I’m sure some middle class people can afford to go to burning man. But you’re being wilfully ignorant if you think burning man isn’t catered to the rich. It’s almost purely a status symbol event. It’s definitely where people go to show off their lavish wealth and take pictures for Instagram. I’m pretty sure if they took a survey 80%+ would be wealthy people.

I’m middle class, and I’m spending a couple hundred dollars on my holiday this week, I almost can’t fathom spending thousands living in a tent in a desert.

But you’re right, the middle class has been eroded. What was considered middle class in 1970 would be rich today. That’s just because most people are worse off financially.

If you’re spending upwards of $1000 on a few days you’re probably rich.

Regulations are probably tighter outside China, can’t slap together a skyscraper in 3 months that’ll fall apart in a year like China can.

Guys, I’ve gone back. Turns out you can get Reddit revanced and remove the ads/promoted posts so I’m fine with the Reddit app now. I’m kinda using both but there’s just so much more content on Reddit.

Pollute the moon all you want, better than earth.

Bit late to the party, but either Mortal Engines, the Young James Bond series, or Michelle Paver’s Chroncal’s of Ancient Darkness. They were all very engaging and transformative to a young me.

I probably remember parts of Young James bond the best, there’s parts about leeches that really stuck with me. I can still remember Mortal Engines as a whole in great detail, the concept and descriptions of the city chases are fantastic.

Atlanta is one of the slowest releasing shows I’ve ever seen, and it’s so simple. 4 seasons in 7 years, god damn.

Idk what Glover spends all his time doing, he left community early because he was so busy but has pretty much only released Atlanta, Solo and one album since 2010.

I was half way through the third episode and it dawned on me that I just don’t care. The story isn’t engaging. There had been like 5 minutes of monster hunting which was the best bit. I like the main 4 actors but they’re not doing anything with them.

I might slog through a few more episodes but idk if I can be arsed finishing it.

Did the end of S1 really leave anything open for a S2? These TV shows were the worst thing to happen to the MCU, it all feels like filler content for their streaming service (which it is). I’ve liked 2 of them, Loki and Wandavision.

They really need to ditch the multiverse too, or at least narrow it down. Have a good universe, and a bad universe. Then have the two universes fight. No rules means no consequences.

I just check 1337x’s trending torrents for movies and TV most days when I turn my computer on. Works well enough for me unless it’s a much smaller show. I didn’t notice What We do in the Shadows was back for 3 weeks because not enough people DL it for it to be in the top 100.

Good, I hope it dies and never releases in the UK. Netflix is still good here and has all the old 6+ season shows.

I’d probably say on the release day at minimum, a lot of people have ‘hide read posts’ on and will never see this again.

I’ve only got a out 1.5tb but if I ditched Netflix I’d need to download 10+ shows with hundreds of episodes. I’ve already got a few 6+ season shows on my Plex but it’s mostly 1-2 season newer shows because everything has segregated so much in the past few years. If you don’t have Disney+ and want to see all the marvel shit, it’s adding up quick. It’s not like I’m rewatching all this stuff, I have 300 movies and rewatch one or two maybe once a year. I just keep everything because it’s not very expensive to me. If I need more space I’ll drop £100 and have storage for the next 5+ years.

Then there’s the people who download 25gb 4k movies and shit, I will occasionally but I don’t like to do it.

I sub for the skip intros alone, turns out it affects everyone who watches on your server which is great.

I don’t really utilise any other aspects of Plex Pass but £4 isn’t much to me and Plex is insanely useful to me.

Celebrities with obscene amounts of money is like 1% of actors. Most of them are just Joe shmoes in the background. Actors should get their fair share, I think it’s pretty simple, even famous people have been sharing the low amounts they make from streaming.

At least celebrities really only get paid what the market dictates and actually provide joy/entertainment to the people that willingly give them money. 100% of CEO’s exploit to make their billions - and they’ll never get replaced, they “need” to be in charge, replace everyone else though, they like how cheap it is.

I never got passed ep 2 but this doesn’t fill me with confidence in watching the rest. Why does everything marvel make now have to be a big nothing burger?

Anyone who would’ve left Reddit has already done so, they may be a small increase when Boost/sync becomes available but I doubt we’ll see much growth. No one has ever heard of Lemmy.

All of Scatman John’s music is so fun. Particularly Scatman’s worlds.

Scat was unfortunately killed by Crazy Frog.

I think it’ll be fine with donations, I remember seeing a post from lemmy.ml(?) Admins where they said it cost $30 to run the servers and they’d already received $1500 in donations.

That would be great, all the content, none of the ads (unless you’re actually on Reddit).
