@beatmastermatt@StatisticUrban Is there really any evidence that making representation more granular reduces partisanship though? House representatives already represent a much smaller group of people than senators, but I'd argue they're clearly *more* partisan on average, no?
@sevenstrafe@afuturemodern@isorevived@deepyy_ Haven't seen anyone sampling it personally so dunno bout that sorry, song only came out a month ago so surprised it's being sampled already (makes me think it's probably a smaller artist?)
@IzerGOESON@lynx_darth A country ruled by 3 generations of the same family for the better part of a century (with another Kim the presumed successor) is a de facto monarchy even if they reject the label
@MadWokeNews@Variety She didn't really make any "mistakes", these aren't her shows and their failures aren't on her. She showed up & did her job, nothing wrong w/ that.
@ElonPepe@AmeliaRodrigJan It's a weirdly obtuse way to say it, and by some definitions the New World also includes places outside of the Americas so it's also imprecise. Could've just asked if it was in the Americas or not.
@The_Big_C69@FandelateGOD09@Gabaniniboy@SmashJT It's crazy how many gamers believe that software development is somehow completely insulated from inflation. I think games being $60 for so long broke people's brains & expectations.
@jasongarshfield@RichardHanania I don't know the full context but If it really was just a meaningless private joke I don't think she deserves to be fired either.
@SUPERBLOWFLY He just wants to see how they're realized with improved tech? Don't see what's wrong with that, pretty common part of what excites fans for remakes. It's cool to see updated/reinterpreted takes on your favorite characters, doesn't mean you value the original version any less!
@Greatapebulldog@Daniel96525632@BrandonHathaw12 Brent crude was $60 a barrel in January so Russian sanctions clearly aren't *that* impactful on global energy prices, at least not compared to production in the Middle East. If getting energy prices down is the priority, the only solution is to de-escalate the Iran conflict ASAP.
@clusterbitch_ I'm almost certain Biden will be looked back on similarly to Jimmy Carter in the future. A president whose administration was unpopular at the time but is almost universally regarded as a genuinely decent guy regardless.
@captainirony16@NewLeftEViews Out of all the obvious insider trading in the past year this doesn't look that sus. The odds will always be high for one more minute to occur in a market like this, and the conference has to end eventually (64 minutes is already pretty long!)
@sichuan_mala You thought about this when you were 14 and didn't bother to do any actual research since? You can just look up the actual numbers dude. US government revenue is ~26-27% of GDP using most recent figures, which is pretty tame by OECD standards.
@JoshFromIndy@HaraldNordgren@Variety Awards are meaningless to WB if the movie doesn't make them money eventually. Those awards may be part of their plan for profitability later down the line, but to say "WB knew the movie was never going to be profitable" is silly. If they knew that they wouldn't have greenlit it!
@TheUnknooowns@NeoReaganism 2% is still fairly low & a reasonable level in my view considering how fractured Dutch politics has been under the current system.
@baleygr728528@imagesaicouldnt Not really how it works, courts would definitely pierce the corporate veil if you tried that. If it was as easy as you make it sound everyone would be doing it!
