@sun a lot of places don't know how fucked up the next generation is going to be after spending their formative years locked away with an ipad over a cold

As a former manager of a single screen mom-and-pop theater all I have to say is that Deluxe/Technicolor are such greedy assholes. If you want to get a film within the first four weeks that it's out you have to give up 90% of your ticket sales to the distributors. If you want a 50/50 split or better you have to wait like 2 months. It was always a major gamble on what to wait for and what to actually get right away. They also make these BS rules like; our movie is the only film that can be shown on any given screen. Meaning if we wanted to do an early and late show, we couldn't. You're forced to only play one movie for weeks! Once that got more common the business basically died. The biggest insult is that the theaters have to pay for movie posters. We're already giving them all the sales, and then they have the gall to ask theaters to pay for the movie's advertising too? Are you fucking kidding me?

So basically yeah, the movie industry is murdering itself by refusing to change, specifically, refusing to change to be less scummy.

@icedquinn @matrix hey, they didn't do anything about covid so there's that at least. Nobody was forced to wear masks or vaccinate or anything. I've heard it's much better in Northern Sweden, to the point even northerners dread going to the south.

Oh you like AI? Gross. Natural insemination all the way.

Wow, there's a private server of RuneScape called Scape05 that goes for an even older version of OSRS (though not quite RuneScape Classic). Kind of crazy.

@Mr_NutterButter if you import the third world, you become the third world. it's not that hard to understand. no country can bear the weight of a shit ton of people coming in like that who don't contribute to the systems that help them. as much as it sucks from a humane perspective to turn people away there's a certain point where you can't take anymore. people will talk about this with self-help very often... you know, you can't help everyone and at a certain point you have to think about yourself. but if you apply that to a country, you're a horrible person all of the sudden.
