I didn't feel like it got lost because of it, especially since it was all still in service of that message. Feminism isn't just about women either, and isn't the conclusion of his arc showing that he is kenough and doesn't need to to take the patriarchal male role?
Saw it yesterday and I really liked it. I think some people are kind of exaggerating how groundbreaking and subversive the feminism in it is, while it strikes me as fairly standard liberal feminism, but I think it was executed about as well as it could have been and I only cringed one or two times. Besides that it was consistently funny, occasionally moving, the plot was compelling enough, and it was all round a fun time. Also bonus points for having a Charli XCX song over a car chase.
I guess probably my biggest gripe would just be that the capitalism aspect of things was approached in a really shallow manner (maybe or maybe not Mattel's influence going on there idk), such that tbh I almost would have preferred it not touched at all, but this didn't hugely affect my enjoyment of the movie either because I wasn't expecting it to really go deep into that.
The job is not at all half finished. There is a massive difference between taking back territory Russia strategically chose to withdraw from following their failure to advance further and taking back territory they have claimed as an integral part of their nation and will fight tooth and nail to defend.
i5 6600K overclocked to 4.5 GHz and an RX 6600 for the desktop (at some point I will finally get around to upgrading the CPU lol), laptop is just a T470.
The reason as to why here relative to elsewhere is probably because people here tend to be more into free software and privacy and things like that, and caring about those things tends to have an anti-corporate aspect, because of the way corporations tend to act, and aligns pretty well with wider anticapitalist beliefs
Also the devs and pre-Reddit influx population are anticapitalist so that kind of helps influence the trajectory a bit
I was never really into calligraphy that much but for some reason Arabic calligraphy just kinda hits different for me so I’ve been thinking of looking more into that as I learn the language
I find it pretty relaxing to practise too. I’ve also known full CFOP for a while and I’m not learning any new algs so it’s something I can do pretty easily while listening to a Youtube video which is less visuals-focussed or a podcast or something
I’m quite into linguistics so as far as potential jobs kinda related to that I don’t think I’d mind working in translation.
Unfortunately not sure how great the future for that is with the improvements in machine translation, especially since the only languages I speak are pretty widely spoken and so those for which that’s going to be most developed
I kinda agree with this, but only to a certain extent and mostly for Mastodon, and not Lemmy. With how difficult it can be to find people to follow on Mastodon, I think my experience has definitely been worsened by not really having at least a few of my favourite twitter posters on there, leaving me basically to fumble around in the dark slowly making my way towards an acceptable feed in spite of the platform. If I didn't believe in the potential of the platform and the ideas behind it, I don't think I would ever put that much time using something I don't really like trying to make it work for me.
Lemmy is a different story though, I really don't care who posts what as long as there are posts. Just like on Reddit, I can probably only recognise a very small number of usernames because it just doesn't matter so much in this format.
I'm reading a few actually: Capital volume 2 by Marx, The Tondrakian Movement by Vrej Nersessian, and Primavera con una esquina rota by Mario Benedetti
Even if you look at monarchs (with relatively good living standards) who died of natural causes, those who make it to their 70s and certainly their 80s are pretty rare. Doesn’t mean the ‘everyone died in their 30s’ thing is true, but I’d say making it to your 50s and maybe 60s would be a more reasonable expectation
Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living.
The first I can remember was I think when I was 4, and basically I got abducted by a UFO and it turned out that it was the Simpsons that had abducted me.
Needless to say this was a terrifying dream to 4 year old me
Especially with the massive number of bots, it helps get user and activity numbers up a lot

Are they?

Diamond is kind of a boring gem anyway imo, I’d prefer something with more colour
Merci!
Il y a moi mais je l’ai pas vu
Some apps show it but tbh I think it’s a good thing Lemmy generally doesn’t

Trying to, although with the time difference and with my schedule I probably won't be able to catch that many especially in the earlier stages

Kinda reminds me of this
