Pornhub Sues Texas Over Age Verification Law in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] qwamqwamqwam@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (28 children)

Age verification for pornography has something like a 70% approval rating. It’s not a religious extremism issue, it’s a “normies don’t want or care about their freedoms issue”.

Basically the title. I would love to get at least a basic working knowledge of repairs and alterations, but I have no experience whatsoever. A “questions that don’t deserve their own post” or “starting resources” thing would be very helpful. Thank you!

Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] qwamqwamqwam@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

This has always been easy for me because my favorite movie is "Speed Racer" which has like a 40% on Rotten Tomatoes.

A movie that was genuinely before its time. Would fit right in these days with "Barbie" and "Everything Everywhere All At Once".

  1. cut dopamine drips out of your life for a short time. If the object is easily accessible and causes pleasure without effort, remove it.
  2. Work out. Get used to listening to your body at its absolute limits and take pride in the steady progress of your physical self
  3. reintroduce the stuff that actually brings you joy

Much easier to moderate your consumption when you’ve spent some time without.

Combined the movies are playing like one big blockbuster. Really exciting to see this kind of success. Actually in line to see Barbie now!

Weekend Box Office Report July 14 - July 16, 2023 (www.boxofficereport.com)

Lots of good stuff, but here's the most impressive:

On the heels of last week's impressive start, Angel Studios's Sound of Freedom exploded in its second weekend of release by increasing 37.2 percent over last weekend to place in second this weekend with an estimated $27.00 million. This type of second weekend hold is pretty much unheard of at the box office for an already wide release, but Sound of Freedom benefited from a combination of not-so-typical factors this weekend, including exceptional word of mouth (the film received a perfect A+ rating on CinemaScore), expanding to an additional 413 locations this weekend (and holding onto a very high percentage of its average showtimes from last weekend in holdover locations), last weekend's three-day gross having been deflated at least somewhat by the Tuesday midweek opening and by continuing to receive a boost from the film's Pay it Forward ticket program, in which tickets for the film are being purchased online for others to claim tickets for free. It also appears that the Jim Caviezel-led Sound of Freedom has struck a chord with similar audiences that made The Passion of the Christ a break-out performer way back in 2004. Sound of Freedom has grossed an estimated $85.50 million through 13 days of release and isn't showing signs of slowing down anytime soon (as long as the film continues to hold onto locations and showtimes).

Campaign? in c/dnd@lemmy.world

Maybe tell us a little bit about yourself so people might know if you’re a good fit for their campaign?

Argentina's use of Chinese yuan is soaring as dollars run short, and a top US manufacturer may join the trend in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml
[–] qwamqwamqwam@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago (10 children)

For the record, this has more to do with Argentine financial mismanagement and China’s “expansive” fiscal policy than with the dedollarization that the headline is trying to imply.

Credible Defense Megathread 7/14/23 + Feedback Thread (sh.itjust.works)

Well, its been two weeks, which I think is a decent amount of time for a quick check-in for feedback. Is this space helping people? Is there anything I could do to make it more useful or engaging? I was considering migrating this thread to a second subreddit with lower posting standards, a la r/lesscredibledefense. That way, maybe people who feel intimidated/uncomfortable with the submission standards can still share content. Would love to hear your thoughts.

I’m trying this out on a purely experimental basis. Please strive to keep your discussions focused, courteous, and credible. Links to combat footage without significant further analysis will be removed. That sort of footage should be posted to !combatfootage@lemmy.world.

Also, please report things which break the rules! It’s unlikely I’ll see everything that happens in a thread, so reporting is the best way to remove content that doesn’t fit our standards.

The megathread is for asking questions and posting submissions that would not fit the criteria of our post submissions. As such, submissions are less stringently moderated, but we still do keep an elevated guideline for comments. Comment guidelines: ​ Please do: ​

  • Be curious not judgmental,
  • Be polite and civil,
  • Use the original title of the work you are linking to,
  • Use capitalization,
  • Link to the article or source of information that you are referring to,
  • Make it clear what is your opinion and from what the source actually says. Please minimize editorializing, please make your opinions clearly distinct from the content of the article or source, please do not cherry pick facts to support a preferred narrative,
  • Read the articles before you comment, and comment on the content of the articles,
  • Post only credible information
  • Contribute to the forum by finding and submitting your own credible articles, ​ Please do not: ​
  • Use memes, emojis or swears excessively,
  • Use foul imagery,
  • Use acronyms like LOL, LMAO, WTF, /s, etc. excessively,
  • Start fights with other commenters,
  • Make it personal,
  • Try to out someone,
  • Try to push narratives, or fight for a cause in the comment section, or try to 'win the war,'
  • Engage in baseless speculation, fear mongering, or anxiety posting. Question asking is welcome and encouraged, but questions should focus on tangible issues and not groundless hypothetical scenarios. Before asking a question ask yourself 'How likely is this thing to occur.' Questions, like other kinds of comments, should be supported by evidence and must maintain the burden of credibility. ​ Please read our in depth rules https://reddit.com/r/CredibleDefense/wiki/rules. Also please use the report feature if you want a comment to be reviewed faster. Don't abuse it though! If something is not obviously against the rules but you still feel that it should be reviewed, leave a short but descriptive comment while filing the report.

The FTC is reportedly leaning towards appealing its Microsoft - Activision loss | VGC in c/games@sh.itjust.works
[–] qwamqwamqwam@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Y’all don’t want to hear this but the appeal is going nowhere. Antitrust in the US requires consolidation to harm consumer choice, and with the agreements Microsoft has committed to that’s not provable. The EU has much stricter rules about this stuff than the US and even they cleared the acquisition. This has more to do with the administration’s tech-regulation initiative needing to show some proof-of-life than anything with a chance of actually preventing a merger. Feel free to downvote me to oblivion if it makes you feel better.
