Understood. Don’t do anything apart from stop him entering the room.

Catapult vs trebuchet. The extra rotation point makes a world of difference.
Agree that the benefits dont quite outweigh the space issue though.
- Comment on The original LILO & STITCH had a famous ad campaign where Stitch ruined different Disney classics. Director Chris Sanders explains the story behind them. 3 weeks ago:
I think they mean that back then, elaborate marketing campaigns (yes, for money) were a bit more commonplace, while today, the fun veneer over the greed has worn thin and most companies scrape by with the widest but shallowest marketing strategies that are even more transparent in their greed. We all know companies want our money, so any time we forget that momentarily is kind of like suspension of disbelief when watching a movie. The bar for the suspension of disbelief in corporate greed is simply getting lower. They realized they don’t need to try that hard to still make money hand over fist. Doing this again would be pretty expensive. You know what’s cheaper? Slapping some canned images and animations over existing logos and stuff.
It seems stupid to be annoyed by the fact that the ever-hungry jaws of capitalism “aren’t as fun as they used to be” but i think it’s getting upset over the fact that companies think they don’t even need to disguise their avarice to get away with it. And to a growing extent, they’re right. The showmanship being romanticized was meant to dazzle and distract the masses from the uglier parts of business, but now we just accept them instead. There is no shame in greed, no reason to hide malice when it’s an accepted tool of your trade.

This. I was sure I had mine completely clean 3 times and was pretty resigned to wireless charging only before a hardened sliver of detritus dropped out. Back to working like new.

Well, I kinda had the impression peristalsis loads the cannon, so to speak, while pneumatics fire it.

- Comment on What would it mean for the world if America was confident they developed a technology that would act as a fool prove deterrent from nuclear attacks what would that mean for the rest of the world? 4 weeks ago:
I think the idea is one of them is convincing someone to not do something they still have the power to do, while the other would be taking that power away completely. There may be a truly foolproof way to disarm a weapon, but there will never be a foolproof way to convince someone of anything due to the unpredictability of people.
- Comment on Do you really have to let everyone know 1 month ago:
Right? Like, we get it. Farms are important. No need to shove it down our throats.

Ooo, I think I’ve seen this one
- Comment on Spent half an hour on it. Felt good. 3 months ago:
Nothing in particular, just Disney being Disney. Had the subscription for family, was finally able to cut the cord recently

Don’t worry, I assume nothing. Call me naive, but I’d rather be likely shouting into the void than staying quiet and possibly missing an opportunity to be heard

I know it’s unlikely to have done anything much, but if no one speaks they definitely won’t be heard. At least there’s a small chance for someone to understand the company is shitty. A small grain of doubt can grow into dissent with time. Worth the gamble of a little time to me

Because I need to at least try to tell them their shitty practices are hitting them in the only place that matters to them: their wallet. I don’t think my little survey will do much in the grand scheme of things, but many small thing make big thing so I do what I can. I made it very clear they’re pushing people back to the high seas
