What we’ve seen is the exact opposite. The state is running huge deficits, burning through its war chest, and the economy is very hot right now.

Letterboxd does movies and they’re working on adding shows as well. In the meantime I’ve been using Serializd for tracking shows.

Get that paycheck Ryan, but I’m going to sit out this one

Dialogue editing has been standard praxis in Hollywood for decades. Nothing has happened here that couldn’t have been done manually.

Also, they could have just hired a Hungarian actor for this part and had authenticity, instead they hired Adrian Brody and used AI to make him seem more Hungarian.

Not really. You don’t get your movie funded when you hire a random Hungarian actor, and it would’ve been pretty weird if the character suddenly had a different voice when he speaks in Hungarian.

Yougov hat auf ihrer Website eine Prognose für jeden Wahlkreis, da sieht es aktuell nur nach einem in Berlin aus. Wenn dann werden sie es wahrscheinlich über die 5% erreichen müssen.

Why don’t you answer the question?

They blocked the TikTok domain in China. What would you call that, if not a ban?

You are naive if you believe they aren’t going to sever the communities. That was always going to happen.

TikTok is banned in China, so why would anyone ever expect this would be different in this case?

I don’t even disagree that it’s a fine headline, but this community shits its pants everytime an article isn’t extremely accurate in it’s headline, so it’s funny to suddenly have an army of people descent upon this comment section to defend specifically this one.

“Some” would be more useful in this instance, as it would distinguish it from the general case. That’s pretty standard behaviour for news headlines too, right? This study does not concern itself with iron age populations in general but specifically celtic communities between 100 BC and 100 AD in Britain.

I never implied that it would mean “every single man”. That’s a pretty strange way to read my comment.

The word “some” at the beginning of the headline would have been a perfectly acceptable qualification of the phrase which also would’ve better described the actual findings of the study.

Calling it now, it’s not gonna happen. And I’ll be back in this threat when dust settles

The only vibe I’m getting is “edgy 15 yo who just learned about politics”

Because there is no doubt China will surpass USA at some point in the very near future.

There certainly is doubt. The population is already declining and the economy has been growing far slower, as of late, than it should. The US also has more powerful allies, we’ll see how much damage Trump will afflict on that front. China’s ascent seemed certain a decade ago, now it is doubtful.

Well, agreements aren’t worth the paper they’re written on if you can’t enforce them when push comes to shove. I agree that the US is less interested in meddling in every affair all over the world, but it’s a mistake to think that they’re not interested in maintaining hegemony and their status as the pre-eminent superpower. That’s the whole reason for the pivot to Asia, and both the Dems and Republicans are in agreement there: The goal is to contain China.

Ukraine won’t join the EU

The danger, from Beijing’s perspective, is that the US can cut off or constrict maritime trade in the event of conflict or high tensions. China is a major importer of both, fossil fuels and food, as well as dependent on exports for its economy, as we all know. So controll over Taiwan and the South China Sea is seen as absolutely crucial, obviously to China, but naturally to the US too.

Unhindered access to global shipping, mostly.

Viewing habits have changed, that’s no secret. People go to the theatre more as a social event than just as an avenue to watch a movie. In most places there are ways to go to the theatre relatively cheaply if you make the effort. Don’t get drinks and food, go during the weekday instead of weekends, matinées, some theatres have loyalty programs, smaller movies are also typically cheaper, etc.

If you want the big blockbuster premium experience, then you’ll pay premium prices, but that’s not the only way to see movies in theatres.
