  • James Gunn, Nathan Fillion and more on MAGA outrage over director saying Superman is an immigrant: ‘I don’t have anything to say to anybody’ spreading hate

  • Right? I haven't seen any of the movies. The only Super...person stuff I've seen is CW's Supergirl and I knew his origin story when I was a child in the 90s.

  • I have never bought anything from Amazon and I don't plan on it. I do understand that sometimes it's the only place to find something that a person might NEED though - and at a price they can afford, so I don't hate on the people on tight budgets that can't find an item anywhere else. (It's like when people buy stuff from Walmart, Target, etc. sometimes it's the only place where you can get necessities.) However, if you can afford to get it somewhere else then do it...or if you can only find it on Amazon maybe reassess if you ACTUALLY need it.

  • Yes, you can tell which specific typewriter was used to type something so long as there is either a slight defect (for lack of a better term) if two letters are closer to/further from each other or a letter is a little higher/lower than it normally is.

    PLUS, because different people hit the keys with different amounts of force, each machine wears out at different rates and so the keys wear out at different speeds, so there'll be different wear patterns to the keys.

  • I don't knot the thread like in the picture. I anchor it into the fabric.

    1 - Pass the thread through the fabric once, leaving a short tail. 2 - Pass it through the same spot to form a loop, keeping that tail from step 1. 3 - Pass it through the loop, but not all the way to form a second loop. 4 - Hold the tail, pull the second loop to tighten the first loop down to the fabric. 5 - Pass your thread through the second loop and tighten down to the fabric. (Sometimes I do a third loop before this step, but not always.) You have now anchored your thread.

  • Big streamers argue at CRTC hearing they shouldn't have Canadian content obligations

  • That comparison is apples to oranges. (They're both fruit, but they're different types of fruit.)

    Both socials and streaming show videos, but they're different types of platforms.

    With social media that has videos, the users create the content, not the platform. Aside from so called Community Guidelines, they don't control what's created or by who. And as long as there are Canadians on the platform creating content then Canadian content is being created anyway.

    Whereas with streaming, the platform controls what content is on them since they either license it from other companies or they create it themselves. They spend money on all of the content on their platform, so they should be able to budget out some money for Canadian content just like they do for American-based content or any other culture/country's content out there.

    They can't be compared simply on the basis of 'they both show videos'.

  • Considering how popular Schitt's Creek is among the people I know in America, Schitt's Creek could also be another option, hehe.

  • For every $1B (CAD) of revenue FROM CANADIAN SUBSCRIBERS ONLY they currently are supposed to allocate $50M (CAD) - that's that 5% that enkers shared from the article.

    The revenue numbers I saw for 2024 had Canada and America lumped together as one region, and that was $17.17B (assuming USD here), overall revenue $39B (USD?). America always has higher revenue numbers than Canada so let's say $5B (CAD) came from Canadians then they'd need to allocate $250M (CAD) to their content creation.

    In 2024 Netflix spent $16B (USD?) on creating content...I'd say that $250M (CAD) is doable. Hell, $500M (CAD) is doable if Canadians contributed $10B (CAD) to their coffers. ($500M (CAD) is almost $360M (USD) at today's exchange rate....)

    I don't know about Paramount or Apple's numbers, but 5% of what CANADIANS give to any of them is more than doable.
