  • Remember in the hunger games when Katniss unvolunteered and let Prim die because Snow was mean to her.

  • It probably did, but not before it got a couple sequels*. The other YA adaptations were just that bad.

    *Their ambitious part one of the final movie was a terrible decision though.

  • Probably the 2nd best YA fantasy movie adapted from a book in its era. I'll never not be disappointed by The Giver, but I think they had a hard task to accomplish. É

  • Oh my damn. I wrote it and still misread it. You're right.

  • I figured she lives somewhere expensive, but I probably should've used a different word. I just decided to Google and given that she lives in NYC the money doesn't go as far there as it would in rural West Virginia. I've known people who make 100k in NYC that live with multiple roommates.

  • I don't think we can conclude it's 0 from what she wrote. He says he pays Ashley 500k a month and a flat 2.5 million. She says he stopped paying most of it.

    I'll assume he's being less than honest because of specific credibility issues. If she's being honest, she gets 250k hard maximum a year. My guess is it's actually something like 100k. That amount, while survivable, seems very ungenerous for the richest man in the world and it's enough of a drop from 500k that you would definitely be forced to change your purchases.

    EDIT: huge error. misread per month as per year.

  • Why didn't you drop the quotes from Turing, Minsky, and Lovelace?

  • Canada to cut off electricity to US states: "Need to feel the pain"

    Jump

  • Don't put the squeeze on the voters. They either didn't vote for trump, or they were so dumb that they did vote for trump won't understand why their electric bill went through the roof.

    The whole point of democracy is the voters have an impact. If nothing changes for the voters don't be surprised when they vote for the same party next time.

  • Sarah McBride is 'mystified' that Republicans are making trans people a 'priority'

    Jump

  • Not just "see her as." I've never heard of a transwoman giving birth. I'm a huge fan of niche edge cases though and I've heard of one accidental finding of an XY, assigned female at birth person giving natural birth. This case was mentioned in research that was studying a family that had women that were experiencing hirsutism.

  • LGBT people are something like 10-20% of the population.

    It appears to be 5.5% of the population.

    The reason studios put LGBT content in movies and games is that a lot of people in the real world, aka their customers, are LGBT.

    If their population were small, disproportionate representation can still have a positive impact for awareness. That being said, I think a big reason for the representation is the percentage of people in the arts that is LGBT is greater than the general population. It would be tough making content and looking in the eyes of so many creatives while not including characters like them in stories.

    Side note:

    Maybe it's not too realistic to have a bunch of out queer characters in a drama set in Elizabethan England.

    All the recent period pieces I've seen have LGBT characters. I'm going to use this as a moment to advertise My Lady Jane. It's not an entirely accurate depiction of the story of Lady Jane Grey (for obvious reasons), but it was an entertaining show.

  • That might be your read, but it's not correct. This guy does not rationalize things the same way you would. Here are all the parts of his statement that should convince you.

    Try peaceful means first, but be prepared to fight to get the Dems out of the fed government and military by any means necessary.

    #2

    Stop obsessing over diversity. We are all diverse and DEI is a cancer. Thankfully we rejected the DEI candidate and will have a real President instead of Weekend at Bernie’s.

    #3

    Rally around the Trump, Musk, Kennedy, and ride this wave to the highest hegemony for all Americans
