table with 10 nazis…” usually results in being blocked, people simply ignoring me, or saying something dismissive.

Surely the article title means “again”, as he has done so repeatedly.

Is Switzerland full of sexist people who think “someday I’LL be rich so I don’t want to tax MYSELF more, hypothetically maybe in the distant future”?

Understandable.

It’s a fairly middle-of-the-road, while being catchy and therefore played all over the place.

I’ve felt similar about a lot of popular songs in recent years. They just feel bland, but some parts still get stuck in my head every so often.

Executives should be forced work their lowest paid company position, and be dumped in an apartment with absolutely nothing.

See how long they survive.

You can talk to me about my work-life balance when I’m not putting the healthy option back because it’s more expensive than the cheap unhealthy ultra processed bullshit and I can’t justify the expense.

I lost my grandmother and my sister is currently in treatment, both my parents are showing symptoms but don’t have money for Healthcare and refuse to go into medical debt. I myself am sitting on top of a handful of symptoms I’m willfully ignoring hoping they’ll go away.

It is a heartwarming post.

Just seems like a weird place to be negative.

You know who’s gonna have to fix it…

Typical business, sell a flimsy product that won’t last more than a dozen uses.

You need proper 4x4 or even 6x6 timber and mortise/tenon joints for something that will last for the entire treasonous administration.

I saw a post asking the same thing the day I joined lemmy dot world with my first account.

That was a couple years ago now. I think I’m on my third instance?

Cranial Jettison Disorder is a serious issue.

The French knew how to handle it quite well.
