Zoolander

The one about people taking COVID medical advice from the guy that used to make people eat donkey cum was pretty funny… and I say this as a person who still thinks people with COVID should wear masks.

The only good scene is one that they spoiled in the trailer… Mugatu getting out of prison.

Anyone know when Part 4 comes out?

I love Conan but I’m getting the strange feeling that, like Stanley Tucci and a lot of these show hosts, this is an excuse for him to travel the world as a giant business expense. I’m a bit jealous that he gets to do that.

It has to be his back facing the camera, doesn’t it? I never understood this debate. You can clearly see his thumb on the hand that’s on top. This would only be possible if his back was facing the camera and this is his left hand. Otherwise, his thumb would be obscured by his fist.

When people who clearly have never cooked a meal for themselves prepare one on film. The whole process.

We recently watched a movie where a woman was preparing dinner but she’s chopping whatever the hell she was chopping like it was the first time in her life that she had ever held a knife. Sometimes they even use the completely wrong knife for whatever the task is that they’re trying to do. Other times, they’re constantly stirring something like boiling noodles or sauces that don’t need to be stirred. All kinds of dumb things that are obviously done just to give the actor something to do with the props around them but that make the character look incompetent instead.

Even worse is when whatever they’re doing doesn’t even make sense within the context presented in the film, e.g. dicing a lime for drinks instead of cutting slices or wedges, using a pepper grinder on fruit, making another character taste something that would be scalding hot, etc.

Close runner-up is when characters go to a bar and order “a beer” or some other generic version of something. Just make up a god damn brand name, fer chrissakes.

Don’t they show her ripping off the backs of the seats when she gets in?

It’s not VR if you can see the real world. That’s literally the only distinction between the two and you messed it up.

Now you’re getting it!

Nope. I already ticked those boxes. My prize was a punch in the face from a random Lemmy zealot. Better luck next time.

Shit… busted.

Got it. I think we’re specifically talking about Lemmy, though, and online communities where people don’t even know your identity. Your anecdote just makes me think your family is crazy. They know you and still call you a shill? That’s nuts.

Oh I do. Downvotes don’t matter at all on Lemmy. It’s just annoying because some people think they do and they think if they get upvotes that it means they’re right.

Jesse… what the fuck are you talking about?

It already is a toxic witch-hunt here. Try posting that you like an Apple product or that you don’t like Linux or Android and you’ll immediately get called a shill. Try it! It’s fun!

That’s a short-sighted way to look at it. Less than 10% might come from personal vehicles but 31% comes from commercial transportation which can also be electrified. On top of that, 37% of remaining emissions come from generating energy and electricity from fossil fuels. As more of those sources become alternative sources like wind, water, solar, etc., electric vehicles (including commercial vehicles) take a huge chunk of emissions and dirty forms of energy away.

We don’t need carbon credits. We need clean sources of energy that are sustainable. If we were really desperate, we could come up with nuclear sources but that would need more public support and is rife with bad waste.

No one said anything about Elon. But you’re wrong about electric cars.

That all starts with being able to recognize those emotions in the moment. If you can’t change the past, then why are you putting energy into getting angry over it? In your dog example, you’re going to have to clean it either way so stop to think about what’s more valuable to you - moving forward and learning for next time or using your energy to get angry.

There’s nothing wrong with getting angry. Anger is a useful emotion. Use it to your benefit rather than to your detriment.

The article I posted from MIT in my other comment makes the claim that what you’re saying is not true. They have similar longevity, without the waste of oil changes and other additional carbon emissions, and the majority of ecological damage comes from charging infrastructure which can be made completely green. Additionally, Lithium can be recaptured and companies like Sigma Resources are finding ways to make the sourcing and recapture even more sustainable. Unless oil-based power sources can get better while simultaneously outpacing the current growth of renewable energy forms, I think your statement can’t possibly be true.

But that’s only the case because of the electricity used to create those components. Using green sources like solar power and wind energy would turn that to 0. Some of that is already offset by those sources today and the gap between electric and gas production is only an 11% difference.
