The aesthetics are incredible. It’s one of the best looking movies ever. But the plot’s got some holes. It’s fun and pretty but not great.
A Phlaming Phoenix@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Judge cautions prosecutors in healthcare exec murder trial to refrain from public comments10·1 month agoSo I just finished reading the motion filed by Luigi’s lawyer and it kind of sounds like this warning might be in response to that. One argument put forward is that the only evidence of an attempt to cause fear in a generalized population (justifying the terrorism charges) is actually information that the police themselves publicized. The lawyer argues that the only atmosphere of fear in the case was created by the police. So it seems the judge may want to remind officials that they are fucking this up by bragging about it so loudly.

Better send him to el salvador.6·2 months agoImagine being a person whose family member was killed by an immigrant or something similarly horrible. Imagine the government just shipping that guy off without a trial, without a chance to put the evidence on the table and show beyond a shadow of a doubt they killed your family member. Is that justice?

The unitarians are pretty great. I personally know a minister and he’s very big on community outreach, supporting other local support programs like our independent food rescue, and preaching a very positive and inclusive message with minimal woo. And he has never once asked me to attend church.
A Phlaming Phoenix@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•More than 400 anti-Trump rallies planned in another wave of US protests1·2 months agoSo idealistically (I know, there are regional, logistical, financial, and other challenges, but idealistically) the people on strike are actively pooling and distributing their resources to help the people who are put out worse by it. That hopefully sustains people long enough for the strike to win out and for people to return to work with their problems remedied.
A Phlaming Phoenix@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?7·2 months agoHonestly, just about anything in the web application hosting vein. httpd, nginx, redis/memcached, varnish, etc. You could make an argument that MS-SQL outperforms Postgres sometimes, but in my book, the cost of entry isn’t worth it and I’ve only ever used Postgres since I left an explicitly Microsoft shop many years ago.
A Phlaming Phoenix@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?91·2 months agoIt means if your abuser comes back to you and swears they’ve changed and they can totally be a part of your life again… You can tell them to fuck off forever because you can’t forgive what they did to you. It means not feeling bad about that.
A Phlaming Phoenix@lemm.eeto LGBTQ+@beehaw.org•Exclusive: Trump White House directs NIH to study ‘regret’ after transgender people transition6·3 months agoThis is essentially what the existing research shows, that transition regret is quite low as compared to regret for other things like medical or cosmetic surgeries, and that most regret concerns how they’re perceived and treated in society.
A Phlaming Phoenix@lemm.eeto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Almost as annoying as the windows evangelists4·3 months agoAt least part of this is the decentralized/complied nature of a FOSS operating system. You don’t get a command called grep because someone making design decisions about a complete system holistically decides that tool should be called grep. You get it because some random programmer in the world needed a way to find patterns in text so they wrote one and that guy called it grep and someone else saw utility in packaging that tool with an OS. It’s a patchwork, and things like this are a culture of sorts.

A Phlaming Phoenix@lemm.eetoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Eight California sheriff's deputies sacked for covering up a fellow officer's attack on trans man61·5 months agoHere’s what’s really fucked up, though: These cops charged their victim with three felonies (these articles don’t say which ones) and later dropped them to two misdemeanors when the video came out, then dropped the charges entirely when it looked like they didn’t have a case. None of the cops - including the one who left a domestic violence call to beat a man up for flipping him off as he passed - have been charged with anything. The only charges filed in this case have been bogus ones against the victim of police violence.
This whole thread needs to listen to Samaritans by Idles.

I quote this movie weekly at least, often with sound effects that make people think I’m crazy. Love this live action cartoon.
