The SAG is more than just the big-name celebs that come to mind when we think of "actors/actresses". It also covers all the extras and up-and-coming talent who aren't powerful enough to have negotiating power. One of the causes behind the strike are the parasites wanting to pay extras a day's work ($187) to come in and get a full body scan done so they can continue to use their likeness in perpetuity.

So they're organising boycotts and funding more union movements too right?

The Bob Brown Foundation has been fighting this. The bastards promised no more native forest logging but caved to "Sustainable" Timbers Tasmania.

The @ points your browser to the community on the right instance. As for the link taking you to the base instance while on kbin, it's because kbin uses /m/ instead of /c/ as a separator like Lemmy. So for you to visit that NCD from kbin, the link would be https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]. Also it looks like kbin is still having problems receiving updates from lemmy and vice versa.

Fuck the corps. That's what piracy is for.

It's IT. Just wear your most recently ironed pair of khakis and a collared t-shirt.

The notification bell not clearing properly is making me irrationally irritated.

It's the cost of materials and labour that is the biggest contributing factor in driving building prices up. Any solution to the shit build problem would drive prices up. More stringent licencing and better enforcement would still drive prices up as it will reduce the labour pool. There's no two ways around it. We as a society seem to have forgotten that you get what you pay for.

Those look like the perfect spots to put in mixed-use residential blocks with shops on the lower storeys and apartments above that.

At that point, we might as well nationalise the whole grid.

Let's nationalise the whole grid...
