I do kinda look past the artist for the art, but try to do anything I can to be sure the artist doesn’t profit. I love Lovecraft stories, but reading his works now doesn’t aid him or his family’s assets. I used to like the Doors, Bowie, Aerosmith, etc. I like the music, but won’t search it on Spotify or pay for albums.

While the cultures are different, I don’t get it. Women in the US basically have a “just cause I lack a penis, doesn’t mean I am not equal” mentality. And women earned rights in the UK before the US. Just seems like the misogny would be less over there. Then again, racism was on the decline here, and now it’s like everyone has a golden ticket to be bigoted assholes, so…
When they stole artifacts I was irritated, but rich fucks do that kinda shit all the time. Then they starting pushing for control of their female employee’s health, then the two things that sent me: pretending to be Christian but forcing employees to work during a pandemic cause “my wife said God said it’s ok”, then mass firing after the vaccine came out, and then funding hate groups. They are nothing more than WCN Nazis.
It’s most probable that Rowling is actually trans, but refuses to accept it. Denying it along with degrading empathy due to her financial success just creates a void she feeds with hostility. This leads to guilt, more hostility due to “shame”, etc. Her books portray her actual feelings, but she fell off the wagon because she believes it is shameful to accept a different gender. She has even said that she wished she was a boy. Regardless, funding any kinda hate group is fucked. Believe what you want, but don’t try and stop people from having their own joy if it’s not harmful.
I’m not attacking. But I will remind people of the money that the author will continue to get as her business grows and makes movie/tv/game deals. I won’t attack someone for buying a Tesla, either, but will remind them that buying said Tesla funds a Nazi’s wallet.
I sometimes get ChiFilA food. It’s convenient, my family likes the food, and somewhat affordable. I also know what horrible people that own that company believe. I don’t go nearly as much now, and attempt to dissuade my family from going there. Now Hobbly Lobby? Strict ban hammer on that shithole. So much fucking monsterous, vile shit from that place.

2·2 days agoTrue leaders lead by example. He says ship crews need to put on their big boy pants and just go through, and that Iran has capitulated. Well Con Don, lead us, put your money where your mouth is. Or retire, and shut up forever.

Edit: Can’t find much about it to drive me away or entice me to watch. That AI trailer is absolute festering garbage. Didn’t even get the famous line right. Cast is promising though. Question is, will it be Highlander 1 script material or 2?

2·23 days agoJust brought out my old dvds and put them on hard drive. They were burned 18 years ago and used organic dyes. I recovered avout 50% of them. Old me should have spent more on nonorganic discs… but old me couldn’t afford them back then, so he gets a pass I guess. Plus new me can easily dl most of those discs in an hour or two now.

7·23 days agoI’m convinced this is why the try so hard to confuse people between socialism and communism. In their book, Jesus is teaching socialism. But socialism bad, it leads to the Red Terror… but empathy is evil, fear thy neighbor, reject the foreigner… break your back and get yours, as long as the landowner gets his 99% cut.

Technology@lemmy.world•Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is OverEnglish
10·24 days agoAnd when AI inevitably collapses, programmers should join unions and negotiate for a much higher wage, as they will be in even more need to fix all the shit that gets broken. Everyone knows it’s easier to replace or rebuild, but companies can’t do that, they’ll need their code, their databases, accounts, everything - fixed. That will cost them more than they ever thought they’d save. AI will one day do the things they want, but we’re looking at decades until it can reach that point.

6·1 month agoSony pissed me off a few years back. Day one: wanna share data with us? No. Year later: data? No. Year 3. Your tv will no longer accept internet connections unless you agree to share your data. Ok, fuck. Year 4. 30% apps no longer work due to system requirements. You - bastards. I just used a firestick in it until it died on year 6. Which also sucks since it was $3000 in 2017.
