Already do! We support every project we use with roughly equivalent "license fees" to what we'd pay to non-FOSS.

All good! Up until the twist I really did enjoy the movie. It's well shot, it just kind of felt like a betrayal at the time.

I absolutely love horror movies and have a few lined up from the last thread to watch next. Hell House LLC, Lake Mungo, Longlegs, The Blackcoats Daughter, Color out of Space, Mandy, and the two most recent VHS movies are on the docket before the end of the month.

I don't know if it's the one you're thinking of, but this guy does motion comic stuff and makes fun of superheroes:

I had to go look them up, but it seems that some have protested manufacturing plants, though not in a terribly effective way. The protests seem to be short-term, and none of the other things I mentioned have been done anywhere I was able to find.

I've seen plenty of stories involving protests uselessly blocking main thoroughfares however.

But there definitely are though. Why wouldn't you, say, protest the factories where these things are made? Not just hold up some signs outside, but blockade those businesses in.

Maybe find out who their major shareholders are and publicly shame them. Dig up dirt on them. Do anything you can to stop them.

Maybe find the neighbourhoods that those shareholders live in and blockade those.

Protest at the schools that their children go to letting them know their parents are murdering people overseas.

It took me like 3 minutes to think of those and those are far more effective than what is going on in this news story. Are protesters in America really that short-sighted but they can't think of anything better than annoying other normal people and making enemies?

This is like protesting the food in a prison cafeteria by beating the shit out of your cellmate, and then calling him complicit because he ate food yesterday.

They're not targeting the right people, they're simply turning normal people off of their message.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyria

If the image is true at all, the year mentioned is about 200 years prior to Assyria even being formed. This closely coincides with one of the pre-Assyrian collapse (or massive shift) periods where the society changed a great deal.

Hence "as we know it."

I do. It's not enough.

No-discussion downvoters are a massive problem here moreso than any other site I've ever used.

With 400 permutations of "Fuck this clown" and "how can I block mentions of him" in the comments.

Unfortunately, shitty billionaires make the news. Get rid of billionaires and they won't be in the news.

If I may ask, what would you be running if you had to pick today?

[-] AceTKen@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

There was no judgment being made. I simply restated what you had said in a slightly sarcastic style.

A judgment would be "What you were asking is painfully stupid and therefore maybe you're too dumb to actually go to college."

There's a substantial difference.

I was getting issues with Jerboa doing the same thing. It took like a week of using it. My upvotes and downvotes would also not register nor was I able to comment sometimes. I had to uninstall and I am now using Connect instead.

Holy shit, I am experiencing this issue right now and didn't know it was a common problem.
