I hope more apartment complexes and buildings will allow this, I’ve got a bunch of sun that hits my balcony all day when it’s sunny. Would love to cut my power bill and move more into sustainability

Wasn’t there an episode where green and red were on a mission together, many Serpenterra eps, and green gave red his shield for protection?

Shouldn’t be difficult, the only time I still use my PS5 is remote replaying some of my old digital catalog or if a relative gave me a gift card

Yeah I got mixed up bit you got what I meant, and they both could easily be wrong! Art is always an ongoing subjective conversation between artist and audience and then subsequently audience to audience
- Comment on Has anobody seen Odyssey? 1 week ago:
It’s not that Siskel’s opinion or critique of the film was wrong, but his contention that his average audience member would dislike the movie for the same reasons he disliked it were at least for this poster incorrect.

If there’s no consequences there’s no incentive for them to not just do whatever they want. They will keep doing whatever they want until they stop getting away with doing so

Art by corporate committee, a fucking travesty
- Comment on Has anobody seen Odyssey? 1 week ago:
I want to be clear I don’t disagree at all you’re correct. Corporate control of art means they will go to any lengths to ensure profit.
But also, I really kinda glossed over the overarching problem, which is that the film industry is now driven by reviews and vibes reviewed by c-suite folks that answer to shareholders and don’t give a fuck about the actual film or show or whatever
This has always been true with the plastic arts but we’ve reached a zenith.
I will die on the hill that art cannot be considered a financial investment. It by definition has to take risks and investment people cannot handle that

I swear rotten tomatoes and IMDb fucked up movies and tv more than anyone talks about. You can’t REALLY make an review of a work of art, even if it is corporate produced tripe, with a percentage scale or */10 system, and before anyone comes at me I know it’s been done for decades but it was never a be all and end all thing, critics wrote articles about things and you might disagree with their sensibilities and go see it specifically because a particular critic didn’t like it, the opposite is also true.
At some point though we crossed a line where no one actually reads the criticism and internalizes it, instead they just look at the number and make it either a personal attack or validation. Thats a really bad way to experience art of any kind.
This isn’t a complete thought I feel, but I hate the reality of film and television criticism today, not because critics are worthless, because that’s just silly. If you like something Peter Travers said was dog shit go find a critic that speaks to your taste it’s not difficult and doesn’t mean your favorite movie actually sucks.

Thank you, I came here to see if it was at least somewhat safe to lick uranium, I don’t have access to it but if I ever did I wouldve tried because that sounds like a badass story to tell at a bar/party

- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 3 weeks ago:
If we count deaths during the European theater of WWII I don’t think he’ll hit Hitlers death toll unless he uses nukes before he croaks… so I guess I hope Hitler stays atop the list? That feels weird

Thank you I was thinking that throughout this thread

Naw fuck that motherfucker, he doesn’t deserve any kindness or empathy ever. Nothing wrong with anyone else’s appearance, but his existence is repulsive. He’s everything ugly about humanity and has earned every single cruel thing that will ever be said about him or done to him. Nothing about him has ever been worth the carbon his disgustingly corpulent body consists of

It just kinda struck me that simply adding the word “how” right after “me” completely changes the quality of the dad
