Thanks for the explanation and additional context, that helps put things into perspective a bit more. I understand that they want a different kind of monetary reward from streaming, hopefully they can get their deal eventually.

I suppose, except happy hour gives it a bit more of a positive spin. People like getting discount way more than having to pay more. They could've definitely handled this one better.

Also, having people pay more at peak hours is potentially going to shift when people start drinking. Day drinkers will most likely become more common that way.

How do you know they're able to? Looking at Disney as a specific case, they've lost over 1 billion on their movies in the past 2 years and are constantly bleeding subscribers. On top of that there's also some persistent rumors that they got caught up in the whole FTX debacle and lost a bunch of money on that as well.

Also, as a quick aside: what would you consider to be fair to their workers? The wages I've heard being mentioned sounded pretty insane to me already, especially compared to other jobs.

I'm really curious how these strikes will end. It feels like they've been going on for a long time and at a bad time for the studios as well, judging by how many movies are bombing at the moment + the streaming subscriber numbers. I'm just not sure if the studios will be able to ever meet the demands the strike is asking for, it feels like they're stuck in a downward spiral...

Also, from what I've heard here and there it sounds like they have some pretty crazy demands (something about a minimum writers room size of 8 or 10?) which are going to make it hard to ever come to an agreement, especially if those writers also need to be paid in full.

Looks pretty cool, it's interesting to see how fast drones have developed in the last 10 years

Or, you know... get a job in IT as a programmer? There's plenty of work out there in IT at the moment.

Seems logical imo. With the bigger companies working towards profits more and more over being the "family" companies they once were the workers need more power to push back. This maybe wasn't needed as much 50 years back but nowadays the Amazons and Teslas of our world try to squeeze their workers for everything they can.

Besides the amount of content (and the occasional server issues) on Lemmy I haven't missed anything about Reddit after switching.

I mean, Andor was good but you'd need multiple of those shows a year to actually stay subbed. You can just sub for a month, binge Andor and then unsub. I wish other (Star Wars) content was as good.

I'm not sad that he's gone but I kinda hoped he'd take out Putin with him. Shame he didn't push on 2 months ago, he really seemed to have Putin by the balls at that point. Oh well, guess Putins time will still come at some point.

Also, how incredibly dumb of them to put the entire leadership group of their mercenary army in 1 plane. Made them a real nice target for Putin to hit.

Has it been confirmed that he was one of the victims? From what I could see I the news here they haven't found his body yet.

It's the standard Blizzard approach to do that, they used to do the same thing in WoW. I hope they do look at how many times someone's done it. If they've only done it once (or maybe twice), maybe just give them a warning. If more, then consider banning them.

It definitely depends on the country you're visiting. The tube trains (and stations) in Paris are generally pretty gross but when I was in Copenhagen recently I was surprised by how clean everything was over there.

I think the only way he'll retire is in a coffin or if he gets confined to a hospital, otherwise they'll keep him going somehow.

I mean, Disney appears to be well on it's way if the news is to be believed.

If this is really the case, then where are the movies that are intended for older audiences? It feels like almost all movies are for a younger target audience nowadays (if that's what you want to call it). You can argue that Oppenheimer is one but besides that there haven't been many big movies for older audiences this year.

I've always thought it would be fun to give them all the same car and see who would win, just for an event or something. Now it's RB dominating, before it was Mercedes. But with the same car it would really be Verstappen VS Hamilton.

Speaking as a Dutch person, our infrastructure just isn't made for cars this size. People basically need to enlarge their driveways to park something like this. So if you need to park a car like this it's almost impossible. That would stop most people from getting one, except the type of person that does buy one...
