Fucking cursed knowledge when people know you own a telescope.

“Oh it’s a full moon tonight! You gonna take your telescope out?!”

Then you either have to lie and pretend to be excited, or be that akshually asshole. And then half the time you try to tell them the truth, they think your just being negative and that it’s obviously the best time to take the telescope out because just look at the moon it’s so big and full and clearly that must be the optimal way to view it, and then you have to try to explain how shadows work and how lots of the details are missed when the light is shining directly into the craters instead of at an angle and how the light of the full moon is so intense that it washes out anything else that you are wanting to look at and then they ask why you’re being so difficult, can’t you just take the telescope out? So you haul your giant fucking telescope out and get it all set up and they look through it at the moon and kinda go “yea that’s nice! See? It’s still beautiful!” and yes it is, but it’s only like 30% as amazing as it would be with any kind of gibbous or crescent and then they ask is there anything else they can look at and you again have to explain that because the moon is full, you can’t really get any good views of nebulas and any planets you look at will be practically colorless and then they make you show them anyways and they just aren’t as excited as they could have been because it’s not nearly as impressive so they lose interest within 5 minutes and then you have to pack up and haul back in your giant telescope that they insisted you get out to show them the views you told them wouldn’t be super impressive.

And then they forget all of this within a month and so 30 days later you’re hit again with “Oh it’s a full moon tonight! You gonna take out your telescope?!”

And yet 99% of good paying jobs won’t even consider you if you don’t have a LinkedIn. You don’t have to apply on there, or even be active, but you do need one.

I can not spoil the critically acclaimed anime, Cory in the House, because everyone is already familiar with it.

Bots getting the title wrong for engagement bait, this isn’t from a 1901 nurses guide.

This is a sketch from critically acclaimed manga and anime adaption Cory in the House.

For more fun and games, you can refer to your wife as your “ex-girlfriend”.

God, do you remember the hell that was mid-2010’s gaming? 90% of all releases were fps’s with every color just being a different shade of brown.

Sure, if you weren’t competing with every other vape out there that has things like variable voltage settings (at least 3), a pre-heat feature, the ability to turn on/off with 5 presses, or to turn off automatically after 5-10 minutes without use, a low battery indicator, a charging indicator, a broken coil indicator…

Hmm, seems like you need a lot more than a battery, heating coil, button, and single transistor.

I want to get back into it, but isn’t it end of life? Wasn’t the last expansion the final one?

On your point 3 there was a 1 time issue back in 2020 about redirect links from 1 specific site (binance.us). I know a lot of companies claim malicious things were a bug, but considering it only happened once, was restricted to one site, was fixed almost immediately after it was discovered, and had to do with auto fill settings in the address bar from people who had already used brave’s affiliate links; it really does seem more like a bug. Why do you insinuate that they “keep” doing something when there is only this one instance?

Also no where in that link does it mention “selling user data” so that part seems to have come straight from you ass.

I’d address the other points and why they are pretty much meaningless when you dig into the actual stories, but I dont have the time, and trying to explain the reality of brave to Lemmy users is like trying to explain to a dog why they can’t just eat all the food all the time.

But I did want to specifically call out point 3 because you literally just made shit up and a primal part of my brain can not stand dirty fucking liars who lie because they don’t have any actual arguments.

Fuck you.

You mean the Totenkopf? The symbol that was on the hat of every SS Concentration Camp Guard and has been prominently featured in nearly every form of media that has shown Nazi’s? You mean that skull and crossbones?

both parties

Didn’t Schumer just endorse him?

God I hate when I drink too much and wind up getting a well recognized symbol of hate and fascism permanently marked on my body. A symbol that’s so well recognized that you typically have to seek out specific artists who are even willing to create it and who would be unlikely to find by stumbling into a random tattoo parlor.

Lots of movies this year that broke out of the typical Hollywood slop mold.

Make good movies and people go see them. Who knew?

I believe there is an exception for bundles like the humble bundle.

Google automatically screens and blocks spam calls. That alone is enough for me to put it above Apple.

Honestly, it was my favorite SW game I ever played. Yes, better even than KotR. I felt like I was IN the Star wars universe. Not as a mystical space wizard, but just like… A person. And I loved every second of it. The world felt so alive, especially the cities. There were so many small elements that didn’t need to be there but I appreciated nonetheless, like the street food mini game. Did I need a weird QuickTime event mini game to eat food? No. Did I enjoy the fact that you would get served a big dish of alien cuisine and then actually get to see your character eat it? Like bite-by-bite and could watch it disappear with incredible detail? Sure! There’s a lot of points like that where you can see a lot of love and passion for the game shine through.

It makes me so sad to hear how poorly received the game was. Coming on the heels of Andor, it felt like it was supposed to be a big push in trying to move the SW franchise away from the constant Jedi/Sith space wizard conflict and focus more on the universe itself. Hell, even the rebellion/empire conflict took a back seat in favor of exploring the criminal underworld. I would LOVE more of that (and yes I know about the Maul show and have been enjoying it, but it too leans heavy on the space wizards).

About as effective as writing a bill saying war is banned.

Because there is an impending global catastrophe they have determined is unavoidable and unpreventable that they have kept under wraps due to the inevitable collapse of society once people learn of it. This is why there are no long term plans for anything anymore. Because there won’t be a long term.
