He’s one of many celebs known for having close ties to Diddy so those skeletons will be coming out of the closet soon enough.

Yeah I agree. Maybe Solarpunk is meant to be a “niche” genre . It was definitely not meant to be defined by executives at Disney. Much like Anarchism it works as an ideal that can’t be rushed into the “mainstream”. I do agree smaller indie projects are the way to bring the ideas and genre codifications to a wider audience and more fitting with decentralization. There’s definitely a demand for those stories and projects or we wouldn’t be here

I was thinking the same thing. Going “mainstream” would rob it of its meaning and subversion in a way that punk isn’t supposed to be mainstream so much as an ideal working to counteract “mainstream” values

Thank you for a reading the article and responding with substance from it that considers what it says instead of being dismissive. These projects are far from perfect.

They can argue against the employer’s claim and prove they weren’t fired for cause. My former employer lied to unemployment and and it worked in my favor. Either way they can appeal a decision and should start consulting attorneys immediately.

Is this question rhetorical? Articles are shared for discussion but I didn’t write the article or its headline

Different century. We’re in the 21st century. Robocop came out in the 80s which was the 20th

District 9 is mentioned as one of the director’s other films

I brought up fame to reassert her desire to be just like everyone else which I believe you misunderstood. Please don’t lash out and make this personal when this is a place for open discussion. I have heard your opinion and I disagree. I am not saying what is allowed, that’s a moderator’s job, so much as asking for a clear discussion on the topic brought up. No need to further it by throwing insults back and forth

Your first sentence is true but not really relevant to this thread. As another commenter pointed out, it’s possible she doesn’t have the most articulated politics. To expect or assume otherwise is to put her on a pedestal.

I’m aware of the context. I still disagree. This is a person who’s been struggling because of the impact of fame on her personal life and been begging to be treated like a regular person and I think putting her on a pedestal by assuming she’s a political expert or pundit isn’t honoring that. She gave her answer. That’s all.

That’s a valid interpretation although not an objective one or one I share given the rest of her delivery and vague discussion of “policies” .

She referred to the Democratic Party as “The Left” which makes it pretty hard to take any political commentary from her too seriously.

As a moderator of this community I need to remind you that non-constructive personal criticisms like this are inappropriate and go against the ethics and guidelines of this instance, let alone Lemmy. Honestly.

Thanks for clarifying that. That publication can be prone to clickbait style headlines it seems but they also publish some good information overall and I thought it was worth noting

Yeah, true in many cases. The post was about Cameron so that’s the only director I’m addressing at the moment but the industry is definitely filled with people using their “art” to excuse their bad and often abusive behavior like you said. There’s a lot of very concentrated power to abuse.

Cameron has an awful reputation for how he treats people on set and you really see it start to come out here pretty quickly . He’s hostile and dismissive the moment any criticism is mentioned whether it be from Roland Emerich when he tells the reporter to “move on”, proving the “overbearing” criticism right, or that anyone who criticizes his transfers as needing to “move out of mom’s basement”. His films are often awe-inspring but he’s been called “a nightmare to work with” and “autocratic” on set.

Cool! It would be nice to hear directly from them about their research and how this instance fits into it but at least we have the their results and this interview to give an overall perspective.

While it uses water for cooling, it says nothing about adding moisture to the air. It does mention removing moisture from the air, though

Blue Frontier’s cooling units pass a stream of air over a thin layer of the desiccant, which pulls moisture out of the air. That dry air is then used in an evaporative cooling process (similar to the way sweat cools your skin).

I’m sorry for misreading your comment. Seeing un-constructive comments elsewhere probably prejudiced me. These are definitely upsetting statistics and those feelings are valid. Good news is they’re only inevitable if we allow them to be so hopefully we can influence others to take action as individuals for collective change and liberation.
