Eh, the subtext in 2 and 3 is neat but the first movie is by far the best. It sets up a premise and concludes it beautifully and doesn't get too big for its britches. I still enjoy some of the over the top moments from 2 and 3 but there's definitely a leap and I'm not sure the pay off is as good as the first film.

I mean was there any doubt that what happened to the CEO was murder? Like whether or not it was justified it still was murder. I'm not shedding a tear for it though, too busy reflecting on the thousands dead from his denial of healthcare.

The issue I take is that when we abstract murder by a few degrees then we just call it business. The CEO can sign a form that will result in the deaths of 1500 people and it's fine but you hire a hitman and you're guilty. At what point is the line drawn?

If I construct a rube goldberg machine that results in a gun being fired then am I responsible? What if that machine drops a pachinko puck that results in the gun being fired 50% of the time? What if I muck about with someone's food and increase their risk of cancer by 4%?

This is a genuine question I'd love an answer to.

You just gotta remember that they're proportional to population. 1000 upvotes on a larger community may be equivalent to 25 on a small one.

Also on Lemmy upvotes don't accumulate on your account like they do on reddit so they don't mean dick in the long run.

I remember. A few voices amongst the cacophony whined but we both know they all fell in line and voted for him in 2020 and then again in 2024.

Ah ok yeah I can see that now!

Nah right wingers don't give a shit about purity testing. Evangelicals don't give a shit that Trump isn't a Christian nor do Nazis care that Cruz is a mexican-Canadian. If you're pushing in their direction thats all they care about.

Purity testing is a uniquely leftist problem and it's part of why it's so damn hard for the left to organise and accomplish anything ourselves much less appeal to the broader public.

The FBI has literally exploited this to destabilize activist orgs since the 50s with COINTELPRO and likely long before that.

Even beyond this, the person of the year isn't an accolade or appraisal; it's supposed to be the person who influenced the world by the largest margin in a given year. Trump's a rapist piece of shit but there's no doubting his name has probably been used more often than Smith in the last 12 months.

I don't get it? It couldn't have been Luigi. He was busy working at a Jay St. Videogames all day.

A local distillery makes a garlic vodka that I really want to try in a caesar!

I think it was google that fucked it up. The newest (as of a long time back) version of Android broke it and I had to install a separate app to get ACR working again. And it never recorded their end properly unless I was on speaker or their side was somehow audible through my mic. So stupid.

IIRC they had outsourced to a contractor and that contractor was using imperial
