Jaws was released in '75 and PG-13 was created in '84.

It was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom that was a catalyst for PG-13. It’s probably no coincidence that Steven Spielberg directed both Jaws and Temple of Doom.

PG-13 didn’t exist when Jaws was released.

I’m not arguing against your point, just clarifying why it is PG.

I just want to point out that one of the beautiful parts of TWD is that it does keep on going. Most zombie stories only focus on the start of the outbreak, but doesn’t show how things evolve as time goes on. This is what made TWD different.

But I agree, eventually it needs an end, even if that is everyone dying/infected.

The Last of Us needs to end because it’s based on an existing story that has an ending. Don’t invent new stuff, just tell the story that needs to be told and then end it.

Finally, focusing on the important issues!

I would estimate at least 30% of the population to be categorically incapable of moral reasoning. A conservative estimate.

Nice bit of wordplay there!

Oh, it’ll be more than that!

I have had touchscreen laptops at work, and I’ve had touchscreen chromebooks for personal use and I love the option of the touchscreen, but it isn’t something I use exclusively. Sometimes, while typing it’s much easier and faster to ‘click’ on a link, or new field, by tapping my screen rather than grabbing my mouse or going to a touchpad. I agree that trying to use the screen on a laptop while it is in ‘laptop mode’ is difficult, but there is a use case where it’s preferred, and I end up with fingerprints on my non-touchscreen screens when I forget which computer I’m on.

I agree… I love my Macbooks for how well the hardware works, and I love how I can open up terminal and do pretty much anything I want. What I don’t like is how consumer hostile it is when it comes to being able to upgrade or repair. I also don’t like Apple’s insistence on telling me what I do and do not want in a product. According to Steve Jobs no one wants a touchscreen on their laptop, and even though he’s been dead for over a decade and the market has shown otherwise, they still don’t have a touchscreen Macbook (and if they ever do release one they’ll fawn over how innovative they are for doing so).

I mean… yeah.

The companion book to “Lay Back and Relax: The guide to enjoying the dental hygienist’s boobs on your head”

“About 2 dozen started have sued…”

So not even half the states give a shit about education.

Cool.

Now, just explain why it needs to be remade, what goals the new version will achieve and how you plan on achieving them.

This is how shit is supposed to get done: you have an idea, you share the idea, people provide feedback on your idea, and you adjust until you have a working plan. I’ve never seen a trump administration accomplish this bad minimum of planning.

Might I suggest: Tebya ne trakhnut, tak chto ne verti zadnitsey

The National Guard left shortly after 1 p.m., once protesters approached with their hands raised in the air.

So, you treat the National Guard the same as a black bear? Just make yourself appear larger and they will leave.

Not nearly to the same amount.

That’s part of it, but it also helps that the Chinese government heavily subsidizes their auto industry.

What we, the product, should be doing is selling our engagement to companies that need new and unique data to train AI models.

The data we create (including this interaction) is more valuable than the ‘service’ Facebook provides.

Maybe that’s the way Lemmy will eventually enshittify, by paying people to join it and interact so that the data can be used for AI training… who needs advertisers? (Though, try to avoid the urge to tell them to go fuck themselves)

Do we really have 3000 billionaires in this world? That’s disgusting.

I bought 5 pounds of clover seed this spring and spread it through my lawn… and it’s amazing. I plan on getting 20 pounds this fall and doing the rest of my lawn, and probably going to get some creeping red thyme for my fence rows.
