Just to add some trivia: ChatGpt interprets(/ed) silence as "Sottotitoli e Revisione a cura di QTSS". Now many videos (mainly dailymotion) with autogenerated subtitles have their Transcripts full of the same message
I presume your "merchants of doubt" is referencing the people and scientists-researchers who don't think CO2 is the existential threat or urgent crisis that is being propagated in MSM and by authoritarian politicians with ulterior motives to manufacture consent with the population for more authoritarian-control policies?
That's quite the bold-shalow claim-conclusion with providing no supportive evidence to dismiss all the claims/counter claims and work of these seemingly highly competent and ethical individuals, like these two, for example:
If you only put in that much effort into comments, how much effort do you likely put into adequately researching and sorting through the complexity of issues vs. how dismissive are you of talking points that don't fit your narrative, and how much confirmation bias will you likely succumb to?
They talk about muslim people being so influential but choose to forget the cultural imperialism and unnatural prudishness of the US of A.
There's a documentary on Netflix, "Sex and Love around the world", the "Berlin" episode was mostly around how weird are Germans for going nude.
It's just the usual newspaper argument linking X to rise of technology-bad.
As a young Euro myself I love nude beaches, but rarely went there with friends my age; I think the most common answer was "It's something for old people". Second most common I something about body awareness/fear of being ugly, which is more common in my generation and young people in general. Of course, nobody I talked to mentioned fear of becoming an unintentional pornstar.
I think this is the answer. Both your points are two aspects of the same idea. It's something for old people because old people have the maturity needed to be comfortable with their own body in public. Younger generations are victim of the fake beauty standards promoted by social networks and maybe porn and are a lot more self conscious. Online nudity is filtered, fake, staged, edited... when you go to a nude beach there are no filters, no perfect lighting, no make up, just the bright sun that highlights all your imperfections for all to see.
To be fair, I think it's much less likely that some creep is going to try to record an old person and post it on the internet as opposed to an attractive younger person...
Of course they wouldn’t say it, generally, you’d just be round filed along with 90%+ of the other applicants and never know why.
Unless they’re entertainingly dumb, in which case they’ll bring screenshots. Which has happened.
Most companies don’t want drama with, around, or from employees. They want people who get what they need done, done.
Something comes up that looks like drama? Round file.
And good luck contesting it if they do this - courts generally give quite wide discretion to hiring decisions like this. It would need to be explicitly based on a protected class, which is quite narrow, AND they’d have to have documented it as such - which they’d have to be complete idiots to do.
Oh, and you’d have to know about, and find the documentation.
Do you think HR is going to investigate? The type of company that rejects you for something like that is just going to look at the thumbnail and not mention why they haven't hired you.
Moreover, I’d expect DVD to have higher variable costs (physical, distribution, Blockbuster fees) that increase the time for breaking even.
But maybe the revenue from streaming is much lower to undo all the cost savings.
