Megalopolis seems like a bit of an outlier here because of how much of a labor of love this was for Coppola personally. Most of the film's funding came from Coppola himself and I'm sure he used a few of his connections he'd made over 50+ years in Hollywood to get it produced, but I don't think anyone involved ever expected a narrative-heavy sci-fi(?) film to break any box office records in 2024.

As for the rest of the movies mentioned, I feel like it's a combination of A) too little incentive to see a movie in theaters and B) film budgets seem to be wayyy too high for the final product.

I'm so sick of every single medical-related question people have online constantly getting spammed with 'talk to your doctor!!!!'

The way people online constantly say 'talk to your doctor' like it's a panacea is a lot like how medieval peasants weren't able to read scripture and they just had to trust their clergy's interpretations...

Ever wonder why you never see Clark Kent and Superman in the same room?

Also, let me guess that the OOP also believes that the second amendment should be abolished and that we can peacefully vote the police out of existence? The left's aversion to responsible firearm ownership will be (and, is) the literal death of them. I fear.

I think you're reading into it a bit much. Cops love to rile people up to break the law. They get off on it. I was just making a joke off that

I know this is an unpopular opinion in the live music community but you are an inexcusable dick if you dive into a crowd, full stop. No one at the front wants to catch your 200lb ass. Seeing a band member do that immature shit (and paralyzing a fan in the process) is a good way to make sure I never listen to them either

Loud music and a reason to squeeze yourself into your way-too-tight leather vest from highschool isn't an excuse to turn yourself into a human wreck ball. The pit is usually a few rows back for a reason.

Kevin Costner on physical media: "DVD is not dead" ( www.joblo.com )

“Death of the what? DVD is not dead, at all,” Kevin Costner said. “That’s what they’d have you believe. Maybe it’s not making the same amount of money, but just try to go ask for that from the studio. They won’t give that up. A lot of people that like my movies, they can’t get to a theater, and they’re waiting...

Ford has been mismanaged and only kept alive through BS, anticonsumer protectionist policies for decades at this point. It's my opinion that they genuinely don't even know how to run a successful business because "going under" hasn't been a real concern for them for longer than most of the executives have been at the company.

Ford has average reliability

best truck on the market

Well which one is it? I've literally only seen suburban LARPers who can't even thread a ratchet strap buy or defend Ford trucks. I've spent decades of my life on construction job sites. You wanna know how to separate the serious career guys from the burnout cons? The smart ones are driving paid off Toyotas and the idiots have light duty domestics.

most potential truck buyers

Most potential truck buyers are car buyers who get upsold on the lot.

Toyota fanboy

I honestly hate a lot of Toyotas and Japanese cars in general. Very sterile, boring, but their reliability and repairability is just a known fact, which is why I would only recommend the brand to people who only need a car as an appliance. I am an unapologetic fanboy of vintage Volvos though.

He literally said there is no reason to ever buy any other vehicle than a Toyota.

I said that I'd never recommend anything maker other than Toyota for a new car buyer, which I wouldn't. There are no other makers right now with as strong of offerings as Toyota left. Some makers have competitive models, but no brand has as solid of a reputation.

Also wrong about the second part, I said that the stick Tacoma was more fuel efficient than the automatic, which I'll admit is not the case anymore

Ah, yes, the American consumer. Famous for their great financial judgment and ability to live within their means.

You fundamentally have misunderstood why Ford is successful

Protectionist policies, corporate lobbying, hostage market, historical opposition to union labor, and outsourcing production to Mexico and China? I understand those reasons well.

You type like you're from Twitter (currently X) and I recommend you go back.

I don't disagree with your sentiment taken in a vacuum, but gentrification (of housing and activities in general) is 100% a real thing and is almost always due to rich people trying to live a "frugal lifestyle." Idk man, shit just sucks all around

Untrained, unfenced, and possibly rabid pit bulls should be removed from a neighborhood where kids walk. You've been following my posts with that misrepresentation for a month now that I can only conclude that you're so offended because you have a pibble that you let wild in neighborhoods and are mad that you got called out.

Who solves a CAPTCHA as a prospective paying customer?

A bathroom remodeling service who sells bathrooms on the order of $5k—15k has a contact page that requires a CAPTCHA. It’s as if customer dignity has been tossed out and merchants no longer see the need to respect the traditional role of serving their customer. So I have to wonder, are customers who are willing to spend...

PP_BOY_ ,
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

More than likely just a default setting of whatever site building software they're running. I doubt that any bathroom remodelers are coding their own websites to include CAPTCHA. I'll agree that CAPTCHAs are always infuriating though

Getting paywalled. Does the article say anything about what the cost for the stations is? Like most subsidized infrastructure, I'm guessing that the taxpayers have paid well over market value for the 7 charging stations.
