Filmmaker, webdesigner, creative, in MN. I am here begrudgingly because there's interesting people, but I'm very suspicious of Bluesky's ownership and operation, so I probably won't post much. On Mastodon at https://mefi.social/@RealDerekDahlsad

Unfortunately OK and NM are largely due to the huge, impoverished Native American populations.

Oregon's interesting - it looks like their high usage is they just really try to get people eligible to actually apply, vs making the process discouraging, particularly where there's high unemployment

Oh, man, I'm in an online History of Rock and Roll course, and in his prerecorded lectures the teacher talks *so* slow, punctuated by "um"s, I have to play it at 2x for him to sound normal. I will admit, I am also a person who would rather read than watch or listen, so much wasted time.

I found that really soothing to watch, though, I know there was more than once I got lost in the little blocks moving around and suddenly it was 2am.

That includes visual distinction during purchasing -- I once had three bottles of the same conditioner because I managed to somehow grab it instead of shampoo more than once.

Myself, as cameraman, holding my shoulder-rig mounted camera above my head to get a better angle of an actress, sitting on a mattress on the floor.  The atmosphere is dark and moody with bright light shining in the window behind us.

Prairie Public Broadcasting out here in Fargo-Moorhead is facing the same problems. They're both so valuable to the community I hope they can figure something out.

On the other hand, puritanical American filmmaking wants its movies expanded out to 180+ minutes by adding 45 minutes of extra punching and gunplay (as long as there's no blood and when people get shot they fall down right away. Rules don't apply if target is a robot, then body horror is fine)

In Pulp fiction, there's a small part where the line gets cut off and he says "I'm just a coffee shop--" and he's listed in the credits as Coffee Shop

They keep talking about how they're going to deport millions (or even a tenth of that) but they build holding cells for 3,000 here and 5,000 there, they're not actually planning to only hold that few, they're going to cram as many in as possible, or find some way to "get rid of" the excess.

Part of this argument is involved in whether people who transition "regret" their decision, but, like, if we banned behavior that people regret, most people's college years would be boring and lacking in life lessons

I hope they're moving to more of an anthology model like Predator or Alien - the *dinosaurs* are the stars, so put out a well written basic adventure story, lots of people getting chomped on, cast a few stars, and since there's not direct sequels you can't assume Zendaya or Chalamet won't get eaten

Chernobyl - jehovah - same syllables and similar enough in sound (ch/jh, no/ho, buh/vuh) for a kid's synapses to find a link between the two, I can see how it happened.

Makes you wonder how many times he did that but found nobody on the other side of the fence, and walked away with the sad Charlie Brown music playing in the background
