Seeing this meme has set me on a Mr Sunday Movies binge. I’d been off them for a bit since they were mostly covering things I wanted to see and didn’t want spoiled
Considering what the device on the left is capable of compared to the device on the right, the cable management on the left suddenly looks very elegant and efficient.
For a second I thought you looked up their birthdays and this was literally about the fact that Tobey Maguire was 23-years-old playing a college kid and only one year younger than this actor playing a middle-aged dad and it was a funny haha moment about Hollywood casting and age discrepancy between actors and the characters they play.
Then I did some more thinking and remembered that Spider-Man 2 came out in 2004 and I am an idiot.
BTW Tobey Maguire was born in 1975 and the other actor’s name is Peter Allas and I couldn’t find his birthday.
It feels like lemmy users are too shy because of reddit popularity.
I see you’ve never heard of the 90%/9%/1% rule of social media users.
90% are lurkers. 9% are intermittent posters. 1% are heavy use posters.
It’s not that people are shy, it’s that literally with a fraction of the userbase Reddit has, that 10% that actually makes posts is just a smaller number of people.
Stupid easy to adapt the sign into a meme format if you wanted to
I actually tracked the original photo down, and this picture was changed. The original text wasn’t “4 children for sale” it was actually “Hey lemmy users , lemmytors or whatever, lemmy is desperately in need for commenters. Can’t expect to compete against reddit comments. They have thousands of users and and a few of their comments are bound to become super popular just because there are so many of them. It feels like lemmy users are too shy because of reddit popularity. For instance in this case don’t tell me you didn’t wonder whether the photo was real or not and then got afraid to just ask.”
The photo first appeared in The Vidette-Messenger of Valparaiso, Indiana on August 5, 1948. The children looked posed and a bit confused as their pregnant mother hides her face from the photographer.
The caption read: “A big ‘For Sale’ sign in a Chicago yard mutely tells the tragic story of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Chalifoux, who face eviction from their apartment. With no place to turn, the jobless coal truck driver and his wife decide to sell their four children.
Mrs. Lucille Chalifoux turns her head from the camera above while her children stare wonderingly. On the top step are Lana, 6, and Rae, 5. Below are Milton, 4, and Sue Ellen, 2”.
Family members accused the mother of being paid to stage the photo, which may have been part of the story, but unfortunately, she was dead serious about selling her children. Within two years all of the children pictured, as well as the baby she was carrying at the time, were sold off to different homes.
This photo has also circulated on Reddit and elsewhere for years so most of us have probably already seen it and were aware of the true and dark history surrounding it.
Please provide them then and make sure they are studying UNIVERSAL basic income and not targeted basic income. If they didn’t give it to everyone and instead selected applicants it isn’t studying UBI.
This isn’t a list of studies it is a wikipedia link and if you are going to insult people’s intelligence you should probably understand the difference between a link and a study.
