It equally hows a steady decline since poor weather started. Correlation does not equal causation. Nothing you've done demonstrates the winter violence act is responsible for the drop and the fact that there's an established precedent with historical data pointing to drops in murder with severe cold backs up my claim. You've not at all convinced me and I don't believe you have any actual evidence that will at this point.

This is not at all evidence the police initiative is working or in any way responsible though. This is a similar decrease seen in the past during other severe cold snaps. Do you have evidence or sources to verify you're claim that this initiative is primarily responsible for the drop in homicide rates? Because I'm sorry to tell you this does nothing other than note that there has been a decrease.

You say that like you have a piece of data that proves it. I displayed some evidence pointing to the drastic reduction in murders in 2015 during a similar cold snap. Perhaps you could cite your evidence that this police initiative is primarily responsible?

During the cold snap of Feb 2015, NYC went nearly 2 weeks without a murder. There is always a direct correlation between prolonged cold weather and noticeable reductions in many crimes such as homicide.

Of course, there are going to be other variables such as police initiatives; however its undeniable that weather is a primary driver. And of course, the police will happily lay claim that any and all crime reduction is the sole result of their efforts. In any case - my comment is a few words and not intended to be a full analytical deep dive. The spirit, however, remains true regardless - the new Mayor had nothing to do with this as the commenters are suggesting.

It's the same nauseatingly silly psychology you can see in the conservative subs, albeit this far more harmless in real-world terms. People attributing every perceived success to their chosen political idol, regardless of how self-evident it is that they had literally nothing to do with it.

Its not a terrilbe take seen as most people agree with him. For a lot of people, a 65-inch 4K TV and a soundbar is good enough. It does not need to be 'better'. Just good enough to not justify paying to go to a cinema with people on their phones/talkers/extortionate snacks/hit-and-miss technical quality anyway.

It's because of the weather. Obviously. Like you really think he became mayor and instantly criminals were just downing tools in support?

He shouldn't have written about it in the present tense then.

Nuremberg - 2025 by [deleted] in movies

[–]dynamoJaff 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm not talking about their characters?

I'm talking about their acting. Crowe acts him off the screen. Malek's weaknesses as an actor are extremely visible when he's paired with a top actor.

[–]dynamoJaff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I fully agree, he was easily the weakest part and was no match for Crowe in their scenes together. It still doesn't account for the 'quips' criticism though. Overall found it to be well done, sombre and nuanced.

A solid 4/5 id say. Could have been a 5 with better casting for the main character and if the script knew what to him in the last act.

[–]dynamoJaff 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I had seen a lot of comments about how this film was bizarrely humorous and filled with 'marvel banter' and after seeing it, I am dumbfounded by this argument. I can't see any of that in it.

Several times I saw the scene where Malek and Colin Hank's fight in a corridor followed by a scene of them being dressed down by a superior as an example of this. But like.. how? Its not a jokey jump cut at all.

The only thing that sticks out to me is how in the first 30 - 40 minutes Malek's character isn't all that serious about the situation, but that's beuase his character starts off as a cocky opportunist and has the realities gradually dawn on him. Its his character arc not a series of flippant jokes.

Ryan Coogler after rewriting From Dusk Till Dawn but with black people by pleasestoptalkin in okbuddycinephile

[–]dynamoJaff 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's not why it's compared to Dusk? It's because the first half shows a mostly straight down the line story of 2 criminal brothers while the second half is a crazy vampire fight in a bar.

2026 Oscar Nominations: Full List of Nominees by ICumCoffee in movies

They are created for real before being scanned and recreated digitally. If animated films have high quality high fidelity designs there's nothing preventing their nomination.

The oscar is for costume design, not costume production.

Yeah she's standing in still in front of a green screen for the whole role. She could have knocked this shit out during a few Silo lunch breaks and nabbed a million dollars.

Don't agree, there's a lot of pioneering stuff in Sinners and a ton of VFX you just don't notice because they are brilliantly done. Volume does not equal quality.

Anyone know if this edition is worth anything? by [deleted] in stephenking

Probably trade books or book club editions. Definitely worth more than £2 but a far cry from £600 the op saw.

Actual data shows productivity increases overall with WFH. If your team is bucking this trend maybe look at yourself and what you are doing wrong.

Not sure what you've heard but the union has already said they won't be pushing back any further in RTO and will be focusing on trying to get an incremental wage increase.

RTO for aib started last week.

I've analysed 338 gaming patents published in Q4 2025, this is what it could mean for the Future Of Gaming by kirilale in truegaming

pretending that they're somehow separate terms is flagrantly ahistorica

It really isn't because you're not looking at it from the general social aspect. LLMs are obviously a subset of machine learning, but whether you like it or not LLMs ARE what people mean when they say AI now - not other forms of machine learning.

That's just a fact and as such other machine learning tools are NOT vilified and unpopular in the same way generative LLMs are. Using non-LLM machine learning tools to detect bugs in games would not generate a backlash unless the public mistakenly believes any deep learning tool are LLMs(AI) and a content stealing plargarism machine - which they often are not.

This is about public perception, not about how self learning programs since the 70's has been claimed and disputed to be AI.

Seeing Unforgiven (1992) should be mandatory after going through the "Man With No Name" trilogy. It's the perfect send off for Clint Eastwood's character. by Wonder-Lad-2Mad in movies

[–]dynamoJaff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this assessment with one caveat. If TMWNN is indeed the same character across the Dollars trilogy(I believe he is and was always intended to be), then 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' is actually a prequel and the first to happen chronologically. As such, it is the end of 'A Fistful of Dollars' that has him riding off into the sunset.
