ignorance and paranoia about radioactivity go hand in hand.
i know so many otherwise smart people who lose it on this issue. because they just think any radioactivity = destroy planet forever . completely ignorant to how it actually works, and just think every power plant must eventually chernobyl and that one barrel of nuclear waste is enough to destroy 1000s of miles or something equally absurd.
totally sad.
it’s not about science. it’s about public perception. masks didn’t stop covid. vaccines did.
people will not wear masks again. they would probably get another vaccine though.
ending covid = getting rid of mask mandates, in the publics viewpoint.
you realize that civil suits take years and a lot of money? not all of us have 50K in the bank to hire a lawyer for 2-4 years so we can get the payout.
The govt telling anyone to do anything is authoritarian.
The issue is if you agree with what the govt is telling you, or not. It’s only authoritarian when you disagree.
Politically it will be suicide for the democrats.
People do not want to be told what to do. They do not want to be inconvenienced.
Personally I hated wearing a mask. it was a huge pain in my ass, and mostly unnecessary most of the time except on public transit or in like a very crowded place like a grocery store.
I don’t wear a mask anymore, but people glare at people that do. I also got a lot of harassing comments when I was wearing a mask last year.
because wearing a mask is for pussies.
it’s really as simple as that. it’s seen as weak and pathetic and makes you an object of ridicule.
because wearing masks did shit. that’s why.
vaccines did.
yeah when he became president again 6 years ago.
it’s racist. it’s also true.
Just give up on the lame star wars tv series already. jesus
yeah but like the CEO might have to cut back on his Yacht outings next year. think of how hard that will be for him!
No. they most just have old nbc shows from the 90s/2000s
it’s not hard sci fi. It’s marvel.
it should be shit canned.
they really need to lay off this nonsense and focus on a few good shows with compelling characters outside of the classic trilogy. like Andor. the emphasis should be about world-building, not nonsensical nostalgia cash grabs like the last trilogy was.
the entire thing is stylized. not sure what your criteria is, but wes anderson is not aiming for realism.
The last film made 80million on a 50million budget. It was a flop.
The muppets don’t sell to children anymore. That’s why. There is also no longer a lot of money in properties that are multi-layered in their entertainment approach. It’s much easier to produced lots of specialized content. Muppets are essentially a period piece of the 70s/80s and even in the last movie it was more of a nostalgia for adults than anything else.
Kids today grow up today entirely on CGI movies/tv shows. I have four newphews who mostly live on youtube. They like Star wars and Marvel. That’s about it. They have never little interest in anything else. I showed them one or two muppets movie and they thought it was ‘stupid and boring’.
china is causing a fuss for political gain. a huge chunk of their fishing practices are illegal and violates international law anyway. their concern is theatrics to drum up their anti-japanese nationalism.
