  I’ll scoff at every moron who trusts pseudoscience over medical professionals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are foldable phones as good/bad as they say?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a big gimmick guy, I LOVE a good gimmick. I liked my Surface RT with the flat touch keyboard, I liked my Surface Book with the kooky hinge and detachable screen, and I like my Samsung Fold 6.

  I flip it open all the time, I like using the GameSir controller on it and turning it into a super emulator, I like watching YouTube on it with the kickstand while I cook, I like actually having one app on the left side, one app on the right.

  My god phones got boring, so many dull slabs of glass, it’s just nice to have something EXCITING again.

  But the word can and IS being used in other circumstances, so clearly context matters. I think quoting is fine context.

  Hahaha ok, you called my logic “chicken-shit sideways ass”, after I said you like spaghetti o’s. No wonder you don’t like critics, you crumble at the mere site of criticism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Faculty, any day⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You said rotten tomatoes is the “worst” indicator of film quality.

  What a cringe take, to think you know better than every person who’s job it is to evaluate film quality. The people who have spent their lives watching all manner of films through a critical lens typically backed by an education, all worthless compared to one Lemmy who probably goes to upmarket restaurants and complains about the small serving sizes.

  Everyone I’ve met who “hates the critics” objectively has bad taste, and you the worst type are the ones who are proud of it.

  Good luck bro, chuck on a 0%er and jerk off to how clever you are for liking it hahahahahah

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Faculty, any day⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I bet you think spaghetti - O’s should be served at restaurants too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What? What does union organising have to do with consumer responsibility?

  My point is that communists love sitting around WAITING for someone to take drastic systemic overhauls, whilst being seemingly unable to control their own consumer habits.

  Communists will destroy the planet idly waiting for capitalism to end because “I’m a slave under capitalism, I have to drive everywhere, I have to eat meat”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, the problem is consumers buying the products.

  If everybody refused to use the standing seats, they’d eventually HAVE to get rid of them, there’d be no point in having a chunk of the plane empty.

  Communists be like, “we must unite to stop capitalists destroying the planet! Now where’s that planet destroying steak I paid for…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Then don’t book standing seats?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Comfy cozy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Luckily in my country, the vaguely trump style politician not only lost the election, but didn’t get enough votes in his own district and is no longer a politician. Same thing happened in Canada.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We gonna fight⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We can’t even use the best slurs because we’re too considerate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Greens leader Adam Bandt projected to lose in Melbourne, leaving party without its captain - ABC News⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Mrs says it’s not because of gerrymandering, but simple redistricting due to population changes, but surely whoever was in charge knew, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All the political mail I got this election⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Greens pamphlets are printing on recycled paper using biodegradable ink, and their corflutes are doubled sided with a different greens candidate, which eases waste.

  If you’re this concerned about environmental damage, I hope you’re vegan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After 8 years, I'm finally releasing my first video game today: Game Over - A Musical RPG??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As much as I’d love a sale, the game is really quite tough. My partner was/is streaming it on twitch, she’s a moderately good gamer and she spent probably an hour on one of the mid stage games.

  I do have “Less Hard” as a difficulty setting that drops the notes you saw in the trailer, probably in half. And if people really want an “Even Less Hard” mode, I can add that in probably a day or two.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'A lifetime of disasters': Young protester interrupts PM's major announcement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, I agree wholeheartedly with everything. I’m putting greens 1 absolutely, but labour is obviously above the libs. My point, while labour is shit house, as far as centre left politics go, they’re making gains towards net zero, unlike the libs who vote against both 2035 and 2050.

  But just as an aside, are you vegan?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'A lifetime of disasters': Young protester interrupts PM's major announcement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure the current labour government took us from 28% renewables to 48%, with projections of mid 80s by 2030.

  Current gas use was earmarked by the Liberal government in the mid 2010s, with locked in prices that caused gas to be sold at next to nothing until 2030-35. Expansion of gas in the interim was deemed necessary to stop the gas industry from imploding due to poor Liberal deal making.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Legalise Cannabis Party 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh did everyone know that election funding is given ONLY to whoever you pick as first? Even when your vote trickles down to whoever wins, that $3-5(or so?) is only provided to your first choice?

  I’ll still be putting the Animal Justice Party number 1, but it’s good to know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Satire] Politicians ready to condemn one wombat child being taken, yet to mention extreme rate that Aboriginal children are taken⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Boy I wish this ire could be directed at the animal farming industry, who also take the babies from the mother (but this time to kill and eat the babies), whilst also keeping the mother perpetually pregnant to rinse and repeat the process.

  All the while contributing 15-20% of the entire planets greenhouse gas emissions.

  Boy I sure do wish.

  I think he had a good grasp on consumer desires. Which seems to be really tough for the majority of people, perhaps business people in particular.

  Are you guys just generating insanely difficult code? I feel like 90% of all my code generation with o1 works first time? And if it doesn’t, I just let GPT know and it fixes it right then and there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australian economist argues China is conning the world on net zero⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  India and China look to wealthy western nations that cluck their tongues: “only WE can destroy the planet to take our citizens out of poverty”.

  When in reality, we should be giving a massive portion of our budget to help them grow in a carbon neutral way.

  I’d happily pay an extra 20% in my annual tax to help fund rising nations grow in a healthy manner.

  You know how when you get put under for anaesthesia, and you don’t notice the time you were gone? It’s like a cut in the tape of life.

  What if death is like that, and BAM your consciousness re-emerges billions of years in the future the moment you die.

  But your consciousness is alone. And in pitch black nothingness. Forever.
