- Comment on Based on a true story 1 day ago:
I paid 1k for my shitty pickup in 2018, it’s in worse condition than when I got it, and about 100,000 more miles on it.
It’s supposedly worth 3500 now. It needs about $300 worth in parts alone to get it into what I would consider a condition worth buying.
- Comment on Alarm as Florida Republicans move to fill deported workers’ jobs with children: ‘It’s insane, right?’ 5 days ago:
The pearl clutching of many non-north American people is becoming nearly comedic.
It’s always been “you shouldn’t lump everyone on that label as the same because they aren’t” up to now, so it sure is “confusing” as to why suddenly all Americans bad.
- Comment on Rocky rock rocking 5 days ago:
No, that’s a jpeg representation on your screen of a photo of a rock.
- Comment on World travelers 1 week ago:
African, or European?
- Comment on When you realize that the ass is you 1 week ago:
A few years ago I purged my face book profile with a script that edited every post with lorem ipsum, and then deleted the content.
It was embarrassing seeing posts from 10-15 years ago. Jesus christ I was an idiot. I still am, but I was then too. (thanks mitch)
In 2022 I did the same to my reddit account.
Same reaction.
Although it was interesting to see my comments go backwards from “burn the system to the ground” to “we need to make a compromise and reach across the aisle” and then from “all religions should be allowed to die” to “Yay Jesus”
Like I said, I was a big dum
Oh god I would hate to see my YouTube comment history from my first account…
- Comment on Meta confirms it is considering charging UK users for ad-free version 1 week ago:
I mean, that should be the default for everyone, at all times regardless of whether they want to charge you for access. It’s a garbage company run by garbage people and has done more harm to humanity than could ever be measured.
- Comment on "You should probably just throw it away" 2 weeks ago:
People in these comments act like the computer will just stop working.
- Comment on SHUT UP ABOUT NICOLE 2 weeks ago:
You first.
But seriously, it gets annoying, but at the same time it’s the biggest scam on the fediverse right now that I know of. So I feel like a little visibility once in awhile (not 6 times a day) that lets people know about it is fine.
To anyone who knows: is there a way to filter out usernames containing that name? Like if I could block dms from my chosen instance, that’d be great. I’ve been getting 2-3 a week.
- Comment on 'Starship Troopers' Remake Set From 'District 9' Director Neill Blomkamp 2 weeks ago:
Well, I’ve only seen d9 and chappie, so I’m not too hopeful.
Honestly it’s more “I’m so tired of remakes” but hey, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by movies before.
Fingers crossed its good.
- Comment on 'Starship Troopers' Remake Set From 'District 9' Director Neill Blomkamp 2 weeks ago:
Lmao this will be so neutered and watered down it will be unwatchable.
$5 says they make it a generic action movie with no deeper meaning than “bugs needed killing we just defended ourselves”
- Comment on Welp. 2 weeks ago:
Yet only one of us seems to spend a lot of time on lemmy shitting on others for no reason. Weird.
Have a nice day.
- Comment on Master Replicas New Star Trek Replica Lets You Drink Coffee Like the USS Enterprise Crew 2 weeks ago:
I just want neat metal ship models without having to pay $100+ for out of production stuff…
- Comment on Welp. 2 weeks ago:
You’re off by a few decades, but sure.
- Comment on Welp. 2 weeks ago:
You make a good point, I’ll have to see if there are any practical applications in Europe or Canada.
- Comment on Welp. 2 weeks ago:
I believe that my gay neighbors should be able to grow weed in their yard and if you diss our trans homies, we might get violent before we bother asking nicely for you to leave, and if you refuse then the guns are coming out. Armed minorities are harder to oppress.
Judge away.
- Comment on Welp. 3 weeks ago:
Man I just love being undesirable in every country due to my beliefs, lifestyle, or lack of a degree.
- Comment on I left negative feedback on ebay for dropshipping and the seller has messaged me four days in a row asking me to change it 3 weeks ago:
Had that happen on Amazon and ebay multiple times
I always tell them I’ll only increase it one star and the reason for the change will be the first thing anyone sees in the review, even above the original review.
So far I’ve only had one taker.
- Comment on Sounds like a place I'd love to work for 3 weeks ago:
Power move: come in and vomit on the boss’s desk, car, or their person.
“sorry, I was gonna go to the doctor but you know the rules”
- Comment on We exist to pay rent, wage slave, and to generate new wage slaves for exploitation. 3 weeks ago:
Because mom would be sad and my dogs wouldn’t understand.
- Comment on Anon is deeply disturbed 3 weeks ago:
Companies make absolute fucking bank over “small insignificant” things like this.
Yes it’s only 50¢ but how many people every day think to themselves “oh it’s just 50 cents”
Then add that up over the whole year, for every location.
It quickly becomes much more than the “insignificant” 50¢.
And they know you are more likely to pay it and keep quiet than argue or simply not buy the item.
Sure it’s “just 50 cents” for you, but for the company, by the end of the day it’s more than most make in a year.
Note: actual dollar amounts company-wide for garlic cups is not something I happen to know, but based on how much I’ve seen them slinging cups into the boxes while I wait for my pizza, it’s gotta be a lot.
- Comment on No need to use my full name 3 weeks ago:
He knew that could be a sound of the future. But he didn’t realize how much the impact would be.
- Comment on Screwed yet again by past me 4 weeks ago:
I came here to laugh, not get personally attacked.
Last week I was totally ready to do [thing] and last week me was definitely not thinking about how the future works.
- Comment on On May 5, Microsoft’s Skype will shut down for good 4 weeks ago:
The last time I used skype, it was to monitor my 3d print because I needed to finish a project and my last attempt went all spaghetti.
So as I was at work I’d log into my computer from my phone, call myself with skype, and check to make sure everything was still okay.
Then I discovered octoprint.
- Comment on Trump Just Fired 6,700 I.R.S. Workers in the Middle of Tax Season. That’s a Huge Mistake. 5 weeks ago:
in service of power.
“THEY GARGLE RICH NUTSACK!”
Same thing, really.
- Comment on Meta approves bonuses of up to 200% of company executives' salaries as it trims stock awards for employees 5 weeks ago:
They stated they didn’t break piracy laws because they downloaded a shitload of books for their LLM and didn’t seed any.
Torrents are downloaded by “leeches” and put out for download by “seeders”
A proper ratio of what you downloaded to what you allow others to download should be 1:1 if you’re not a dick. (1gb downloaded means you need to upload 1gb to other users for 1:1) but if you don’t seed at ALL or if you only seed bare minimum to keep downloading things, you’re called a Leech, and derogatorily. Because you didn’t seed.
So they’re stating “we didn’t break the law, we’re just leeches!”
- Comment on Anon compares Harry and Ron 1 month ago:
I genuinely think the author just put those two together because they knew everyone was expecting Harr-mione to happen. Tried to subvert expectations.
- Comment on Trump Media Group Sues Brazilian Judge Weighing Arrest of Jair Bolsonaro 1 month ago:
Hey look, a company the literally bears the name of the sitting us president is openly meddling in politics of other nations.
At least his predecessors had the decency to hide it.
I don’t see how anyone can take anything they do or say seriously. And I don’t mean “we shouldn’t think they’re serious” I mean “the whole world should be laughing at them instead of listening to them and nobody should do a single thing they say”
It’s like someone fave toddlers the keys to the kingdom, and nobody is treating them like the toddlers they are.
- Comment on What's your "this is totally fine and I'm going to have a great time" FPS? 1 month ago:
Depends on what I’m playing.
I can comfortably play some games down to 12fps ±3ish, if it isn’t something that’s fast paced.
I have yet to play anything where I’m skilled enough for higher than 30fps to matter response-wise, and while I can notice the difference between 60fps and 240fps on my monitor, I gotta say it doesn’t do much for me.
Maybe I just don’t know what to look for, what I’m missing, or how to set up my laptop right, but who knows. My eyes could be stuck on 720p for all I know.
- Comment on ‘Mass theft’: Thousands of artists call for AI art auction to be cancelled 1 month ago:
The problem is not the price.
The problem is Ai “art” is inherently stealing the work of other people, and not in a way that a painter can say they were influenced by some other painter.
