i'm always baffled when new things launch and they don't have a fediverse link but instead still on birdsite and maybe instagram, it feels somehow antiquated

@arturo182 @mntmn I dunno I think it really depends on the company. If they are open and community-minded and respect their customers they seem to do fine on the fediverse, even when they do not run their own instance.

The fediverse generally gets hostile when commercial accounts behave as they did on x-twitter or Facebook...just spamming with ad-like posts and limited interaction.

I like Son Of Godzilla a lot, mostly because of the kaiju and miniature work, but I also have a soft spot for Minilla, especially after you see later iterations of Godzilla Jr that suck

This research station has the most whimsical steel utility sheds in the history of the universe! It's like an industrial park but in Animal Crossing

All the scientists doing Important Science Things and the reporter sent to cover it is chasing ladies :blobcheeky:

This is only the second girl named Rako I know of. I wonder if the first Rako I knew was named after this one

msh,
@msh@coales.co avatar

...Like, it isn't that common of a name in Canada and she wouldn't have been born that long after this was released...hmmm...

msh,
@msh@coales.co avatar

Rako basically calling him a girly-man in so many ways amuses me more than it should

Godzilla tunes in the kid none too soon

These two are too sexy for this

msh,
@msh@coales.co avatar

I feel the scientists are adding almost nothing at all to this they should've just followed the island girl and girlyman reporter doing their thing

msh,
@msh@coales.co avatar

:blobaww: finally figured out the nuclear breath thing!

msh,
@msh@coales.co avatar

So the main plot was a bunch of scientists made it snow on a tropical island and oh there were some kaiju fighting too I guess then the scientists effed off into the sea

WTF I dunno

THE END

At least and Rako and her reporter sidekick who may or may not be a man were cute

Still a delightful thanks @Taweret !

The decisions and policy that have the most profound impacts on the greatest number of human lives often aren't the ones talked about most often in political discourse.

What is the biggest difference between life in this era and say... European feudalism?

I would argue it's near universal literacy. And along with simply having access to the written word, the highest percentage of a population armed with some scraps of what you might call a "liberal arts education"

The ability to self-teach.

@futurebird people in power are very much aware that progress depends on an educated society. Progress is exactly what people in power are trying to halt, because progress is what threatens their power.

This is why the people in power are pushing generative AI so hard. It promises (though probably will not deliver) mechanisation of decision making and knowledge work such that labour is commodified and workers are interchangeable. That is more valuable to them than even elimination of jobs.

Ultimately this could result in the halt of progress at exactly the point they want to halt it...where the uneducated masses are most easily managed so as to maintain the current order.

An isochrone analysis shows that none of the suggested replacement facilities is within a 30-minute walk of Inglewood.

@livewirecalgary The "just go to Lindsay Park" reply is sadly typical of how the City of Calgary operates. They talk a big game about "complete communities" and densification and livability and sustainability, but then betray themelves with their actions.

In discussion forums relating to an Area Structure Plans a resident asked about there being no land zoned for a community recreation centre, especially given that the closest existing facilty is already over capacity despite recently having undergone a major expansion.

A city bureaucrat replied that the community in question was in the "catchment area" of two existing facilities, and that the second-closest one was deemed to be of sufficient capacity to handle the demand from the new development. Catchment Area...so...city planners think of people the same way they think of stormwater it seems. Anyways what they mean by that term is an area that is within a 15 minute commute...even if it is by car on a freeway! So...yeah that works :blobrollingeyes:
