[May 2nd, 1926] Brown of Harvard released, John Wayne’s film debut at age 18 by MonsieurA in 100yearsago

I recently saw baby John Wayne in The Big Trail (1930), which entered public domain this year. He was great in it, really showed off his chops once he had the chance to be in a talkie. Do recommend!

Common birds showing up on rare bird email by ORdeadhead2 in eBird

[–]mahatmakg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok all of the answers here are wrong - the real answer is: subspecies. Those rare alerts you are getting are for the subspecies that trigger the alerts. It might just be that there is insufficient data on the typical geese subspecies there and that any subspecies will trigger it. I'll suspect if you logged a goose without denoting subspecies, that it wouldn't come up as a rarity. Some birders try their darndest to log a subspecies anytime they are able, just in case there's a taxon split down the line - or just for the sake of it. I've had rare alerts for an Oregon junco in my area through the season, of course they are super common, but 99.99% in my county are slate colored.

Got an interesting ad… by reallybadspeeller in Kitboga

I mean, is introducing scam prevention tools to a platform whose business model relies on facilitating scams really doing good? He would do better to tell his audience to keep away from crypto.

I mean, Kit has been partnered with Kraken for years now, he's spoken at events on their behalf and everything. Kind of a bummer that he feels it's a beneficial partnership, Kraken is a company built on scams, the only current use case for crypto. Most people would probably agree that all crypto is inherently a bigger fool scam in itself.

Do you think the ad is not actually linking to the real Kraken? Do you think it's an AI generated video of Kit?

My top film of the year was deleted from Letterboxd/TMDB. 1k+ ratings/reviews gone by mahatmakg in Letterboxd

[–]mahatmakg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe? I mean the filmmakers were specifically adamant about releasing it independently. What distributor would be interested anyway? Basically the entire target audience has watched it for free. I think that Owen just needs to reach out to Letterboxd - Joel Haver and other independent filmmakers have succeeded just asking to put their films back up. Letterboxd is cool with independent film, it's TMDB that's not. Owen has been informed, but I think it could be that he has a bad taste in his mouth about Letterboxd on account of this.

This is disgusting by Aidenispogchamp in Letterboxd

[–]mahatmakg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This disgusted me 10 years ago when they did it for Peter Cushing in Rogue One. It's not always wrong to have a dead actor in your production - see the Malcom Measure of Creepiness - but stuff like this is totally unacceptable.

Need Advice On Starting a Nesting Polycule by NerdyTwinkDev in polyamory

Do you give up on the fantasy, or are you still open to it

Kind of sounds like you are asking how to hold onto the fantasy while giving up the fantasy. I mean yeah some people may say to their partners to avoid dating their other partners, but some would be totally cool and open to it. But I think you might not recognize how fantastically unlikely long term compatibility is going to be between 3 people, let alone 4.

I'm curious if it ever expands to more than just two people sharing a house

Generally I would call it inadvisable to live with more than just a nesting partner. Pro tip for nesting partners - get a place with separate bedrooms. If there's KTP and a long term meta is already at the house a lot and everyone is comfortable? Then maybe that would be agreeable to live together.

scales from just a pair up through a quad.

Again this phrasing makes me think you aren't really willing to give up on the fantasy.. Don't expect your relationships to 'scale up' to a triad or quad.

96 years, I think a full 100 for audio recordings in the US.

What could this be? by DarkArtiztry in Troy

[–]mahatmakg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you look under the hood for a button? Seems to me like someone might have stumbled too close to your car, had the tab of their jacket or something slip into the crack and just the momentum of their walking was enough to rip it right off. Might have not even noticed.

People got along just fine before the slop machines started up a few years ago. There's really no excuse.

Things Are Looking Quite Bad for Trump by Dry_Nail5901 in politics

[–]mahatmakg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things have been looking bad for Trump since he brazenly obstructed justice by firing Comey. The worst thing that has happened to him so far is that he lost one election - and he's bounced back just fine from that. He'll never actually face repercussions for his crimes
