I’m not paying overpriced movie tickets. They’ve lost my business there.

Disney+ - During Black Friday when they give out $5 a month for a year offers only. SiriusXM - Only when they offer $5 a month for a year deals. Netflix - Base plan only and if you’ve figured a workaround to watch it without ads. Tello - No-contract based phone plans for dirt cheap. Even better than Mint Mobile. ProtonVPN

The trick is to scour for deals and offers. Never pay full regular price for something and always cancel a few days before the due date so you’re not charged the full amount once the deal ends.

Since it’s a Redditor and Redditor information is by default, to be taken with many levels of skepticism. I’m under the impression that this ‘criticism’ are probably in the form of people telling said Redditor that they’re a bullshitter.

I’ve done a quick search to find an image of this copy and I’m not surprised that I have not found it word for word. The only thing close that I’ve found was a letter he actually did write to Hollywood, back in 2012

So it’s likely that this Redditor, probably hashed up a made-up tweet image because it’s a common way to stir up bullshit, like any lowlife Redditor would want to do when they’re bored.

Oh and I ran a Google image search on this image and what came up? The Reddit post itself, go figure.

Forums were some of the ways you gather information and become part of communities. IRCs and Chat Rooms provided by Bravenet, MSN, Yahoo! and AOL were more of the real-time ways of communicating with people as well as messenger programs.

The only great nuisances we all came across were pop-up advertisements, dialog windows that’d come onto your screen to just advertise to you. Ad-blocking was just a dream in the early days which is one of the things I absolutely don’t like about the period then.

Websites had a lot of character to them, they went by themes, they decorated in kind to where you identified with it. Places like Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and video game websites all have character. These days, everything is too bland and linear.

Social media was present but it was very tolerable, it’s not as in your face and everywhere as it is today.

The internet was a thing you could actually take time away from and not feel like you’re missing anything, except for what was going on in your circle or community. It was sometimes exciting to come back after a few days to check e-mail and catch up that way. There was a nice balance to it. With everything 24/7 and how many things adapted to it where everyone has an app, it’s nauseating and tiring to interact on a constant basis.

As far as the uncensored part? There were places you just had to know access to, to see them. They weren’t that out in the open. Plus, this was pre-cyberbullying laws where, everyone could get away with dogpiling on you so that was the wild and uncensored part of it. You just had to have some thick skin or you weren’t going to have a fun time online, then again, even that has amplified where even expressing an honest non-offending opinion isn’t going to guarantee you from being interacted with some no-life piece of shit at anytime.

Over-quoted and overexposed, yes. But not terrible.

I don’t remember anyone taking a dump on this movie, unless they had no taste or humor. Everyone knew what it was about and took it for what it was worth.

Same. I don’t mind the transformers themselves, well most of them that weren’t based off of stereotypes anyways. The explosions were a bit much, to the point of comedy. I think there was like a scene where Optimus was running through Chernobyl (remembered it was from Dark of the Moon), it was just that things exploded around him anyways. It was unintentionally funny.

All and any of the human interaction and scenes, they can just go to hell. Nobody cared for them and nobody cared about Sam and his struggles.

I won’t disagree that the Wachowskis had a weird way of piecing together the story. Not to mention, all of this stuff was released in one year which is impressive but also made things very convoluted.

Familiarity.

It was a pain in the ass for me to even try to get people I knew to even try Discord, if they weren’t already on it. They just love their Facebook too much to even take a moment to poke their head out and see the alternatives.

As much as it would be nice to see more activity on the Fediverse as a whole. It would all turn upside down very quick the more people jumped on and it would devolve things into a similar environment that readily accessible social media platforms have long devolved into.

I’m forever privileged to have been part of the crowd that got to know and experience the internet as it developed.

It was a much more colorful and sociable world. It was also a lot quieter, because people mostly kept to themselves and the internet wasn’t 24/7.

It’s been a reality for quite a while. It’s hard to pinpoint when exactly we started seeing these, but I reckon to guess they didn’t start being a thing until the mid-2010s. We’ve had bots before on the internet, but they were regulated to being more like assistants like on IRC channels or chat rooms. Where their purpose was to be greeters or handle tasks the moderator needed to be automated.

Sorry bruh, but I don’t think you’ve taken a closer look at where the RAM prices have gone. Do you truly believe people have that much disposable income to continually upgrade entire machines on a regular basis?

People will ultimately build a system if it will suit their needs and purposes within budget. I don’t get what is there about that to get so complicated over.

Matrix Reloaded.

Actually, people didn’t like both Reloaded and Revolutions. I think with what the lore was going with, they served the series right. I just think people had a hard time following what they were about.

I can’t defend Resurrections though.

High School diploma. I just simply knew how horrible my schooling has gotten up until graduating, that going to college wasn’t an option even if I wanted to. Extended education is not entirely off the table for me, it’s just a matter of getting in position to deal with what costs if any, comes from it.

What do you mean “they actually listened to the community”? If they’d listen to the community, there’d be NO AI whatsoever.

I had a double take on that number they’re asking for.

$13 Trillion? Geez, fucking greedy much? Not that they haven’t been greedy before, but we’re used to seeing millions and billions that are asked per track (technically they’d ask ridiculous sums of like $10,000 ~ even $100,000 per track in the past). But this just glaringly demonstrate how greedy these fucks really are and they just gotta tell everyone about it.

I still say it was dumb of Anna to bother with Spotify but I like the defiance of just not caring.

Everything is disposable. I don’t think you or the author who wrote that article has a clue. It’s a matter of getting things that’ll last longer than others do and making financially wise choices and purchasing decisions based on the needs of the moment.

Like, I’m not spending $5 on a toothbrush when you need to replace it every 30 days, I buy the cheapest toothbrush I can afford to replace it with since they’re all equally made. I will spend some more money on a computer component if I feel it will have a positive increment on my entire system. Replacing my entire system would just set me back big and it would make me waste the components that are already inside that are still good. Plus, if I decide to sell the old system, I’m not going to get a good value back.

The only thing I’ve yet to replace is the case. Why? Because it’s still serviceable to me.

I just don’t get this stupid logic where you have to replace the entire system. For what? just to be with the in-crowd of current technology trends? No thanks, I’ll build my PC based on what I want out of it.

Legalizing it wouldn’t fix the bad shit prostitution has working in the background. It’s like the porn industry, too many bad apples and giving them legalization is like giving them sanction.

Lol, everyone just wants to coom in someone and pay someone else to allow them doing it, that’s the real thing here.

I don’t fucking care.

It’s just one big event to see how much commercialization can be crammed down people’s throats. The Commercial Bowl isn’t too far away either.
