Yes. You are misinformed.

I’m not sharing it to discuss it. I’m sharing it to share the information contained within it and it’s worth reading in its entirety. The discussion is a byproduct of the forum on which I share it.

It costs less to add a household than it does to have two subscriptions. Netflix was at least somewhat smart about it.

The news is accessible, just not for free. Doesn’t stop it being good original reporting that should be shared. NYT does provide a limited number of free articles per month. If we only read and share free articles, then we’d miss out on a lot of very solid reporting or even miss the point of the reporting.

For example, earlier this month someone shared a free article that analyzed the NYT’s reporting on near-miss aircraft collisions at airports. Most people dismissed the article since the planes were missing by pretty large margins, but that’s because the actual story reported in the original article concerned overworked and understaffed air traffic controllers. The planes coming too close to each other is a byproduct of that, but that’s what people on Lemmy focused on because the secondary, free source, chose to focus on that more sensational topic.

I mean, data visualizations are important and personally I think they contribute to the article by showing aquifer depletion over time, but do you.

Also, I’ve never really appreciated the incessant need to whine about paywalls [edit: sorry, not directly addressed to you, I know you just provided a link]. Journalists and editors shouldn’t have to work for free or depend solely on ad revenue. I understand if you can’t afford it, but journalism is a job that already doesn’t pay very well. I assume you’d also like to get paid for your work.

Well you see, when a consumer and a product love each other very much…

Not actually sure this is banal? The story is a staffing shortage of air traffic controllers and several near misses due to them being exhausted. Just because there hasn’t been a problem yet doesn’t mean there isn’t a problem at all.

Yes, but the layperson’s perspective doesn’t really matter here and it’s worth reading the NYT piece. The underlying issue is that air traffic controllers are overworked and making mistakes due to staffing shortages and mandatory overtime while working a mentally taxing job. There are legitimate concerns that if this isn’t addressed, we could see actual collisions and casualties.

Kevin Mitnick was convicted. Trump is not yet convicted.

Go a step further: [State] violated its citizens’ rights.

Right, it’s not so much that the words are used incorrectly so much as it is that their use is inappropriate in this context.

All the pieces to the joke are there but Fox proved yet again that conservatives suck at comedy.

Where was Rogan when the Westfold fell?

Yeah but Space Marines though.

Yes, and it appears that had vote counting been allowed unimpeded in Florida, as opposed to undemocratically stopping it for partisan gain, Gore would have won the electoral college and popular vote in 2000.

There’s many but the classic action ones, for me, are The Rock, Con Air, Patriot Games, The Sum of All Fears, Air Force One, Starship Troopers, Pacific Rim, and Die Hard/er.

On the lighter side, I’ll always watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Superbad, Anchorman, This is the End, Hot Tub Time Machine, Pirates of the Caribbean, Blazing Saddles, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and The Emperor’s New Groove.

But if you can afford it buy the subscription.

It’s supposed to imply resources for the humans in the company as opposed to corporate resources.

Mix of both light and deeper shows here, mostly character-driven:

Scrubs - Show about a group of residents at a hospital navigating their first few years of training.

Cougar Town - Show about 40somethings in western Florida, the name has nothing to do with the show after the first five or ten episodes. Same creator as Scrubs. Focuses on the core group navigating life at 40 in Florida and their ridiculousness.

Community - Show about a community college in Colorado that gets increasingly experimental in its story telling. Show focuses on the antics of the core group.

Better Off Ted - Another show about 40somethings, this time in the corporate world. The name, like Cougar Town, has almost nothing to do with the actual show. Focuses on how this group tries to keep ahead of their soul crushing jobs for a corporation that’s literally evil.

Happy Endings - This time about 30somethings in Chicago who are all friends, two of whom are about to get married when the bride runs away at the altar. Really turns into putting this group into various scenarios to see how it plays out.

New Girl - Show about a teacher in LA who moves into a loft with three guys (sometimes a fourth) and their subsequent misadventures in the city.

30 Rock - Show about the cast and crew of an SNL-style variety show airing weekly on NBC out of 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York, grows increasingly absurdist over times.

Arrested Development - About the son of a real estate tycoon who gets arrested for so many crimes and how he tries to keep the family business going despite the incompetence of the rest of the family (and occasionally his own incompetence).

Bored to Death - About a writer who solves mysteries with his publisher and best friend (two different people).

Only Murders in the Building - Show about three residents, two older and one younger, of a classic New York residential building that discover they like the same murder mystery podcasts and then start their own true crime podcasts when they discover a murder occurred in their building.

Veep - About a put-upon Vice President of the United States and the general incompetence of her office and the administration. Surprisingly insightful satire of the actual executive branch in the United States.

Silicon Valley - Show about a group of guys in Silicon Valley and their VC partners trying to build a startup.

Happy to recommend more if you’ve got something more specific you’re into.

I get you. There’s good and bad in law enforcement, especially when it comes to tech and social media. On the one hand, there’s pretty serious crime happening online that needs to be stopped. On the other, wild invasions of privacy. There’s no easy answer at this point and governments obviously won’t police themselves.
