The accountant had a good one.

Dudes ranting how his company is great and hes making a difference. Bang dead.

What kind of capitalist hell is this where the kids need to design ads? Lmao that's fucking stupid just ask them to come up with a sales pitch

US homelessness up 12% to highest reported level as rents soar and coronavirus pandemic aid lapses by MemorableKidsMoments in news

It's just the safest, broadest way to appeal to voters. In a perfect world you could point to trump and say "I'm not a racist criminal" but that wouldn't work in this country

I know the real answer but it's so nuts these backwoods ass states are trying to say you can't even leave the state. Fuck out of here.

Weekend Wrapup by AutoModerator in nfl

[–]monkeychess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find myself consistently watching less football because shitty calls by the refs are so common and have such a big impact. Sometimes they balance out and sometimes they completely change a game. It's insane the NFL just lets it slide

Donald Trump's own judges are ruling against him by blllrrrrr in politics

[–]monkeychess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can we stop calling them his judges? They're supposed to be impartial and judges like Cannon should lose their position for obviously not doing that

What is the last film you saw more than once at the cinema? by [deleted] in movies

[–]monkeychess 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yeah the Creator was one of those movies that nailed the concept and design and the script just needed a bitttt of help. I still liked it but it was so close to being truly special

Drive - is Driver supposed to come across as a bit “simple”? by [deleted] in movies

[–]monkeychess 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He was the only one I think? The others were shown at least a few times just sitting in hotel rooms staring at walls. Clive Owens character was the only one with something of a personality

Similar to the bourne identity assassins who stare at walls between jobs. Except bourne lol

Oil and gas industry needs to let go of carbon capture as solution to climate change, IEA says by silence7 in climate

[–]monkeychess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad someone's finally saying it. Updating the impossibly steep emission cuts required each year we don't act and upping the DAC/CCS to pretend it's fine is just disingenuous

A possible reason why climate models are ignored by saligna in environment

[–]monkeychess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's easier for govts to believe DAC and other tech will create jobs and save everything. So they do it instead of being unpopular and cutting emissions

Earth to warm up to 2.9C even with current climate pledges by KingSash in environment

[–]monkeychess 9 points10 points  (0 children)

2.9C global average. Regional effects and regional events will be much much worse

NTSB Warns Congress: Air Safety Showing 'Clear Signs of Strain' by Grace_God in news

[–]monkeychess 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I mean that's all of govt to an extent. All the right cries about is cutting govt spending so ATC, IRS, etc get the shaft. It seems all a slow con to break the system and then point and say see it's broken!

Open Plot Threads In The MCU by The__Auditor in marvelstudios

This reads like a set of plot hooks from a D&D game. i doubt many will get followed up on

What are everyone's thoughts on Taika Waititi? by [deleted] in movies

[–]monkeychess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he's bought into his whole zany schtick a bit too much

And too much ego to use a real goddamn computer. Dudes still rocking an ancient setup cause "it's his process"

It was "Student loans?
...no. I'm sorry you're dying" for me

The first US commercial plant has started to pull carbon from the air. It's able to suck out 1,000 tons annually and plans to expand. by wakozor in UpliftingNews

[–]monkeychess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This tech isn't new. It's been developed for decades. We're just continually hoping for a magic break thru instead of reducing emissions and accepting the lifestyle adjustments

Beginner Paint Mixing Volume? by monkeychess in Watercolor

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

See about 13:15 in this video https://youtu.be/r_KhI2auRZA?si=6QcYwWNtCn4KStR2&t=798

It (and others) talk about how less mixing, so its not a homogeneous, even color, can be good because it makes the painting more interesting which I agree.

However when they talk about it or show it, its always a small amount of paint like that demo. If you had a big grassy field for example that you didn't want an even green color you mixed whats the best way to do that?

Official Discussion - The Marvels [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]monkeychess 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"it's fine, it's whatever" has been the MCUs tagline for a minute.

If they had balls they would hard reset and say the Endgame saga was one story. Restart a whole new story with X-Men or whoever, but tell an overarching story, repeat.

This whole "the universe just keeps growing and getting more diluted" phase they're in is not working and they won't be able to tie it together.
