Soon as you start thinking like they do its already over. I went down that path. It’s a looooong road to get back out. Male lonliness epidemic is by and large self inflicted.

I don’t understand, I think of them as lesser, judge them, get angry at them for not being like pornstars, and yet no one wants to date me!

Self reflection time for all of them.

Anything to continue subsidizing oil

LOL no shit, I have two separate threads going on, one about Tim Sweeney here and another in /c/movies about Sydney Sweeney! That is amazing, I did not understand why you posted the image but damn, that was stupid of me. I don’t care it stands, and I stand by my opinion of Sydney!

God she’s just not likeable. I’ll admit that she was great in White Lotus, but it’s because she was seemingly just playing herself! She did a great job at being an unlikable brat!

We just watched “Anyone but you” as a joke, and man what a shit job she did. Ironically she did really great at the beginning of the movie, by the end it was just a trainwreck. Funny enough, I also dislike Glenn Powell, but that movie made me like him more. It was a shit script and he honestly did a pretty good job with it. While there are many better than him, it does take talent to take a shit script and try to make something of it.

But I mean, her boobs were nice in it. So I guess that’s enough for Hollywood to say that it was in fact a movie.

After my own heart :) I’m big on sound too, I think too many people leave it for an after thought. You want both though, great visuals and sound. Have fun watching the movies! They’re all great! (Hint, ebay is a treasure for used 4ks, highly recommend searching there before buying new)

Oh man you’re going to have a blast.

Dune 1 & 2 are of course superb in 4K HDR+OLED. It was like watching the movie completely differently.

Top Gun Maverick also just absolutely stunning. The camerawork was amazing, and truly shows off how great OLED is.

LoTR in 4K is amazing. They remastered all of it. The Blurays were horrible, they didn’t rerender any of the CGI so it looked like cardboard cutouts of monsters and backgrounds instead of high def. 4Ks they completely rectified it and it looks amazing.

John Wick of course.

Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan works really well with OLED, hard to go wrong there.

Blade Runner 2049 then too. Really sets the ambiance

If you can, make sure you have surround sound. Really enhances all of the above. Have fun!

And then they bitch. All. The time. About it.

We keep choosing the worst possible choices for the customer but the customers are going somewhere else! Why?!?!

Gonna need captain big brain over here for why Valve has a monopoly.

That makes sense, they seemed mad for about a day about the gas prices and now I guess they just grabbed a bottle of lube instead of demanding it stop.

Meanwhile I actually know personally TWO people who went out and bought EVs! In car centric transit deserts where they have to drive. Both had some form of “I’ve been debating a new car for a while and this made my decision not to use gas”. So a very thin silver lining that people are at least thinking about it.

Hollywood’s formula continues. It had mild success, gotta make a franchise out of it. And people will pay to see her boobs.

First of all, they do do this. The AMD “tri-core” chip was a quad core that failed QA. Then most slower chips are in fact from faster chips but also failed QA and have to be underclocked.

However, the real answer is that because if you get a bit flipped, while most things are recoverable, there’s a good chunk at the hardware level that is unrecoverable. You’ve seen this with blue screens. Chips like that wouldn’t sell. Bluescreens and panics aren’t acceptable to people.

I just don’t understand. Their engine powers the vast majority of AAA games, and a huge chunk of non-AAA. I know they charge for this engine. How the hell are they strapped for cash. And before you comment, I know the answer unfortunately.

They had fortnight. A competent executive team would see that as a fluke that is great, but not dependable long term, and plan for investing that money back into the business but always prepared for the popularity of Fortnight could dip, but it wouldn’t matter because the core of their business would carry it.

Instead, it sounds like they had a standard executive team, where they thought the money from fortnight would last forever, it would never die, and line would only ever go up. They stupidly made a bunch of wrong decisions, and are now all shocked pikachu that Fortnight’s popularity is waning after almost a decade. So of course it’s the workers who should be fired now, not the executives, no of course not.

I’d be in favor of that. Not an instant ban rule but more of a “No link provided, please use TinEye or something to find the original and update your post”

Exactly the problem unfortunately. It’s extremely demoralizing. I’m still proud, like I said the largest protest in our history, I’ve never seen more Americans this motivated before, but I hope the organizers plan to do something. They don’t care about protests. They just let them go knowing everyone will go back to work the next morning. However, if they go too far the propaganda machine will simply pick up and say whatever it needs to and people eat it up happily. My uncle steadfastly believes that the majority of protesters are in fact “paid actors”. Millions of paid actors. Billions of dollars spent on it obviously.

Feel exactly the same as an american. No one here wanted to get involved. It defies party lines, literally no one wants it. We had the largest protest in our country’s history on Saturday and they will do nothing. It wastes billions of our tax dollars while our people can’t afford food. Its a couple of dozen people at the absolute top who are pulling the levers here, while ignoring what the people want.

Its always been a disaster.

Now it’s simply more of a disaster!

oh no did your free investor money run out?

Are there ways this could be implemented though that would not punish people who accidentally posted the wrong one though. You have a good idea, but we also have very few contributors on Lemmy and we don’t want to discourage that either.

Companies only care when there is pressure. When I was laid off there was a woman literally in Africa at the moment of the layoff adopting a child, and she had just bought her home 2 weeks prior. Absolutely no notice, 2 weeks severance. Everyone rallied behind her, suddenly when we threatened to go to the press they “found” that they could afford to give her 6 months severance.

Fuck these executives. Absolutely no shame or morals.

This is my big thing. People are worried because it’s harder for average Americans to drive because of the war. I say good! It’s about time they wake up and realize how dependant on gas they are. Its time that people start connecting that gas is expensive and we need to look at alternative energy sources. The rest of the world knows it, we need to learn it.

Ironically what they started the war over (oil) hopefully be highlighted for how hard it is to acquire

This is where tech and business are fundamentally different. Us tech people are like “wow it will speed up work like translation so much! You can have it do the first run, so the overworked translators can simply be a double check and sanity, checking for nuances”

Suits though only see “let’s lay them off” with no nuance

For every idiot who voted for it, an innocent young person is also shoved into it. So I can’t hope for forcing it.

However, I’m all for pushing manly men proud boys to sign up for basic. Would teach them what actually serving is like. Not the CoD wet dream they have, but cleaning and replacing tires on humvees.
