Just wanted to let you know you’re wrong, and that your fetish for fascist father figures will only result in you consistently disappointing everyone around you. Your ideology is backwards and antithetical to basic empathy. Welcome to Lemmy.

I feel like it’s shaped in a way to trap heat, but then the smoke vent just negates that?

Perhaps counter-intuitively, if your pockets are full of Mom’s spaghetti, you’re more likely to be structurally sound.

but the resulting fire can absolutely diminish their load capacity, making them frail and pliable like boiled spaghetti

Oh god, what’s in the steaming tray in the last panel?? It’s a microwave meal, right?

…RIGHT?

Had a spider in my bathroom that I befriended. Named Steve. He was a tiny little thing that stayed on the crown molding, and had the foresight not to invade the inner sanctum of the shower space. I noticed Steve wasn’t catching many bugs, so I killed a fly, and while it was still twitching, I held it up for Steve to look at, then dropped said fly into his web. Steve must’ve been put off by the fact that the fly quickly died, and he didn’t bother eating it. Steve has now passed, starved up there in his web, without ever even touching that big ass fly I caught him.

Spiders are stupid. You’re a more efficient bug-killer by far, I’d wager.

I wonder if Wes Anderson could do it better. Ed Norton as Smedley?

Trickle down economics would only work if you gave them a tax cut, and then forced them to spend whatever money they saved. And then they’d have to ensure that the money is being spent in ways that benefit the working class, like supporting a small business or union shop. But they never take it that extra step, so it will always fail. it’s only ever been a handout to the wealthy, designed to inspire loyalty and garner future favors.

A summary of the story, scene breakdown and scripts should be distributed to all cast members in advance.

performers should be able to request a closed set where access is kept to a minimum.

A competent intimacy coordinator should be engaged.

These are not big asks.

In one recording for a major game she first learned it was explicit only when she turned up for work.

“This was actually a full-on sex scene,” she said.

"I had to [vocally] match the scene and through the glass in the booth was the entire team, all male, watching me.

“It was excruciating… at that stage I had been in the games industry a while, and I had never felt so shaken”.

Not unreasonable to say that this situation should not be repeated.
