Villeneuve has been really disappointing. He was good with smaller, more gritty stuff but isn’t a good epic director.

(Also no to ownership. All the offices are leased.)

Lol no I wish!

I swear to god we just had all our leases expire and chose to renew ALL OF THEMMMM.

In fact, for the main office we’ve just signed a new multi-year lease in a new building. It’s smaller tho. Renovations currently in progress.

But no raises. Times are too tough.

Ugh I really want to out the company I work at. Of all companies we should be going and advocating for remote.

But we aren’t. ‘Because being with each is SO valuable’.

Some actual low-res examples:

A little less than the last big one I went to, but not bad. Several thousand people for sure. Critical mass during the walk. The large majority of people bail during the end speeches.

I went to one on Friday (not NY) AMA

Overrated. The real perk is learning how to not eat it all at once

Is there a word for it? When I posted it I was hoping someone might correct me :)

It’s more that the US is all about personal liberty and personal freedoms. Other places that you’re referring to have a charter of rights, which still allow for personal freedoms but are also constructed to protect minorities or at risk groups, like Jewish people.

That said the Bill of Rights that the Americans produced was first of it’s kind and amazing. Personally I just don’t think they got it quite right and charter of rights take into account the personal liberties of all people and not just the dominant majority.

It was built for rich republicans and now it’s home to their base.

Could it handle doing that all day? That would so cool, but aren’t there thermal limitations?

I would shocked if apple tried breaking into console wars.

I’ll even be surprised if any of the handhelds other than steamdeck + switch survive the decade.

Since I read that this isn’t an existential threat I’m feeling much more at ease, much less open to catastrophic outcomes and the narrative that we should throw our hands in the air and give up.

Some damning stuff in that report.

It just happened and was in the news so shouldn’t be hard to find if you have the nagging curiousities

I feel like you don’t actually know that and it’s just your opinion.

A festival shooing away protestors protesting climate change and then that festival experiencing an extreme weather event because of climate change

This is the one I’m thinking of. Love the concept. Potential challenge is that in Canada things, in particular, shipping is expensive. I’m pretty broke right now so my inclination is to save money over the long run and not be wasteful.

I’m not a phone person though. Useful device but not something that takes up much of my day to day time.

Not yet but one day. If I could get a phone and keep it for 20 years (with repairs/upgraded parts) then I’d switch.

If apple removes the plug then i’ll start considering the other options when my current phone becomes unusable. Until then it’s too easy to buy an old iphone and hold onto it for 6 years.
