Even though I kinda like “Not Just Bikes” it feels a bit too much of a pro Netherlands propaganda channel for me.

In comparison a “Honest guide” just feels more honest.

Also I have to add “Brick Technology” since it’s the “Brick Experiment Channel” but more.

Max0rs Ace Combat videos are gold!

😂

Christ it’s not that hard to understand. Everytime a woman achieves something in public, a whole bunch of people have to figure out SOME way to say it’s not that impressive.

I was not referring to that. I was thinking about your weird ramblings about inflation.

I think the commenter was referring to this paragraph.

According to Dergarabedian, only about 50 films in history, unadjusted for inflation, have hit the billion-dollar mark.

But if you are only talking about the female director thing, then yeah I agree, that’s nice.

I still don’t understand any of your other comments though. But let’s leave it at that.

This is how Wikipedia adjusts their numbers:

InfInflation adjustment is carried out using the Consumer price index for advanced economies published by the International Monetary Fund. The index is uniformly applied to the grosses in the chart published by Guinness World Records in 2014, beginning with the 2014 index. The figures in the above chart take into account inflation that occurred in 2014, and in every available year since then, through 2022.

Basically they are adjusted so that 10 $ in 1939 is equal to what it’s worth today. Seriously it’s basic economics.

And no, inflation is mentioned every single time someone somewhere brings up a film from the highest grossing films list. Because Gone with the wind is the highest grossing film ever.

Just because you didn’t notice those other times doesn’t make this time worse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_correlation

At the end of the day, highest grossing is a worthless metric to measure in except that it’s just a bit interesting. Don’t take it too seriously.

Edit: oh and to be clear, she is still the first solo female director with 1B$. Adjusting for inflation doesn’t change that (except if there is a movie with another solo female director that goes above 1B if adjusted)

Nah, people bring it up every time any of the highest grossing movies are discussed, like Avatar and Avengers Endgame.

Beating Gone with the wind is very hard. Avatar is surprisingly close, but not close enough.

Here’s a list of the top 30 adjusted for inflation: https://www.gamesradar.com/highest-grossing-movies-inflation/

With that information, I don’t believe Barbie is in the 50 if you adjust for inflation.

Unadjusted isn’t entirely useless. It’s interesting to see how a movie compares to more recent ones and it also filters out movies that were released in a time where TVs, home media or streaming didn’t exist or were not as common.

Must be exhausting to be mad at everything, so I get why they want to stop.

Duckduckgo didn’t track anyone if I recall correctly.

I think they whitelisted (or it was a bug, can’t remember) some Microsoft trackers.

Not great, but not as bad as it looks.

Just use Firefox ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Which one? That stupid Dane has been burning Qurans in Sweden since before the war began.

And it’s a bit misleading to say paid. It’s technically true, but it is a very low amount of money that’s needed for a permit. It’s 50 € or something like that.

While the Russians might have encouraged it, he would have done it anyways. He just loves attention.

Very cool, I hope it amounts to something in my lifetime.

Well, everyone wanting to buy anything with a proccessor in it, has been getting fucking these last 3 years
