You must have went to a shitty theater if the sound was poorly mixed. In the first dining hall scene, I was so impressed with the talking ALL around me. It sounded like the people behind me were talking.

The loud bits were very loud, but I felt it was intended because one part is a screaming cyclops and another is a thunderstorm at sea. It’s supposed to be loud. I never heard any spots that weren’t loud enough though.

    Sometimes it’s the only location to host your event with a large crowd. Sometimes the most liberal bands perform there, and they’re so big it’s the only one in the city to host that many people.

    At least for climate pledge arena, they regularly make sure to donate to renewable energy, the local tribes, and the community.

    Climate pledge arena is the first net zero arena though. It offsets stuff by buying renewable energy credits from Seattle city light and also solar arrays and whatnot. But still, it could save about 5% more power by turning the lights off.

    You also can’t make a citizen lead constitutional amendment vote in Mississippi anymore.

    When I lived there, MS when from 5 districts to 4 districts in 2000. The state constitution says to get equal signatures from all 5 districts (12% total of the total vote in the last gubernatorial election). Voter ID and gay marriage restrictions were among the ones that passed.

    Then come an amendment in 2020 to legalize medical marijuana for anything a doctor says is allowed. This passed with 70% of the popular vote. They also got signatures of 25% in all the new districts and 20% in the old districts (with much room for error). This was challeneged by the richest county mayor in MS, and the state Supreme Court sided with the mayor saying that “oh yea, you can’t get this because we no longer have 5 districts” rather than going with the heart of the law.

    Did they immediately repeal the voter ID one? Hell no. They even said they’d pass one legislatively if it was challenged. It’s been 6 years. Do you think they have gotten a new constitutional amendment process on the books? Hell no! MS government hates its citizens with a passion, mostly because it’s 30% African American.

    I’m so glad I left in 2022.

    I didn’t even know the link was from .ml. I haven’t blocked the instance completely, just some communities.

    I’m not sure if blocking them deletes their comments like the piefed code suggested, but I’m done. I don’t have time to deal with drama on the fediverse, and I don’t care what comes from this. I just thought others would get a chuckle about how petty this is.
