to be fair 2 ppl did go to jail, one just isnt alive anymore and the other is in a prison thats more like a resort.

The silver lining of this is that now when I do see ads I am instantly angered by them. So I have a new kind of immunity, hatred for marketing

One of the criticisms of being raised in a specific faith is that the children do not choose their faith, they are already in it.

So being raised by an atheist and then choosing a religion would carry more weight and meaning because it was a conscious decision made deliberately by that person.

I liked it from the moment one of the kids jumped into the water and I thought “you didn’t know whats in there!” and then they got eaten by some kind of water creature. I even liked the very crazy and more scifi final season (or was it two?)

Not a high brow/hard scifi show, but fun

Why does that image have the AI logo at the bottom? It appears to be unedited otherwise

Im not against data centers, that’s mostly where the internet runs from. Im against AI data centers though

nah its fine. Theres tons of music out there, much of it isnt my thing. California Band is just another on the pile

It seems that lately if something isn’t actively enforced then the govt just gets away with breaking the law

Me listening to a discussion comparing two things then going “uh, actually this third thing is also bad”

Amazon Game Studios developed games include:

• New World (Actually had some solid mechanics, but was then copy pasted so much it had no real mid or end game. Released in 2021, it will be shut down in early 2027.)
• Living Classics - A facebook game (lol)
• Sev Zero - mobile game
• The Unmaking - mobile game
• Til Morning’s Light - mobile game (and co-developed)
• The Grand Tour Game - First actual console game (middling reviews)

And thats it…

So the whole “Trust us” is gonna be a hard sell. You havent earned trust yet Amazon.

And shes a Steelers fan

Well the question of “why are the new and old testaments so different?” will have different answers if you ask a believer vs a skeptic. I think its just because these are stories written by people to control others, so the old and new testaments differ so much because different people wrote them at different times. To me, the difference is because its that religion trying to modernize, trying to change with the times.

some religions think of god(s) as sharing human aspects like you suggested with sex. Other religions consider their god(s) to be different from humans and therefor may not share all or any of our emotions/needs/wants.

I did like 1 semester at a community College and dropped out. I did tech support for web hosting companies for a little, moved to sales, realized im bad at sales but could understand servers etc better than sales guys so I became whats know as a sales engineer (the role has different titles at different companies, but its like the technical consultant that works with a sales rep to close deals) and did that for like 11 years. Now I do account mgmt for another tech company and make solid money.

I do regret ditching college but not for the degree as much as the overall experience.

I wish they would come out with an optional update to remove all streamers/e-celebs from the game because its not just Khaby thats in there. Their presence tarnishes the game but thankfully they are all entirely avoidable and non-consequential to any story-line so its not a huge deal, its just annoying that they are there at all. You have this cool cinema-style bond experience going on and then bam, theres Shroud/Jacksepticeye/Khaby standing there to bring you back to reality for literally no reason other than what? To bait content creators/streamers to see? So their fans can go “ooh theres my favorite streamer at a coat check!” I dont get it.

Let me remove them, it will not negatively impact the game.

Barely criticized? It still comes up today, and Im not sure if its any consolation but the guy he attacked publicly forgave him after Wahlberg met with him and apologized in 2016.

Im not sure what the stereotyping comment has to do with this discussion though.

Wahlberg was arrested, charged, and served time (albeit a very little), also his main offense occurred in 1988. Spacey and Weinstein were continuing to offend, and along with Cosby were serial offenders.

So you have a Wahlberg who was a piece of shit as a youth and then (as far as we know) corrected himself and remained hate-crime/assault free for going on nearly 40 years now vs rapists who were active until they were publicly outed.

Another great highlight of how Death Note is actually super cringey

No, anyone who did (or even seemed like they might) was purged.

Going to? Or actively doing it?
