I did watch the video. It's why I asked. Anyone can say they are a consultant, and he doesn't really mention much to back that claim. He doesn't say anything novel either.
I'm not trying to be hypercritical, but if someone says that they are a credible source I want to know why.
Who is this guy and why should I care what he says?
Edit: Since no one could answer it. He's an indie developer and made a few games. Silver Falls, Clasherball, and Animelee. He also says he's a consultant, based on the video, but I couldn't find anything of him doing that.
So he's slightly a step above a regular guy making some video complaining.
Macroeconomics 101 would tell you no, prices won't go down because prices are sticky. Like your salary for example, just because a business is doing poorly your wage won't go down.
I won't get into the weeds about it, but if Ukraine was magically restored tomorrow, prices wouldn't go down but it would help prices from going up faster.
If we see prices go down that's a bad thing, and we are in for a rough time.
I agree. I typically skip sex scenes in movies. Those scenes very seldom add anything to the story imo.
Unless it makes sense. In "What Women Want" with Mel Gibson, I believe that is a great example of a sex scene adding to the movie. The whole premise is him reading women's minds, so him having sex with Marisa Tomei and hearing their thoughts while in the act added to the premise.
So when I see a movie that is just like "hey these people are hot and we should film them go at it" is just boring imo.
Welcome to Lemmy! If you thought Reddit was left leaning, you're in for a wild ride!
Also if you're an American you probably shouldn't be, because they automatically assume you're from the Bible belt. They will simultaneously say they don't care for American politics but then will always be talking about it.
Linux is the best OS just don't get into it. You better be using firefox. All the niche subs you had on Reddit aren't here, and you'll more likely just be blocking communities instead of subbing to anything.
And no one reads the articles, way more than reddit imo
The comments are slightly more interesting though.
It's not all that bad though, I'm being a little sarcastic, but only a little...
Whenever I see something like this I feel I must defend my friend who's a cop.
Before being a cop he was a lifeguard at a beach and my bassist.
Baywatch may tell you differently, but being a lifeguard is a seasonal job, and not a career. The next level of being a lifeguard is becoming a cop, so he did, and he has only beaten one black man so far.
It's fairly insane that from Romford to Sutton which is only 30 miles, it's roughly an hour and 45 minutes.
I just went to the Wiltern in downtown LA last night and it's about the same distance as Romford to Sutton from where I live, and without traffic, it takes 40 minutes, with traffic an hour.
Well it's still JLo. If you aren't much a fan you won't be too impressed. Imo she can be fairly one directional in her movies.
That said, when I watch a movie that has heavy CGI I try and take a step back throughout the movie from all the special effects and evaluate an actors performance.
Ya ok sounds pretentious, but I try to imagine the environment they are in when acting. It's basically nothing but a green box, with someone off to the side reading lines.
If they can give a fairly believable performance I'm impressed, because we see all the special effects, editing, direction and production. The actor has to imagine it, and hope they don't look like a dumbass in post.
