@at_dyna@s_fink2@PeterCiszewski A standard 60-watt incandescent bulb produces about 800 lumens. It would take roughly 250 quadrillion light bulbs to match 13% of the suns light reflected off the moon.
@TAmprazis@Bigdaddyvinz_ I give everything a shot now days… thanks to Heath Ledger.
I did not see that Joker performance coming. I was genuinely thinking he’d be garbage.
@UltraRedDot@Bigdaddyvinz_@MGGMU07 But then you have things like “Snow White” which really shouldn’t be race swapped.
I’m not a Harry Potter fan, but I get the impression this specific character, his looks are kinda important.
@UltraRedDot@Bigdaddyvinz_@MGGMU07 The way he looks? Characters who look like the descriptions are important to people. It’s situational though, like Black Panther just makes more sense black even though he was originally white.
@Notyoursisabeg@UKPatriott@Bigdaddyvinz_@Guzman_Tiberio_ That’s irrelevant… marvels black panther was originally white. Did you hear anyone bitching about a black actor playing him?
But I PERSONALLY would bitch if they did this now that we have a more lore established.
@DavidLochhead1@NightSkyNow We are at the bottom of an upward trend, are we speeding it up? Sure of course.
Look into what happens when C02 levels peak. The start collapsing again.
@DavidLochhead1@NightSkyNow What do you think is the biggest issue? I imagine it’s C02 but I would have you read up on earths history.
The great oxidation event, then the millions of years the ocean has been trapping C02 pulling it out of the cycle.
The earth is not some static unchanging rock.
@DavidLochhead1@NightSkyNow Perhaps, time will tell I guess.
It seems that even though we do things that are impactful. We also are the only species aware of those things and make attempts to mitigate them or outright reverse them.
@TheJohnnyCab@NightSkyNow They haven't covered even a tiny fraction of Earth's habitable surface. Not even a drop in the proverbial bucket and Earth is almost completely empty. Give humans time.
@DavidLochhead1@NightSkyNow The universe is hostile and impersonal, and so is all life born of it that we know of.
The only constant is that it’s devour to survive. When the slow heat death approaches, the levels of disparity we will see born of that lack of energy will be nightmarish.
@DavidLochhead1@NightSkyNow That’s a very bold assumption.
It’s would probably laugh at our attempts to protect everything. The largest extinction event in earths history came from microbes just doing their thing. Humans haven’t even gotten close to a 1% or the damage it caused.
@chipsonicecream@John96464265857@UniqueSharonD@datchuguyy No every time they portray a group or organization that’s “evil” is almost entirely white.
Give me one example similar to the RDA but with black or even Hispanic cast.
I shouldn’t have to say this ether but something in the last 30 years. Before you think I moved a goal post.
@TheJohnnyCab@John96464265857@UniqueSharonD@datchuguyy nitpicking a weaker example bc you can’t answer the actual point. Nobody said “all the bad guys in every movie are Black.” The point is that your “media always makes white men the criminals” line is nonsense.
@chipsonicecream@John96464265857@UniqueSharonD@datchuguyy It’s not moving anything, it’s the same fucking goal post.
I’m not counting or using movies with ONE bad character that’s white. I’m specifically talking about movies and shows that portrays evil groups or majorities as all white.
@chipsonicecream@John96464265857@UniqueSharonD@datchuguyy I mean there is no better example as to how you misunderstood what I’m talking about than the fact that you listed “Black Panther”
That would only work if all of Wakanka was evil and oppressing a mixed society.
@chipsonicecream@John96464265857@UniqueSharonD@datchuguyy Training day is another bad example. It’s ONE guy. I’m not talking about movies where one guy is bad or morally grey.
I’m talking about how when movies portray a group or ideology as bad.
Cesar’s legion, RDA, Elysium, Dune with the harkonnens.
@chipsonicecream@John96464265857@UniqueSharonD@datchuguyy We can play the contest only if you understand the point.
The book of Eli? “There are some black bad people in the world”
Holy shit, I wouldn’t use that movie. If you are going to though. All the bad guys are white fighting the black Jesus.
