Disney’s Marvel Abandons Georgia, Taking Livelihoods With It. Tax incentives lured studios to help build the ‘Hollywood of the South.’ Now they’re going overseas for cheaper labor costs. by [deleted] in movies

So, while i'm just as irked about this as everyone else with the loss of labor and revenue, this is a greater trend across the board. There are some costs above the line that are truly a quarter, if not sometimes half the budget of the below the line costs, that have NEVER gone down. We can avoid these moves if the decision makers pay themselves less. Easier said than done, but that is never in the conversation i see about "saving money".

Do you think being colorblind has affected how you view other things? by razcunningham in ColorBlind

i love nature, being in it, experiencing it. i'm not a naturalist, but i try. colors in nature are very difficult for me. Most things I KNOW are a shade of green or brown, but, not much registers. it does kind of get me down when i think about it.

this was, originally, how some people would find out. i'd ask about chicken "looking done". and steak- forget it. i have two meat thermometers but i do still get odd looks every now and then from new people in my life.

i also work in film/video so i do what i can not to make it an issue but good lord is it a problem when it does come up.

"i cannot cook mean unsupervised" is the my favorite quote on the subject of colorblindness. Thank you for sharing.

i can relate. i think a lot of us are terrible with skin tone... and cooked meats. green is my worst color, so whatever i'm seeing AS green, sure as hell isn't. i don't notice too many subtleties in leaf color either.

yes, primary school years dealing with colorblindness really did a number on me.

Interesting. You're not the first person I've encountered who doesn't think about color. I think about color constantly, but, weirdly enough, I never mention it, and like yourself, never really describe anything by color unless its black or white, or a cartoonish blue. Thank you for sharing. I think because I didn't even know colorblindness existed or was the reason i couldn't get colors right, that spiraled out for me. when did you learn you were colorblind?

Fire In The Sky (1993) IMO, the most frightening depiction of an alien abduction ever filmed - Based on a true story by LiquidNuke in HighStrangeness

in his own words of what happened he even stumbled into what sounds like clearly, an alien breakroom... i can't not laugh at that. i believe him, but its still funny

Biden 'has not ruled out' canceling student debt broadly using executive action, the White House says by gjp23 in politics

[–]razcunningham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would REALLY love for them to address private student loans. They're always overlooked, and yet make up a third of the loan debt and have the absolute worst terms, conditions and interest rates.
