I’m always a “support the creators” dude. But what happens when the media disappears? Or if you’re not allowed to own it, which is the primary way creators get paid? (Sure you can subscribe to Netflix or whatever but that will contribute to all of the $18 in the showrunners’ royalty checks every year.) I generally don’t support piracy, but the current landscape makes it hard for me to condemn it anymore in the majority of cases.

What’s cherrypick

Nope, the judge wasn’t told how the auction was being conducted and was upset when he heard about it. He’s halted the sale and for now Alex Jones has access to the Infowars studios again.

Which would you say is best?

Me either. All bidders and bids have been kept private though except for Roger Stone’s.

Abandonment is neglect.

It’s spam. Most Fediverse software like Mastodon and Pleroma support MRFs that protect against spam, as I understand it, but Misskey doesn’t. And since Misskey users are mostly Japanese, so is that spam, as it’s targeting that Japanese audience.

Almost all of them are. The Kendrick Brothers’ movies used to be at least a lil interesting but once they got bought by Sony those movies got boring too.

I think Angel Studios is the only company making interesting Christian movies. Although I must say Nefarious was surprisingly good for a Christian film.

“Faith-based” is Hollywood-speak for “this movie has a religious protagonist and pro-religion themes”. The producers and organizations behind these types of movies usually parents Christians. A recent example of this type of movie is American Underdog.

These movies are different than “Christian films”, which are created by Christian companies and usually have casts and crew that are almost entirely Christian. Something like The Forge would fit in this category.

What’s the spin?

So that’s why all the spam is Japanese.

Okay so maybe ten. But I still have more original films I plan on watching this year so I’ll get to at least 12 by the end of the year.

People are making great original movies all the time but few people are paying attention. I’ve seen probably at least a dozen great original movies in theaters in this year alone.

He’s on the right, there’s nothing surprising about him supporting Trump. I’m slightly disappointed by how political his content is now (even though I enjoy his political content) though since he said he would pivot, although I guess that’s better stoking the culture war flames surrounding wokeness like he was before.

I am somewhat surprised by it myself. I’m a casual Asmongold fan and Trump voter, but the way he’s covering (if you can call it that) the election and its fallout directly contradicts what he said about talking about things outside of his realm of expertise.

I’m also very, very curious as to where he gets his news from.

Sure.

Fair, but the parent still neglected the child.

Not me 🤷🏾‍♂️

Yes but it’s not like your parents had no idea where you were and took no action to find you. This is textbook neglect, not intentional parenting.

While I’m a big parental rights fan I actually tentatively am siding with the state on this one.

Patterson had driven her eldest son to a medical appointment. Her youngest son, 11-year-old Soren, intended to come along but wasn’t around when it was time to leave.

It’s one thing to intentionally raise your child in a free-range way, I think that should be allowed to a certain degree. It’s a completely different thing to neglect your child by driving away from your home after you can’t find him at the house and you don’t know where he is.
