sure. One can always make a better tool.

Following a negotiation between Nolan and Warner Bros. executives, the studio arranged for the film to be released in seventy countries, with a run time of 150 minutes, on August 26,[105][106][107] following preview screenings in Australia and South Korea on August 22 and 23.[108][109] The film opened in select cities in the United States on September 3, gradually expanding in the ensuing weeks.[105] On September 4, it was released in China.[110] The lack of available movies afforded it more screens per multiplex than would otherwise have been possible.[111]

them dates are before the vaccine became available. He drove a bargin as hard as he could, to get as many people to see the film as he could.

Yeah, he’s not a politican, but neither was Typhoid Mary.

you and everyone else.

Some info from the southern hemisphere : Argentinians have such gigantic egos that one of their challenges to other south americans is “¿Cuantas copas tenes?” which translates to “How many (world) cups do you have?”.

They are on the same continent as brazil. THE TEAM THAT HAS THE MOST FOOTBALL WORLD CUPS IN THE WORLD.

Denying them their fourth is fantastic. Even better, Milei can’t use this to bolster patriotism as people keep living in the realities of argentina.

Although I’m pretty certain that he is going to enjoy busting out the militarised cops for the inevitable riot in buenos aires. I’d shed a tear for the poor Fast Food establishment they keep burning to the ground, but fuck them yankee burgers.

Reminder that he didn’t give a fuck about controlling outbreaks of pre vaccine COVID and that he wanted to force people to see Tenet in cinemas.

You know, jam hundreds of people into a closed room for two and a half hours so that you can have super spreader events multiple times a day.

I watched that shit on my phone while sick in bed. Thank you for reminding me that all his films deserve the same treatment.

History. The first international match was between Scotland and England. The UK is a country made up of 4 constituent countries, thus, for some sporting events, due to previous national organisations being formed, and inertia compete separately and against each other.

This is actually to their detriment, as there have been Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish players that would have helped “the national team” but ended up in their home country’s team, like Gareth Bale or in the past, I think, George best.

It gets interesting with other sports, where N. Ireland joins with the all Ireland team.

Good news for you and Britain though, in the Olympics they compete as team GB. AFAIK the Scots contribute nicely with their curling prowess.

That is still more a problem of people and tribalism.

I don’t agree with the rest of your post particularly, but this is the central theme. People will fuck anything up and run it into the ground by virtue of being people, and groups of people fuck things up faster.

Fediverse is no silver bullet; nothing is. The monkey that touches the technology and tools is the source of their misuse, and the monkey never changes, although the tool does.

Capitalism is hell when done properly. Socialism is good when done properly.

And the inverse can also be correct then, which is my entire point, although I word it more that any system can work correctly if the right people make the right decisions.

I mean… Your chosen name is “postmate dumbass” why did you take offence?

it’s almost as if systems are tools that can be used for good or for evil, and have been invented to deal with certain problems, and can cause others of their own making, necessitating new tools to replace them and fix the problems they created.

you’re right on a surface level; no software is bug free.

The issue I’m trying to bring forth is that the existing software is already a legacy piece of software with existing issues. Trying to extend said piece of software to do even more will make the existing issues worse AND introduce new issues.

Posting a screenshot, because it’s a live story and the BBC might change the title as the story develops

Great quality posting standards, good job

You’re posting a bit too soon.

EDIT : And I say this as someone hoping france wins and is a full time english football team hater.

I guess what I mean here is that they can just update the old one

The old ones are still riddled with bugs. Trying to update them would exasperate the problems

Ok, but when you do that as a stereotype you aren’t empathizing with them, you are reinforcing the stereotype of them in your head.

Your ideas, and some in this thread are quite neat.

One thing to bear in mind when working with systems is that you need to use the right tool for the right problem, and to use people tools for people problems and technical tools for technical problems.

This is a people problem.

One of the things that have been successful is branching communities; a good example on lemmy is linux.

There are communities specifically for linux shitposts and memes and easy communication. There are ones for news. There are ones for noobs. And there are ones for discussion of linux in general.

This way, you have easy shit that doesn’t drown out the main idea, while still feeding back into and out of the main idea.

However, this can lead to mod burnout if too many people leak into the wrong area with the wrong posts.

Something that might work nicely is to allow the user to set up ratios of how often they want to see stuff from whichever theme/variation on that theme. 30% news, 20% memes, 50% general discussion.

Or they can set it to 90% memes and 10% general discussion, and see stuff that’s different.

this whole thing sounds like desert camel music.

Don’t worry, you don’t need to watch the whole thing. He repeats his point multiple times :

Basically, by catering to generic ideas instead of authentic ones, you are being robbed of cultural exposure and reinforcing biases and simple perspectives you have instead of growing.

Yeah, when someone does a stereotypical accent you associate with something, it conforms more to your ideas of how your language sounds when made by a foreigner. It doesn’t make you understand what the accent actually sounds like, and WHY it sounds that way. It’s nice for you, because it panders to you, instead of treating you like an adult.

Also, it’s disingenuous to bring french accents into this, since the main problem is that the stereotypes being presented of ethnic minorities are often used to ridicule them, and deny them prosperity. That’s the difference, the french guy is ,moving from one well of place to the next and people aren’t going to deny him promotions or whatever. However, to Indian people, or children of Indians, patterns of bullying and marginalisation still exist and are exasperated by the stereotypes.

blocks some pathways to empathy.

explain how, postmate Dumbass.

Ahh yes Apu who is literally the hardest working person (besides Smithers)

It’s reinforcing a stereotype. Apu was an interesting character when they expanded him, but he dealt with a lot of stereotypes and had a white guy voicing a fairly stereotypical guy.

Hank Azaria (or whoever it is voicing him) is cool with it, maybe check out his perspective

Then you have no content, no reason to use, no network effects. People get bored and leave
