JillyB@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Bad film with amazing premise and mediocre execution that you can't stop thinking about?3·10 days agoOh man I haven’t thought of Jericho in a minute. I used to watch that after The Unit.
My dad was a high school English teacher for decades before taking an early retirement last year. Administration banned the Handmaid’s Tale, one of his favorite books to teach. He became a suicidal alcoholic and was pushed out. Thankfully, he’s much happier now that he’s sober and spends most of his time woodworking, but it never should’ve come to this.
OP lost access to YT music, not normally YouTube. It’s confusing.
I’ve also noticed an increase in using “had [done]” instead of [did] in places I wouldn’t expect. I’m sure a linguist could break that down more thoroughly.
It does sound a little weird. I usually just say balls
Yeah that’s accurate. Or just “bearing balls”.
I know a lot of people didn’t like it, but I loved Megalopolis. It’s so ambitious, has great cinematography, and it’s weird. I thought it was well acted and will be a cult classic in a decade. It is a little weird that the main character is the only person with a superpower (stopping time) and it has almost no impact on the story, but that just adds to the weird appeal for me.
A steel ball is not a ball bearing. A bearing is something that bears load and allows for motion, usually rotation. There are sleeve bearings which are just one material or journal bearings which have pressurized oil to separate the spinning shaft. A ball bearing is an assembly with rolling elements (balls, rather than rollers). Those steel balls are just called balls. The whole assembly is called a ball bearing. I used to work in bearing manufacturing and they were just called balls.

I’ve only ever done Chicago Critical Mass but it seems universal to be loud in tunnels and to intentionally go where you’re not allowed. This is some family friendly civil disobedience. Just don’t get a gun pulled in you like we did last summer.

I also think that isn’t worth it. You’re still letting some rich moron’s actions have too much sway over your mental health. What you’re describing is the most tiny of marginal gains. Her IPs are already dying in relevance. Your energy would be better spent telling people about how cool some other thing is rather than how bad HP is. If someone loves HP and it makes them happy, I see no benefit to raining on their parade.
JillyB@beehaw.orgto World News@lemmy.ml•Harry Potter creator goes on rant about asexuals for some reason 🤷🏽♂️610·28 days agoI disagree with this take. Buying HP stuff won’t change anything. Not “it will change very little”. It will actually do nothing. If the whole world decided to stop buying anything that gave her money, it wouldn’t change her lifestyle at all. She already made enough money that she never has to consider it for her lifestyle. People might as well enjoy what they like and not have one more thing weighing on their mental health. Let people have their escapism.

Then Harry frees one elf and is considered a hero while the person trying to solve the systemic problems is a whiny bitch. She’s showing how she thinks about the world with that one.

JillyB@beehaw.orgtoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•"This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back to the United States"14·1 month agoWhether he’s part of ms-13 or not is irrelevant. If the government has such solid evidence, then he could surely stand trial. The character of the victim isn’t important. The complete disrespect of the constitution, the courts, and thus rule of law is what’s important.
I think the comic is incorrect. I think the fruit (not specifically an apple) had the knowledge of good and evil. That’s a lot less.
I think Jared Leto is a pretty good casting choice. He’s a self absorbed douche so he barely had to act.
