Actors' job isn't to be as knowledgeable as a firearm consultant, hence why they hire one. The same way they trust any scene has been safely planned out before hand and the giant boulder is assumed to be fake and not a real rock, and the harnesses that suspend them weren't set up wrong so they fall and break their neck.

Tbh I don't get the hate for this model. I'd much rather be able to play these games for free and get to try them. Skin funded games mean I've played a lot of games for free, and I don't care at all about the skins (and I don't even get why people would) so I view the skins like a donation. If I really like the game I can spend a bit of money to get a skin to support them.

I've played league of legends for literally thousands of hours and never spent a cent on it. I have hundreds of hours on apex and also never spent anythings. It's way better than games where you spend like 20 dollars and then also need to spend either hundreds of hours or dollars to unlock 2/3 of the playable characters.

We gotta stop giving a fuck what the founding fathers did or wanted. They've been dead for centuries, they owned slaves and thought women couldn't vote. They couldn't even imagine drinking a baja blast or eating a pizza with fried chicken for a crust. The future is now, fuck em.

Joined in 2011, used it pretty much everyday for 12 years. Probably an average of 3+ hours per day, though I'd constantly find myself closing the app or website down just to open it back up 5 minutes later. Since the app closed down and I don't really use my desktop anymore I've just stopped using it. I will still Google questions from reddit occasionally if I can't find good answers elsewhere, but in the past 2 months I've maybe visited the site 10 times, and only for specific questions, never to browse the front page. I'd say it's been good for me overall and, I've cut down from like 3-4 hours a day on reddit to maybe an hour a day between here and lemmy.

I hoped to replace reddit with reading and while it hasn't been completely successful I have been getting like 3 hours of reading per week, which is a lot better than the like 30 minutes a week (maybe) I used to get. I also feel my attention span has gotten better. With less stuff to see I tend to actually read the majority/all of an article instead of just the headline or skimming the first few paragraphs.

So I have a paid membership at a small library (Mercantile Library) and they put on events and lectures every few weeks. I don't know if your average library would have something similar, I'm assuming many but not all would.

It was a lecture on parking, which I fully expected to be anti car but ended up not exactly being anti car so much as anti parking lots and spaces in downtown areas.

Man, I have envisioned something like this so many times. Personally, I think communal living but with everyone having at least a room that's entirely their own is the way to go. Ideally I'd imagine your personal room being somewhere between a bedroom and a living room, in terms of size. Big enough that you could have a few people over and retreat to your space away from the rest of your "community" comfortably. But I don't need my own kitchen or bathroom to be honest. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and I often think about how much if the space is wasted most of the time. I use my kitchen for maybe an hour per day. 10 single apartments could share 3 kitchens without running into issues. Even if people tend to cook at approximately the same time, if anything that would probably make parts of cooking easier (though to be fair it'd also make parts harder). 1 person can stir while the other cuts vegetables, cook 2 servings of rice once instead of each cooking their own serving and washing their own pots/rice cooker/utensils. I often end up throwing away food because as a single person it goes bad before I can use it all. I'd love to have someone use this half a bag of cheese I needed for pizzas that's gonna go bad before I get to it.
