If that’s real, that would be after he was struck, right? The bullet is to his left, and he was shot from his right

The MPAA rating system didn’t start widespread use until the early 1970s, and even then (as you’d expect since since it is the MPA"A") only in the USA. Other rating systems in other countries followed later (for the most part).

So any movie prior to that would have been unrated when it came out. Especially if it was a non-USA production.

Any rating you see on a movie older than that has been applied after the fact.

Does “Jaws” count? It wouldn’t be PG these days but I’d say it counts as horror.

“The Birds” was technically unrated when it came out. I’ve seen it rated as PG-13 now, but not sure what that’s based on since it is from way before PG-13.

“Ewoks Caravan of Courage”? “Star Wars Holiday Special”?

You can say it’s all fun. You can even say you like it all.

I even like the sequel trilogy over the prequels (because I’m of a certain age).

But not sure about “all” Star Wars being “great”.

Most of the people you’re thinking about as a problem haven’t read the Bible either. They’d think the stuff Jesus said was commie, bleeding-heart, socialist stuff (because it is)

You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose.

Or my favorite variation: You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t wipe your friends on the underside of the car seat.

I avoid watching trailers because they are loaded with stuff that I consider spoilers. I skipped past your list of things in the Asokha trailer for exactly that reason.

I understand not everyone thinks that way, but I’ve had too many great moments in a movie/show ruined by poor trailer work (Phantom Menace, Thor Ragnarok, etc). If there’s a movie/series I know I want to see, why risk spoiling it by watching a trailer? I go in so much fresher and ready to be surprised if I avoid them.

So I feel like anything new in a series that is currently airing is spoiler territory.

The guidelines I’ve usually heard is also to give people at least a week to watch an episode. Not everyone can watch within hours of an episode debuting.

From what I can see in your post history, you haven’t commented on a single one. I think I know at least part of why they’re dead. Maybe that’s a Lemmy account thing where I can’t see it though.

But I can’t say that I have gotten a few responses when I’ve been posting. Not always live during a game, but the beginnings are there, considering it’s still preseason.

Sitting on the floor and building whatever I wanted with the, maybe 800, Lego bricks I had.

They’d still be appalled and try to stop him given their strong moral code. And given that they’d be at full strength they’d probably find a way to stop him and reverse things faster than they did in OTL

I can’t think of an Avenger or even sidekick who I would put in the bottom 50% of the earth’s population. Even the dumbest are probably in the top 10-15%.

Edit: I didn’t really think of GotG as “Avengers”, but yeah, Drax and Mantis are probably gone, unless they’re somehow smart for their species. Or unless emotional intelligence is enough to save Mantis. I don’t know if we ever find out enough about Groot to know, but I’d assume he’s in the top of his species. I still think everyone else survives (Hulk survives via Banner, or at least Banner survives).

It’s been done before (though not intentionally at first), at the Salton Sea.

And the results weren’t that bad (granted possibly a smaller scale than some are imagining when they forecast doom).

But the problem is any deserts are deserts for a reason: lack of rainfall and/or natural inflow from rainwater upstream. The result is that you have to keep pumping in tons of water and/or rely on agricultural runoff which is nutrient-depleted and usually full of chemicals.

Read the rest of the linked article for what’s going on with that one.

Plastic fibers would be covered under microplastic concerns, and organic fibers (cotton, wool, etc) are easily broken down and don’t stick around in your system.

Plastics don’t ever go away. They hang around, and we’re discovering they hang around in our bodies too. Organic fiber stuff can be easily broken down or passed through your body.

You can basically roll your own private one with Plex running PlexAmp. You can even share it with friends (or family or whoever… Based on your interpretation of the laws in your area)

It’s not decentralized, and you have to bring your own music, but it’s something.
