I watched it in theaters yesterday and enjoyed it! Beautiful post-apocalyptic imagery, decent writing, great digital graphics, great story boarding. I’m always excited for sci fi epics and this scratched that itch.

One facet I thought could have been more robust was the question of human vs ape intelligence (which obviously comes up a lot). I felt there was competing messaging without a lot of complex exploration of intelligence or speciesism which could have deepened the film.

All the US cases and most cases worldwide are linked to people working closely with infected animals according to the article—no mention of raw milk.

Texas has one of the strongest ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney,” he said in a statement. “I thank the Board for its thorough investigation, and I approve their pardon recommendation.

pesky juries and DAs thinking they have legal authority!

I’m not following your logic here

I hope it makes some men (looking at the commenters on r/tinder who speak in terms of a marketplace) understand that they aren’t necessarily competing with other men, they’re also competing with the null hypothesis: Would she rather be alone (or with a bear).

It’s part of a shifting norm and shifting norms are always controversial. Especially norms that involve opening up bodily autonomy, dignity, or respect to previously excluded groups.

Even though we generalize that we’re attracted to categories like men and women I think most people are only attracted to a handful of singular people rather than a whole gender (or a more muscled or less muscled subset of one).

This is not a right wing resource, but if you’re interested in learning about the arguments and historical evolution of ideas that underpin economic liberalism/neoliberalism, I highly recommend Geoff Mann’s Disassembly required : a field guide to actually existing capitalism. It’s concise, relatively short, and treats the ‘other’ side like rational actors (which is important for understanding, I think).

Ofc this would only help understand people who are quite well informed.

I have a TCL tv with (with google smart TV software) and have been ingesting TV shows, games, and movies primarily from an xbox using various paid streaming apps for like 15 years. As streaming costs go up I’ve wanted to set up a media server compatible with playing stuff from the xbox and have had some friends suggest Plex so that we could potentially share media. People here seem partial to Jellyfin but the internet seems to feel it doesn’t work smoothly with xbox (buggy app/integration). Any suggestions for the most elegant setup possible for hosting a home server for streaming TV shows and movies from xbox?

 

Google is not helpful.

 

If someone else doesn’t do it and it is a precursor for something you need than it is your job.

 
 

Self defense? Only on the battlefield? Only to achieve a ‘noble’ end?

 

ULPT: Post job ads in your area for jobs similar to the one you have(or are looking for) at your desired salary.

This way if your employer checks to see if your wage is competitive it will look like they should give you a raise in order to retain you.
