Investor money.
- Comment on What would you consider to be the greatest action movie of the 2000s so far? 6 days ago:
I think Fury Road, RRR, and The Raid: Redemption are easily the top 3.
The Villainess, Crank, and Shoot ‘Em Up are also contenders.

$$$$$
- Comment on 💤💤 4 weeks ago:
Yes. His actual game type is “normal.”
- Comment on Or we could do metric time 1 month ago:
Yes, but having 2, 3, 4, 6 as factors is way better than having only 2 and 5. We’d be giving up one factor to add three.

We need more Borts license plates!
- Comment on How does South Park get away with trashing identifiable people? Are they sued often? 1 month ago:
The kids came up with the joke:
“Do you like fish sticks?” (Pronounced like “fish dicks”)
Then, when the person said yes, they’d call them a gay fish.
The joke becomes a meme on the show, but Kanye West doesn’t get it, despite having it explained to him. He thinks the joke is directed at him personally, and does actual scientific research to find out why people think he is a gay fish. At the end of the episode, he accepts his fate, and decides to live as a gay fish (complete with a catchy autotuned song.)

George Clooney was instrumental in getting the show made in the first place. He liked their second Christmas short so much that he made hundreds of copies and gave them to all his friends, which helped them pitch the show.
- Comment on Windows users don't want copilot on their taskbar 1 month ago:
They pulled all their info from a reddit thread, though. Even though it was a Windows 11 sub, reddit tends to have more polarized opinions than most.

TL;DR: The author isn’t involved in this film in any way, but here are some random ideas anyway.
- Comment on if 4^1*3 + 4^2*3 = (4^1 + 4^2)*3 ... 2 months ago:
So you’re asking how to factor 2x + 3x^2?
You can factor x: x(2 + 3x). Or in this example, 4(2 + 4*3).
- Comment on ‘Our Flag Means Death’ Canceled After Two Seasons at Max 4 months ago:
Season 2’s ending actually works really well as a series finale.

Gabriela Hearst designed the gown in collaboration with the actress to promote her “health and lifestyle” brand, G-Spot.
Cool.

I’m not watching it, enjoy your binge of a bad movie.
- Comment on Are MRNA vaccines any riskier than other vaccines? 4 months ago:
Yes. Pfizer and Moderna made mRNA vaccines. Johnson & Johnson and Oxford-AstraZeneca made DNA vaccines with an adenovirus vector. Novavax made a killed vaccine.
- Comment on Are MRNA vaccines any riskier than other vaccines? 4 months ago:
No. They are actually incredibly safe, much safer than the vaccines from last century. The big scandal from 1955, where an improperly killed polio vaccine gave polio to 40,000 kids, leaving 51 paralyzed and 5 dead, is literally impossible with mRNA vaccines.
As a doctor, I consider mRNA vaccines to be one of the most exciting developments in vaccine history. It has the potential to make vaccines something that a developer can encode, much like a programmer writing a computer program. The possible applications of this are insane.
- Comment on Are MRNA vaccines any riskier than other vaccines? 4 months ago:
J&J might be a bad example as it’s a DNA vaccine.
- Comment on [Music Notation] What does "D M F# m/5+" mean? 5 months ago:
The D major scale is D, E, F♯, G, A, B, C♯. A standard chord is 1, 3, 5: D, F#, A.
The F# Minor scale is F♯, G♯, A, B, C♯, D, E. A standard chord would again be 1, 3, 5: F#, A, C#. The 5+ augments the 5, so the C# would become a D: F#, A, D.
- Comment on What are the best features of Lemmy that aren't available in Reddit? 5 months ago:
Sounds like you need to curate your feed.
- Comment on What are the best features of Lemmy that aren't available in Reddit? 5 months ago:
On Memmy at least, the ability to mark posts as read so my feed always has fresh content.

Yes, and it’s great.
- Comment on What do you like better, free speech or right speech? 6 months ago:
Stupid and whiny
- Comment on Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire | Official Trailer | Netflix 6 months ago:
The problem is he wants to do massively bloated epics but doesn’t really have the plots to support them. He actually needs to be reigned in a bit, just not the way WB did.
Justice League probably needed to be in the 2.5-3 hour mark. BVS simply needed less in the film. At least here he’s getting several parts, but will each part still be a bloated mess?
- Comment on 92% of young people would sacrifice other perks for a 4-day workweek—here's what they'd give up 6 months ago:
Despite the popular belief that younger generations are champions of remote work, one-third of Gen Z and millennial workers say they’d be willing to work fully in-person if it meant shaving a day off of their workweek.
[. . .]
Other sacrifices that Gen Z and millennial employees say they’d make in exchange for a four-day workweek include working longer hours (48%), changing jobs or companies (35%), working weekends or evenings (27%) and even taking a pay cut (13%)
Translation:
- 67% would not switch from remote to in-person
- 52% would not work longer hours
- 65% would not change jobs
- 73% would not work evenings/weekends
- 87% would not take a pay cut

No, they cannot.
- Comment on We have had guns for 200 years but mass shootings only became common in the last 30. So what changed? 6 months ago:
Semi-automatic guns became widespread in the US military in World War II. The US’s first mass shooting was in 1949, by a man who served in WWII.
- Comment on Companies lower salaries in job postings as pay transparency laws take effect 6 months ago:
If you’re listing a job and no one’s applying at the price point, you’re advertising below market wages. If you’re paying your senior employees less than your new hires, you’re paying them below market wages. What a company wants to pay is not market wages: the laws of supply and demand dictate what market wages are. The wage that will interest quality workers is the wage that the market is actually dictating.
- Comment on Companies lower salaries in job postings as pay transparency laws take effect 6 months ago:
“While they were being very competitive externally, they were threatening internal equity and internal incentives,” Pollak said. “There needs to be some [salary] growth year after year to keep people around and to keep them engaged.”
Translation: “If we advertise at market rates, our employees might figure out they’re all being underpaid.”
- Comment on Companies lower salaries in job postings as pay transparency laws take effect 6 months ago:
If they don’t come across to the existing people? It will be a riot and a mass exodus.
No shit. Maybe you should pay your staff market wages?
- Comment on Why not just let people use opioids? It's cheap. People like it. Arguably healthier than weed, alcohol or tobacco. Addiction isn't an issue if you can stay supplied. 6 months ago:
You missed one: Chasing a bigger high.
When people start dying of opioid overdoses, addicts tend to seek those suppliers out.
