  • So much hate for a show that was never meant to be a cinematic masterpiece of comedy? I don’t get it. It’s not supposed to be deep. I watched it for a while, it was funny in its dumb way, and then it just didn’t go anywhere so I quit watching. It was fun for a while. No need for the hate.

    Edit: wow. Triggered some people who want to equate themselves to centuries-long oppressed minorities and slaves, over a TV show. Know what? Oppressed minorities will still be oppressed tomorrow, shot by cops, profiled, and live with systemic racism. You get to change the channel. Get over yourselves.

  • They pardon someone for being a pedo.

    Maybe your plan wouldn’t work so well.

  • There’s that ~30% again that will lie their asses off for their golden calf.

  • “Underestimated” means they spent any time estimating the outcome at all before trump decided to attack.

    I sincerely doubt they did.

  • IOW, you can only protest on days and at times when most people are at work, therefore less people will protest.

  • Full “I don’t care” mode. Any pretenses of being president of a nation is gone, he’a treating the country like a throwaway business deal. Use it up, bankrupt it, take what he wants. I’d say hooker, but at least they get paid.

  • Many places already do charge a “line charge” if you have solar power and use little or no utility company power. You pay for being hooked up to the grid even if you barely use it.

  • The gas prices I was paying were almost exactly the same as I paid in October 2024. IOW I don’t see him doing any better than Biden.

  • Could you imagine being “locked in” with locked in syndrome and people around you decide to make you “fall”?

  • It’s like bitcoin. A shitty idea I wanted no part of yet I wish I’d been willing to take advantage of at the time it took off.

  • 10 seconds thought would have stopped you from making this comment.

    These are some of my favorites I’m sharing, not yours. Ain’t nobody making you watch any of them.

  • Lots.

    The OG Star Wars (4, 5, 6)

    Shawshank Redemption

    Edge Of Tomorrow

    Top Gun

    Princess Bride (top 5 sword fight!)

    Most all of Pixar’s stuff, and Dreamwork’s kids movies. My kids grew up with them.

    Sleepy Hollow (Depp/Ricci version)

    The Departed

    Rob Roy (another top 5 sword fight)

    Dune (original ‘80s version)

    Alien/Aliens/Alien 3

    Tron

    Goonies

    Rat Race

    Lost Boys

    Robin Hood: Men in Tights

    The Breakfast Club

    Ferris Buellers Day Off

    Deadpool

    The LOTR trilogy

    Blade Runner - both films

    Heist (a lesson in writing a script consisting of one-liners)

    Ocean’s 11

    The Name Of The Rose

    The Last Mohican

    Master And Commander

    5th Element

    Any of the Monty Python films, but especially Quest for the Holy Grail

    That’s a start.

    If I had to whittle it down to absolute favorites: Princess Bride, Monty Python, and OG Star Wars.

  • They don’t even blame anymore. They just completely ignore it and say “BEST BIGLY JOB NUMBERS EVER!!1” and don’t even acknowledge there was a problem to begin with.

  • TBF in the ToS it was ”Where no man has gone before”, not “Where no one has gone before.”

    So if it was aliens then the statement was correct, we’d just have to skip all the weird human populated worlds they found.

  • Nope. Raspbian, Arch, Ubuntu, Ubuntu MATE (sorta samesies, I guess), Manjaro…I think that’s it.

  • That sounds like fun. Do they have a /c or just post random stuff?

  • I have a few things.

    This place has groups that are singlemindedly bloodthirsty and happy to see people hurt, particularly in the US, and don’t have a problem stating so.

    Tangentially - the far left extolling the virtues of governing systems that have never really worked due to weak protections against takeover by bad actors and ignoring that those systems are just as corruptible as any other. Humans are f’d up and someone always games the system for personal or tribal advantage.

    Linux. Yeah, it’s great. No, it cannot do everything Windows does, and we’re going to ignore that and deride you for playing AAA studio games that have anticheat that linux breaks or other software that doesn’t work on the OS. That’s your fault, we’ll be smug about it, and still recommend ditching Windows.

    Conspiracies. This place acts like it has some superior thought or logic but as soon as something happens the conspiratards immediately make it a conspiracy and can’t be told otherwise regardless of logic - or accept a far more real but less exciting conspiracy. Everyone jumps on the bandwagon.

    Lastly it’s missing the hobby and interest groups. It’s mostly memes and politics. I’d like to see more actual communities of interests and support for hobbies on the Fediverse rather than the constant grind of how f’d up the world is.

  • Small price to pay… besides the US bases being targeted by missiles, the billions in defense hardware being used, refineries in neighboring countries being targeted and hit, the economy under further seige, and we haven’t yet been hit by the price increases due to transportation costs of goods.

    Yeah. He left all of that out.

  • Don’t get too excited about the pot-out-of-draft card. If this regime doesn’t hand you a shitty rifle with a coffee can for a helmet to get rid of their lib opponents by throwing them at the meatgrinder they’ll just send you to a work camp and starve you to death.

  • “It has been, and it will continue to be, and President Trump wisely does not remove options off of the table,” Leavitt said.

    Newspeak for “We don’t have a clue what the moron will do next, so ‘The lord moves in mysterious ways…’”
