I mean, they shouldn’t be bricking each other’s computers, then they can’t continue to learn with them

On isolated, super rural areas where you’re the only person on a dirt road for miles, I think it might be unavoidable during parts of the year or if the road is really intensive to bike (steep, sharp curves for example) BUT that’s where you should be able to drive to your village or town center and pick up the 15-30 minute regional train.

Likewise that would mean the people closer to town who might already be walking to the barber or liquor store would also be able to walk to the station if they needed to go farther.

I believe Kbin already fills that role either as a fork or at least as a similar platform

It’s a pretty common joke for libright people

About a year. I found it after cleaning up an event. Took it home, soaked it for 24 hours, and now it’s covered in stickers.

You seem pretty optimistic about this, but I don’t think the demands will be met until the studios exhaust every trick in their playbook and are forced to negotiate.

Well, yeah. If I wasn’t optimistic I wouldn’t be able to be involved in political discourse. On a long enough scale, the masses win. It’s literally a war of attrition, and if you start it from a position of despair or pessimism you’re setting yourself up for failure. I’m not a WGA or SAG member, but I am I fan, and it’s really heartening to think about how for instance, the YouTube Channel Star Wars Explained has been putting a disclaimer on all their Ahsoka content that it was produced during the strike, which means that many people are having their lives impacted by a strike action for the first time.

Keep supporting the strike though.

Exactly! My hope is that by sharing my viewpoint about what it could mean for us as fans and consumers, I prevent people from losing faith or support in the strike, because I am well aware of how the AMPTP literally had one of its reps’ say they were waiting for the strikers to start losing their homes before they went back to negotiate.

The fact that strikes are even happening at all is heartening. The US labor movement was subservient to electoral interests, hesitant to engage in more confrontational actions for too long and it drained union membership and crippled wages.

I hope it’s the 2nd of many more. I believe that this, along with the striking demands of writers and actors being met, would fundamentally shift and alter the economics of production again and lead to better quality shows and movies.

I love the green theme on the menu, they deliberately changed their cable box settings for that. Throws me back.

Well hopefully some people here will see it and subscribe and it’ll build.

such a good trick. Used it for years.

This would really light a fire under corporation’s asses to adapt for climate change…

Neurodivergent hell.

Diabolical.

This is one of the most creative ones so far

Is there a popular /c/trees anywhere yet?

um, it’s not supposed to hurt for either 😳

IBS be like

You this fun with every silly hypothetical?

I think I’d just charge it constantly at every chance.

That could be deafening in certain public spaces.
