Minimize, minimize, minimize. What do you actually NEED in the room? Start with that question, then remove everything else. Add things back SLOWLY, one item at a time. Another poster mentioned verticality, and that’s good. Wall space is typically unused space.

My first thought: thank God it wasn’t an American tourist this time.

Honestly, this would be a non-issue if we could block instances at the user level. Since they’re not federated yet, and User-level instance blocking should be coming, I say we wait and see.

Would compressed air or a dust buster be better for this? Or both?

They’re expecting lawsuits to fly, and don’t want to touch it with a 10-foot pole lest they get dragged in.

A big problem with this is that since 2016 the bots and hired commenters have thoroughly poisoned the intellectual well. What used to be considered extreme in 2016 was so artificially boosted that now real people have completely bought into the bullshit.

I wonder if you could guesstimate based on ad-buys - cost, interactions, etc.

Sadly this is very true.

Only when it’s pointless.

Two words: female Bond.

Plenty of great movies with females and/or female leads. Ghost busters was not one of them.

Plus I can pause to pee, vape away, set the volume on my surround sound exactly where I want, etc. And my 84” 4K DV/HDR+ OLED may not be a gigantic silver screen, but I enjoy it. Combined with 120TB of storage for Plex, I’m more than happy to wait for the bluray remux.

I used to fucking ADORE going to the movies - but nowadays, it needs to be a spectacular spectacular. Last movie I saw in the theater was Top Gun 2, and it was worthy.

No. Marketing typically equals production costs. So $400mm production + $400mm marketing = $800mm breakeven.

Kbin has this ability, but Lemmy does not (yet).
