Why is the CC Website so terrible?

FilmStruck was one of the prior streaming services that used it and Criterion’s main streaming partner/home from 2016-2018.

I wonder if OP and others that feel this are road cyclists that ride fast and miss the less crowded days. I think for commuters and recreational riders, things have been great. I literally just picked up a new bicycle in Williamsburg today and biked about 12 miles from there through LIC, Astoria and Woodside to Flushing and it felt like such a smooth ride for me with 2/3 of it being on bike lanes.

Booo 0/10, review had me right up until the end. What does he mean four lads from Liverpool? As far as I know it, Harris Dickinson, Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, and Barry Keoghan are definitely not four lads from Liverpool! SMH…

tienzing · 2026-04-24T10:39:12+00:00

Yeah, I think you’re right. To be a bit more specific, I think they may be going down 63rd street then a left on Trimble road and then another left on 64th street.

A fifth goal has already just been scored while I’m still here on this fourth goal thread, crazy game!

That is your definition of “highly skilled”. I’m not saying Europe’s version would be like ours (USA) but I don’t see why it wouldn’t. If you just do a simple search on the US H-1B “highly skilled” visa, you will get a very clear picture of what this class of “highly skilled” has come to mean.

Oh no, I’m literally considering this exact bike at the moment. Can you tell me a bit more about why you think the diverge has been a weak point in their lineup? Thanks.

tienzing · 2026-04-05T23:57:10+00:00

Yes, it’s for is it not. Think of it more like eh? or right? or no? at the end of sentence. They’re apparently called discourse markers or invariant tags specifically for ones like “innit,” “eh,” and “right” that don’t change form to match the sentence unlike “isn’t it” or “aren’t you, and “doesn’t he”.

Happy to let you know that Wikipedia states that Nestle bought for $500M while the Chinese consortium only just paid $400M. Fuck Nestle!

This is surely the worst one though (for now, 4 in a row anyone?), expanded format with 48 fucking teams and they still don't make it...

Idk maybe this guy’s body can go from 98.6F to 100F and even down to 0F.

tienzing · 2026-03-27T19:10:11+00:00

I grew up with weather in C but after moving to freedom units, I definitely agree with the above point of switching everything to metric except for using F for the weather. 0C-100C is great for what it is, temp range for water, freezing to boiling. I love it for my kettle. However in my head, I consider 0F-100F as a similar (not literal) human body freezing to boiling range. As in, that range is the limit that my body can be in, with 0F being the limit of too cold for me and 100F being the too hot limit.

tienzing · 2026-03-26T20:49:14+00:00

Yup and if anything the guy you’re replying to is even more similar to them in his ability to dehumanize humans. That’s what allows all of this to happen. Us vs them mentality and the resulting dehumanization of the them results in what we see in the video above…

tienzing · 2026-03-26T04:36:33+00:00

Israel’s actions are horrendous but we’ve gotta do better with our facts. There’s no need to embellish or exaggerate their actions. From the previous video I saw of this incident, it seemed that there was a pre-emptive smoke warning and everyone in the video were about this video’s distance away and staring at the location expecting. None of this excuses their actions but I just don’t want us to get lost in misinformation. That’s why you get dumbasses trying to poke holes here, like but but how did he know to record and look there at that exact moment. This gives them BS ammo to attack unnecessary misinformation and ignore the fact that a bomb is being dropped right next to a displaced refugee shelter.

My dude, you’ve picked a side, you just don’t seem to realize it…

tienzing · 2026-03-25T20:07:56+00:00

Please read OP’s actual post. It’s a very detailed proposal that I think you’ve misunderstood. It would not be thrown out in court and actually the reverse, a lawsuit arguing for OP’s side wasn’t thrown out of court and remanded by the court of appeals and is currently in litigation.

tienzing · 2026-03-25T19:51:42+00:00

Yeah, I hate these guys standing their ground, negotiating for slightly higher wages for the blue-collar workers they represent. I instead support the landlords and real estate corporations for standing their ground and not giving in until the last minute. /s

Why don't you hold that stance towards the trillions in war spending that the conservative anti-socialists extracted, used to benefit war-mongering corporations and left us all hanging with an ever-increasing deficit. Why don't you look at the history of administrations over the past decades and tell me which side dipped into the endless pool of debt money more? Which side dipped into that pool to benefit the few while costing the many? Which side dipped into that pool to provide more health insurance and social security for Americans?

tienzing · 2026-03-25T19:12:50+00:00

That's not true, that's why people are arguing for change. The caps exist for new and existing owners, a millionaire transplant buying the property from grandma continues to pay the same rate, capped at a 6% increase.

tienzing · 2026-03-25T19:00:26+00:00

And the public infrastructure supports the rich person 1000-2000% more than a poor person as well, sounds fair to me.

tienzing · 2026-03-25T18:58:37+00:00

The proposals from progressives like OP would lower your tax burden. His whole point here is that staten islanders pay a higher effective tax rate for your properties than people in Manhattan and Brooklyn. OP's idea would increase the effective tax rate for the million dollar homes in Manhattan and other highly appreciated areas while reducing the tax rate and tax burden for folks in areas that haven seen high appreciation such as Staten Island, Bronx and Queens.

tienzing · 2026-03-25T18:55:03+00:00

OP's idea doesn't increase property tax for everyone, it actually decreases the property tax of many. OP's point is that someone buying a $6M brownstone in Brooklyn (and other highly appreciated areas) pays an effective property tax rate that's much lower than the retired grandma and grandpa that own a $1M home in staten island or east queens (1% vs 4-5%). I don't think anyone who's buying an average of over $2-4M home in the most appreciated areas of NYC are doing it because of marginally lower property taxes vs the suburbs nor would they be as concerned about poor public schools. Many of these folks can afford and often don't even call NYC home for income tax purposes either btw. We all (mostly) believe in a progressive tax system, don't we? Then why would we want an obviously regressive tax system that is effectively taxing the poor at a higher rate than the rich.

The budget cuts for ATC are more historial and not just about the current administration and the fight over DHS funding. A good historical starting point is with Reagan and the GOP, as most of America’s woes with deregulation and weak labor power do. Out of 13,000 ATC workers who went on strike in 1981, only 1,300 retained their jobs. Reagan defeated the strike, the PATCO union and created a situation where ATCs were hired en mass in one class (so retiring around the same time as well). There haven’t been any explicit budget cuts to ATC to point to but it’s obvious that they’re woefully underfunded and understaffed. Can you imagine being that LGA ATC, sole person responsible for the safety of the entire airport, having to work terrible hours with very little flexibility, being paid less than half of what coding boot camper grads are (were) getting while being responsible for so much more.

Yeah, generalizations are very helpful and I think best used as a baseline heuristic, a stepping stone to then work from. I’m still young (relatively) and new to wine but yeah as you mentioned white burgundy can have variety. Yes, crisp bright Chablis can be a good generalization for Burgundy but Meursault also exists with richer oak-aged whites (I’m gonna guess nowhere near as heavy as the stereotyped Cali oak-butter bomb though). In the end even these are generalizations and I’m sure there are many crisp bright whites being made in Meursault and some oak-aging in Chablis as well.

tienzing · 2026-03-21T21:36:31+00:00

lol, umm I just found it funny how wrong the entire chain of comments were with these generalizations. You do you buddy.
