It’s more for things like the batgirl movie that is finshed but will make more money in tax write offs to never release it. But if they lose ad revenue from removing a back catalogue, that may also let them post a loss and claim tax breaks.

The simple answer to this is to change the tax code to not allow for write offs for completed projects. And to shorten how long copyright lasts (fuck Disney so much for that one)

We’re rapidly hitting a point where the government is going to have to buy their house to get people to leave florida thanks to climate change.

Insurers won’t even insure houses there anymore.

I would love to but the amount of ads on that article make it absolute cancer on my phone.

An add every other paragraph. It’s fucking gross. And yes. I am using addblockers.

Bigotry, misogyny, and Palestine. If she came out for limiting arms sales to Israel she’d be crushing trump.

Reality is you are not going to convince the entire world to turn to a vegan lifestyle. Period. And if you attack people for not wanting to change, you are going to make them resist that change more.

We don’t have the economics for everyone to suddenly become vegan - it’s fucking expensive. We also don’t have the nutritional education for everyone to suddenly become vegan. People have to be willing to research that in order to not malnourish themselves. And most people are simply too lazy to do that.

Not to mention the massive amounts of food deserts in the country that would make finding vegan options for a fully vegan diet impossible.

Asking everyone in the world to live off vegetables and supplements is insane. We are not there as a society yet. And I have no intention of driving a hummer. It’s too damn expensive.

Just like eating a proper vegan diet is if you’re actually trying to meet all your nutrients.

There was a local radio station near me that would host a summer festival every year. The tagline was ten bands for ten bucks.

And we’re talking big name bands too - Smash Mouth, Bush, The Offspring. Usually 6-7 big bands and a couple just starting to break into the scene who were always huge 1-2 years later.

They just rebooted it this year. $50 plus fees for 6 bands. It’s still a decent deal considering but not the same as it used to be.

I almost bought tickets to that since they were gonna be in town on my birthday but decided to wait.

Covid hit a month later. Was so glad I didn’t get those tickets. Was gonna be $250 a pop for the cheap seats.

Yeah but now what happens is scalpers use bots to buy up all the tickets and immediately resell them for a markup. And ticketmaster is happy to get their cut.

Happened when we went to buy Bruins tickets last year. What was orignally a 75 dollar seat was not a resale seat for 140. And this was the nosebleed section.

This is why they’re getting sued by the DoJ. And why Harris needs to win if you guys don’t want Trump to immediately quash the suit.

And the artists aren’t getting most of that money. Ticketmaster is. So they’re hurting artists as well.

I hope the FTC beats the snot out of them in their lawsuit

I don’t hate vegans in general. I hate it when they prostelytize at me and try to shame me into being vegan. And this it the problem many people have. There is a vocal minority of vegans that will attack others for not sharing their lifestyle (I’m looking at you, PETA). I have no interest in giving up meat. I will pick more sustanable meat sources sure, but i will not be attacked for my choices.

Don’t come after me, I won’t come after you. I likely will even try to bring a vegan option to a pot luck for you.

Trump deregulated the fuck out of things while president and this is likely one of the effects

Only for them to be destroyed in another 20 years by the rich

Nah. Break out the guillotines, it worked well for the French.

At this point capitalism is just feudalism with a stock market.

The answer to the mentally ill homeless problem is not enshittification of cities, it’s the creation of high quality government run long term care facilities with approprate action taken against those who abuse the residents in these facilities.

Which is helping more. It will also be cheaper than enshittification in the long run. But you liberals will never understand that sometimes you have to actually spend money on social programs instead of running to the right whenever the republicans say boo.

All your arguments are running to the right. Reagan would have been proud.

Oh god forbid we create a society where thousands of people don’t need help!

They can easily declare AIPAC a foreign lobby group and prevent them spending money in out elections

They did it to RT. They can do it to Israel. And Saudi Arabia while they’re at it

God they’re so stupid.

Israel will not stop until we take away their ability to continue.

When this war ends, Netanyahu will be removed from power for his prior crimes and likely jailed. He doesn’t want that and he’s murdering Palestinians to be sure he never sees the inside of a cell.

I wish we had an actual viable option for ending this war. But my choices right now are vote for the genocide or flee the country because Trump has promised he will make my wife’s life hell day one.

Talk to a vet before even thinking about trying this.

I am a vet and unless you have the diet formulated by a veterinary nutritionist and then follow it TO THE LETTER, trying to feed a cat a vegan diet is abuse.
