Apple supplier Foxconn rejects married women from India iPhone jobs
  • Well that's the neat part, it's by design. It's not a coincidence that now when we are more connected to each other than ever, now that instant communication would make it possible to coordinate globally, the powers that be instead focus on divisiveness above all else, on misinformation and contrarianism above all else. A nation divided is too busy fighting each other to realize they can make it over the mountain.

  • New Study: At Least 15% of All Reddit Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public Opinion
  • I've seen at least 2 usernames that submit A LOT, and if you search your feed i'm sure you'll be able to spot them easily. They also comment on rising posts quite a lot and personally mod a few communities. I've not seen them repost content that doesn't get traction, but they do repost content taken from reddit

  • Pixar CCO Says Live-Action Remakes Bother Him: “I Like Making Movies That Are Original”
  • You said it yourself that you were holding on to watching luca because nobody told you! That's literally waiting on what everybody says before forming your own opinion. Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying you are FORCED to like it, but rather than you should be the one making that decision.

    Also, saying you are burnt out with disney because of crap movies is also deeply subjective. Other people may not think their recent movies are crap, after all they are really not that different from the stuff they did earlier. What makes you think they are, though? You provided no grounds as to why you think that, you just said it. Maybe you should re evaluate what role nostalgia plays in this, but really pixar movies have not changed as much a you seem to think.

    And again, i mean no hostility to you and i get why you might hate a giant corporation like disney. But generalizing in the way you are doing, without regards to nuance, is one of the reasons the movie industry is as it is now.

  • The thing is that 'actually good' is something subjective, and that it WILL change what it means person to person. What happens nowadays is that every piece of media will be analized extensively for every possible flaw (and if none, create some), which will be magnified online as negativity promotes engagement. You can see this happening daily online, with everything. Then, the way the online hivemind works, people will associate these 'flaws' with the media product and society will enforce its opinion on the average user. It's a meme to be negative about something, and our brains like to be part of the 'in-group' so it also feels good. You can see examples of this on every cult classic that was hated when it came out.

  • I mean, you are literally the living example of what i said in the other comment: mindless rage dictated by the opinions of influencers withouth nothing of substance. You admitted yourself you never watched that movie and here you are spewing word vomit. Remember that the opinion of the masses is not the truth, and even more so in something as subjective as art. Then you ask yourself where this decadence is coming from.

  • Movies (or movie style, more properly said) changes all the time. I don't get what are you trying to say here. But just because animation has gotten considerably better, it doesn't mean they are different. As an example: luca (one of recent pixar films) has the same style and charm as brave (pixar movie from 10+ years back) and as toy story (pixar movie from 20+ yeara back). All of them capable of making me cry. Their animation style has gotten better and more polished, but they beat with the same heart. But luca (a post pandemic film) didn't amass the same number of people to the theaters, because people are finding more convenient to wait for streaming.

  • Pixar CCO Says Live-Action Remakes Bother Him: “I Like Making Movies That Are Original”
  • That was almost 2 decades back. The movie going experience has been permanently changed, for better or for worse, after the pandemic. He isn't wrong when he says people won't go to theaters for a new IP. That, plus all the rage clic bait that bashes any new thing even before it release, regardless of quality, that plagues the internet nowadays paints a grim enviroment for the movie industry.

  • Baldur’s Gate 3 Is Getting Official Modding Support
  • It's quoted from the website in my previous comment. If you take the time to answer, at least read the comment ffs

    Anyway, it looks like you are just arguing for the sake of arguing, so I'm done here.

  • Baldur’s Gate 3 Is Getting Official Modding Support
  • You skipped the part where it specifically says you'll be able to create script mods with their modding tools, you just won't be able to publish them there. But you will be able to upload them somewhere else

  • Baldur’s Gate 3 Is Getting Official Modding Support
  • I mean, they ARE releasing modding tools. And from their Website , it's clear they also have no intention of preventing mods from outside their pipeline. Also, they don't have to have 'authorization' from WotC to release modding tools FOR THEIR OWN GAME (but they do have to respect certain guidelines)

    Changes that won’t be officially supported within our pipeline, like scripting changes or NSFW mods that wouldn't pass the moderation process due to platform-specific restrictions, may still be packed locally with mod.io’s toolset and uploaded to other mod distribution platforms>

  • DnD fan made stuff is covered under the OGL, which allows players to modify and create their own content under the 5e ruleset. That's why many creators can produce (and monetize) their own stuff without having to pay a license

  • Only telling people my height in cm from now on
  • Not European, but from a country that also uses the metric system. We give out our height in meters, as you said. Saying it in cm would be okey for medical reasons I suppose. Also there isn't much difference in what unit you use, you just have to multiply/divide by 100, which is easily done in your head
