They're making it too easy

Like they're so shamelessly blatant about who their reader base is nowadays I just can't

Here's the article if you want to read it I can't summon the energy https://web.archive.org/web/20240507210734/https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/07/magazine/retire-early-saving.html

Finally got around to watching it with my partner last night. The premise is what if you accidentally found a time rift and your dumb friends found out and you get to watch all the different personalities learn how it works in real time. It's a very fun movie with some genuinely impressively planned scifi elements, they squeeze an impressive amount of juice out of the premise.

It's done as if it was one continuous single take, but to work that on such a small budget they hired a theatre troupe for the actors. It was a great choice because the timing of everything is so intricate that hitting all the specific cues must have been critical. All the supporting cast are very funny and bring this excited frenetic energy as they're all juggling learning from the future with repeating their future acts in real time for their past selves, all on perfect 2-minute intervals. It all plays out like a wild magic trick.

Only 70m long too. Recommend this for a movie night with your friends and you will be cool.

But it's good shit definitely more clever than it looks

I shared this deep in a dunk thread earlier and figured there's probably many comrades who haven't seen this data. I think it's very good rhetorically because a lot of libs have an incredibly vibes-based impression that the Soviet Union was just an Animal Farm old-boss-same-as-the-new-boss situation.

Instead, this demonstrates that Russia underwent one of the most dramatic inversions of income inequality of any country in recorded history.

For comparison here is the US over the same time period:

China:

And the UK:

There are so many emotes now I have to expect there are really excellent ones that people don't know about and don't get used.

Sharing is for commies. So now's your time to share!

It seems like when I press it it does the same thing that does, but looks cooler?
