Yes, but depending on the country that could be (public + illegal) if it lists [what is legally considered] personal sensitive information or accidentally reveals someone's secret like the Coldplay incident.
It would be fascinating, but IMO unnecessary and unethical.
I haven't watched much BBT, so grain of salt, open to being called out for mistakes.
I'd say The IT Crowd was more centered about a workplace, even if many of the jokes are about their romances, hobbies and personal life, and even if BBT had workplace episodes. The central set of IT Crowd is their basement office, the central set of BBT is an apartment. And I don't think that's a trivial difference, it changes the kind of humor and how relatable much of it is.
Also, a big gripe about BBT was the laugh track. It's normal for sitcoms to have canned laughter, IT Crowd had it too, but BBTs is uncomfortable. Like trk said in another reply, "If there was no laugh track you wouldn’t even know jokes are happening." There are plenty of BBT No Laugh Track edits on YouTube and it highlights how much better it could be without the forced laughter.
Finally, BBT is a lot more US humor than British humor, not to say that as point in itself, but I feel like it makes the BBT feel to me a lot more like "laughing at nerds" despite that being a major factor in BBT. I also feel that Moss is played more wacky and exaggerated than (say) Sheldon, who certainly has strange peculiarities but is played more subtly or realistically, which I feel makes their character more mocking than absurd parody.
On one hand, to Europe they were just some guy. True.
On the other, they were the co-founder and CEO of a political influencer operation so influential that the US President and their party are doing all this crap to honor them. Kirk is responsible for radicalizing many people into real violence.
The Italian dockworkers are adding a lot of support to this effort. And that's why it's important to understand our power as workers. Many other atrocities have been avoided or shortened by labor unions (typically alongside socialist organizations) throwing their spanners in the works. Once these kind of actions gain international solidarity, the citizens of many countries can stand united to halt the logistics line of this horror, like they have in the past.
Other replies have listed a lot of them, and there are plenty more. Lots of webrings for personal sites are still running. Plenty of BBS-style forums too.
The bottom line is, there are plenty of other people who enjoy those aspects of older websites, whether for nostalgic aesthetic reasons or for the benefits of minimalist design. So there are many new sites being made in the same vein of twenty and thirty year old sites. Just like Lemmy is a breath of fresh air for those who are only used to having ads shoved down their throats, old-style sites can be surprisingly relaxing and refreshing.
I don’t think many anti-capitalists suggest abolishing currency entirely.
Why don't you think that? You're right that abolishing currency isn't implied by abolishing capitalism, but plenty of anti-capitalists advocate for eventually abolishing money in any form (I assume that's what you mean by abolishing currency, although there are other interpretations), and some others advocate to abolish it as soon as possible (I believe, although I can't prove right now, that many intentional communities/communes have done this).
Communism's long-term aim is ultimately to create a communist society. That is, a public, stateless, classless, moneyless society - goods are distributed by need rather than for wealth.
We don’t want people filling swimming pools with cheese and diving into it.
I actually had to check to make sure some e-celeb hadn't done this stunt for content. I don't think currency is what stops people from doing that, just like how for-profit healthcare systems aren't what's keeping people from injuring themselves.
but this rant happens early in the film, and the rest of the story shows how the network it aired on figured out how to capitalize on the ratings it generated
Absolutely, even when I gave the scene a quick watch before posting this, I thought about comments various writers have made about capital's ability to subsume critique of capitalism. The contract reading scene in the Ecumenical Liberation Army house really pulls it into the forefront.
Good work reporting bigots. There's too many of them tolerated in mainstream forums, no need to give them ground here.
I’m not sure exactly what to do as I feel helpless and incompetent to really do as much of a impact.
That's the paradox with collectives - With these large-scale issues, each of us can't accomplish much by ourselves. And when support becomes large enough, it may seem like our contribution is tiny and trivial. But we know that they're nothing without any of us! When one takes a step back, the important impact of small contributions becomes clearer; many of the biggest mass movements of all time started with a reading group or a small band of people.
(as majority protest info are on Instagram/Twitter for some reason which I don’t use any of the two anymore)
I know that feeling, add in Fascebook for my area too. I found that two of the local progressive political organizations near me share the same events they're supporting (one lists upcoming events on their webpage so I can use an RSS feed to be notified, the other passes around a list at the end of each meeting so that only works IRL), hopefully your area has something like that.
Keep in mind that decentralized and distributed should not be confused for individualist. A group of three people can do a whole lot more than an individual.
Well millions of people arrive to watch Lenin sleep, it's only fair.
