I feel like the problem with 8 was how ham-fisted it was. Like, I get wanting to break the norms, go a different direction, and not rely on nostalgia to direct your story. But maybe taking what everyone loved from the first movies, going “actually all this stuff you loved is SHIT and you were stupid for ever liking it” and then literally burning it all in front of everyone was the wrong way to go about that.

It felt like the writer held some deep seeded hatred for Star Wars and its fans, and went out of their way to make that known.

I mean, personally I started rolling my eyes when I saw the comment section almost immediately turned into .ml users simping HARD for China and North Korea, despite literally no one bringing them up.

It raises it exclusively for the Costume Institute at the Met, which the group that preserves historical clothing. I just… Fuck. Are you really serious? How the hell do you look at that amount of money, look at the people starving on the streets, and conclude that this is a worthwhile function. Thats just fucking insane.

Sorry, we can’t afford to build new housing or addiction centers, but thank God we can continue to preserve an evening dress from the 1940’s. That’s truly what matters in society.

Right up there with whatsherface and theuglyone.

I’m sorry, but I do not think that raising money for high fashion is in any way important given the current problems the world is facing. It’s like asking for donations for fancy new curtains while your fucking house is on fire.

We do not need high fashion to survive. If every fashion designer dropped dead tomorrow, I promise you society would not crumble. We need healthcare. We need housing. We need our basic fucking needs met. Until that time, I will call events like this a collosal waste of time and money.

I’m not picking up a psp.

I’m just emulating it on my steam deck.

And then at age 13 they turn into underwear.

CORRECT. THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN MAD ABOUT BRINGING YOUR OWN FOOD TO THE AIRPORT. THAT HAS LITERALLY ALWAYS BEEN ALLOWED. THE ONLY THING THEY DONT ALLOW IS LIQUIDS. SOLID FOOD IS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

THIS ISNT A HIDDEN FACT OR LOOPHOLE OR ANYTHING, ITS PRETTY STANDARD INFORMATION SO IM STRUGGLING TO UNDERSTAND HOW YOU COULD FUCK THAT UP.

If you do anything OTHER than ignore them, your number gets marked as “active” and then sold to other scammers. I roll my eyes at the people who gleefully brag about all the ways they “fuck with spammers” without realizing that by simply answering the phone, they have already given them what they want. Sure, the low level worker on the phone (who might actually be a slave) might want you to fall for a scam and give them money, but the people running these call centers are perfectly fine if all they get is confirmation that you have an active number which can then be sold to other call centers.

Stop answering spam/scam calls.

Except Boomers all have lead poisoning from growing up around leaded gasoline, which means their generation is uniquely antagonistic, selfish, and stupid. This is not an “every generation” thing, there is an actual reason their generation is so short-sighted, uncaring of future generations, and has fucked everything up.

I finally got Emudeck working properly so I’ve been enjoying a ton of old games! KOTOR, Tony Hawk Underground, Jak and Daxter, Shadow of Colossus, Mario Sunshine. I tried putting every NES, GB, and GBA game on there, but it wound up flooding my collections and messed up the folders, so I think I need to spend some time curtailing what I keep installed.

I just don’t get what the point of DRM software is. I don’t feel like it reduces piracy at all. As soon as one person cracks it, which they always do, the game is out there for people to download. Best case, companies have maybe a week or two between release and the crack. I really don’t believe there are that many people who want a game, would pirate it if they could, but are unable to wait a couple days for the crack and so just cave and buy it. Like, the extra revenue from these unicorns can not justify whatever they are spending to include DRM.

So what exactly is the fear these companies have of not including DRM? Leaving it off doesn’t make piracy more widespread. Again, as soon as one person cracks it, EVERYONE has it. So what difference does it make if one person cracks it vs 1000’s of people cracking it if the end result is that it’s out there for anyone?

Literally anyone who works at a company they don’t own with more than 20 employees.

This particular post IS a joke though, as that is not the picture they will be using.

Yea! Just quit! It will all work out!

Even if you’re the only one providing for your household! If you lose your job, you can just rely on social safety nets- oh…

Well for a few months you can just rely on your savings- oh…

Well at least the job market is- oh…

That’s also a pathetically low number given the size of the population.

In the US alone, over 3 million people die every year. That means even by their most wildly optimistic, straight-from-the-ass estimates, it will only reduce deaths by 0.3%.

Does that sound worth it to you to give up your freedom?

The fuckig disrespect to barely blur this man’s face and post him in a photoshopped t-shirt that makes him look like a piece of shit.

What the fuck is wrong with you? What did this man do to you that you would post this online? You think that blur job is doing anything?

“Relax, it’s just a joke”

PEOPLES LIVES HAVE BEEN RUINED FOR THIS KIND OF SHIT! All it takes is one dumbfuck to not see that it’s a joke to cause a problem. One parent who complains to the admin who grill this guy for no reason. One shithead student who starts a rumor about him.

Fuck you OP. I hope someone plasters YOUR shitty blurred face all over the internet and tries to tie YOU to being a racist, elitist, piece of shit.

Have you considered the other possibility? That you simply suck at recognizing obviously fake shit on the internet?

Can you even buy 3000 series GPU’s at stores anymore?

I think you have a childlike understanding of what “proof” means.
