No it doesn't.
Since at the very least the dollar sign replacement is older than twitter.
And it was done by people who compared the company to nazi Germany.

I thought it was a huge disappointment, most of all due to the CG.

  • Everything looks hueless, often with only a few colors, with weird light angles and enemies often shown as a blur. As if it was made to put everyone on the same level as those who are colorblind and visiually impaired.
  • Soundtrack was a dissonance of what went on on screen.
  • The towns and villages were beautifully animated and showed wide shots of them, so one could be sure that they were missing any signs of food production or water sources.
  • The world did not just look dry in color, but also literally dry. Especially the shire which gives it a plastic feel to it.

All of those put together made me feel it was taking place on a pre-dinosaur earth or not yet fully terraformed planet Mars, rather than a place of fantasy and wonder.

And Saruman's death was absent in the theatrical cut. One of the most important parts of the story was simply cut out.

I grew up with pasta and ketchup at home.
It was my favourite dish.

Explain how it is reductionist to say that when there's over 50% of a whole nation that's in financial woes?
If anything trying to blame the each individual's actions is reductionist.
It paralyzes any political discussion in order to uphold an ever fragile status quo.
How many more people in your own country need to into debt before
you start calling it a systemic issue? 80%? 90%? 99%? 99.9%? 99.99%?

Whatever your solution is going to be, people's incomes are going to go down,
as everything is being automated.
Grocery stores are being automated.
Fast food chains are being automated.
Any brick-and-mortar store is disappearing.
Artists are being replaced

Your personal anecdote is worthless.
I delivered magazines, newspapers and mowed lawns when I was a kid.
Good luck telling the Gen Z that!

And if you don't understand why, I'll try be as reductionist as possible
in how my (and your) personal anecdote doesn't work anymore:

Internet, AI & robots has set up the us the bomb
All your income are belong to FAANG!!
You have no chance to survive make your time
Move Cap Install Com
For great justice!

Volunteers? I thought fedora/red hat was one of the few professional Linux OSes with this particular distro family focusing in on servers and security?
I could be wrong though.

The original post is that 50% of Americans consider themselves 'broke'.
@[email protected] a solution that would be considerate if 0.1% of working class Americans considered themselves broke.
@[email protected] offers an analysis why a 'pull yourself together' solution doesn't work when the issue starts hitting 50+% of a nation. That means there's something systemically going wrong and any suggested 'pull yourself by the bootstraps' solution is going to be met with more and more anger from a larger and larger crowd.

It's invincible against any adversary that still operates with 20th century technology, except for nations that had F-22's prior.

I use Manjaro and little bit of Artix.
If I would recommend anything, it's either EndeavourOS or Manjaro.
They're Arch-based and friendlier.

I stopped using Arch because I got banned from their forum for changing my username.

Ah, singular their.
It's not that common.

Did you marry your cousin, did she marry South-East Asia or was the guy from your high school randomly at his own wedding?

Oh noes!
Does that mean they will start banning TikTok and Huawei soon?
