I need them to flip the whole thing. Green bananas are best bananas, and you use the ones that have overripened in your chartreuse-fueled negligence to hastily make banana bread in an effort to excuse yourself. Repeat forever.
Then you would LOVE the grocery store were I live. You can choose between green, green and green bananas, I haven’t seen them sell a even slightly yellow one for years, even the greenest one here is to yellow.
Have you ever had the chance to try plantains? They’re a bit like bananas but for cooking and while they can be used yellow, generally they are used green.
I think I've had them once or twice and found them ok? But that was eating them like a banana. If they're more intended for cooking, that may require another attempt..
Yeah they’re only ever really used cooked. (I gather that they aren’t nearly as nice to eat raw and might make your stomach a bit upset if eaten raw but possibly are not actively bad for you like eating a raw potato is.) Cooked they’re pretty nice. Kinda like if a banana thought it was a potato.
I wish I could say I can fight them with my wallet but I haven’t paid for a service or movie except the very rare and occasional trip to the movies, in over 10 years. They still make tons of money despite putting out bad products. We get maybe 1 or 2, maybe 3 good movies or shows a year if that. The rest is crap. Lets be honest. Hollywood has been barfing up old ideas and re-making them more than coming up with new stuff for a long time now. People still pay the prices and go to the movies. Our standards have fallen very low but we are all willing to pay even more for it.
How many people went to see Barbie or Oppenheimer this week? All those people just spit in the face of everyone on strike.
And the actors who get paid way more than they deserve or need to. They demand it. They ensure the movie is going to cost millions of dollars, right off the bat. Before even thinking about the budget for the rest of the film.
And then you throw AI and the real legitimate concerns on how the industry is changing because of it. But then again, who’s industry isn’t changing because of it. I think many of us are learning that we all are going to have to adapt and use the new technology to survive or get left behind. Especially in the entertainment industry.
I am not complaining that they are striking or that they don’t deserve to get paid what the need or that their concerns are not legitimate. I support them 100%. But there are a lot of moving parts, public opinion etc.
With the quality of the entertainment produced in recent years being so bad, many people have lost sympathy. Most people are don’t care if AI creates some stupid show they watch, as long as it produces something better than what Hollywood has been putting out. What people have been complaining about for years and ignored.
Executives don’t care. They just see dollar signs. They have always taken what was there and tried to squeeze as much money out of as they could. They aren’t in it for the art. If they can get away with screwing people over, they are going to do it. They have ALWAYS done it.
It’s not just royalties, it’s the success of the industry in general. If those evil studios go out of business, it will eliminate a lot of jobs, if a movie flops, there’s no sequel, etc. The fact that the creatives make much less than the suits is lame, but it doesn’t change that basic framework.
But if the studios are already eliminating those jobs, then them going under is only a problem for shareholders.
Damn dude how many times are you going to post in this thread. There are places you would feel more at home. You will get the same response here every time. Try 4chan, voat, truth social, reddit, or one of the defederated right wing communities.
It should really be NSFW for the in your face cleavage.
Edit: Lol, NSFW tags aren’t just for full on porn. Would you want your boss seeing you looking at this? Would you want people in public seeing you looking at this?
The others in this thread are fine, but the top post with the pose is a bit over the line. It would have been better to have just that one behind the frosted filter - which is exactly what the NSFW tag would have done.
Who said anything about that? I just said that an otter with cleavage and kneeling with legs spread isn’t something you’d want your boss looking over your shoulder and seeing on your monitor/device. All the others have been fine, but that one is very slightly over the line.
Nah this and the other otter one are just someone having silly fun, not the grossly explicit stuff you see from the furries. Or their odd and unappealing art style.
If you want to block the flood of actual furry porn, just block the one or two instances it comes from as most of us already have.
Yes clearly a normal trim. I also butcher my trees annually. Fucking corpo dicks. /s
The sad thing is how many Americans are brainwashed into immediately siding with corporations and demonizing the workers in any labor dispute. Fucking gross.
Yeah. There was a guy I used to work with who would always complain if we heard workers were striking. “Why are they complaining about the conditions? If they didn’t want to work there they shouldn’t have taken the job.”
One of the more braindead takes I’ve ever heard on the topic.
You know, I saw the story about the actors strike the day after it started on the NBC national news. It was about two minutes of the resporter telling the audience which shows they were going to be missing out on, like the next season of The Handmaid’s Tale. It was so fucking blatantly one sided, to the point of just lying by omission. I’m not even sure they mentioned the AI issue. Of course no rational person should trust a TV network to give them unbiased, rational reporting about a fucking actors strike, but that’s exactly where the average person is going to learn about it. And that’s all that will come to mind - “oh no, my shows might take longer to come out.”
It was about two minutes of the resporter telling the audience which shows they were going to be missing out on, like the next season of The Handmaid’s Tale.
I wonder if there’s any footage of that. That sounds fucking wild.
I didn’t really care about it at first. My thought was, hollywood’s writing has been such complete utter dogshit lately, I literally can’t remember the last time I walked out of a movie blown away by something new. (Dune was exceptional, Maverick was good, but those are books and sequels so not OC. Can’t think of much else…)
Then I learned about fan baiting and how hollywood is actually purposefully trashing beloved franchises just to piss off fans, save money on writing, and essentially prep us for their transition to full AI writing and soon acting. For the last decade I’ve been mistaking their dogshit for out of touch but well intentioned corporate bufoonery. Now I realize it’s just part of their large scale evil plan to stay profitable in a world where hollywood and big budget productions are becoming obsolete and irrelevant.
So I’m on the writers side, but good luck to them, I don’t think they’re going to win this one.
Taking away a tree’s photosynthesis organs in the middle of summer when they’re supposed to be storing nutrients for winter is also really good for the tree I’m sure.
How much you want to bet they took those cuttings and threw them in the landfill?
