Something racist about the way black people smell, I think is what they mean.

Anything over a $500 million in asset value taxed at 100%.
Far above what anyone should own. And yet, you'll get middle-class people defending the people with those riches, that they deserve to keep their billion dollars.
Or yes, sail the high seas
This guy's first problem is watching movies on his cable provider's on-demand service. On-demand has been crap since its inception.
And then:
We are now at the point in the history of show business where a bad experience is free and a decent one costs extra.
This is literally how it's always been. And this the crux of this dude's issues. He's not willing to pay for content and is using freeware and crapware to watch movies. You can't complain about a bad service if you're not paying for it.
He wants the solution? Ditch cable, buy movies and TV shows or pay for streaming services without ads. It's really that simple.
The biggest problem is that federation splits the communities between instances. So a single interest may have 5-10 different communities, all with fewer users than on an equivalent subreddit.
I've been saying this since the beginning, Lemmy needs a way to follow topics that allow you to subscribe to all related communities at once. And posting to a topic on one community allows it to show up across different communities of the same topic.
You don't really with physical these days either, at least not with video games. Lots of games require online services to play then and become bricked when the servers are shut down.
And then most of the time, a disk doesn't even have the game on it. It's essentially just a download license for you to download the actual game digitally. It's all an ownership scam.
I'm not thinking this is going to be good. I love Cate Blanchett, love Jack Black, and Kevin Hart... but the actors were definitely not the right choice for the roles. Kevin Hart is tiny when Roland is a massive dude, Cate Blanchett is just too old for being Lilith, and Jack Black will just be Jack Black and not Claptrap. And where's Mordecai and Brick?
We'll see, but video game movies are always a crapshoot because the producers rarely understand the source material.
Feels like The Onion is on their game today, between this and the Trump $399 furry tail.

I'm of the opinion that people making less than 50,000 a year should only be paying like 5% in taxes and FICA/SS. And anyone under 150,000 taxed at 10%. Because the people making above that can afford to pay the typical 20% or more, but less than 150k is not all that much these days.
And then the mega-rich need to be paying way more than they do. Not just income tax, but capital gains tax and tax on the total value of their assets above 5 million (don't @ me with this number, it's an example) or whatever.
It really warms my heart to see unions coming back strong.
Probably everyone should avoid Alabama colleges in general.
