  • Who were some of your childhood heroes that turned out to be horrible people?

  • Tim is fighting on the wrong side of the spectrum when it comes to PC gaming. He knows damn well Valve has done an awful lot of great things for PC gaming, but because he's in competition with them, he's gotta take time out of his day just shitting all over everything Valve does. It must be out of jealousy and envy.

    What are your thoughts on apolitical people?

  • My therapist says she might have to report my abusive family to the authorities. How do I avoid being reported so the cops don't show up and make everything worse?

  • By the way, read Rule 5. I reported it. People can't read rules for shit, maybe you ought to start there.

  • Okay, you go baby and coddle him then. He'll learn nothing from this because that's exactly better advice, isn't it? You're a fucking idiot.

  • You're 23, you have to think on your feet in getting out of these kinds of situations.

    The more time you're putting up with this and not doing what you NEED to do, for yourself and for what's best for the situation - it's YOUR fault.

    If a therapist has to come in and do what YOU won't do, then that's a bad look too.

    What's going on with the lemmy world and ML infighting

    Jump

  • I don't know but this is not the way to look good if people are trying to leave Reddit's shit.

    They're going to see this stupid sissy slap-fight and go "aw, fuck dude, I left Reddit for this?" and then turn away.

    Good job, dumbasses.

  • Do you think intergalactic travel will ever be possible?

    Jump

  • No.

    Especially with the kind of people who're in charge of handling space travel. You know who.

  • Linux Mint isn't the answer for Windows refugees anymore

    Jump

  • I always hate it when people seem to try making the decisions for others based on what they use.

    It was bad enough when Ubuntu was losing faith with people because of its poor decision making, now we got you here saying Linux Mint is not the answer?

    Confusing people on an already confusing mess on which distro to choose when leaving windows is not how you win favorability with linux. Mint is the choice because it is not pitching freshly disgruntled Windows users into steep learning curves from the get-go. If you push them into something like Arch, you're going to have people both pissed at Arch and at you for making their experience miserable.

  • If you had to talk to a stranger, what would you want it to be about?

    Jump

  • Depends on the subject. I do actually like to hear someone's passion in something. I typically don't like myself dominating a conversation all of the time, so I'm almost always tossing the chance to the other person to speak their mind. People always told me that they're sorry for rambling but I'm encouraging it because I like to listen.

    I get more tired of hearing myself talk than I do others.

  • To those who are new to this whole fediverse/threadiverse/this thing, how has your experience been?

    Jump

  • So this account is not my first rodeo. I've been off and on the fediverse.

    I think it's been an interesting experience. I believe there's still more to go and be done 3 years in. I think there should be more tools available to deal with assholes than hoping and praying moderators deal with it, considering how moderators operate more on a "when I have the time to" than "I need to do this for the sake of the community I'm upholding the values of".

    Mastodon didn't stick for me, it was too decentralized for my tastes. I haven't tried anything else because if I didn't like X/Instagram for example, I'm not going to like their Fediverse versions either because they're not my platforms of choice.

  • What subscription based services are actually worth the money?

    Jump

  • I'm not paying overpriced movie tickets. They've lost my business there.

  • What subscription based services are actually worth the money?

    Jump

  • Disney+ - During Black Friday when they give out $5 a month for a year offers only. SiriusXM - Only when they offer $5 a month for a year deals. Netflix - Base plan only and if you've figured a workaround to watch it without ads. Tello - No-contract based phone plans for dirt cheap. Even better than Mint Mobile. ProtonVPN

    The trick is to scour for deals and offers. Never pay full regular price for something and always cancel a few days before the due date so you're not charged the full amount once the deal ends.

  • Forums were some of the ways you gather information and become part of communities. IRCs and Chat Rooms provided by Bravenet, MSN, Yahoo! and AOL were more of the real-time ways of communicating with people as well as messenger programs.

    The only great nuisances we all came across were pop-up advertisements, dialog windows that'd come onto your screen to just advertise to you. Ad-blocking was just a dream in the early days which is one of the things I absolutely don't like about the period then.

    Websites had a lot of character to them, they went by themes, they decorated in kind to where you identified with it. Places like Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and video game websites all have character. These days, everything is too bland and linear.

    Social media was present but it was very tolerable, it's not as in your face and everywhere as it is today.

    The internet was a thing you could actually take time away from and not feel like you're missing anything, except for what was going on in your circle or community. It was sometimes exciting to come back after a few days to check e-mail and catch up that way. There was a nice balance to it. With everything 24/7 and how many things adapted to it where everyone has an app, it's nauseating and tiring to interact on a constant basis.

    As far as the uncensored part? There were places you just had to know access to, to see them. They weren't that out in the open. Plus, this was pre-cyberbullying laws where, everyone could get away with dogpiling on you so that was the wild and uncensored part of it. You just had to have some thick skin or you weren't going to have a fun time online, then again, even that has amplified where even expressing an honest non-offending opinion isn't going to guarantee you from being interacted with some no-life piece of shit at anytime.

  • Over-quoted and overexposed, yes. But not terrible.

  • I don't remember anyone taking a dump on this movie, unless they had no taste or humor. Everyone knew what it was about and took it for what it was worth.

  • Same. I don't mind the transformers themselves, well most of them that weren't based off of stereotypes anyways. The explosions were a bit much, to the point of comedy. I think there was like a scene where Optimus was running through Chernobyl (remembered it was from Dark of the Moon), it was just that things exploded around him anyways. It was unintentionally funny.

    All and any of the human interaction and scenes, they can just go to hell. Nobody cared for them and nobody cared about Sam and his struggles.

  • I won't disagree that the Wachowskis had a weird way of piecing together the story. Not to mention, all of this stuff was released in one year which is impressive but also made things very convoluted.
