I watched the movie last year. Very much an anti-capitalist, borderline communist movie. A good watch if somewhat depressing.

Unrelated, but I just learnt that Dick van Dyke is 100 years old as of last December and still kicking.

As they say, (willfull?) ignorance is bliss.

I just upload the image to Lemmy itself in my posts.

Sometimes the conspiracy theorists pop out of their echo chamber and make a statement that seems reasonable and widely accepted to them but can only be believed if you first believe 17 layers of propaganda, leaps of logic and generally brainrot. Usually all fed to them by bigots and billionaires.

They are then surprised by normal people clowning on them and instead of reflecting, they just tell themselves they know something the normies don’t and that makes them special.

Nice house

I said something similar here about an election fraud detection system with 99.999% accuracy.

Wait, this is real? I thought this was a joke…

Like “Back in my day, bananas were bright purple, but that breed died out.”

Edit: Oh, it’s DDR4. $30.

Ah, now the joke makes sense. Thanks.

Wasn’t sure if it was some sort of typo.

Wtf is “depends” here?

I’ve seen both in the UK. Personally, I’m a shoes off guy. Means less cleaning needed.

Shoes off means you don’t wear shoes inside your house. The reverse the opposite.

Just binged the whole thing and it’s pretty funny, though a bit objectifying.

Yeah, that’s why I’d like them to build more social housing.

The lifecycle of social housing projects like these, as I understand them, is meant to be that you continue to build them, and as the old ones reach the end of their lifetime (around 60 years?) you demolish them and move the people into the new ones.

In practice, most places are not continuously building them as they should, so many of them are reaching the end of their lives without a plan for where to move people afterwards. This shows a lack of foresight and long-term planning.

Of course, politics are a fickle thing so the latest government can choose to decide that actually, poor people should be punished for the failures of the system and long-term initiatives fail.

Social housing typically doesn’t look as good as high-end apartments, but it doesn’t have to look terrible. Here’s some pretty neat looking social housing in south Paris.

It’s kind of the China Town of Paris.

It’s right next to an accessible tram station, has green spaces and social areas spread around, a couple of malls with great independent restaurants right next door. There are cycle lanes all around the place.

If you’re curious, here it is on Google Maps

I’d live here. I only wish there were more neighbourhoods like this.
