  Maybe you shouldn’t be able to buy an America sited bag of novelty plastic waste for 10 bucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alien: Romulus fixed a CGI issue for the home video release⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I found the whole movie disappointing, it felt way too disneyesque in its treatment of the originals. So many forced references and unneeded quotes, it distracted and degraded the otherwise decent plot (why the fuck does the android have to quote ripley saving newt? Why does every second shot look like they desperately try to evoke previous imagery?).

  I found the exact same scheme in place when watching the predator remake, it hits way too hard on the reference bag, to the point I could predict certain dialogues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resume help⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably, though I really don’t want politics being shoved into a literal shitposting community without any prompt in the op either way. I have my own political issues to worry about over here in Germany and have only so much mental capacity for gloomy copeposting now that trump was re elected.

  There is also a wide range of communities available for political venting elsewhere, why does it have to be a non political post in a shitposting community? Where am I supposed to go if not here to avoid that stuff?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resume help⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Can we have one fucking post without american politics getting shoehorned in

  I get it’s important to you but perhaps keep it to topics or communities at least somewhat related

  For that time when you look at your motion detector alert footage, but are unsure whether you are looking at a package or a person?

  That’s fair, i probably wouldn’t give them the boot myself either. Though I would def try the rent thing to make them go outside and ideally doing something to improve themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's lacking pissing habits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I should preemptively block this. And you as well you filthy animal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's strict mom⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So you would rather protocol and document your child’s masturbation behavior than just telling them to pay rent or get out? Both would be a lot less awkward, but thats just me i guess

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's strict mom⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont remember that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon degoogles his Samsung⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, getting that going was only mildly less involved to do. You still need to dick around with the bootloader and such.

  Brown note? 👀

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choosing pink is chaotic evil?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would immediately try to weaponize it. Spend a weekend making putin telepathically shit his brains out without pause should probably be enough to make him die from the sheer loss of matter and nutrients.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And because you deserve it, here's one from the top shelf⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a daily smoker, yes.

  Though I will contest that it is largely psychological, when i go on a break after a couple days of poor sleep and appetite i am back to normal.

  Wait am I still on the left side

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon visits America⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah it’s been a while since I did that, probably 2010s? Just haven’t had the urge to try again since.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon visits America⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, that’s what your pop culture tells us Americans like to eat.

  So the thought process is something like “I really dont care for instant foods available here, but the Americans reference it all the time sometimes even as a kitchen staple. So maybe they have that shit figured out” and then you try it and get results such as mine.

  It also doesn’t help that I can’t go to an actual American restaurant, you know, being a continent away and all. Best I can do is maccas or Burger king, not even the chains you got over there that are supposedly good. If you’re lucky there is a pizza hut in a major city

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon visits America⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, if anything it is known for sugar in everything that’s not supposed to be sweet and corn syrup where you’d expect normal sweetness from sugar. And absurdly large portions.

  Personally I have only tried some of the more “famous” sweets such as twinkies and reecies or whatever it’s called, and I found both disgusting. The former are just weirdly greasy cake dough filled with teeth hurtingly sweet goop, so intense you can’t taste anything else. And the other made me gag after just a small bite and was entirely too sticky for my taste.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Communism⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In short, the authoritarianism happens because it requires a large amount of power to make the societal changes happen in the first place, which would then give rise to a generation that can maintain the system without overreach.

  Now the problem obviously is that humans are corruptible, and very few people in the history of our species have ever been given totalitarian powers and not abused it for their own power and benefit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hope you had a great christmas⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, thats asking the fox what he did in the hen house, to coin a paraphrase. Chinese citizens are generally very nationalistic and have a very skewed perspective due to the near total control of information the government has.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your bank details?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your first mistake was choosing to debate one of the most argumentative people on Lemmy. Can only get weird from there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games have you sunk the most time into?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally thousands of hours in stellaris and space engineers. Recently satisfactory as well.

  When I was younger I also played a metric fuckton of world of Warcraft, though that thankfully is a lot less addictive nowadays.

  Jews don’t count, all you’re doing is cleaning up the trash.

  🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indiana Jones doesn't "endorse" Nazis, Bethesda assure, just in case you were confused by him repeatedly murdering them⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why can i not murder a nazi? A murder is the deliberate ending of someone’s life. Why is that not applicable to Nazis?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be happy if you woke up today and your throat didn’t hurt.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ever since covid I get the influenza and covid vaccinations every season.

  Totally unrelated I’m sure, but ever since I’ve been doing that (and washing my hands first thing when coming home) I haven’t been sick at all. No runny or clogged nose, no coughing or itching throat. No fevers, no throwing up, just pure, healthy bliss.

  Get vaccinated people.

  “Do not give off mating signals unless you are given mating signals” how is that gonna work if nobody is supposed to initiate anything?

  I love this because it is entirely true and she is just being honest. Rich people can afford to have their coat cleaned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bandai Namco reportedly tries to bore staff into quitting, skirting Japan’s labor laws⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t miss your point, mine was just that a global corporation will not commit to doing this without the realistic expectation that it will work out for them. Perhaps Japan has less or no unions, perhaps the legal system does not provide for the employees suing them on the basis of “you made my job deliberately boring”. Just that especially a large corp such as this will not do this unless they crunched the numbers and it has been caculated this is the cheapest way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bandai Namco reportedly tries to bore staff into quitting, skirting Japan’s labor laws⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, they probably wouldn’t bother doing this if the legal framework wouldn’t make this a viable strategy. If it is culturally and legally difficult to fire your employees it makes “sense” to instead bore them into quitting, ethical concerns aside.
