I've found lemmy to be the single most toxic malicious place on the internet I've ever been and every time I post I literally cringe waiting for the horde to attack. I'm probably closing my account soon tbh because I can't take it anymore. For the record I like being wrong because it means I'm about to learn something new. But around here I was expecting fifty downvotes and a bunch of replies saying FUCK YOU CORPORATE BOOTLICKER SCUM, words to that effect.
Not sure if we should start lining up to blow him quite yet about this kind of issue. But I'm not familiar enough to fully comment. I'm sure lemmings will line up to tell me why I'm wrong about this..
I saw the original John carpenter version at a friends house at ~2am after a rare night out drinking with some old college buddies in town. My friend has a big HD projector and sound system in his house and when everyone heard I'd never seen the thing it was instantly agreed that's what we are doing later. I had absolutely no idea what to expect and was blown the fuck away!
Then I got all excited a few weeks ago when I saw the thing was on Netflix so I could see it again. Then I realized it was the recent remake from idk 2012 maybe? Watched five minutes of it and ragequit, then paid $3 to see it on Prime.
Being John Malkovich is easily one of the weirdest most different interesting movies I've ever seen. The writer, Charlie Kaufman, also wrote Eternal Sunshine, another great one.
Adaptation is worth watching too, with Nicolas Cage playing two roles, based on the book The Orchid Thief by Susan Orleans.
I switched to iced coffee years ago for precisely this reason and never looked back. I'd rather have watered down coffee than sit there for half an hour waiting for it to cool. I have an ice tray for big cubes that don't melt as fast, so I freeze coffee in them. That way I don't water down my coffee at home and it's perfect.
Pi can be rounded. It's infamously difficult to compute externalities in any meaningful sense. Even more difficult to implement a fair and actionable policy for it. You can google "accounting for externalities" and read a bunch f articles and academic papers on the subject, which has been debated for decades.
Beyond fines for dumping chemicals in rivers, and carbon taxes, etc, stronger EPA, etc, I don't really have any good ideas for codifying a real actual plan into law. Probably easier to raise corporate tax rates up a few points from 21% to whatever and use it to fund green energy and cleanup projects etc, rather than change accounting methods to try and capture the costs that way.
It's really incredible how many savage assholes there are around here. My theory is they're bots designed to encourage engagement by enraging us. It's pretty effective.
Come back when you can codify your point into something that can actually be recorded on a balance sheet and P&L. Until then it's not even wrong, it's just..word salad..
Yup, there it is 🙄
