• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I had an idea for a story about Steampunk Radical Reconstruction in 1880s and some of the characters I imagined looked like him, but with a top hat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Snow White’, Poisoned By Controversy At Box Office, Won’t Have A Happy Ending With $115M Loss: What Went Wrong⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It was a shitty movie, that’s what went wrong.

  And however obnoxious the racism on Twitter was about it, you can’t blame that for the thing losing a hundred mil.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warner Bros. Still Awaits David Zaslav’s Promised Renaissance⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure it’ll come once they sell the brand most famously identified with the name “Warner Bros.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asking the important questions.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At least there isn’t a My Little Pony in the jar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is waiting for Japan⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t exactly keep up with the technological innovations of every country, but I get the feeling it isn’t so much that Japan hasn’t innovated in decades, so much as they haven’t done anything he (it’s 4chan, let’s be frank, it’s a he) personally finds interesting or that is publicized in the medium he gets his news from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't envy the humans pre-dentistry⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Evolution meant to tell you to get out of the gene pool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon uses Discord⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a Discord but I hear a lot about how easily you can get banned, largely on the whims of the people running a single server, so I’ve always been a bit reluctant to use it.

  Also, I find it genuinely disturbing how much information all these companies have about you and your stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pierce Brosnan Says Future James Bond "Must Not Be American"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Having Bond not be a Brit seems to defeat the whole purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨James Cameron Teases ‘Avatar 3’ Will Be Even Longer Than ‘The Way Of Water’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Christ, it’s going to take a full work day to watch the thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve definitely thought about trying to get back onto Reddit once I get a computer they don’t recognize.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My general dislike for modern conservatism to the side, it does reflect a wider issue with lemmy. There is no diversity of opinion on anything. There are no niche communities. Either you like the political and tech subs and the meme subs which are, at a mininum, 60% political, or there really is nothing for you here.

  The manga and anime subs can be good for keeping up with new releases, but not there’s next to no actual discussion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While I have no issue with Republicans being shunned for their unashamed fascism, it does mean threads like this are essentially pointless because almost none will actually participate and the ones who do will be downvoted into oblivion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everything Donald Trump has ever done or ever will do, is a grift.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love the future.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I am torn between wanting to understand the logic behind this and not wanting to engage with anyone stupid enough to believe this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it’s harder to kill someone by hitting them with it.

  But in all seriousness, you can go a lot farther, a lot faster, across much worse terrain and weather in a car than a bike.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless there’s a coup when the Supreme Court finds against Trump and he ignores them and Republicans keep Congress from holding him accountable the only way the Court will let them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It insists upon itself⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It insists upon itself It mean it’s trying to be deep, but is really just pretentious and shallow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It insists upon itself⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Historically speaking, it tends to work.

  And for the record, Machiavelli didn’t exactly rule it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just watched the wrong version of Drive (2011), and didn't realize until the last 10 minutes. Any similar stories?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It took me a good fifteen minutes to realize Grand Moff Tarkin wasn’t in the Universal version of the Mummy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Weekly thread] It's Wednesday, which movies have you been watching?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  II definitely was meant to build the mythos and III wasn’t as bad as people make it out to be, though I can see why they abandoned the idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Weekly thread] It's Wednesday, which movies have you been watching?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Four or Six.

  Five was a bit of a rehash of Four, but Six tried to introduce a new paradigm that didn’t quite carry through.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Weekly thread] It's Wednesday, which movies have you been watching?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been watching the original Halloween movies.

  I understand why people don’t like the later ones, but I still like them, overall.
