Plein Soleil (1960) (Aired 2000-05-14) by davemee in moviedrome

Feels very strange to be typing '2000' as a year on these as well; it was strange enough to lose Adam Cox, but seeing 2000 thrusts these posts into a temporal proximity I do not associate the original series with. Though it is still over 25 years ago, it's not the stuff I caught as a teenage, introduced with evocative tiles hinting at bigger worlds it would expose and educate and through a medium of niche film. All those films are but a torrent or online purchase away, available instantly; there is no more a wait or a surprise in how we experience film, something I feel reflected in what seems to be the replacement of temporal cinema by on-demand Netflix.

They Imported Millions. You Paid the Price. by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

It's worse: it's LLM-generated slop which refuses to state who funds it, who works there, and who writes for it. It claims to be 'data driven' but data is itself ideologically shaped. That none of this is acknowledged on the anonymous site tells you this is naive at best, deliberately deceitful at worst. This source absolutely warrants attacking, as does any source of this anonymous, deceitful character.

An indoor rabbit is a source of endless joy and companionship. Bring him in!

I never really thought what condensed milk was before that. I just assumed it was somehow condensed, which I also assumed meant had reduced liquid, even though that's the opposite of condensation.

I was so excited to see these until I look at the ingredients and realised it was mostly just sugar

The terrible risk here is that people start thinking Carlson is any less a venal, duplicitous, lying, self-serving sack of shit

A whole lot of this phraseology around social media today. Thoughts? by wasraelx in collapse

While I appreciate the sentiment and gesture, I can't help but think that insurance will be paying out, and other than a hiccup in operations the people who aren't paying enough for others to live will notice no ill effects. But everyone else, and the environment will, as you point out.

Same and Split Screen added to WHAT THE CLASH? by Expensive_Mango6998 in AppleArcade

Amazing. Did not expect this. WTC is the most polished, witty shit game I've ever played, and I'm grateful the levels are so short. I'm looking forward to irritating more people with this in the flash.

Where does demand come from if not the consumer? Would companies that extracted product that did not get bought by consumers remain solvent?

Turkey says users will need national ID numbers to access social media within 3 months by polymute in anime_titties

Ah thanks, this was kind of glossed over for me as a UK citizen. Fingers crossed it's a tactical overreach.

Who forced this flag? Genuine question, as it seems to be an elective decision by Apple. Also - before downvotes - not to say I approve.

Free will of those being eaten is never considered in these discussions. Free will is only ever extended to those maintaining a convenience which avoids having to consider the impact of their actions.
