- Comment on Microsoft Follows Google on a Controversial Decision - gHacks Tech News 2 days ago:
Yah. I’m torn. On the one hand it’s kind of stupid and pointless to change the names of things. On the other hand If your changing the name, Gulf of America is probably the best option. The real point of doing it is to give the media something marketable to talk about instead of the more boringly important things going on. Which again tonight, gets me dangerously close to a rant about the shitty media we have.
- Comment on Why isn't free stuff (public domain/noncommercial) discussed as much as paid stuff? 3 days ago:
Because not as many people know about the free stuff, since it doesn’t have a marketing budget to tell everyone it exists. If fewer people know about it, it’ll be discussed less.
- Comment on Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League | Official Trailer | Warner Bros. Entertainment 3 days ago:
uh…
That seems insane.
I’m betting on either awesome future classic, or notoriously terrible.
Not a chance it’ll be anything between. - Comment on Would you consider me a “dry texter”? 5 days ago:
You clearly don’t like texting, and only do it out of some sense of social obligation.
The kind of thing one might call Malicious Compliance. - Comment on How likely do you think there will be a run on the banks? 6 days ago:
Asunder?
Definition
“The term asunder is an adverb that means “into separate parts” or “apart from each other.” It is often used to describe something that has been forcefully separated or torn apart” - Comment on The Live Action Masters of the Universe film has started shooting. 1 week ago:
Fuck off!
If it’s not for you, you’re free to ignore it.
Stop criticizing shit before it even exists. - Comment on Are people around you still excited about MCU movies? 1 week ago:
That says more about you than the movie.
- Comment on Why isn't free stuff (public domain/noncommercial) discussed as much as paid stuff? 1 week ago:
I assume mostly, because the free stuff doesn’t have a marketing budget.
- Comment on Are people around you still excited about MCU movies? 1 week ago:
Yes!
- Comment on Are people around you still excited about MCU movies? 1 week ago:
One person, yes. The rest were never into them very much anyway.
I’m not going to jump on the MCU hate wagon. Some of them have been great, others less so. But none have been actually bad movies. There’s nothing wrong with making fun and forgettable entertainment.
- Comment on Disney+ Lost 700,000 Subscribers in Final 3 Months of 2024 2 weeks ago:
Disney+ now has 124.6 million subs.
So they lost a fraction of a percent, and probably doesn’t matter really. Ok
- Comment on Why is deportation done instead of imprisonment or making people become documented? In other words, why does deportation exist? 3 weeks ago:
Thus is the answer.
- Comment on Why is deportation done instead of imprisonment or making people become documented? In other words, why does deportation exist? 3 weeks ago:
No. That would be better served by imprisonment.
- Comment on In the dark, does anyone else sense things but not see them? 3 weeks ago:
I can sense it’s dark, but I’ve never been able to see it in the dark.
- Comment on 'Den of Thieves 3' in the Works With Gerard Butler, O'Shea Jackson Jr 3 weeks ago:
A movie’s quality or worth, has nothing to do with weather or not you, I, or any other individual likes it.
The world is bigger than your opinion. And when you say a movie doesn’t need to be made because you didn’t like the last one, you’re literally implying “I’m the only person who should decide if a movie is worth making!” Which I’m sure you’ll agree is ridiculous.
Not every movie is made for you, obviously. So maybe if you didn’t like it, it was worth making for somone else.
- Comment on 'Den of Thieves 3' in the Works With Gerard Butler, O'Shea Jackson Jr 3 weeks ago:
That’s exactly why I mean. “Movies suck, unless I like it.”
- Comment on 'Den of Thieves 3' in the Works With Gerard Butler, O'Shea Jackson Jr 3 weeks ago:
I get the sense you don’t like movies.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
What account?
- Comment on Why do people indoors at public places always listen to their phone at full volume? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve never experienced this. Everybody here uses headphones of some sort, and I have no idea how loud they’re listening.
- Comment on Why do many lame or incorrect comments get so much more attention than some witty or funny ones? 4 weeks ago:
There is a very fine, very subjective line, between lame and funny.
- Comment on What are the odds of getting salmonella when eating raw poultry products? 4 weeks ago:
Those are “Cage Free”.
I’m not sure what technically counts as “Free Range”. I think if the building has a small chicken size door, so at least theoretically a few could manage to go outside, that might count. - Comment on What are the odds of getting salmonella when eating raw poultry products? 4 weeks ago:
Kagi says the risk is pretty high.
- Comment on James Cameron on 'Avatar 3' Potentially Sparking Fan Backlash 4 weeks ago:
But not the people who enjoy it
- Comment on James Cameron on 'Avatar 3' Potentially Sparking Fan Backlash 4 weeks ago:
Not honestly!
Flippantly. Facetiously. Disrespectfully.I’m tired of people shitting on people who like movies they don’t.
Criticizing movies is one thing. Criticizing people is another entirely.
Fuck off with your gate keeping asshole shit. - Comment on Why is it when I watch a movie at home? It seems like I have to go deaf just this way. I can hear the audio of somebody speaking compared to the explosions and other special effect sounds? 4 weeks ago:
Stop using the dynamic sound. That should help.
- Comment on How is TikTok being blocked in the US? 4 weeks ago:
That’s got nothing to do with what side loading means.
- Comment on How is TikTok being blocked in the US? 4 weeks ago:
This isn’t North Korea.
Even China and Russia can’t fully block things.
Our networks aren’t nearly as controlled as theirs. - Comment on How is TikTok being blocked in the US? 4 weeks ago:
Not quite. You don’t need any app store at all.
You literally download an APK file from a website or anywhere, then install it directly. Could even be a friend with a thumb drive. Doesn’t matter how you get it, it’s just a file. - Comment on How is TikTok being blocked in the US? 4 weeks ago:
On Android you can download apps (.APK files) from the web, and install them without any app store.
- Comment on How is TikTok being blocked in the US? 4 weeks ago:
I believe Google and Apple are to be fined if they don’t remove the app from their stores.
We don’t have the ability to nationally block the domains and IPs, so current users will still be able to access it. So you shouldn’t need a VPN.
Android users could side load the app if they want.
