Don’t get me wrong, I like the snacks. I like this shift away from artificial ingredients. But my fucking god, I hate the marketing trend of pretending like a goddamm snack food is some sorta fucking vibe/mood/lifestyle/movement. I wish nothing but the worst on the people who think this shit up.
News Is Trash Now | Journalists lose all integrity as they go all-in on generating click-bait nothing burgers to drive up ad revenue
It gave me a sort of feeling I didn’t get from anything else, that I liked. But it’s kind of hard to describe. Like standing on the edge of an epiphany but never quite grasping it.
Only ever had one, kinda. Though I’m not sure I’d call it comfortable? But it’s… visceral, which is mildy amusing because it’s trying to be cerebrial, but too much of the dialogue is just scattered quotes and philosophy references. Anyways, the movie is Ghost in the Shell: Innocence. The second one that was directed by Mamoru Oshii. These days, I don’t get anything out of watching it anymore. I watched it one too many times. But I’ve never taken to any movie like I did that one, so, it wins.
Firework sulphur
Being an astronaut was defo something I idolized as being a kid. Then I got older and realized what it’d take to actually live that life, and the risks involved in rocket travel, and things like muscle dystrophy from being in zero G too long. Not to mention all the schooling and training needed. And it’s all for… not much, really. Like, at the end of the day, space travel does not actually help humanity that much. Now, satellites have certainly changed things a shit ton, but like, we’re not going to other planets anytime soon. We’re not gathering resources from other planets. We’re not terraforming. Our “going to outer space” is parking your ass in a station in orbit and living with reduced QoL while you run experiments in zero-G. Just like, nah, fuck all that noise.
The movie, Aliens, plural, the James Cameron one, is utter trash. It is not a sci-fi hallmark of any sort. It is garbage that is a total slog to watch and should be lauded as terrible taste from the 80s. Even the much shat on AvP franchise, with it’s especially looked down on Requiem, is better than the shit Cameron shat out.
The classic style MMO, laden with hotkeys and hotbars, fetch quests, and grindingly gathering resources, needs to be taken 'round the barn and shot. This includes such megahits from WoW to FFXIV.
Dark Souls/Elden Ring was never good, and was only ever “okay,” at best, and never worth full price.
I’ll take my downvotes, now, thanks.
PTSD and trauma victims gobbling the pills like mad, the skills are just a bonus
I’d give away two years for expert knowledge in two areas: a painter and illustrator artist, and a successful stock broker. Fuck off from work and win at the market to cover expenses, spend the rest of my time creating whatever the hell I want with my art.
My mind seems to favor the negative memories, focuses on them, and I forget the good ones as they are no longer referenced. So I really don’t care which years I lose.
My negative thoughts, mostly. Even if you don’t believe in do-gooder fallacious platitudes like “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all,” the truth of the matter is it eases social instances to just not bring negativity to the table unless it’s really needed (which is usually to shut someone down who’s being an asshole, or seriously weighing pros and cons of something.)
No. I think it will get far less coverage than it should, will get pushed out of the news cycle early, and Trump won’t be held accountable. The only way anything happens is that someone who’s pissed off makes another assassination attempt and lands the shot this time.
To quote an ex-friend who was also Christian, “A church isn’t a club of saints, its a hospital of sinners.”
It’s almost like I’m not referring directly to the article or something! 🙄 My response is referring to the left-wing posting around the news that tries to slam the reps who caved.
Love how the left is doing its usual run of hating how its side has caved, while missing the irony that the left caves every day by tolerating their right-wing neighbors for the scum they are. Like, newsflash, never mind the caving of a handful of democrats. There’s nearly half a Senate and House full of the enemy, put their by your enemy neighbors, and their reps are the real reason we’re in this mess, and the left is going to sit by and tolerate those voters rather than making their lives hell. Because the left is the “good guy,” and lose everything because the left won’t get their hands dirty. And the Right? They get their hands dirty, they suck, but they get their hands dirty, and that’s why they’re in power. Wake the fuck up. Now is not the time to be tolerant, peaceful, or moral. Fuck the idea of “Dems gotta be perfect while the Right gets to be assholes.” Treat the right as scum to be removed just as they remove citizens with ICE. That is the proper way to view them.
Not some do nothing, pat yourselves on the back ass peaceful protest. Brian Thompson deserved his death. Charkie Kirk deserved his death. Aaron Danielson deserved his death.
I mean, in my own case, I’m such a bloody mess I couldn’t really recommend someone be in a long term relationship with me. Or nothing too deep, anyway. I’d feel like I’d drag them down. But all that aside, the biggest reason I can think of to be hesitant about commitment is that, in commiting, you will find yourself having to give up control of your life at times and making comprises for the other person’s sake. Where as if you are non-comittant, you will have more autonomy to lead your life how you wish.
I’m not, but a friend is. With a couple, actually. He’d inevitably wind up sleeping with them now and again, and at this point one has just become a fuck buddy with no real relationship attached. But really, it’s your own dynamics that matter here, and that’s between you and that person. So how anything winds up going, well, the one’s most qualified to make best guesses are you and them.
The United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn the U.S. embargo on Cuba for the 33rd consecutive year, with just seven opposed, including the United States, Israel and Ukraine.
33rd consecutive year
And what the fuck was done?
And yet, risking getting shot may be exactly what winds up happening, or rather, may be what needs to happen even if no one wants to do it. But it also can’t just be one person, can’t make change with just one Luigi. Whole neighborhoods and communities have to organize, and it’s simply not happening on a mass scale.
Then again, even if that happens, the public still needs the military on their side. Because if it gets to the point Trump thinks he can call down missiles on American cities, the military needs to tell him to fuck off. Citizens won’t be able to defend against that or drones.
Nothing you’re pointing out matters, either. Like I said, no matter who’s right or wrong, no one here is changing anything here with that info. But you yourself are clearly a hypocrite.
Lmfao. Here you go dude, this just showed up in my feed. Have fun, or something. Lmfao. https://lemmy.world/post/38135575
I’m sure McDs and Coke could push out terrible AI ads for the next decade and it wouldn’t dampen their sales long term. An initial slump until everyone got over it, maybe. They’re global brands that have gotten too damn big to fail.
