I don't think you should be downvoted for posting the comedy event of the year.

True. Dallas and Houston have a lot of tech too, but Austin has become San Francisco 2 fairly recently. Dell was the big home grown tech company a lot of these other companies and start ups are from California. Nobody would accuse Dallas of being like San Francisco because it's more traditional corporate tech. I think sxsw attracted a lot of people from California.

Well from my perspective it's not that people hate California it's that they hate the influx of Californians in their state. Tons of tech people moved from San Francisco to Austin and now it's near unrecognizable. Austin a long time ago used to be a small city with a lot of charm now it's the tenth largest city in the US. It's not just Californians moving their but they are the biggest group and they are pretty loud about where they come from.

Everything gets more expensive, they bring some of their failed policies with them, and there are a lot of weird ideas that come out of California. I don't mean your generic lefty policies that may upset some old timers in Texas but like the weird transhumanism shit that tech people are obsessed with. It feels like a cult, another thing California is known for, and it's basically the opposite vibe of what Austin used to be. I personally have met a lot of Californians I really like but it's not hard to see the culture clash. Also when I say California I really mean San Francisco and LA, not like Sacramento or the other parts of California. It's the tech people, the Hollywood people, and the groupies they aquire. They leave California due to costs and it's somewhat chaotic nature but then start to transform their new home into California.

If you've ever met old timers in Texas you know great don't like change. They talk about building an overpass as a sign of the apocalypse. So that's where I assume most of the hate comes from.

I know there is some controversy with the ads and that it's closed source but wow this app is really nice. I never used it for reddit I used rif so I didn't understand the hype but I get it now. I'm holding out for an app with multireddit though. That's the one feature I really want.

Are you seriously upset that they are allowing people to watch for free rather than putting it on Netflix? That makes no sense lol. Anyone interested just has to go to a website. Remember when the internet wasn't completely corporate controlled and the best way to share content was on your own site? NASA isn't going to get defunded because people can't see it on Disney+.

NASA is a critical part of the US government it's not going to get defunded ever. Even the most hard conservatives who want to kill a ton of government agencies see the value of NASA and don't touch it.

Got to hand it to Sony for not falling for the create your own streaming app trap. Everyone else tried to battle Netflix and they are all losing even Disney. I think there will be at least 3 dead apps by the end of next year. MGM+ being an obvious one. I can see Disney+/Hulu, Max, Netflix, and maybe one other one coming out of this alive.

More tech to change things in post. I feel like Hollywood is relying too much of this kind of technology to fix poor planning and writing. Look at all reports about marvel films being radically changed in post. You can tell when a film is a patch job.

The Nixon gag in this movie is one of the hardest laughs I've had in a theater.

He started out as aggressive. Christians aren't appropriating Jewish culture lol. Also OP watch Martin Scorsese's movies as they all have Catholic themes.
