We’re only holding ourselves back, at some point the subsidies for oil aren’t going to be enough. We’ll be watching the rest of the world continue on into the future that we thought we were heading towards

Content is content, and Lemmy is quiet enough that we accept most of it! Thanks for contributing!

Stupid movies, think Will Farrell and movies like Anchorman and Step Brothers.

I thought I was top shit in high school and college, that I was so much smarter than the average person and that my tastes were above the general public. Turns out I was just a douche.

Now I know that humans are not binary, that you can like two things for two different reasons. I can enjoy something serious like The Brutalist or The Whale, and then I can also enjoy something silly like Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (Seriously, you should go watch that, Rachel McAdams is amazing in it). It really simply depends on my mood and my emotions in the moment and what I want to watch.

I’ve also learned that the rating system is broken, because it pits movies that are polar opposites like that in direct competition, and there is no way to compare them. Apples and Oranges. But that’s a separate topic.

Great he can stay there

You’re absolutely right, I shouldn’t have let them play with the outlets, and now they’re in the ER in critical condition. That’s on me, I apologize.

Right, what about the other 5 people that day who also claimed they were important though? Do you bug your boss every time? Working service it was near daily where someone would claim to know the owner or don’t you know who I am or something

In that case as an employee you also risk annoying your boss who is now pulled into this altercation that you could have handled. Then the fact that they were fired over this shows they weren’t a good boss anyway, so I can understand the hesitancy to bring them in.

They fired you over that? You followed their rules! They should have a vip card or something if they wanted to allow some people in. I’m sorry man, they fucked you there.

Thank you!

Article mentioned several videos yet provided no links to them…

This is the official release, if you’ve been on the Experimental branch of the game it’s been out for a month or so.

Article is talking about what games they have on the platform. Separate moderation issues.

Good. Lawyers for companies are too quick to demand that you get rid of things that might make anyone slightly upset, and it ruins online places. It’s why NSFW games went away, and why everything needs a thousand warnings. It’s why companies are so happy to add age verification, because it "CYA"s them.

Good on Gabe there. That’s your job, to protect the company if they get sued, not make content decisions

I’ve done those cross country train trips and they are… Fantastic. If getting there fast isn’t a problem them train is so much fun. You see the country in such a unique way

I take it as “You have to experience it happening to yourself before you understanding how others may feel”

A slight twist on that is the favorite I keep hearing, “It’s the way it’s always been”. I think a lot of people don’t think of the status quo or what they’re used to as bad, they know when bad things happen that they feel bad.

Living in suburbs was built on clear racism, cutting apart neighborhoods to build highways and letting black areas deteriorate, but they don’t view that as bad because to them it’s what they’ve always known, living in the suburbs. So when they hear about things like rebuilding black neighborhoods they fight against it because “wait a minute, what about my neighborhood”, but they don’t know or at least understand the history.

Same thing with meat, and many other things. It’s easy to ignore it when you’re comfortable with it.

I’ve grown to loathe any thumbnail that says “its over”

Season 3 is my highlight as well. 1 - 5 are probably the “golden era” of the show for me.

You can tell the show went downhill when they started explaining every joke. Guy falls down the stairs, someone turns and says “they just fell down the stairs”. That’s my indicator for when the humor just fell off.

Bills like these get passed quietly and in darkness. I agree with your sentiment, but it’s on us to build the uproar that prevents it from making it any further.
