• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  All jobs are service industry now unless you’re somebody’s kid or relative. Things changed bigly over the last 20 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Technofascist military fantasy': Spotify faces boycott calls over CEO’s investment in AI military startup⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  All those musicians singing about love and peace are indirectly supporting the war. How fucked up is that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I put these 2 pics of Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker together, can someone who's more clever than I am come up with with some captions?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  She gave me her number. How do you like them apples?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear Kevin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember Send Vedding Present.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I learned “All your base belong to us” from a video game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Doubles Prime Video Ads to 6 Minutes Per Hour⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess they need the money but it’s a shitty, sneaky way to get it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not seeing communities⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I see what you did there. “Nazi’ing Communities”. /s

  Since he found out he can web-sling from palm tree to palm tree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What did Musk and Trump fall out over?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is just Trump’s M.O. No reason required.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I drag my feet when it's time to start a new task even if I know I'll enjoy it once I get started?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know why but this reminded me of a joke…“My parents took me to the doctor because they thought I had mono. Turns out I was just lazy”. I think that underneath it all we are like cows and just want to eat grass and bask in the sun as a default behaviour.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What TV series has the best intro song or sequence? What TV series have the worst intro song or sequence?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Best: Gilligan’s Island, The Nanny, Green Acres, Get Smart, Underdog.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stranger Things 5 | Official Teaser | Volume 1: November 26 , Volume 2: December 25, Finale: December 31⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I quit netflix about a year ago. I watched ST 1-4 nd was excited to see the series conclusion. So much time has gone by that I don’t really care if I see the final season.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An OS that requires you to upgrade your hardware and now we are discussing performance concerns? The writing was on the wall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people care so much that their friend or family member’s partner is attractive and not just loving?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Better to be attracted by the person you love. In most cases men will fuck anything given the opportunity and they sure as hell don’t care about aesthetics when in that situation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rip willy boy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not many people know this but Will Smith’s uncle is Slappy White.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shining turns 45: 45 Years Ago, Stanley Kubrick Made A Horror Masterpiece By Destroying Its Source Material⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m waiting for the 50th anniversary to re-watch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Do a time travel story and new tech will be seen as miraculous magic by those pesky Elizabethans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guardian reporters wins investigative journalism award⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s quite obvious who funds it. The media companies. Bit of cognitive dissonance going on between the two, eh? Go watch a commercial, buy a product and hate somebody should not be a mission statement. Some good folk out there pursue the truth regardless of the “very expensive” façade but they don’t live in the corporate/capitalistic structure of “very expensive”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guardian reporters wins investigative journalism award⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Good news. We need more journalists and less “media companies” in this day and age.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: "Working from home makes us happier."⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My non-sciencey group of “experts in the obvious” said the same thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Driving a manual is a bit tricky to start with but minimum practice and you’ll learn everything you need to know. Everything else is experience. Once you’ve driven it for a while, especially through various weather conditions, you’ll find that you have more control of the vehicle when driving a manual stick shift. Even three on the tree makes you more free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We gonna fight⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This meme reminded me of all the different flavours of Christianity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The road they drove to dump this trash literally takes to the landfill⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I balk at the idea of paying to dump your junk in a landfill site. I pay myself but that silly system only leads to broke people having to dump elsewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Showing your ID to get online might become a reality⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I preferred the pre-tech “phonebook” stage where all you had was your name (and whatever else was attached to it based on one’s own behaviour).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Showing your ID to get online might become a reality⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like the idea but look where anonymity has gotten us. Lots of hate and false bravery hiding behind an alias.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has JD Vance ever tried a tree?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shady Vance’s not whole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Came here looking for a masonry hammer as I need to buy one and don’t know what it is. I still don’t, unless it’s “brick”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck that guy sucking my time with his ads. If I want to buy a ladder I’ll go online, or go to the store and buy one. Once all this world ending shit dies down let’s get rid of “advertising” as an economic concept. We don’t need any more socio/economic engineering, we need humanity and ecology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Original Lawn Darts. Life is no fun without a bit of risk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's with "*checks notes*" everywhere?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They used to say that prior to the computer phones. Now it is an antiquated saying that people use for fun.
