Sorry to say it but you are in your echo chamber. Large parts of Lemmy are still the braindead vote blue no matter who redditors you know and tolerate.

The frontrunning black cardinal is ultra orthodox who wishes to revert Francis’ decision on gays and abortion. It is entirely possible to be hated on by whites and liberal people.

Could be a Twitter insider then, or someone who saw the writing on the wall since the change was discussed beforehand.

I just blocked them and moved on. It’s just insane it took so long for the admins to finally ban them.

Except the Drag person, obvious troll they keep around.

I just looked it up, it does not look like he made his degree up, but there was an issue where he was going to get his Economics degree in 1995, but stayed an extra 2 years to dual major in physics, then claimed he got the physics degree in 1995 instead of 1997 in business deals. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/musk-physics-degree/

The smarter citizens are patriotic enough to try ans stick through and fix the mess, while the stupid Americans are patriotic to the point of messing it up again.

The citizenship test is only in English, so anyone able to vote will be able to understand English.

Android phones with access to the google play store can download Apple Music, which then has DRM free music you can buy, then you can transfer to your Linux computer.

Alternatively there is an Apple Music website I believe that has direct downloads to computers, I don’t know if it supports Linux files though.

How do you do that?

In the end all that changes is a Saudi company on NSA checks instead of a US one.

I believe the answer can be broken into three parts:

1. valid criticism, when a movie is genuinely bad and has a female lead, the valid criticisms of the film are overdhadowed by slop online articles criticizing fans for not supporting women and hating a female lead. Captain Marvel is a good example of this. The movie has genuine issues, and is not considered a good Marvel movie, but the overall online discussion focused around Marvel fans not supporting a female lead superhero movie, when Wonder Woman found success and Captain America: The Winter Soldier is arguably colead by Scarlett Johanson.

2. Pre box office reactions. Any movie which can be summed up as “X but with women” lands here. Same with any movie which intentionally admonishes the male audience and advertises itself as for women and only, then get mad men didn’t see the movie. Charlie’s Angels, Ghostbusters, and Captain Marvel fall into this category.

3. Genuine oddities and sexism. I believe this applies to the gaming industry more than the film indistry, but it can blead over. I believe the initial outrage over _The Marvels _ was this, but the movie ended up having major issues and went to category 1.

Welcome to lemmy comments. Someone else incorrectly mentioned the Streisand effect so this guy decided to be cheeky and post just the photo.

That is the photo Barbara Streisand attempted to have removed from the internet, the effeft gets its name from this event and photo.

Control over the finalized product. You can easily shape an ad to have your exact message reach the right people, and have that ad be more attractive. With an influencer sponsorship you do not have as much control over the final product or the audience.
