- Comment on Dakota Johnson Delivers Damning Diagnosis On Hollywood’s Risk-Aversion: “It’s All A Bit Of A Mess” 5 days ago:
It’s not Hollywood creatives, but the banks that they’re reliant upon to finance productions.
The movie financing department un-creatively wants to see the safest lineup of stars, directors, and a non-controversial script to maximize their chances of getting their loan back with interest.
Ironically, this also means that the risk you have to create interesting art is missing.
So the end product is safe, but because it’s the same thing, it’s more and more boring over time.
It’s why an octogenarian Scorcese gets to make “The Irishman” with similarly aged Robert DeNiro, because that’s a combination that made money in the past.
It’s like AI shit.
It’s great at first, but soon you realize there’s nothing new coming out because it’s just AI regurgitating its training data, and undercutting artists trying to make a living by making something new.
Similarly PornHub.

I had hoped that the humans of the 25th Century Federation had evolved or developed educational, political , and other social systems to where this wasn’t a problem anymore.
Kind of like money.
Otherwise, there will always be a dark undercurrent of prejudice and hatred in all human dealings, and maybe the Romulans, Klingons, and other antagonistic spacefaring civilizations are justified in not wanting to deal with a human-led Federation.

Voyager seems to work fine with the newly migrated communities.
Try !television@piefed.social for example.
Unfortunately, adding a piefed user account doesn’t work because Vger fails at the capcha step.
So register at a different Lemmy instance, and access piefed communities.

The properly formatted link !television@piefed.social that @Die4Ever@programming.dev posted was what I needed.

Piefed is okay, but apparently that link is not compatible with Lemmy clients like Voyager.
Any suggestions?
- Comment on 'King of the Hill' Voice Actor Jonathan Joss Fatally Shot in Texas 2 weeks ago:
Add together cheap and easily obtainable handguns, NRA gun == macho manhood culture, and stress from the house fire and that’s already a volatile mix.
Not even considering whether drugs, alcohol, and racism were involved.

Depends on how much his character was supposed appear.
If it was just cameos, with Kate Bishop/Hailee Steinfeld getting most of the screentime, then of course.
