Huffman isn't clueless, he's a liar. He selectively remembers thing, the man is a snake who has somehow managed to fail upwards into the position he is currently in. Even Pao was preferable, as she at least believed in what she was doing. Spez just does whatever gets him paid.

I am fully willing to admit half the reason it's so popular on the news is the novelty of it. A submarine goes missing, possibly sunk, near the Titanic? The truth is the accidents iwth immigrants and migrants happen so often that most of the media doesn't really care about it so much any more. But it used to, I remember seeing stuff about bodies washing up on the shores of Italy. When it was novel is was more popular and 'sold' well so it was reported on. i guarantee you if subs went missing anywhere near as often in the future you would not see as much about it. That's just how the media works these days, it's unfortunate.

Billionaires or not I don't envy them and if they can be saved I hope they will be. Especially the young guy there with his father.

We live in a dark world where we got stuck with Ohanian and Huffman, and not Swartz

Vergeben mich für mein deutsch, weil ich nicht meine muttersprache. Ich habe nicht so viel deutsch in die letzen funf jahre sprechen oder lesen. Aber ich finde, dass das internet freier war. Ich war ein kind damals. Ich wusste nicht, das reddit existiert. Ich habe in Foren gestörbert. Zentraliserung hat viele vorteile und nachteilie. Es is einfacher für alles in ein einziger ort bleiben. Aber es ist schweriger diesen 'einziger ort' zu verlassen. Für viele leute, wir sind allem gefangen. Ich misse die Freiheit mehr als Annehmlichkeit von Zentraliserung .

You're being downvoted because people don't understand you're not talking about "far left" like some Trumper. You mean literal tankies, which absolutely yes some of the Lemmy Devs are as well as Lemmy.ml. It's also a reason I selected Kbin.

I am trying to understand Prigozhin's actual thoughts on this. Wagner have been directly under Putin's thumb for the longest time. He was arguably one of if not Putin's closest ally. They were working in the Donbas when Wagner was formed in 2014. Most of his time since then has been spent working for Putin or having Wagner involved in the fights the Russians wanted supported in the Global South.

He's been incredibly critical of the war, and weirdly distant from Putin for a while since the Invasion started last year. Wagner's numbers were swelling with new men often seemingly press-ganged from convicts. He commits war crimes both against his own men, killing of deserters, and Wagner does so against Ukraine. And yet in the same breath he criticises the direction of the war and praises Ukrainian resistance such as in Bakhmut.

He seems to have a feud with the Russian Defense Minister Shoigu, he has often feuded and complained about Wagner receiving a lack of support from the Russian MoD. He complains that the elites of Russia are not toiling and bleeding in Ukraine and instead sending volunteers and conscripts to do the same.

A cursory read on the man's background says he spent 9 years in detention for stealing and fraud. I honestly would not be surprised if that time he spent there is why he is so fond of recruting convicts as he feels some camaraderie with them.

It seems to me this mutiny is three things combined. Genuine dissatisfaction and perhaps anger with the war in Ukraine, even when his loyalty seemed assured Priogzhin was critical of it and quite outspoken. Bold-faced opportunism, Wagner is the largest and strongest it has ever been and meanwhile the Russian military's morale and ability to fight is compromised. Accounts of Wagner doing the heavy lifting seems to suggest this may be true. The power that could be made available to Prigozhin should his mutiny succeed is tempting to an Oligarch like him as his only real fear would be Putin who is now in a weak position. And finally I think honestly he probably is some form of Russian patriot, and has come to the realisation that the war isn't in Russia's best interests and wants to redirect it or end it.

That said, the man is unabatedly proud of the war crimes Wagner commits, and I have no doubt that a mutiny in Russia is going to get bloody fast. Even if Prigozhin succeeds he might have a change of heart and recommit to the war in Ukraine. And if he ends it sure it might improve the qulaity of life for Russians and Ukrainians but I don't see democracy coming any time soon to the Russian federation. If he loses the only hope is that this mutiny further weakens Putin's position an eventually the man backs down and leaves.

All I can really for sure say is this, a PMC as important as Wagner is openly rebelling proves the Russian war effort is at a breaking point.

Es ist gut für mich. Ich muss mein deutsch auffrischen. Es ist ein problem fur anderen leute, weil Kbin kein spracheinstellung hat. Aber Sie können wählen nur deine "Magazines" sehen möchten.

Maybe, I honestly love going to the movies but it seems the age of the generic blockbuster is done really. It's nearly all sequels or franchises. I want to wathc something not particulary groundbreaking but still interesting and not need to watch it's five previous movies.

The last movie I felt scratched that itch for me was the DnD movie which was relatively detached. I like movies like that and I wish there were more. Don't get me wrong I like a good franchise but when everything is a franchise it's maddening.

I do have somewhat of a fear of these walkways and escalators for stories like this although I do know it's irrational.

These are very short and small bears. They stand upright an average of 5ft tall, which amongst bears is short enough. Keep in mind even a black bear, another considred small bear, can reach up to over 6ft, 1.82m, tall. Grizzlies and Polar Bears are well over the 8ft, 2.43m, range standing upright. The weight differences are also massive. Their relative size similar peer in the Black Bear is anywhere from 60kg 5o 300kg, or 132-661 pounds. Meanwhile a sunbear is around 27-63kg, 59-143lbs.

With such a lithe bear it creates this oddly human look to them when they stand upright.

It's absolutely a fuck you price, reddit doesn't want the press of saying they wan't rid of 3rd party apps. But they're trying to do it anyways. IDK why though, because it's nakedly obvious to even people not involved in reddit.

There are some CGI I have never minded, personally I think the real problem with CGI is quite often it does not mesh with traditional animation. Like the infamous bear fom Golden Kamuy.

But then the Berserk movies and Promare shows you can have full CGI and work well as well as 2d/CGI hybrids and work well

True, but reddit's portion of bots is also massive. Anecdotally I saw bots constantly in reddit's comments. I have yet to see one in the fediverse so far.

I prefer Kbin over Lemmy because it feels like old reddit, and the magazines are a lot more like checking my subreddits than others. It's also not currently defederated with anything, but it's worth noting that could change at any point. Kbin is the fastest growing of any of the instances atm,

At the end of the day, the whole fediverse thing means, within reason, it doesn't really matter where you set up shop.

If they've managed to make a decent live action adaptation of any Japanese media I'm impressed for them. Cowboy Bebop, the Resident Evil tv series come to mind as their mos trecent failings. I think One Pieces kind of cartooniness is something that can be adapted in live action so its good to see them actually do it.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Yes. This movie drives me up the wall because there is so much to like about it, but the eway it ends is not good. When watching it at the theatre as it was getting close to the end, I was wondering how they were going to wrap up so much stuff soon or was the movie longer than I thought. When that to be continue stuff happened I was disappointed and a bunch of people in the theatre either groaned or actually audibly complained. I remember some kid shouting "WHAT!" at the top of his voice.

It also imo heavily ruins the film as it stands because it makes the entire film feel like a movie cut in half so I cannot enjoy it over the original Spider-Verse. Maybe part 2 will be great, but imo these two films are always going to be stained somewhat by the fact that they do not open and close well. There's been films that hint at follow ups that ended way more satisfying that this. Empire Strikes back, Dune, and Fellowship of the Ring come to the mind. Across the Spider-Verse doesn't have that clear closing but still hint for more that those movies did.

Agree, it might seem an awkward conversation but if they're not idiots they'll realise you're looking out for them. You could leave an anonymous letter or something, but there is a good chance they'll guess it was you anyways.

Danke schön und ich stimme zu. Es is besser für das internet aber schwerer für die person. Diese 'fediverse' scheint ein gut Kompromiss. "Content aggregation" und Dezentralisierung.

It wasn't a good thing that this was overturned. but the protection for abortions should never have been based entirely on a ruling of the supreme court, When, and I really hope it's when, they get an opportunity to next make abortion protected federally it must be codified that way something like this doesn't happen again. As is the Supreme Court has two much power and influence for a group of 9 lifetime appointees.
