Shows you the type of people that are on Lemmy.

“stop defending corporations”

It’s like we hate the corporation too but they’re correct in this instance.

Some people say you can buy the tokens instead of a monthly subscription. They’re not as openly offered as they get more cash from monthly obviously.

Me too. I bought the first quest before Facebook acquired it. Now that Facebook/Meta own quest and stuff … I’ve been staying away from VR for now.

I’ll definitely be doing my best to get one as soon as it’s available. Everything about it sounds hype.

They can’t afford to pay so many mods! You’re crazy! /s

Now, if you’ll excuse him … he’s buying a new yacht.

They have to listen to crazy stuff that goes unchallenged. I’ve also lived in the UK and if you read the Daily Mail you’ll see stories about people driving Ferraris and on welfare.

These bubbles can be really wild.

I work in tech and I was tired of Musk one day and said: “I don’t care where you’re politics lie, but I’m sick of hearing about him”.

Then my coworker said, “aren’t you sick of paying taxes?”

I’m said, “I’m a progressive, you’re talking to the wrong guy”

He then said, “there are people who don’t work at all that get more money from the government than what we earn, why should they get money?”

Urgh, then we had a bit of back and forth. I doubt any of these poor people are getting money that’s equivalent to our tech salaries but if anybody’s getting that amount of money from the government it’d be the rich. I also went into the fact that I don’t have kids and he did. So a lot of my money is funding his kids too, but yeah …

Seriously, I’ve had it once before when I stayed at a place in New York almost 20 years back at this point.

I was like, oh … why are these bumps and why are they in a row? so weird!

Although, worse was when I got a bed in London UK at Swiss Cottage to just stay one night. It was like a dorm room bed. I think I estimated that I got like 200 bed bug bites in total. I had to estimate but it was crazy. What’s funny is that when you’re entire body is covered in bites, the itchiness bothers you a bit less because if it’s just one area you keep scratching it. However when it’s your whole body, you’re like … everywhere equally hurts so I don’t need to bother scratching. At least that’s what it was like for me.

Sorry, just releasing out the trauma :P

Now whenever I get any bites … I just freak out and wonder if it’s bed bugs. I woke up last night and noticed an itchy bump and just freaked myself out.

Voters are just lazy and stupid.

Voters saw January 6th and were like “I’m gonna stay home because voting doesn’t matter or I’m too busy and lazy to defend rights and democracy”.

Voters also see Trump and are so stupid to think that he was gonna make their economic life better. SleePy JoE diD tHaT! jOeVeR

Single Issue voters are just absolutely f**king stupid.

Media also sanewashed RFK and Trump again. The cult will always vote for their candidate. The normal people need a “reason” to take action. People love blaming Kamala for not beating the “oh-so-easy” Trump but they wouldn’t move their worthless asses to vote anyways.

When my friend’s daughter was 9 years old and he was complaining how she didn’t know how to read an analogue clock.

I mean, I wound up teaching my nephews when they were 4 … not sure what’s stopping him from doing it though.

I liked Korra too. I liked the aesthetics and call backs … they didn’t feel as “in your face”. It doesn’t have the majesty of the original series, but I liked it still!

That’s fair.

I was mainly talking about the movie and netflix series.

I considered the original and series and Korra locked in together as they were made by the original creators and we were mainly talking about offshoots.

Even better when your team isn’t in. So you gotta go in to do Zoom calls …

I dunno, not even an old franchise but even with Avatar the Last Airbender … they keep trying to retell Aang’s story when they could do so many others stories within the universe and give nods to the original. Repeatedly doing the same storyline makes the universe feel smaller.

update: Although … now that I think about there have been franchises that have expanded poorly … Rings of Power … Alien: Earth. Yes I know there are fans of both and I love that you guys love it. However, I don’t think either have been accepted largely by the fandom.

Fucking monsters.

I think the play book from IDF apologists is to say: “she’s a liar”, “Israel never does anything wrong”, “the people were punished this is a fringe case”

Not that this is a systemic fucking thing and what they do to anyone who doesn’t agree with them.

My friend told me that one of her former colleagues, wicked smart dude, was talking to her about space. Then he went off about how there were pyramids on Mars. She was like, “oh … I’m quite caught up on this stuff and I haven’t heard of this info. Where can I find this info?” The guy apparently has been having super long chats with whatever LLMand thinks that they’re now diving into the “truth” now.

Speaking of innocent. These people put videos and photos of themselves kneeling on their friends/partners necks to insult the death of George Floyd.

Popeye was a Tuvan:
