Some pretty serious things going on in the world today that need our support and therefore attention. I consume less entertainment as a byproduct.

Thank you so much for the clarification and recommendations! I’ll start with Dial M for Murder and work from there.

I did see Gravity in 3D and was really impressed with it, even more so than Avatar in 3D. But besides that, for some reason I ended up preferring 2D movies in general. As you said, 3D movies aren’t created equally.

Thanks again, some great recommendations there that I didn’t know had 3D releases.

I would have understood this text quicker if the picture wasn’t of a bird.

Edit: wow, this is really amazing! You can jump to 17:40 to see the comparison, but it’s worth watching more of it.

There’s a reason flights are so cheap compared to to rail, and it’s not good news for anybody except the CEOs of airline companies. TLDR: they’re subsidised and the fuel is subsidised to artificially price them below public transport. We could have cheap or even free public transport if we wanted using the same method.

But not Palestine I bet. Thanks for showing us who you are, Germany.

Because agriculture itself isn’t a problem. Rampant (and unnecessary) exploitation, to satiate artificial scarcity is.

Capitalism. I should have known. Thanks for the context!

I thought that honeybees were the last bees that we should be saving since they harm native bee populations, which are move vulnerable.

It’s hard to call that one misinformation outright, since the translation turned out to be correct. But the video of the woman saying those words was clipped short until they released the full version, which is obviously not good enough at all on the part of the BBC.

I also noticed an unusual statement by them in an article shared here on Lemmy https://lemmy.world/comment/18624554

I can’t find a record of the (pretty serious) mistranslation you mentioned.

Thanks. Yeah I think if a company like Ecosia is involved it could be win-win. But if it’s another purely capitalist outfit then it’ll probably be business as usual.

It’s great to see people speaking out from inside about serious bias. Reuters and BBC are two publications that (I thought) had better reputations prior to this.

That’s not the point. This is about legitimising the Russian regime in the eyes of millions, and normalising war crimes in a time of sanctions.

A reminder to anyone who might need it: people cosplaying as transgender do not represent or reflect actual transgender people.

I forgot about the paywall and assumed this was due to their international reputational damage, over things like their pro-Israel “reporting” of the occupations in Palestine.

That sounds clever. With a stewardship, a company without the obscene wealth that Google has could actually adopt a project normally out of their reach and influence it for good.

I wish the article went into more detail though.

Sky News is trash. Surely a better publication has covered this story.

Microwaves are very energy heavy. This isn’t very reassuring at all.

As long as billionaires are campaigning to destroy it, there is no place for that comment you made.

I don’t like touch screens, or screens in general. I miss Minidisc so much. It was and is the absolute best for me.

The iPod with the click wheel would be my next choice but they’re too expensive now. CD cases were cumbersome, and when lined up it’s hard to read the spines. They skip too when I’m walking.

I’d go back to cassettes again if they were released to the same standard as back in the day (Dolby NR, etc). I like handling the cases and they look better lined up on a shelf.
