I’m betting the person injured themself to get off the plane. Maybe with their teeth. ICE was making fun of it, calling him a cannibal and dumbass Noem just believed it word for word.

She doesn’t seem like someone who gets jokes, even bad ones.

Both you and @DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com are correct. Google bought reCAPTCHA in 2012.

Here’s an article about it from 2018.

Captcha if you can: how you’ve been training AI for years without realising it

And another from 2019! Captchas got harder for us because the AI had learned from our training.

Why CAPTCHAs have gotten so difficult

Oh no! My ATM card! My secret PIN number: 1077.

Welp.

Cartel family members entered U.S. in deal with Trump admin, Mexican security chief confirms

I’d like to fire him from a canon…into the Sun. Melania could be denaturalized.

I forgot about the university programs. Great idea!

Idk Bayer made some hemophilia drugs, realized they were tainted with HIV and Hepatitis after it had started selling.

They pulled it from the US and Europe but sold the rest in Asia and Latin America.

They continued producing the medication for something like a year after admitting that it was tainted and when the updated safer version was available, they told distributors to use up the old stock before selling the new version.

Fuck capitalism.

Given that US citizens are getting immigration court notices and even getting deported, I’m sure this is a very accurate and trustworthy system.

We are in the dumbest timeline.

A classic!

This is how I rolled my car off the interstate.

(I’m fine!)

I was less than a mile from my exit and I thought I could make it. I was trying to hard to stay awake I ended up driving past several exists. Suddenly, I realized my eyes were closed and I wasn’t sure how long they had been like that. I panicked, afraid I would hit the median, slammed on my brakes and swerved.

Once that happened, I was alert and I knew I couldn’t stop the car from rolling so I let go and let it happen. Apparently, that’s partly why I wasn’t seriously injured. I didn’t tense up and try to brace myself. That and seatbelts/good safety design.

I was scared to drive for awhile but it’s fine now. Though, I never speed. I always pull over if it doesn’t feel right. By that I mean, if I’m tired, if there is bad weather, if my car isn’t driving properly….anything. I don’t risk it.

Other drivers seem annoyed that I’m going the speed limit but I don’t give a fuck.

Also anything Samantha says

Omg 😂 I forgot about that

One of my strategies for voting on judges is looking up who in my state appoints them. Do I trust that person to appoint reasonable judges or not? I vote to retain and dismiss judges accordingly.

“Mana Toast. This is toast. It refills your mana. That’s it. Nothing more…Fuck you.”

And much later in the series:

When you get a chance, listen to the audio book. I’ve never heard a better narrator in my life. Between him and the author, I am laughing so much.

I’d like to pay a reporter to ask Trump how it feels to wipe his ass with the Constitution. I’d think it would be coarse and unpleasant, but he keeps doing it.

Ill just stick with Charmin or whatever.

I haven’t seen the show yet so I can’t speak to whether it’s good or not, but I do know some statistics about movie reviewers.

Something like 70% of reviewers/critics are male and they account for 75% of all reviews. 73% of male critics are white.

Of the remaining 30% of female critics, 70% are white.

When reviewing movies with a male protagonist, female critics, give average ratings of 73% while male critics award the same movies an average of 70%.

On movies with a female protagonist, female critics give an average rating of 74% versus male critics who rate these movies with an average of 62%.

The gaps are just as bad when it comes to race.

TLDR- White men make up 70% of reviews and rate movies with female leads significantly worse than female reviewers.

I like it here mostly. The police are shit tho.

Thank you!

I have been timing movie previews since August 2022. I was posting the data weekly on Twitter but I stopped using Twitter when the sale to Elon was finalized.

My Qualifications

I have a monthly pass that allows me to go up to 4 times a week. I also worked at a theater for 4 years, with part of that time being as a manager and projectionist. I have selected and put ad rolls on the film myself.

I go every Sunday morning. I started timing ads and previews before the movie started and logging them in a chart, but I am not a data analyst. I am just an annoyed theater patron.

Movie Previews and Ad Roll Lengths

Note: Most of my data is from seeing movies at AMC. I can’t guarantee every theater will be this way but theaters that use digital film distribution instead of physical film should be similar.

Timing start at the scheduled showtime and start the moment the last ad stops and the film credits start.

If you go to AMC, the Nicole Kidman ad is always the last one. I stop counting as soon as she says “AMC Theaters, we make movies better.”

• You can safely go to the theater 15 minutes late every single time.
• Ads ranged from 17 min to 31 min.
• Once, the movie started exactly on time with no ads at all, but that was two years after I started timing previews. This is an outlier.
• Newer movies have longer ads. Movies in the larger rooms have longer ads. IMAX, Dolby, Laser, Prime, and 3D/movies 4D have longer ads. For these movies, ads tend to run approximately 24-27 min.
• The longer the movie has been out the shorter the ad roll length.
• The studio/distributor behind the movie also matters. Indies and smaller budgets have less ads, but big studios like Disney and Sony have more. Studios like Searchlight and Focus can be deceptive as they are owned by bigger companies but they still aren’t as bad as said larger conglomerates.

TLDR: I tracked movie ad times for years and recommend showing up 15 minutes late.
