Less CGI is just invisible CGI Hollywood consistently lies about the amount of visual effects used. If it is done well, as it mostly is in a movie like this, it isn't too distracting so I don't know why they lie about it.
We tried guys, really we did. The vibe coding was working but it was sabotaged by liberals and Canadians. The only option is to end social security and put the poor and elderly into workhouses or send them to the shower blocks.
Also there is a fair amount of ignorance. Australian unions have worked with the ALP for decades to ensure entitlements for Australian workers in these circumstances and Labor passed the FEG legislation.
We get it, the mining lobby and billionaires are a corrupting influence on democracy including the ALP. The ALP aren't left enough, aren't proactive enough, whatever. But also the ALP has passed a lot of legislation that benefits working Australians and unsurprisingly you hear fuck all about it from MSM or people pushing minor parties and independents.
When these companies can't pay entitlements it isn't the Liberal party, Greens or independents that legislated to ensure workers aren't going to be completely fucked.
Can't understand why anyone would play the lottery crossing US borders when you have schengen access to a huge variety of cultures, food and history at your doorstep. Europeans are so damn lucky.
I have eaten a servo pie/convenience store about twice in my life and always with regret. Haven't lived in the city for a couple of decades now but don't people have local bakeries and delis anymore? If not that is really sad.
There is a certain type of man that always dismisses women as too emotional for leadership/management/politics then proceeds to explode at the slightest provocation.
Being emotional isn't always a bad thing. Expressing it isn't always bad. But have some fucking self awareness.
Just read an article by Jericho that shows excise on spirits (eg rum and whisky) raised twice as much as the PRRT. Beer isn't far behind. What an absolute joke with current gas demand.
They should add labelling to all alcoholic beverages, "you are funding schools and hospitals because rich cunts own your government"
Waiting for Canonical to up sell proprietary utils features by subscription. Ubuntu's regular release cycles were brilliant in 2004 when there weren't a lot of alternatives but why does it still exist?
Trump supporters don't know what a province or territory is. They have probably heard of states even if they can't name many. Making Canada one state minimises the true size and strength of Canada to them. It only makes sense when you consider the audience.
Many men and women are prone to being dominated and controlled by others. Their insecurities demand simple ideologies and a found family to stand by them. It makes them susceptible to manipulation.
Men have been targetted because fascism requires bullies to intimidate the people and maintain the power of the state. However woman also play an important role as informers, cheerleaders and domestic slaves. Remember it is subservience all the way down. Women might be subservient to their men but the men are all subservient to their leaders. Freedom of thought or action can not be tolerated.
The susceptible people exist. Networks exist to target then. Rich and powerful people exist. It's inevitable that these things would come together. What isn't inevitable is that the rest of us would welcome them in without resistance. That part is fucking weird.
Clearly there is lots of corruption and waste in China but I am not sure how much it would be tolerated when national ambitions are at stake and spaceflight is fairly adjacent to national security. I could be wrong. The US clearly wasted a lot of opportunities and several decades.
The first woman in space was Soviet. The first North American of African or latino descent was a Cuban who flew with the Soviets. You get the picture. I'm no tankie. As bad as authoritarian commies are and as much as those were PR stunts to shame the US on the world stage, the US preferred to exclude they own citizens based on misogyny and racism than shield themselves from international criticism.
Human spaceflight is all about the optics as there isn't much practical benefit. The optics the US was sending in the 60s was of clean cut military white men being sent to the moon by Nazi scientists and the majority was just fine with that.
Not sure that China will beat the US to the moon. They are making a lot of steady progress in spaceflight and technology in general and without the politics and waste we have seen for decades hampering US spaceflight. But even with the gap China has to make up I don't think it is unrealistic to expect the first woman on the moon will be Chinese now.
I wasn't aware of FASFA. I just looked at the distribution of funds by state and it looks like this is an overwhelming loss for red states, far worse than I expected.
I know the US is fucking weird politically and culturally but anywhere else I would say if MAGA don't accelerate the transition from populism to authoritarianism they are leaving the door open to an alternative populist movement to give them a real thrashing in their heartland.
This sounds like some horrendous Taliban level shit but living in a federal system myself (Australia), k-12 education is primarily a state responsibility here as I believe it is in the US. I wouldn't want to see this happen in my own country but it wouldn't be the same as closing down the department of education in an unfederated country like New Zealand or most European nations where it would be disastrous.
Inconsistencies between states here (Australia) used to negatively impact students moving between states and entering tertiary education. Federal systems can be grossly inmeficient and full of duplication and barriers between states.
Unfortunately not having national standards is probably going to increase economic disadvantage in already disadvantaged red states which will only increase division in the US.
The tech sector has a massive diversity problem. Lots of young men raised with one hand on their dick watching porn while reading libertarian propaganda. I get why vulture capitalists want naive, manipulable children running their businesses but I wish real adults were in charge.
I have left multiple platforms that don't offer parental controls, family sharing etc. Fortunately better alternatives exist to all these platforms.
As a older man and father I think these people are pathetic little children and I avoid shitty commercial social media in my house and around my family. Unfortunately they are still having a devastating impact on society.
Don't carry digital data across any border, even if encrypted. Many countries have totally different standards over search and seizure at their borders to when you have gained entry and sometimes far worse for non citizens.
