That's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

The article now has 15 ways. Some are valid complaints, some are nonsense, almost none are actually about it aging poorly.

Their list

  1. No female main characters interact throughout the trilogy
  2. It is implied that every orc and goblin is evil
  3. Frodo's reunion with the Fellowship is ultimately underwhelming
  4. The movies lack diversity
  5. The story takes a while to get started
  6. Some main characters lack agency
  7. The heroes seem invincible
  8. Some characters show up momentarily
  9. Certain visual effects look clunky
  10. Elijah Wood's acting in some scenes is awkward
  11. It will inevitably be rebooted
  12. The Hobbit trilogy condenses the timeline of the LOTR trilogy
  13. Important scenes are missing in the theatrical cuts
  14. Major characters like Tom Bombadil and Glorfindel are cut from the films
  15. Return of the King fades out four separate times

I feel like some of the hate for Microsoft products is disproportionate, like people are looking for things to dislike and ignoring the weak aspects of rival products or equivalent FOSS software, but this really is indefensibly egregious and greedy.

JWST: Yup, the Universe is expanding weirdly in c/[email protected]
[–] egrets 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

JWST is the 2021 James Webb Space Telescope, if, like me, you're not plugged into this stuff.

Excerpt:

It’s looking more and more like the universal expansion was different when it was young than it is now. When it was young it was denser, galaxies were closer together, and conditions were just different. We know that dark energy plays a huge role here, causing the expansion to speed up, but how it does that isn’t clear.

you would’ve known that processed vegan food products are not the only alternatives

I think you should give them the benefit of the doubt in this instance – they could be dumb as a rock.

The documentary book of the same name by ~~Ron Swanson~~ ~~Ron Jonson~~ Jon Ronson that inspired this movie is excellent -- as is the Psychopath Test and everything else I've read of his.

On iOS I use Every Door (simple, based on adding additional info to existing places) or Go Map! (fully-fledged editor). They're both a little rough around the edges, but they're fair solid.

I really hate this meme template. Executives are responsible for their company's decisions, but Arthur Fleck is not a role model.

Agreed. I mean, it's just a mullet, but you're not wrong.
