Which is not an issue at all. Plenty of medium-sized subs have a geographically wide spanning mod team. For a large sub like that it's a non-issue.

OK... I mean if you don't understand the internet then there's not a lot I can do to help you.

This is primarily meant for people to organize themselves online. Local networks already exist and those are the channels through which protests have traditionally gone. Organizing the internet tends to be a bit messier, but when it works it's usually via several "hubs" (think fucknestle, save3rdpartyapps, etc.).

Sure, I'll add that.

Thanks, I'm aware. There's a couple of links in the post already.

I would disagree on the grounds that this will functionally just break up the community, which is the best outcome. People will get bored and move on to the next thing, and both reddit and discord will lose.

The big name movies now are so cringeworthy and require zero thought on the part of the viewer. I'd be almost embarrassed to go watch them. The worst part is that I used to watch them because there was just nothing else to see, until one day I was so bored that I walked out of the theatre. To my surprise, I was even approached and given a refund by the manager without asking... maybe they watched it too and understood the pain.

But are those the things that get marketing? I'm with you on loving that content, but none of the main theatres in my area (a city of 7 million) even show them. A couple will put them into the standard screen theatres at oddball times to fulfill their contracts, but the good content is in the local dollar theatres where, of course, the movie gets less traffic.

I think what they're saying is that the movies that you're "supposed" to watch are things like those god awful Harry Potter prequels (literally any fanfic amateur could have written them better), the ten thousandth Marvel movie (seriously, just stop), or those Adam-Sandler style low effort white trash movies that run solely on the recognition of the probably male and supposedly "so talented" lead actor.

They're fighting a losing battle, but I hope a side effect of it is that new people come in and change both the economics and artistry of Hollywood. Most Hollywood content sits in a very rigid box. It's repetitive, unoriginal, and unappealing. People are encouraged to eat ramen for every meal in order to "make it", simply because far too many of them try (which is partially the result of the "follow your dreams" narrative in America as well). The further down you are, the worse your compensation. Good ideas get missed or thrown out and relegated to dollar theatres all the time.

If this strike goes on long enough that it starts to flush people out, I'm ok with that. Sucks for the people who are going to lose their livelihoods, but for some of them that was an eventuality. Hopefully in the end creators will have more creative freedom and receive more proportional compensation.

Right but you can consume cannabis in tons of different ways - cookies, cocktails, etc. Restaurants had smoking areas for decades with far worse air filtration systems.

Which bar??? Please link if you can, I travel quite a bit and I would genuinely go there.
