I should’ve clarified. Locally owned independent theaters.
That said, not everyone has those. They tend to exist in big urban areas, or very small communities. If you’re in the middle, you get the chains.

- Comment on Movies not starting when they are scheduled. 2 days ago:
Go 20 min later if you’re going to something like an AMC theater. AMC is particularly bad.
But better that, support locally owned theaters or smaller companies in general. They generally plug the snack bar, tell you to turn off your phone, then cut to trailers.

Are you sure Trump’s birthday parade didn’t have a giant skeletal foot?
A parade isn’t a parade without a skeletal foot.
- Comment on The White House is paving over the Rose Garden with concrete. People are outraged 4 days ago:
It looks like they’re getting rid of the grass that was under the seating area. They’re also putting French drains around that gathering area.
The roses and topiaries are still there, they’re just redoing the area where the chairs and tables go.
This is landscaping change is pretty low on my lists of concerns about Trump. I have a lot of greenery in my yard, and I also put gravel and stone under the seating areas.

Obviously a true story. Cats are famously easy to train. Also, the image has words on it that support this story.

Teams entire notification user experience is dog shit.
Some of the calendar and video conferencing integration features are nice, but life is much better in G suite and Slack if you’re an enterprise.

Technically the term is “community” here.
Subreddits are to Reddit as Communities are to Lemmy.

Some old games are still pretty rough with their original frame rate. I recently played 4 player golden eye on an n64, and that frame rate was pretty tough to deal with. I had to retrain my brain to process that.
- Comment on What did Musk and Trump fall out over? 2 weeks ago:
I guess the big argument is that giving a bunch of money to the wealthy will stimulate the economy. Although, that’s an argument that many nations, including the US, have 50 years of data on, and there isn’t much to support that argument. Trickle down economics hasn’t been shown to work.
I also, if you’re in the camp that doesn’t believe in climate change and or thinks poor people are poor because of character flaws, then you probably like this thing. Or if you’re a wealthy person who donated a lot of money to republican politicians, you probably like this thing, because it’s a return on investment.
It’s not particularly great. Many people on the right only voted for it because they’re afraid Trump will primary them, and end their political careers, if they oppose.
- Comment on What did Musk and Trump fall out over? 2 weeks ago:
The bill give massive tax cuts to the extremely rich, and it attempts to pay for part of that by:
- kicking many low income and disabled people off of federally funded health insurance
- closes poor rural hospitals that depend on Medicaid money
- cutting subsidies for manufacturing jobs that make emerging green tech, like EVs
- food and child care assistance will disappear for many poor families.
- and there is a bunch of weird little sneaky things hidden in it that people hope don’t get noticed because the bill is 200+ pages
When you do the math, the rich will get a lot of money, the very poor will have lose money, the and middle class will break even but many will be put on unemployment.
And it costs an extra $4,000,000,000,000, which is fucking bonkers.
- Comment on What did Musk and Trump fall out over? 2 weeks ago:
Publicly, Elon said Trump’s bill was full of pork and would increase spending and debt by a lot.
Voters on the right were already waking up to how shitty Trump’s bill was, and Musk just used his megaphone to let even more of Trump’s base know that it sucked.
Privately, Musk is probably pissed that Trump’s bill didn’t help his companies. These are two greedy assholes. It all comes down to money and ego at the end of the day.

Stalin and Lenin never kissed at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance, so Yezhov was erased from time.

It’s so bad now that the default client is king and now that a lot of the good super users bailed.
The content and the algo that sorts it is terrible.
