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

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?

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

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

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? 1 week 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? 1 week 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? - Comment on What do office workers actually do? 1 week ago:
In the mornings I’ll usually read news while enjoying a cup of coffee and a Zyn, too, forgot to mention that

Does finance count? I’m usually studying something in the alternative data space (that is, using non-financial data to make decisions on investments) so I can, in the end, make a presentation or deliver a product to someone. For example, an analyst decides to study a clothing company and asks me to scrape their prices in the main Latin American markets (because he thinks they can grow there or something). So I do that for a while and report back to him what I found. If it is interesting, I may be tasked with implementing something in our Excel add-in so he can plug that information into his own models, or I’ll need to develop a model myself.
Lots of spacing out, browsing lemmy and playing bullet chess on my phone, too - Comment on Anon uses Windows 1 week ago:
I switched to Fedora KDE a couple years ago and am happy, but the desktop Linux experience does have it’s rough edges. Do research and experiment before you make the full switch
- Comment on What's a highly-rated, critically acclaimed TV series that you couldn't get into, or have no interest in? 1 week ago:
I eventaully got into it, but Mad Men took me more than a few tries

It’s lowkey offensive to autistic people too. Young Sheldon did much better at that
- Comment on What are you watching and, what do you recommend this week? 2 weeks ago:
Finished True Detective season 1. Can’t recommend it enough, although I won’t watch the rest of the series as I feel there’s not much more the show can provide and their reputation is low. Starting The Wire now
- Comment on ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ Has the Most Words Per Minute of Any TV Show, Study Finds 2 weeks ago:
Huh, maybe that is a clue to why I found the show insufferable despite my enjoyment of similar series. Everything is just too fast
- Comment on What's a good feel good film I can watch next week? 2 weeks ago:
It’s a Wonderful Life is my go-to
- Comment on What's the worst instance of plot armour on characters you've seen in TV? 2 weeks ago:
How I Met Your Mother’s crew friendship with Robin surviving multiple breakups with Ted after they pretty much just met her. IRL they would have 100% picked sides with Ted and booted her. Also Marshall and Lily surviving her SF stint
- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, seeing the kid die was awesome after he bragged about killing the dog hahahaha
Such a cool movie with great shots and coreography - Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 3 weeks ago:
Just watched John Wick last night. Pretty cool but honestly his motivation is kind of dumb. Yeah, the dog has great sentimental value but then you go and kill like 40 people and throw your life away? Maybe the point of the movie is that he never really got out of the life, indeed
- Comment on What TV series or seasons you've watched do you think needed a rewrite? Or any TV series taken a writing turn you didn't expect? 3 weeks ago:
I think The Sopranos could have written the last season so we get more theories for who did it in the ending. It’s basically only Paulie or “some NY guy” and that’s it
- Comment on What are some of your unpopular opinions, hot takes about shows, streamers, the wider industry etc? 3 weeks ago:
Streaming services have had a noticeable negative impact on adults, in my experience most notably Gen Xers, which I see abandon lifelong hobbies to consume more netflix slop. We just aren’t meant to have so many hours of passive entertainment available at the tip of our fingers
- Comment on 5 Reasons ‘A Minecraft Movie’ Became a Record-Breaking Box Office Success 3 weeks ago:
It’s based off the best selling game ever with one of, if not the most dedicated and obsessed fanbase, and appeal to children. The Minecraft IP made so many people millionaires with content creation, it shouldn’t be a surprise that the same consumers would go see the official movie
- Comment on What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend? 3 weeks ago:
Idk, Dark has a pretty big fanbase in Latin America at least. Most Netflix types I know have given it a go
- Comment on What are your go-to lame low quality shows? 4 weeks ago:
How I Met Your Mother is goated for this pupose

Love that episode, there’s some amazing CGI scenes too

Is this a safe space to answer Doctor Who? 😶 It’s so campy but for some reason I’m hooked
