But wouldn’t someone have to be living in the houses? I feel like empty buildings wouldn’t work.

Why isn’t this in shitpost community?
I can get a Whopper Meal (includes fries and a drink) for $8.50CAD ($6.13 in fashy bucks) with a coupon or on Whopper Wednesdays.
If you’re gonna be an elitist about ground beef of all things, you deserve to get scammed for $17.
But how do you feel about special characters?
Yeah but there wasn’t an algorithm picking out all of that shit and giving us a constant stream of 100% pure troll heroin.
Seeing one post in fifty telling you garbage puts it into the context of “that guy is saying some weird shit”. Seeing only garbage in your feed makes it seem normal and those opposed to it are the weirdos.
Are we criticizing women voice actors here or are we assuming voice actors are given direction to do this?
So depicting violence is fine because people don’t do those violent things. Except people will do violent things (like Jan 6) but when that happens it’s because they they saw a lap dance being depicted?
I doubt someone without depth perception would crash either. They’d notice the straps on the side, and things not being the exact colour shade. Might think it was a big piece of glass set up on the road, but that wouldn’t be something you’d just plow through.
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.cato Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL RFK Jr. is married to Cheryl Hines who plays Larry David's wife in Curb Your EnthusiasmEnglish7·4 months agoWell there was the episode where he started wearing a MAGA hat… but not because he supported the politics, he just wanted to be ostracized by everyone.
Pope Francis made a bunch of new Cardinals from all over the world, so nobody knows what will happen.
Given the latest reports, the current Pope is either going to make a full recovery or died a week ago. We’ll probably find out in about a week.
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.cato Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL - China changed the ending to Fight Club - "final scene of the buildings exploding is replaced with a black screen and words that say the police discovered the plan, stopped it.."English174·5 months agoIt’s actually really effective. People are going to hear about a movie and if they feel like they already saw the movie, that’s the end of it. If it’s banned completely, they might get a bootleg DVD and watch the entire uncensored movie.
Kinda like how TikTokers think they’re well informed, and don’t bother seeking out information elsewhere. But try finding anything out about what’s happening in Hong Kong, the Uighurs, or Tianamen Square on TikTok. It’s just not there yet people using that platform never consider what information they aren’t seeing as long as there’s enough there to make it feel like it’s not missing anything.
China is actually really good at censorship. When people see 95% of things they generally won’t put effort into finding the other 5%.
Old news. It went super nova a few months back. But they’ll probably keep us from seeing it for about 600 years.
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.cato Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that every so often, Warren Beatty does a cheap TV special where he's interviewed in character as Dick Tracy so he can retain the screen rights.English3·5 months agoYeah and it ran until the 70s, so there will be a lot of legal land mines with using that character for quite awhile.
Yes everyone is aware of this power so are using the word as a propaganda tool to further their causes. And everyone is aware that the word is being used as a propaganda tool.
The scary part is that by watering down the meaning of the word, it’s made actual genocide more likely. If everyone is constantly being accused of genocide all of the time then no one will know when an actual genocide is happening.
It’s 2025, everyone is both doing genocide and is denying genocide all of the time. Unfortunately that word no longer has any meaning.
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.cato memes@lemmy.world•What was the last original movie you saw and how did you watch it?3·7 months agoYeah I was talking about TVs… we are discussing movies after all. Moreover, TVs that the average person has.
There’s a huge jump in quality between the TVs the average person has now compared to 20+ years ago.
I think the spell is based around trust, the vampire has to convince you to trust them enough (either through charm or trickery) to invite them into your private living space. I think an outhouse would work since there’s a major expectation of privacy there.
I think a warrant would help the vampire convince people to trust them (a judge trusted them to execute their court order) but probably wouldn’t be enough on it’s own. Because it’s not about convincing someone else to say it’s ok to enter your home, they have to convince you to give them permission. But the vampire could say “I have been ordered by the court to search your house, may I come in?” They’d have to wait until you’ve read the warrant, maybe call your lawyer, and your lawyer would tell you that you have to let them in. Then you’d likely give permission to the vampire to enter your house because your lawyer told you to. Because lawyers are just another kind of blood sucker, aren’t they?
