  Oh it’s absolutely different enough to count.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s a movie nobody can convince you is good?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Good Lord some of the answers in this thread. I first thought this was like an unpopular opinion community. Is this all just Edge Lords trying to say the most popular and well regarded movies they can?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think the US will actually log its national parks?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I think every single acre of public land will be gleefully giving away to billionaires yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it a common thing for people who have left authoritarian countries to still feel the fear of their now-former country?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course it is, sometimes authoritarian governments track you down and murder you with an ice ax in Mexico City.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Next Xbox Rumors Surface; No Devkits Available to Developers Yet (aiming for 2027)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s an impressive ability to ignore an extremely widely known issue. Hey by the way just as a heads up there’s also this thing going on called climate change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Next Xbox Rumors Surface; No Devkits Available to Developers Yet (aiming for 2027)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I’ve had three of thier controllers die due to stick shift so there seems to be a fucking reason to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favourite classic movie you think everyone should have seen once in their life?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh okay when you said original I thought you might be referring to the movies that came out before the Jackson ones. Also by original are you saying you want the theater cut instead of the director cut? Because if so I don’t know why anyone would be that wrong on purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favourite classic movie you think everyone should have seen once in their life?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Casablanca

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favourite classic movie you think everyone should have seen once in their life?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you mean when you say LOTR original trilogy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From the trailer of Wolfenstein: The New Order (2014)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  How could they know the future of space x so long ago?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does it make sense to buy a lifetime supply of honey?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Carry it around? You just find a tree. Nice hollow tree and hide it in there. Everyone knows it’s how you store honey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WHY IS THE WEST ALWAYS STRONGER THAN THE EAST???⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not. The 90s was basically ruled by the east. A good chunk of the 80s too. These things go in waves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah this line of reasoning doesn’t really gel with actual reality considering Trump is now talking about repealing the chip Act. He’s not actually trying to bring back Manufacturing. Trump has never cared about that. He doesn’t give a shit about Outsourcing manufacturing jobs and his boss Elon Musk certainly doesn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon MGM's Best Bet to Protect James Bond's Legacy: Hire Christopher Nolan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  With the last few Bond movies dark and dull enough?

  Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marlow: Musk Thinks Half of Government Is Waste and There’s Proof Backing Him Up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I know I should not expect much from Breitbart, but even I expected them to at least to go into some detail on the claim of there being proof. Just something perfunctory at the very least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any of the Suikoden games really. Legend of legaia 2

  Ephemeral Fantasia for an extremely underrated gem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump and Musk aren’t the first to make deep cuts. Clinton-era Reinventing Government saved billions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it though?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump and Musk aren’t the first to make deep cuts. Clinton-era Reinventing Government saved billions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know if tying yourself to a Administration that deregulated to the point that it caused one of the most devastating and massive Financial collapses in American history is really a winning strategy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it a pattern that every time a movie, show or animation that doesn't have a white person as the protagonist is attacked by right-wingers?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We can quibble about whether or not a second character merits the title lead or not, however it’s still inaccurate to use it as an example of a counter to the raised point. The show’s main lead was a white male character. That’s inarguable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it a pattern that every time a movie, show or animation that doesn't have a white person as the protagonist is attacked by right-wingers?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t the dragon Prince’s lead a white guy? I’m almost positive. Also a lot of these are probably too obscure to really raise a stir. I’m kind of shocked even brought up dragon Prince much less the Gundam show you mentioned.

  Also your ability to wall yourself off from the Star Wars “controversies” is rather impressive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where we putting these?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally everywhere

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon compares Harry and Ron⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So much writing has been done about how Cho Chang is a perfectly reasonable name that I don’t even understand how it’s still out there. It’s amazing how disinformation Never Dies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did people end-up agreeing on the name of rivers/mountains and seas ?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Typically starts by wiping out the people that had other names for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Many workers would take a pay cut to work from home — some would forgo at least 20% of their salary⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am required to pay taxes to the US government, not elon musk running a fraudulent government agency, why should I pay?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It wouldn’t be so sure about getting that refund

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think of anarchism?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To your point though diminishing returns. When is it worth it. You’ve just a conceded that enforcing said laws don’t actually prevent the crime. I would say enforcement never prevents any crime and enforcement is about punishment not prevention. So when is it worth it? What level totalitarianism an authoritarianism is worth it? How much abuse and Injustice is necessary to assuage your fears about the other? Surely you’re not going to sit here and tell me only fear of punishment is what stops you from murdering people?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think of anarchism?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re enforced now but murder still happens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To put it very simply and probably too broadly, capitalism. Our whole system is built around taking advantage of people.
