Basically they’ve bought into the idea that the West, neoliberal capitalists to the core, is the root of all evils, so the leaders opposing the West must be good. Unfortunately, the enemy of my enemy isn’t my friend when it comes to geopolitics.

Do you need color? Do you need scanning beyond using a scanner app from your iPhone (I use Scanner Pro and it’s worth every penny)? You may be okay with a really good B&W laser, ik which case I can more than recommend a Brother. That said, if you need color, I recently bought a Brother color laser printer and no joke, it’s a tank.

It’s not a multifunction printer but when I unboxed it, it weighed noticeably more than the multifunction color laser printer it replaced. Five months in, it’s quick, quiet, and I have no regrets spending the extra money over an Epson inkjet or a lesser laser printer. Oh, and it does duplex, so I use less paper. I legitimately think the case of paper I bought a couple of years ago is the last printer paper I’ll ever buy, and I expect this printer might be the same.

There used to be a stylized “Mid Atlantic” accent that many actors developed and the news at the time would use the same accent. With more modern movies, there was a move to actors with regional accents of their own, as well as a change in the way acting stopped emphasizing “projecting” their voices so the people in the back of the theater could hear them. Since movie audio is all recorded and mixed digitally, any lines that didn’t record well just get ADRed.

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

Lemmy is methodone or saboxin compared to the tainted heroin that is Reddit.

This is sarcasm, right? You might want to use a “/s” tag because tone is hard to parse in written form, and Poe’s Law is in full effect.

Can you give an example? Done you mean the dialogue, soundtrack, foley…?

One of the ones I used during 2020 was a biohazard screen from Resident Evil. Another was from Rogue One, with a nice shot of the Death Star getting ready to fire. I think it set the right tone.

In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.

Finally, you could be 100% clean.

Being able to breathe underwater, no boosts to handling pressures and no talking to fish. You can’t go rescue dumb submarines, you still swim slower than any trained seal or dolphin, and cleaning the office fish tank doesn’t require swimming.

Ugh, the gerentocracy continues. Can they both just go on a submersible ride?

Biden was responsible for the law making student debt much harder to discharge under bankruptcy proceedings. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/biden-defends-vote-on-2005-law-that-made-it-harder-to-escape-student-debt-143102760.html Senator Orrin Hatch introduced the bill and thanked Biden for years of tireless support for helping write and advance the legislation.

If Trump doesn’t run in 2024, I think Biden might be a one term president; he benefited greatly from a lot of votes against Trump and not for Biden/Harris and their political histories. And if the DNC is reading this, please, do yourselves a favor, don’t run Biden, Harris, or Newsom. They’re everything wrong with the Democratic Party and offer nothing new while embodying exactly what the GOP accuses the Dems of, pandering to urban elites and at best ignoring the working class. They’re neoliberal ghouls in skin suits.
