  How will any system fjx this, though? There will always be disasters, hunger, war, crime…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For the little guys.⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s something to be said about choosing not to care about some stuff, though. Being constantly contemplating every single crisis in the world and worrying equally about them all will be damaging to your mental health… And these days there are more pressing issues than the moths to me. It’s not that I don’t value them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valid point⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In my sector it’s just incompetence. Bosses are under the illusion that being able to see the workers in and out makes them better at managing their hours (false) and that being able to physically reach someone makes the communication more efficient (also false)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bill Skarsgård Returns as Pennywise in Chilling First Trailer for HBO's 'It: Welcome to Derry⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll just keep pretending the first reboot movie is the complete story, thanks. That mix of kids on bikes with subtle cosmic horror and some surrealist stuff is damn good

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Max changing name back to HBO⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, I’m in a “global” market (Brazil) and HBO is by far the best service around. Over here they have all the best shows I would want to watch, tons of good animation and all the non-Disney big budget geeky franchises (Batman, Superman, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc). I’ve never heard of a new series by them, but why would I even care? What is there to watch is already more than I need for my lifetime

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are you watching and, what do you recommend this week?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just finished season 4 of The Wire. They really turned it up the depressing nature of the story with this season, damn

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some examples of series that only have a good first season, and should be dropped after that?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, it was the highest possible bar to clear. True Detective season 1 is arguably the best TV has ever gotten, it was just perfect from story to pacing to acting and cinematography

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some examples of series that only have a good first season, and should be dropped after that?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hard disagree. Bleach was advertised as a dumb battle shonen when it’s main achievement is the lore and art. There’s still plenty of good stuff after the first season, and basically none of the worldbuilding is done by that point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bungie appears to have plagarized an artist's work and style in their extraction shooter "Marathon" according to this Bluesky post⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree but it can get pretty close. Try asking gpt-4o to generate a realistic picture of an adventure who wears a hat and wields a whip to find lost treasure. It returns basically a picture of Harrison Ford

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Devolver Digital Announces Shroom And Gloom, A First-Person 'Double-Deckbuilder' Roguelike With A Demo Out Now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks insane

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Barrage, a turn-based boardgame style economic strategy game where you develop a hydroelectric corporation, released on Steam.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a real boardgame, too. Looks like this is the digital adaptation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Superman | Official Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I won’t forgive DC if this isn’t good

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon indulges⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How were people brainwashed into thinking OJ was “healthy”? It’s the closest equivalent to natural candy I can think of. Tons of sugar offset by juicy acidity

  Bethesda is such a garbage company. No idea why people buy these half assed games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Y: Marshals’: CBS Orders ‘Yellowstone’ Sequel Starring Luke Grimes As Kayce Dutton⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Was Yellowstone such a huge success to warrant a thousand spin offs? Did I miss something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prices are out of control⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It can make you blind due to high methanol concentrations

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it's good enough to keep your house warm, it's good enough to keep your insides warm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stop the liberal anti wallcandy propaganda. It feels so good to eat the wall candy. It tastes exactly like cotton candy but it’s available in my walls and my mattress

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tabletop Convection Oven*⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is an oven with the convection setting turned on by default. So it’s like having an oven but for a regular person instead of the design made for 1960s suburban moms cooking for 10, like the “regular” oven

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite indie game?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotta go with Dwarf Fortress. Been playing on and off for the past 10 years at least, it’s just endless !!FUN!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon blames millennials⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Golden age of gaming is now, though. We get so many bangers basically for free it’s insane

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Texas goes after toothpaste in escalating fight over fluoride⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Truly one of the countries of all time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Texas goes after toothpaste in escalating fight over fluoride⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can someone explain what the deal with fluoride is to a non american?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When society completely transitions to cash-less, what happens when the power goes down? End of the world?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cards destroyed so many lives but if you say it out loud people think you’re a tin foil hat nutjob

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some of the most cringeworthy scenes or moments in TV that you've seen?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Carmella “you made me so hawt down thea” to a comatose Tony was something, especially with that weird camera angle

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon missed /pol/⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What do non-violent “protests” do? Why would police ever really try to supress them if they don’t serve any purpose other than virtue signalling? Do you protesters expect Trump to stop ICE raids because “wow, I guess these signs with me drawn as a pig are really making me think”, or MAGA supporters to stop voting for him because you wasted your sunday out in the sun walking around?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon missed /pol/⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I won’t believe the left is actually seriously preparing until I start seeing some Onion links around. We’re probably on a list just for using Lemmy, which is notoriously leftist, and talking about this stuff publicly, unveiled, with a registered account is honestly below Hegseth level OPSEC

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon missed /pol/⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It actually is good, though. Russians are resorting to sync scams in Ukraine so they can get intel, if Signal was breached they wouldn’t need to do it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon missed /pol/⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The alternative being?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's an example of a TV show that came out at before its time, or just at a bad time?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Wire would blow up in the binge era

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What show are you surprise managed to finish, or get many seasons out of it at least, and avoid cancellation?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty amazing that Rick and Morty has managed to go on for years now without Justin Roiland. This pretty much solidifies Dan Harmon as the heart of the show (as many suspected) and, with Community in his curriculum, a pretty good comedic writer
  Though the show did get extremely weird with the sex stuff, why is Jerry talking about watching porn in front of his kids?
