Good luck playing Black Flag unless you pirate it. Ubisoft fucking broke it with their shitty app. If will still work if you’ve previously installed and launched it, but if you’re a first time player, the launcher will prompt you to log in to Ubisoft 's shitty app, and then just never run.

Still sounds like shifting the blame instead of taking responsibility for creating a bad movie. Had they met in person instead of zoom, I really don’t see how that would have changed anything.

Well I was going to do the “Sit quietly and enjoy the movie without causing a disturbance” TikTok trend, but the sign said not to; so I guess I’ll just fucking destroy everything.
- Comment on What TV show were you highly excited for, but ended up quickly disappointing you? 1 week ago:
When I heard they were making it, I told my friends that if they did it right, it would be bigger than Game of Thrones.
Then I saw the first trailer. From that alone, I knew they did not do it right. Watching the first season only confirmed it for me.
- Comment on ‘How To Train Your Dragon 2’ Live-Action Sequel Happening, Set For 2027 – CinemaCon 2 weeks ago:
People always make this complaint, but I really can’t blame the movie studios. Moviegoers have shown time and time again, that as much as they complain about the lack of original IPs, they don’t go see them when they come out. Movie studios want to make money. If the public has shown again and again that they’ll fork out $20 for a remake or some generic superhero crap, while completely ignoring original films… well, which do you think the studios are going to embrace?
Even the few original films that do come out have to be marketed in the same way a remake if they want any attention. “From the Producers of Nostalgically Popular Movie”, “From the Director of Big Series Everyone Knows”, “Starring That Actor Who Was in All Those Other Films You Used to Love”. Original movies can’t stand on their own anymore. The few that do are the rare exception, not the rule.

Is it real in the sense that you could prod a similar response out of Grok given the right inputs? Yes.

Considering how many people didn’t vote for Kamala because they weren’t 100% happy with her stance on Palestine; yes, you dense motherfucker.
Both.
Fucking.
Sides.
- Comment on Warner Bros. Cancels Planned ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Game Expansion 2 weeks ago:
Except the hyperbole in this case is comparing someone who has played “one single video game” as the same as kicking trans people down the stairs.
You get that right? The insufferability comes not from saying “please show support by not playing this game” but from saying “if you play this game, you are a bad person”.

Unless that movie is Snatch.
- Comment on How are you feeling? 3 weeks ago:
I keep telling myself that I’m doing ok and everything is fine, but at least once a day I suddenly collapse and start quietly sobbing. It usually happens in the shower, but it can happen anytime I have a brief moment alone. Only lasts for about 1 to 5 minutes and then I’m back up doing whatever it was I was doing, but its happening more and more frequently, and it’s getting harder to pretend I’m not overwhelmed by everything.
There is so much chaos and uncertainty. When I look at the state of the world, it feels like giving up and screaming incoherently into the void is somehow the most rational response; and that trying to keep going is a fool’s errand.

Keep in mind, they don’t need to actually like the film, as long as they are paying to see it.

Modern PDF signing creates a digital fingerprint showing the device it was used on, whose credentials were used, a timestamp, and even a location if location services are turned on.
But yea, I guess all that just can’t compete with the ironclad security of a fucking ink pen. Oh, sorry. A copy of an ink pen. So much more secure and traceable.
- Comment on Online Wars Aside, 'Snow White' Simply Isn't Getting Moviegoers to Buy In 4 weeks ago:
What if… gasp, what if you’re not the target audience?!
Everyone complaining about the poor quality of Disney’s live action remakes is overlooking the main reason why Disney is making them. They’re profitable.
With the relatively low cost compared to a traditional animated movie, the ability to lean on existing IP’s, and the fact that the main audience (children) don’t typically give a shit about quality, Disney has been raking in the money with these remakes. I don’t believe they’ve had a true “flop” (where they lost money) since they started.
The Disney that made original films and stories is long dead. And why wouldn’t it be? For all the complaints about the lack of originality in Hollywood, when a studio actually risks making one, it tends to be a bust. Going to a theater is an event, and people don’t want to risk their money on an unknown story. Money talks, and unfortunately it says that remakes and bland superhero movies are what the people want.
- Comment on There are great movies, and then there’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit. 4 weeks ago:
For those who liked Roger Rabbit, I’d highly recommend the new Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers movie. It was kind of slept on when it was released and deserves so much more attention. I think people just assumed it was a remake of the show, the movie is entirely its own thing. The only thing you even have to know about the show is that it existed. The movie itself is pretty much just like Roger Rabbit, with multiple IP’s mixing together in the real world and some surprisingly dark themes.
I’d still probably say Roger Rabbit is overall a better movie, but Chip 'n Dale is very close.

Nope, he had no plans to infect them. The babies had parents who were HIV-positive.
- Comment on Least extreme biophysics phd 4 weeks ago:
It’s crazy that people are trying to make this comparison. They are worlds apart. Notice how the post and most people talking about it aren’t discussing what he actually did? Because the situation gets a lot murkier when you learn the details.
“Experimenting on babies” - What?! That’s unethical and immoral! Must be junk science with no benefit!
“Made babies at risk of HIV immune to it” - Well… That’s good for the babies, but maybe he should have gone through proper channels.
- Comment on Least extreme biophysics phd 4 weeks ago:
He used CRISPR to make 3 babies immune to HIV.

For anyone with taste buds, let’s be abundantly clear on something: steaming vegetables is perhaps the WORST way to cook them.
Unless you are eating them raw, or using them as an ingredient in a larger dish, almost all vegetables should be roasted/grilled to bring out and caramelize their natural sugars. Steaming them leaves you with unflavorful mush. Like you’re cooking the soul out of them and leaving only a sad memory of what they could have been.

- Comment on How was your valentines day weekend? 1 month ago:
Maybe recognize that your partner doesn’t ascribe as much meaning to arbitrary dates and that silently expecting them to do something is a toxic mentality. I hope you realize you’re not teaching them any sort of lesson, you are intentionally setting yourself up to be disappointed/upset at your partner for not following the rules of a game they didn’t know you were playing.
Especially these days. Don’t you think it’s possible they have other things on their mind? I know I do. Between trying to figure out how to pay bills, figuring out how to save a little so we can retire some day, thinking about how stressful my job is, thinking about all the chores that need to be done, worrying about the health of myself and my family, worrying about car/home repairs, keeping insurance/registrations/enrollments/appointments/documents all up to date, and the endless struggle of what we’re having for dinner tonight; there’s just not a whole lot of mental space left for reading my partner’s mind and fulfilling their uncommunicative expectations.
You say this has been happening for years. Ever think that it’s just not something that’s going to change? That you’re expecting a fish to climb a tree unprompted and then getting upset with the fish when it doesn’t?
Grow the fuck up. Be a partner to your partner. How hard is it to say “Hey, I’d like to feel special on Valentine’s Day. It’s important to me.”?
