Well, you have to be a special kind of greedy fuck to become a billionaire, so that might explain the strange overlap on the venn diagram: They’re already pretty tilted people.
Not a hard question to answer when you remember how ridiculously stupid he is. I’ve been calling him stupid for a decade and I’m finally cashing in. Dude has accidentally succeeded a couple times and thinks he’s tony stark. Of course he’s going to say the dumbest shit imaginable because he thinks he’s smart so how could his thoughts be dumb?
His “accidentally succeeding” is really just him buying companies, he’s not remotely creative or good at designing or building or anything really beyond hyping himself up and spending money he initially got from his dad, which is more or less the case for a lot of them.
These were therapy notes, never meant to be made public. She never accused him of this, she was talking something through with her therapist. That does not a narcissist make.
Yes, it seems like a really recent term to me. I first heard it when the writers strike began and never before that.
When I think streamer I think of people on Twitch or YouTube who stream themselves. No idea where calling streaming services/sites “streamers” came from but it always confuses me.
The more I know about Musk, the more I long for the day he is no longer of this existence. What sucks the most is he will probably live longer than me and I’ll have to learn new and existing things about how his influence has changed the world… Usually not in a better direction.
I was going to ask this. Feel like people hate him because it was a he said she said of who originally was the abuser, unless I missed something. Don’t really follow celebs so it’s possible.
The trial showed they were just both pieces of shit. The argument of if one is “at fault” for the other of that specific divorce doesnt matter to the end that it showed neither are good people.
Neither are good people, but I have never seen so much hatred towards one person on the internet than what was directed towards Amber Heard. Literal child murderers don’t get so much hate. And I think, with so much hate towards the one side, people automatically assume the other must be a wonderful human being.
And / or it’s just sexism. Reminded me a bit of the hatred towards that one woman in the show Tiger King.
Yeah, you say that, but in my internet circles all I heard was a poor target and depp was a demonic, twisted abuser who gleefully dragged his ex by the hair through the public mud for having the audacity of trying to escape his abuse.
They were both demonized. People just picked a horse to back.
Half of twitter, specific substantially sized subreddits, the majority of tumblr, and a healthy amount of facebook for some reason, actually. Im hardly friends with websites.
The “”“overall tone of the internet”“” was just the twitter accounts and subreddits you happened to frequent. Not that theres anything wrong with that, mind. But the vitriol was equally abundant for depp.
First time Ive ever heard someone say miller is more famous than jack sparrow tho. Pretty sure he became famous for his crime spree. A spree so cut and dry obviously wrongdoing there was literally nothing to get riled up about. Spacey does have the fame, but… again, rape of a minor is pretty cut and dry heinous. You write them off as evil and move on.
Heard and depp were an argument. It got vitriolic because people picked a wrongdoer and argued with people who “picked wrong” and whipped themselves into frenzies. Kinda cant do that without someone to disagree with.
You could just admit that you don’t care that he’s a creep, borderline pedo and an abusive jackass. I don’t have to waste my time giving you the facts just so you can ignore them.
Oh and I forgot to mention he’s an alcoholic and a drug addict, but I’m sure you think those people are trustworthy.
What the fuck is your problem dude? I asked for some discussion on why a person is shitty, and you go on to be a shitty fucking person to me just for asking you a damn question! Fuck off with your attitude, I just wanted to know what was so wrong with some famous prick I don’t know about.
Always goes young. As he’s aged he’s sticking to early 20s but he’s about 60 so, yuck. He used to go younger. Old men who do this, usually do it cause they want someone easily manipulated and controlled.
Also super abusive and is an alcoholic/drug addict
Oh right I forgot the age gap with Heard and Depp, though I know Heard isn’t quite that young it’s still weird lol. Same with DiCaprio though. What is it with big older actors going for barely legal women?
What am I your Google? Besides, it’s likely you know what he does but don’t care. The texts exchanged between him and Paul Bettany were psychotic and inexcusable. But beyond heard, he’s a 60 year old man who dates 20 year olds and has a penchant for manipulation and abuse. He had great PR during the trial though. Two abusive sacks of shit start fighting, and suddenly everyone thinks Depp is excused for his abuse because he plays a pirate good
It’s a legitimate question. If you followed the trial, it was pretty clear that Heard lied through her teeth about a large number of things and was working hard to make him look horrible. I don’t follow celebrity stuff much, but other than being gleeful about her downfall, which honestly seems reasonable, I’m not sure what he did.
There are tapes of him drunkenly screaming and destroying furniture. There are some other things he admitted to, which I don’t completely recall right now. There are the SMS he sent with fantasies of “burning and drowning” Heard. All in all, the impression I got from that trial wasnt a very favourable character for Depp.
Okay, thanks. I didn’t get the impression that he was anything close to a perfect human getting, and I’m not in the vicinity of being a fanboy, but that trial seemed pretty one sided: she being a horrible, abusive, lying sack of shit, and him hating her but not lying or being abusive.
If breaking furniture and threatening to burn and drown your girlfriend isn’t abuse, then I must have missed something.
Or maybe it’s just that abusers always stand up for other abusers and that says it all about the people who defend the guy online. Especially when he’s a complete stranger to them and they’re paying money to get court records so they can talk shit about Amber Heard on his behalf. Not pathetic at all.
If you did watch the whole trial, not just the Depp PR clips that were disseminated, you could also see how Depp was also an abuser and a creep. But even if heard, who was also abusive had never met Depp, you’d see a whole life of questionable creepiness out of Depp. It’s funny how everyone rips on DiCaprio but Depp is even creepier. His new gf is like 25, he’s a gross old man.
I think the old guys constantly dating the younger women is gross, but as long as they’re all adults it’s a legal kind of gross. I didn’t watch any social media coverage of the trial; my wife watched pretty much all of it and summarized it for me in the evenings, sometimes showing me interesting parts. I saw Depp saying some shitty things, but didn’t see him committing purgery or being overly abusive as Heard clearly did/was. I just don’t see them as equivalent.
The texts he sent, detailing how he wanted to rape, murder and dispose of her body were too far for me, and how he asked his friend if he wanted in on it. That’s not a sane man, no matter what she did to him. And if you look through the whole thing, even though she was worse and lost the case, he was also abusive and drunk/high. Both fed off each other’s toxicity till it blew up. He had great PR though, and the backing of the men’s right types, so he got away fairly clean. Just because someone won a court case doesn’t mean he’s a saint or good person.
Johnny Depp was a toxic boyfriend and a chronic substance abuser. So was Heard, but the fact she’s a dumpster fire of a human being doesn’t make Depp a saint despite what the internet tried to tell you.
Just two shitty human beings who made each other miserable.
No hate because it’s the working class plight, but technically… their efforts are still acting as a detriment guided by rich investors. I chose that word somewhat carefully, you see.
Some of my own work has been detrimental to a sustainable planet - there’s nothing wrong with recognizing the rat race we are stuck in, the bullshit jobs we occupy, or the harm it causes.
no need to hate on union riggers, drivers, gophers, sparkies, chippies, LX, steadycam ops etc
they’re just doing their job. and a good one
Super hero movies are just a fad that overstayed its welcome and studios are going to have to think of something else now. No need to read anything more into them than that.
I don’t agree they have to be, but I do agree they almost universally are, especially modern ones. None of them do anything new or interesting, and none of them try to address complex topics.
He used to go to the same saloon in Seattle that I frequented. I met him right before he started filming Conan. He was a funny guy. I bet he was hilarious mocking Depp to irk Heard. Wish I could have seen that!
One notable flaw in the analysis is that it blindly examines Cob from Tales of Earthsea in the context of Ghibli instead of in context of Ursula K. Le Guin (the author).
Le Guin’s Left Hand of Darkness features a nonbinary race and was published in 1969. A good chunk of her work includes critique of gender and queer themes.
So it’s inane as hell to complain that “It’s unfortunate then that one of Ghibli’s very few unquestionably evil roles is also one of their only transfeminine characters” when Cob is transfeminine in virtue of Le Guin’s original material and decidedly not the only trans* character in her body of work.
However, a valid critique is that Ghibli never goes beyond allusion to queerness with the exception of an adaptation of another’s work. Yeah, Japanese culture/media yadda yadda but someone needs to have some nerve and practice prefigurative politics already.
Mostly just poking fun. It came off as an odd flex (laughing at people who choose to pay for media) while also repping software that has features locked behind a paid tier (a subscription, at that)
For what it's worth Plex has been around since 2009. Emby on '08 and Kodi in '02. So anyone pirating before Jellyfins start around 2018 pretty much would be using either Plex, Emby, or Kodi. Frankly, Emby sucked until just a few years ago, and at least for my purposes for my purposes Jellyfin and Emby don't cut it. Back when I was trying to decide which to use I didn't like Kodi, but I haven't kept up with it so I can't speak on it today.
Plex also hasn't always been subscription only, or at least semi-frequently offer lifetime deals so it's just as reasonable as paying for something like access to real Debrid or whatever.
I-i mean yeah, what losers! Anyone who isn't self hosting bubble upnp streams to connect to their video player are living in the past man!
I was mostly just poking fun. Right now my media is only consumed at one location, so I primarily use Kodi on an Asus mini PC. I will likely keep Kodi as a client, and move to Jellyfin as a server in the future to allow for more clients.
EDIT: I understand downvoting my original tongue in cheek comment. Downvoting my response to someone’s follow up question is pretty odd though. Especially the guy signing in with multiple accounts to do so 🤨
You can’t promote the movie, but can you talk about it? It’s just friendly talk among friends, you know, like colleagues complaining of working on “project x”, stuff that’s definitely not going to become public at all
As a real, professional actor and also as a contributing user of Lemmy, I resent being compared to a reddit novelty account with only one non-sequitur joke that wasn’t even that funny (even to wrestling fans) to begin with.
