My favorite Mad Max film is Thunderdome.

/action Takes shovel and starts digging what appears to be his own grave.

I think Fury Road has amazing visuals, cinematography, practical effects, stunts and all that. But I really did not find the story of the characters interesting.Honestly it felt more like Fast and Furious than Mad Max.

xylogx,

It is hard to separate nostalgia from any rational opinions I have about this movie, since it came out when I was a randy and uninformed 15 years old. That said it had really interesting characters, a plot which I could follow and I especially liked the village of kids from the crashed plane. It had a Lord of the Flies vibe, but with a counter-narrative to the doom and gloom theme that humans will revert to barbarism, but also not an idealized, utopian vision of what would happen. Even Bartertown had an element of social commentary. It seemed to be offering different versions of how people would organize themselves if we wiped away current civilization and social structures. Which one is better? It does not directly make a judgement, but in some sense Max is fighting for what feel “right” to him in order to redeem himself for not being able to save his family and all the terrible things he has done in the wake of the disaster to survive. Honestly Thunderdome is one of my favorite movies.

This is basically the premise of the show The Boys.

Is Mater a Kilingon ship?

Inconceivable!!!

Stop spying on us.

Privacy problems are not policy problems, businesses are choosing to invasively collect data in order to pad their coffers. This is not welcome and just because you try to hide this fact in obfuscated policy language it is not ok.

xylogx,

So you are saying it is only mildly interesting?

xylogx,

Sometimes I have weird problems uploading from Vger on Linux depending on what browser I use. I have to use lemmy.world directly to fix it. Maybe when I fixed it it didnt make it to kbin? Thanks for letting me know.

I would focus on getting top posters from Reddit to move over or at least cross post.

A defined benefit pension puts market risks on the company. A 401k puts the market risk on the individual.

Is there a progressive organization that writes model legislation?

ALEC is a conservative group that writes model legislation in the U.S., and hundreds of their bills have been enacted in different states. Many of them are harmful. But you have to admire the model in some ways because it’s working. It saves legislators research, it propagates the “best” policies and implementations from...

xylogx,

The EFF is one such group:

xylogx,

If you look at the link it contains two pieces of model legislation.

xylogx,

Thank you!

xylogx,

When my kids were younger I monitored their usage and restricted their access. As they earned trust this eased up. Now that they are teens they are mostly free to do what they want. I will still ask what they use their phones for and we have frank conversations about it, but I will not invade their privacy unless there is a good reason.

xylogx,

This look to me like an advocacy group successfully advocating for common sense legislation:

“Advocates for menstrual equity who oppose a tax on menstrual products say the taboo around menstruation and the lack of access to menstrual products hurts women economically because it costs them money for products and may keep them from attending jobs and school. Poor menstrual hygiene poses health risks for women, including reproductive issues and urinary tract infections.”

xylogx,

First commentor missed the Cassandra side effect: you can do nothing to change it and no one believes you.

If you were asked to think of something you never thought of before, what would be the most reliable way to do it?

When I read about how most of our thoughts are repetitive, I wondered if it would be possible for us to have a thought that is completely new or original by will. Is there some way we can have unique thoughts whenever we wish to?...

xylogx,

This is like coming up with an original name for a D&D character: you just put together sounds until you get something that sounds cool. Here is one:

Bryo-Kernatz

Once you have the name it helps you imagine the character it might belong too.

Good call, you ate provably right.

Atlanta-area prosecutors investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia are in possession of text messages and emails directly connecting members of Donald Trump’s legal team to the early January 2021 voting system breach in Coffee County, sources tell CNN.

xylogx,

What exactly was the breach? There is no detail about what data was accessed or who accessed it in the entire article.

This is the only comment in this entire post that makes any sense. Thank you.

xylogx, (edited )

I have used my Yubikey to do FIDO2 auth on Linux Mint with Chromium and Firefox. I have tried M365, Twitter and Facebook but any website that supports FIDO2 should work.

Did not need to install any OS components.

xylogx,

If someone injures you through a false statement of fact you can sue them for libel.

It is hard to do more than that without encroaching on free speech: people are entitled to their opinions. That said , free speech is not absolute and has linits.
