Re:Are film critics losing sync with audiences? on Tuesday April 12, 2022 @12:49PM (#31005135)
also consider the fact that you might have a 40 year old reviewing videogames when the target audience is like 4 years old. my kid and the typical video game reviewer probably have different opinions about the latest paw patrol game.
well the amazing vaccine at best works for 4 months, if that. considering i've recently had covid with minimal issue, i'll take my chances with natural immunity.
i'm not convinced. my whole family got it a couple weeks ago. me and my kids are all unvaccinated, we had very mild cases. my wife was vaccinated and was basically bedridden for 2 weeks.

sounds like it worked

this article takes a very limited view of propaganda. the vast majority of material that the average human is exposed to on a daily basis could be considered to be propaganda.
this will be looked back at in the same way as Lobotomies a few years from now
uh we've already been in one for 2 years lmao

is ksh still relevant today? at my first job i worked on IBM AIX systems that only supported ksh, and all the old timers were convinced that bash was inferior
I have a different interesting "problem".

I have prime and I don't know why. No one is paying for it, but i get prime shipping on everything. If i try to look at my prime settings i have the option to sign up for prime. not complaining though.

Re:CD sales grow for first time since 2004 on Friday March 11, 2022 @03:15PM (#30645448)
it is a problem. if you go to buy the album today, the updated versions already have the offending samples removed. the originally released CD does not have this problem.

cant you just pay the mechanic to take care if it for you while you are doing your important humanity saving work?

one problem i've found with music is someone discovers an uncleared sample, and the album either becomes unavailable, or stays available with samples removed so its not actually the same album anymore.
to add to that, its pretty common for respiratory infections to take months to clear up. its not a covid specific thing
better hide inside forever just to be sure

it's pretty wild comparing Strangers with Candy/Colbert Report Stephen Colbert to today's Late Show Stephen Colbert, I wonder what happened.
im planning on moving out of state in a few months from high cost area. what i've been told is that my salary wont change but I will be at "top of band" in the new area.
>The Japanese media and text books are notoriously light on truth. You should not take them at face value.

and american media and text books are not? i think people are just uncomfortable with the possibility that the bombings may not have been justified

Your quotes are from the US government, my claims are paraphrasing things i learned via Japanese media while in Japan. the truth is probably somewhere in between.
not really, I saw a documentary about it when I was in Japan.
Japan would have been willing to surrender, if the terms allowed for the emperor to remain in power. This was actually in the original surrender draft, but Truman wanted to drop the bombs so he removed the provision at the last minute.

In the end we dropped the bombs and then let the emperor stay in power anyway.

>It's at least possible we could do the same here if we didn't have such a high level of resistance to getting vaccinated.

why hasn't the flu been eradicated then?

>It was only after (in the US) vaccination rates levelled off and Delta came along that I began hearing people talk about COVID as endemic.

that's because most people have no idea what's going on. experts were saying this was the likely outcome from the begining
