- Comment on Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets? 2 days ago:
I mean that style of plane is better for the environment. I would understand a small like 4 seat prop plane. But jets have no better chance of staying aloft than an ATR-72. As long as they are maintained at the same level as the jet.

They are ment to listen to the people in their state and put forth bills or amendments to bills to help the people of their state they represents.
What really happens is they enrich themselves with insider trading and do stunts to keep their name in the headlines even if it hurts people they represent. The reason this works is journalism is effectively broken where it’s all about sensationalism vs actual truth. So they more crazy the stunt the more your name is out there.
They put forward amendments and bills that were written for them by corporations that donate to their campaigns / lobby=bribe.
The reason it works is the vast majority of people ether vote because their party affiliation is wrapped up their personal identity or vote for the name they last heard. Also the vast majority of people don’t vote at all. So they are not incentivized to actually represent.

That’s every other country other than the US regardless of economic system and China is not really communist. Totalitarian yes but they have this weird mesh of capitalism but the government can shut you down at a moments notice to benefit the state or more the officials in charge. America by no means superior but giving credit to a economic system is just incorrect. I could build trains all day long if I could bulldozed anyone’s home and build with zero regulation for heath and safety. The impressive one is the EU. Different economic systems working together with a working rail system between countries.

Yeah Terry Matalas has gone on record that he was more concerned about how to get from one reference and cameo and how much of a struggle it was to craft a story around that.

Advice from a dentist
Be super gentle and just drag across your teeth very slowly on each side and on the top. No need to go back and forth just make sure get close to your gums with only a soft brush head.

To answer your question yeah everything else is everything not going with coffee stain. From other sources I read coffee stain is spinning out and going independent and embracer is getting stock. So I expect an IPO soon.

If I’m reading this right it sounds that coffee stain Studios is being left alone for now. It’s just everything else that looks fucked.

- Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. 2 weeks ago:
Yep people like that that use bots or worse AI to auto post think they are helping but are just bring the dead internet theory to reality.

This 100%, it’s even harder when someone puts a posting bot in a sub and expects people to show up. The best communities started by someone creating a sub and posting things they found interesting. Treating it like a personal link archive. Then people would add to the discussion after finding you. If you are posting for a few weeks and then just gives up. It just makes the problem worse. Since now people have to sift through a bunch of dead communities on multiple instances all named the same.
It has to be built organically it’s like people with video channels on YouTube or peer tube. Making your first video and if it doesn’t do well they quit. Most successful creators made tons of videos before they took off. They kept at it because they were making the videos for themselves for just the sake of self expression as their first priority and the views will come.

Really the modern age should go from 1985 - 2011 for dc and marvel it would be 2018
Then the next agent would be new 52 for 15 years and fresh start for marvel.
Then rebirth for dc after that in 2016
