I don't have an issue with it. Nudity is natural. It's an American thing to think people need to be sheltered from it.

However, I don't know if Barbie was targeting a young audience. They certainly weren't excluded, but I think at least half of their target were millennials. I'm a man, and I know a lot of my peers, and myself, watched it and enjoyed it. I'm pretty sure the thought was probably a movie for the parents that the kids will also want to watch.

(Also, kids are not watching these events. Even if they love the movie, they aren't going to watch this press event.)

Looking at the community, the rule is not enforced. There are other not open-ended questions up and doing fine. At best, assuming this is intended to be enforced, it's being enforced selectively.

Assuming you're being perfectly honest and fair, this rule should be changed. Questions that require elaboration from "yes/no" should be (and are seemingly) allowed. Sure, questions that can only be answered with a "yes/no" aren't providing a discussion. The trolley problem, for example, can be answered with a yes or no, but invites people to expand on why.

That's a stupid description. "Would you pull the lever if X is tied to trolley track a and y is tied to trolley track b?" is one of the most famous thought provoking questions, and it can be answered with a yes or no. Your definition is totally wrong and just ad hoc to dismiss this question. It is not the reality.

Notably, this is not part of the community's rules. If this were a reasonable definition, it would be. Good luck trying to enforce it.

It definitely wasn't blanks. They killed a person behind him. However, that doesn't mean it was legit either. Apparently in wrestling, to sell them getting hurt, they sometimes sneak away and cut themselves with razorblades so they bleed. With Trump's background, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he got the technique from that.

He ducks behind the podium and comes up with this scratch. Did he have it before or did he create it? We can't know, and there's enough oddities that I question it being real. For example, they had someone that seemed to be perfectly calm, who directed photographers into two set positions, to capture his image with the flag behind him. It all seems very odd.

If he's wearing one, it protects against pistols at most. If you want to stop a rifle round, you need plates. This guy is not going to be carrying around that much weight in plates all the time. He can't even walk on his own as is.

For something that's viewed negatively by pretty much every culture, it's surprisingly comoon in video games. Even games with karma systems, it usually isn't registered as a "bad" action. It's just something you're expected to do. I wonder why that is?

To be specific, he wrote this as the government of 1984 to the main character, trying to convince him to give up (which he does). This wasn't him saying this of real life directly at least, though he was obviously inspired by the real world. This is what the government wanted him to believe though, not reality necessarily. Assuming they're correct is how they get you to give up.

If there isn't a reference to Space Janitors I'm going to be upset.

For the same reasons Reddit sucks. They got too large and they think they're in charge of Lemmy now. The staff there have a lot of issues, and they think they can use their power to control Lemmy. I'd recommend leaving, because users being spread out is what makes Lemmy resistant to the issues that made Reddit horrible. It's fairly easy to change instances.

People have pretty valid issues with the way the team runs Lemmy.world. It's nothing against the users though. They were just lazy or whatever and just chose the largest instance, giving the staff there power, causing them to behave as if they run the fediverse. It's honestly an issue that people don't spread out more. If you're a Lemmy.world user and reading this, you should consider migrating. It isn't that hard and keeps Lemmy from becoming Reddit 2.0 by ensuring no instance has too much control.

Dude, soldiers are trained to aim center-mass, and they're trained killers. Some civilian, who doesn't have nearly the same amount of training with their weapon, and also is much less likely to be going up against armor, definitely doesn't have a reason to go for a headshot.

A rifle, even firing an intermediate cartridge, such as a 5.56mm NATO round, has a pretty good chance to penetrate all but plate carriers. You can bet our president isn't going to be walking around with plates on. Even still, the neck is almost certainly lethal. The head has pretty low odds.

The head may seem like the way to go, if your only experience comes from Call of Duty. It isn't though. Even trained marksmen don't go for headshots, unless that's the only option.

If you know what you're doing, and not just someone who plays video games, you would. It's a much easier target, and usually fatal. Hitting the head is unlikely to be fatal unless you hit the brain.
