Man, articles like this should put the guy's age in there somewhere near the beginning so I can see if he's old enough to be getting senile.

I never got that either. It's clearly the best of the three from the new trilogy. I mean, low bar, but still

the threat of homelessness is coercive.

Well foxes and rabbits and blue jays don't have capitalism or government, but if they don't put in some work to eat and get shelter, then they won't survive either. That isn't a "threat," that's a physical truth of the universe that has existed for millennia. Nothing is achieved without work and input.

No one appears to have yet mentioned Forrest Gump. In the book he was a chess grandmaster who wrestled professionally and was an astronaut. Also, the book sucks.

I retried and got all three instances logged in an synced. It's a slick little tool.

I just tried again, got all three of my instances logged in and synced up. Nice work, and thank you!

Out of three instances, I've only been able to get this to log in to one of them. I'll try again later, maybe it's a network thing. Lemm.ee and lemmy.world are not logging in on this app, lemmy.ml is so far the only one that works.

I'm gonna have to disagree. Hell's kitchen has been on for nearly 20 years now, Master Chef for over ten, etc. They're on multiple networks and are popular in multiple countries and continents. To say they're "designed" as a recruitment tool is just ridiculous. They're "designed" as entertainment, and they are entertaining. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent by networks producing these kinds of shows in the past 20 years, they're not going to spend money like that to advance some agenda of "getting people to work as cooks," they're gonna spend that money to advance the agenda of "I and my fellow entertainment executives want more money in our pockets."
