  Also public figures have to prove “actual malice” in a defamation or libel. Actual malice is an incredibly hard thing to prove.

  sniff ideology

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well the quest for a universal aspect ratio was lost in the fifties. Just be glad you don’t have to watch pan and scan VHS transfers of films shot in cinemascope

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I enjoy the combination of two flavours if they arrive separately, but hate them when they arrive pre-combined?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Things like acid and salt act as flavor enhancers but the don’t enhance all flavors equally so you perceive less flavors you dislike in proportion to the flavors you enjoy.

  Please. She’s CONSTANTLY on Twitter spouting her bullshit

  Basically all TERFs are whiny attention seekers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JK Rowling prefers two years in jail over using correct pronouns⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  How much time is she willing to do to avoid minding her own fucking business. I’m guessing it’s a lot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a film whose trailer alone presaged its success?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Blair Witch Project had one of the best marketing campaigns ever. Hitchcock’s Psycho had a groundbreaking campaign as well.

  They don’t do much math on movies or TV so… no

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An admin deleted all my uploads and I have no clue why⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They are well within copyright in terms of timeline. Anything after 1927 can and likely is subject to copyright. I don’t like it but that’s how it works. Given that they are images from trading cards, it would not surprise me if the rights holder was enforcing copyright through a third party service.

  Maybe there was a DCMA takedown request?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I get informed on Joe Rogan without watching his videos.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not true. Dan acted as a probono advisor to plaintiff’s council in one of the Texas cases. He never testified. He did sit in on a deposition and suggest a few questions and lines of questioning

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I get informed on Joe Rogan without watching his videos.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You should check out Knowledge Fight. They are the experts. When the Times wants to cover him they call them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I get informed on Joe Rogan without watching his videos.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Behind the Bastards and Some More News have covered him albeit tangentially. Knowledge Fight has covered when Alex Jones has been on Rogan and it really illustrates how dangerously unprepared he is to deal with people like Alex

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4 careers where workers will have to change jobs by 2030 due to AI and shifts in how we shop, according to a McKinsey study⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  “The glass-half-empty version is that the people who are most vulnerable to some of these shifts are some of the lower-paid folks in the economy,” he said, adding, “The glass-half-full version is if we’re actually able to transition them through re-skilling, etc., then they could be taking on roles that actually have higher incomes. If we can make the labor market work by enabling these transitions, it’s actually all for the good.”

  The half full narrative is both naive and unrealistic. Even if lower paid people universally get paid more landlords and food providers will just raise prices because they can. The last three years proved that.

  Actors absolutely take a hit when a project fails. Shure they aren’t on the hook for budget overruns, but if a major project fails, the starring actors see a decrease in demand for their services and likely lower earnings from subsequent projects
