I don’t know that it’s hard to hire. You can’t just not have income under capitalism, and you don’t have a lot of choice as a worker when pretty much everywhere is offering the worst conditions they can get away with. They’re more likely to replace you than give you a raise.

No one asked him to change the movie or to anticipate audience reaction beforehand. I just think he’s a moron for endorsing rude (and occasionally dangerous) behavior. (Possibly also for making a terrible film; haven’t seen it.)

I was suspicious about the idea that cops were getting called over popcorn, and wouldn’t you know it, there’s more context:

In another video with police involvement, embedded below, an officer says that a group “body slammed” a theater employee. (Theater employees are understandably not loving the situation.)

At least one person has even brandished a live chicken in a theater at that moment.

Also the idea that large teenagers intentionally dumping whole buckets of popcorn is the same as what a six-year-old spills accidentally is just stupid on its face. If you think you’re old enough to vape, you’re old enough to not be an asshole.

I’m sure the understaffed folks making minimum wage really appreciate all the extra income this film is bringing their overlords.

It’s from the movie. At one point Jack Black says “chicken jockey” in a very loud and serious tone, and it’s exactly the sort of line a Twitch chat would latch onto.

Why would they have to get rid of agriculture?

I think you replied to the wrong post. This is supposed to be under the one about him defending himself, right?

I dunno though. Abuse is obviously easier in a physical sense from the statistically larger sex, but I’ve seen it go both ways, especially in the sense of both partners being abusive to each other simultaneously. When it comes to celebrities, I will just let the appropriate authorities decide what’s what instead of trying to have an opinion on people I’ve never met. I would feel better knowing that the authorities aren’t often biased by things like racism and sexism, but they’re still better than any zero evidence speculation on my part.

They aren’t though. They’re rectangular at the top and then have cylinders coming out the bottom. I think the heels of his shoes might be square on the bottom.

Making me realize Spongebob isn’t even square.

I think y’all who are upset over the use of “freeware” are out of touch with how language is used in non-expert settings. Like, I’m definitely more tech-savvy than most people and I still didn’t know about “FOSS” as a term until seeing it on Lemmy and looking it up. This just means “free software” to me and doesn’t imply anything negative.

It even says, “the premier free and open source image editing software for multiple platforms” right in the first paragraph, so what’s the issue? Do you think the headline will mislead someone into thinking that GIMP is proprietary?
