The point was to not worship these people. The point was driven better in the book, the movie was more anti-capitalist than the book.

psion1369@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone else kind of disgusted at the waste created by going out to eat?3·1 month agoIf you think what you have to throw out as the consumer is wasteful, take a look in the kitchens of these places and tell me that it’s any better. Most foods that have to be prepped in advance must be separated by single-use parchment/wax paper, then wrapped in plastic. When ready to use, use a glove for a few uses to take the prepped food out of the wrap, remove the paper separating it all, and chuck it out. It could have been prepped a week ago, or only two hours ago for fresh use, you still throw out all this paper and plastic wrapping. And then the cleaning, there is an inexcusable amount of paper towel used for various purposes, from drying your hands to wiping a counter/table, etc. And it’s all thrown out. Some restaurants will use towels and kitchen rags, but then you have so many to wash and clean, it’s usually done by a third-party service that has to drive to pick it all up, drive to a central laundry stop, do the laundry, and then drive it all back to get done again. And if you are in a place that has a washing machine in-house, it’s a drop in the bucket in solving real waste issues.

Word replacement is fine and dandy, just don’t have a physical reaction to moist. I have seen people like that and made me lose respect for them.
- I haven’t been to Taco Bell in a minute.
- My wife and I stay at Street Rd.
The second one I get the closer I am to inner city areas. The first I have been hearing more in suburban areas and outside of the inner city regions that it originated.
There are certain things people say that should be banned:
- When saying that you haven’t done or seen something in a while, don’t say “a minute” instead. I will ask what happened sixty seconds ago and make you a fool.
- When talking about where you live, you don’t “stay at”, you live at a place.
- And being afraid of the word “moist” makes you sound like a toddler who doesn’t want a bath.
- One more, “amaze-balls” and “automagic” are not words and make you sound like a toddler who doesn’t want a bath.

psion1369@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Those of you that have negative sentiments towards AI: What would you want to happen right now?14·2 months agoI want disclosure. I want a tag or watermark to let people know that AI was used. I want to see these companies pay dues for the content used in the similar vein that we have to pay for higher learning. And we need to stop calling it AI as well.
I figured they could have done two more seasons with everything that was jammed into those three mini-movies. Could you imagine how funny it would have been to see the witches in human school? Dealing with everything that is boring and getting a detention only to discover it’s just sitting on your ass?

Trying to just change the whole system at once is just an excuse for not making the small changes that move the needle.
Time to listen to the Boss.

Will museums have to cloak statues of naked people? Remove a renaissance era painting because of boobs? How about a movie that has tasteful nudity? Or just ads for Victoria Secret?
I wished to be a young man surrounded by cheap pussy. Now I’m ten and have thirty stray cats.
I have once warmed my balls.
psion1369@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is the NFL draft day so "special"?3·3 months agoIt matters to sponsors. Big companies pay money to have their name slapped on everything, and then huge amount of marketing to ensure the max audience size means many more eyes in the sponsors crap. The NFL makes a killing on these sponsored events, so they will drive up the engagement wherever they are. And since sports matter to many Americans, this needs to REALLY SUPER matter.
I agree, who cares about teams picking players except for the players?
I am asking this more out of curiosity than criticism, but how would you deal with someone who is emotionally unavailable, shows signs of childhood abuse, but treats you pretty fairly?
So, anyone else think trump might have taken his daughter to that asshole?
