I love Tubi. I like to write film reviews, and I use them to broaden my style. They also help me learn about the technical side of film. It’s easy for me to engage with the themes and tone of a film, but the craft of it is what elides me, so it’s been really fun getting to know that side of it through casual study.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When I hear of bailout money being used by CEOs to give themselves bonuses, couldn't the government buy the debt and make sure the money is spent the right way?
4·1 day agoSorry. I don’t understand the answer. My question wasn’t Yes or No. Could you elaborate, please?

2·4 days agoDo you not appreciate the power of the disgruntled and slighted consumer to be able to affect change with their voice? This is a sincere and genuine question. What exactly would a world with no boycotts look like? Probably the biblical Egypt or U.S. during slavery.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You're informed before your death that you will be reincarnated as another human being but with choices as to what to retain from your past life, what are they?
1·4 days agoMy genes. I want the exact same body as I have now. My race and ethnicity and skin color and size and hair and literally everything I am comes from what I look like and how I was treated because of that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you recognize this music box melody?
2·7 days agoOh, yeah. I definitely didn’t think the music box was inspired by my song. Lol I’m glad you solved it though. Funnily enough, the melody, if it’s the right one, was my favorite music box jingle growing up. I had a little one with a dog’s face. The eyes would love left and right, and it had a very satisfying click when you wound it up.

This is a classic Punta song popularized by a Hondureño band, Banda Blanca. It’s sung in both Spanish and the Indigenous language of Garifuna

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Doomscrolling, much? When people love a certain place's content, and there's already a load of older content there, why don't they just go look back through it for their enjoyment? (notes in post)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you could have any pet in the world which one and why?
2·10 days agoThank you. We still have her kids, so that’s great.
I watched The Big Short for the Nth time, but I guess I was talking in general about the U.S.
