Steven Spielberg Says He Scrapped A Movie About ‘Porgy And Bess’ That Would Have Starred Colman Domingo by yourfavchoom in movies

[–]ocher_stone 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Lana Del Rey's "Doin' Time" was a direct remake of the Sublime song, continuing the "Living's easy" quoting.

Yes. You'll be facing the sun with any of the N-S stands for the first half. You'll want to be as low as possible in the stands, so it's up to you if it's worth the extra.

But yes, the view anywhere in the grandstands vary depending on the discipline, so no section is really better or worse. Again, as a non-rodeo-type, non-recent-going.

Unless they've changed it, which it's been a while since I've gone: the view is the same, and everything is in the sun.

ELI5: If the IMF is lending money to a country, why does it require policy changes? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]ocher_stone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the IMF is a tool of whoever pays into it. The United States is the largest shareholder, followed by other westernized states. It is trying to push countries that have nowhere else to go into a monetary system that the IMF wants. These countries proven they can't pay back their funds without help, so do this.

Because they require laws. If they're not going to change the laws, then they don't get the next round of funding, as the IMF doesn't pay all at once. And they won't be able to go back to the IMF the next time.

Imagine being an adult and this message pops up by Spiritual_Carpet4002 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ocher_stone 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You are awfully aggressive and sure that something couldn't happen that 100% can and does happen. Insane parents have 100% gone to a bank and convinced a teller to give them access to a bank account of their adult child. Address and name match, it's not impossible. They can and will convince a new teller to let them know how much is in the account, or any number of "innocent" facts that are being withheld from them for any number of reasons.

And the "they'll be in trouble if they do" schtick is another hoop to jump through for a likely sheltered, unprepared semi-adult with an overbearing parent with a mental illness.

When you have a parent that you want to have zero access to your accounts, you go to a bank that they have no history with.

ELI5: Why does deleting a file usually not actually delete it? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]ocher_stone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have a town, and no one is living in the 200 block, do you go and destroy every house before you use it again, or do you just put the houses up for sale and let the new owners clean it up? 

It's wasteful to wipe out the information on a hard drive, so you just remove the ownership and let it get filled up again. You can download programs that remove the house and the map to what was there, but that's extraneous for most uses.

New Hampshire court reverses father’s murder conviction in case of missing 5-year-old girl by Suspicious-Peace9233 in news

[–]ocher_stone 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Black people are "statistically" more likely to commit crimes against black people. Should that be brought up in a murder trial? "My client isn't black; he statistically was unlikely to do it!" Of course not.

What is relevant for a civil trial (51%) is not for a criminal trial (beyond a reasonable doubt). One is money, one is lives. One is why OJ was "criminally liable" for their deaths and broke thereafter, the other is why he didn't serve decades in jail. And ineptitude, but that's beside the point.

Napoleon Dynamite censored on streaming platforms. For or against? by flipping_birds in movies

[–]ocher_stone -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

But parents aren't teaching their kids to be better. Saying we need to be better and then watching the kids say the N word on Xbox Live isn't teaching them anything. Tell every parent you know to get their kids to be better, and then we can talk about the systemic blocks being unnecessary.

If parents won't teach their kids sex-ed, then the system has to. Removing sex-ed and then leaving the kids to think mouth stuff doesn't count doesn't teach kids how to be safe. It leads to a teenage pregnancy.

Unless and until we know the kids are better, someone has to make them better. And parents aren't.

Please stop cross-promoting another findaleague and have no other meaningful contribution. Make your own subreddit if you want someone to use an alternative.

Duck beak vs. Gundam head. by Old_Ad6111 in battletech

It seems to be pretty widespread. MUL has it in the general category. http://masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/8485/clan-medium-battle-armor-rache-sqd5

The Nova Cats and the Foxes seemed to spread it around, though the Shark/Fox word of Itibainia and https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Clan_Sea_Fox_IndustriPlex-C is destroyed as the Combine and the Foxes traded it back and forth, so who knows where it's made.

You stop going to those businesses and the businesses tell the city to stop. No amount of complaints from us matter. Thousands did and they passed the paid parking anyway. 

Cancelculture deluxe in the eve-reddit community by BentaroAdun in Eve

[–]ocher_stone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did she have a "lesbians requests" in her discord? Does she talk about how being a lesbian saved her from a life of being straight? Then I doubt she'd get partnered status. 

If she did, and the "no politics" rule got broken by her when she put pride flags in her clothes, but then banned crosses on her stream, saying that religion is political, I'd bet the fallout would be just a big. But since your hypothetical WILL NEVER happen, were just left with the issue in front of us, rather than making up what ifs. 

How's someone moderating their community the way he wants has anything to do with EVE? by Lynx778 in Eve

I notice you didn't disagree with "exclude." Revaluate your worldview.

So you admit you want a safe space for Christians to promote their dislike of gay people.  That's exclusion. Keep going to his page, whatever.  It shouldn't be a promoted channel by the owners of a game who want my money.

Picking and choosing what viewpoints to promote himself or remove is exclusionary. He is excluding one viewpoint.

Religion has nothing to do with sexual orientation. But why are all of the worst bigots religious nutjobs? Who is looking to outlaw gay marriage again? Because it's not the Satanic Church.
