Unrelenting Hurricane Dora makes history by becoming a typhoon (www.washingtonpost.com)

Hurricane Dora has made headlines this week for having partially contributed to the winds that whipped up a ferocious firestorm in Hawaii. Now Dora, already having set a record for longevity in the Pacific Ocean, has made more history, more than three weeks after being born in a different ocean more than 10,000 miles away....

Adopted from a couple older movies, like Kurosawa’s hidden fortress, among others

Memento. Technically was an unpublished short story rewriten for the screen.

Some Wes Anderson stuff: isle of Dogs, Grand Budapest Hotel (loose influence), Royal Taenbaums

M (1933)

Short Term 12

Shawshank is based on a short story too

Interrogation (1989)

Funny Gaes (1997 version!!!)

A lot of Powell and Pressbruger’s stuff… Red Shoes, Colonel Blimp

Coen bros stuff-Fargo (strongly recommend this), O Brother Where Art Thou (inspired by Homer, but a bit different from the book lol), Big Lebowski

Just a few to start you with. I basically pulled some fine examples across cinema history. I ignored a lot of great silent stuff, especially the comedy. If you reply to this one day, I’m sure I can follow up with more refs!

Directly stole characters from samurai films too. 2 characters in Hidden Fortress act exactly like R2 and C3PO

I’m sure there are other examples

18+ Am I 35m flirting?

So I’m a 35 year old male in a group where me and this girl joke around. She’s a bit “dominate” I guess and tries to be in control. However I don’t really take shit from people and will keep talking if she tells me to stop talking and say what I want. She talks about wanting to bang. Apparently me giving her shit...

Life is torturous enough for Frenchies, why make it even worse??

Does the government keep capitalist interests on the top ?

Lately since covid has begun, there has been a high job insecurity in multiple fields , while the logical thing to do would have been improving job security laws, at least our govt( the name does not matter really) has brought laws , that gives power to the capitalists to abuse labour laws , or to fire employees more easily!

Most business ethics stuff I’ve seen from the past 10-20 years directly rebukes stakeholder theory and the Friedman purist view of “profits are all that businesses should care about”.

Although… how many CEOs have read books on corporate ethics?

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

But the ethics arguments do get into that a bit. For example, if you want to maximize value for shareholders (note that is a distinct term from stakeholders), do you give employees more benefits? That encourages retention. Turnover is super fuckin expensive, so you can make the argument that higher pay and increased benefits add shareholder value.

Basically, it’s not such a black-and-white legal argument

The underlying issue is RAMPANT employee misclassification. Most of these people aren’t contractors, they are just illegally misclassified.

Temu Ads

Every time I see a slideshow on Tik Tok, it seems like it ends with a freaking Temu ad saying some BS about how they partnered with some bigger company like Fornite or Amazon. One of the ones that really gets me is when they have an anti-capitalist slideshow which they end with an advertisement for buying stuff from Temu at a...

Minneapolis ex-officer sentenced to nearly 5 years in Floyd killing (www.reuters.com)

Former Minneapolis police officer Tou Thao was sentenced on Monday to 4-3/4 years in prison for aiding and abetting manslaughter in the 2020 killing of George Floyd, a Black man whose neck was pinned to the ground by another officer’s knee during a botched arrest....

Considering the number of people who have lived safely like this for years, and that some places (Massachusetts, USA) require it for apartment buildings/multi family units, makes me think it’s pretty well understood

“You guys get paid for this?” - Reddit mods probably

But on a serious note, these people see the most fucked up shit you can imagine. I’d think they deserve a bit more than $3/hr

What are your thoughts on restricting children’s access to pornography online?

There are a lot of GOP-controller legislatures in the USA pushing through so-called “child protection” laws, but there’s a toll in the form of impacting people’s rights and data privacy. Most of these bills involve requiring adults to upload a copy of their photo ID.

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Yes l, actually. We do have research into the effects. Here’s a summary I found:

aifs.gov.au/…/effects-pornography-children-and-yo…

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not one study, it’s a review of research done across the USA, UK, and AUS.

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Odd, I found your points to be cherry picked as well. Where does it say it would entirely negate the negative effects?
