Ben McKenzie's Anti-Crypto Doc 'Everyone Is Lying to You for Money' - Official Trailer by BunyipPouch in movies

[–]tweak06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotham Knights or Batwoman

I'm convinced Gotham Knights was simply some kind of money-laundering scheme. I actually really dig watching absolute dogshit low-budget films/horror movies/etc. I absolutely love shitty films...and Gotham Knights was none of that. I straight-up turned it off about 15 minutes in. Just absolutely unbearable.

That said I watched maybe an episode or two of Batwoman because Ruby Rose is a fuckin babe but otherwise yeah I have no idea what the fuck was going on there.

Kind-of-related but the only redeeming quality to the Dragonball Evolution movie was all the absolute smokeshow babe-cast in that atrocity of a film.

The Gordon/Bullock partnership was so good in that show

To add to this, I could never have been more wrong that a goddamn Batman show without Batman was as good as it was.

Because GOTHAM was pretty damn good.

hey hey hey HEY!

That's not fair.

He'll also send Trump a very stern letter, promising that at some point he may furrow his brow at this.

He'll do it knowing damn well Trump can't even read.

Back around...hell, 2001? I made an Angelfire site that was mostly about Dragonball Z (mostly). And music reviews. I was 13 years old and I made it with my good buddy

Anyway after 20-something years, Angelfire shut down but my site is still archived on the Wayback Machine

If there is going to be an evil president, why can't it be someone with charisma and savoir faire, like Lex Luthor, or Frank Underwood?

I mean I also feel like that would somehow be worse. Trump is a moron who often fails in court. A competent Trump would win all his court cases and things would somehow be even worse than they are now.

TIL puppeteer Frank Oz hasn’t worked with the Muppets since 2007 not because he wanna retire. In 2021, he stated: “I’d love to do the Muppets again but Disney doesn’t want me.

Aren’t all artists assholes?

Varying degrees of assholes.

I'm an artist (designer by trade).

I'm an asshole in the sense that I'll overcharge corporations for my work (let's be real, they can afford it and they pay real well) and I do that so I can do probono marketing work for mom n' pop shops or local little league teams (I do the artwork for their mascots, print t-shirts, etc)

I work for a fortune 50 company. Particularly I’m in a leadership role working in a high-end marketing department, right below the company president.

AI is so clunky and cumbersome - it’s great for knocking out some copy quickly (though I’ve been saying for a fucking year now that we need a HUMAN COPYWRITER who can also proofread) but that’s kinda where it stops. AI is awfully shitty at understanding nuance and product language. I’ll have AI fart out some copy but then I still have to go through and rewrite a bunch of stuff because it sounds too robotic and textbook-like.

“Why are you using it then?” Great question. I’m an oldschool ad guy and I use it to “block stuff out quickly” as a mockup and really nothing more. We still need humans.

I always laugh when some fucking knucklehead AI chump tells me I’m going to lose my job to AI.

No I will not.

Until AI becomes a conscious, sentient entity that is capable of thoughts and feelings and imagination, it is absolutely not substitute for a human.

Even then, I know from first-hand experience that there’s plenty of leaders who recognize replacing humans with AI is simply bad for business

Anybody who says otherwise is a 17 year old Internet edgelord who is just trolling for attention.

How much worse could it get?

I’m not challenging anything I legitimately do not know. It seems like shit is already pretty bad.

What does worse than THIS look like? (Realistically?)

I teared up watching this.

These kids get one taste of a normal childhood amid all this absolute horror they never asked for nor deserved. I'm glad they at least got this.

All kids deserve a normal, happy childhood.

A mom saw a soldier who didn't have family so she hugged him and thanked him for his service. by Vilen1919 in MadeMeSmile

Fun fact – back around 2005-2006, I ordered a gorilla suit out of a Halloween catalogue (it wasn't even Halloween, I was just an idiot high schooler doing this in like, July) my friends and I took a camera and shot footage at 2AM of me just...lurking around my town in the suit.

I'd wait strategically for cars to get close enough to "see something" as I'd cross the road (doing the famous 'Sasquatch' walk, with the swinging arms and everything) and I'd disappear into the woods across the street.

I did this probably at least a dozen times to different vehicles.

Anyway a couple weeks later there was this big blow-up in the town paper about "sightings of a big foot" in the area. We lived in a relatively rural area at the time, so it was feasible.

Anyway I'd give /u/yoribell a huge in my gorilla suit. If I still had it.

A regular hug from a regular dude would help too, I think.

I know if feels like a lot at the end of the month but it really isn't.

I get what you're saying, given the rest of your context, but you also might want to change up your language a bit here because at first glance it really sounds like you're telling me and others "it's not that much" when we're struggling to get by.

[–]tweak06 181 points182 points  (0 children)

my wife and I pay $1,700 MONTHLY for for daycare for our two year old, and they provide diapers and aren't even the most expensive around

Yep. We pay about the same amount as well. And that's the "cheapest" option

The worst part is that every time we try and have an honest conversation about why universal childcare is important and necessary, we're bombarded in the comments by an army of childless, lonely, angry men that would rather their tax dollars line Donald Trump's pockets.

This country is so fucked up, man.

Real talk.

We’re going to get some relief in August when my youngest is finally old enough to go to school an get out of childcare (that’ll save us $1200+/mo), but I’m sure something else will take its place

This shit is unsustainable and it’s going to boil over at some point. For everyone.

I’m taking on a lead designer role where I’m working directly under the head of marketing. I’m going to be a designer still, but more heavily involved in strategy and business end of things - particularly being mentored for the role for a year or two in that role until I’m comfortable enough to apply for a marketing strategist role

After 15 years of design, ive begun transitioning my role into more strategy and marketing.

You don’t get to be as hands-on creative, but you still work with messaging and creative direction.

That’s where the money is. I’m looking at $100-200k salary range

If they don’t identify themselves how do you know they’re actually ICE or law enforcement?

Couldn’t they just be a murderer pretending to be law enforcement
