I got so bored with that movie, but if you like special effects and violence and gore, it's never a dull moment.

It was pretty much completely missing any real emotions at all.

I wouldn't fight a woman just because she wants it. I would feel horrible beating her up.

You have to understand that just because someone wants something, it doesn't mean they are thinking straight. You shouldn't take advantage of that.

Ah ok. Yeah I guess they don't make it a priority for some reason.

The word consumer is so demeaning... But yes.

Humans are actually the only real producers in the world if you think about it. Everything around you is built by other humans.

We rarely think about that.

It's great how people are gathering and having discussions under heavily censored platforms owned by billionaries, just amazing.

It's more like they don't make fun games.

It's a failure of leadership, as usual.

Yeah because they screen people, not just let anyone come in.

I'm sad I missed the days of girls wearing no bras. Must have been nice.

Not to me, it just sounds normal. The reason people feel apathy is because there is a difference between expectation and reality that is very big for them.

It's the thought of "I need the world to be different for me to feel good" that is causing the apathy. You can change the thoughts on this and feel much, much better by being very grateful for having so much choice as a human being to find things you enjoy.

It's always been wars, always been slavery, always been sickness.

If anything, we have it much better than before. How do you think it was growing up during the world wars?

 

It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

Alien Romulus (lemmy.today)

I just watched alien romulus and I thought it was really frustrating. What happened to the lethal face huggers and the older, experienced crew of spaceships that got paid like shit by the company?

Now they are hitting face huggers left and right with sticks, and people just get up after having one over their face.

I didn't feel like I cared about the characters. They were actually quite unlikeable. I really miss Ripley. She had enormous amount of character, strength and intelligence. What did we get in this movie? They are all super generic.

Just disappointed. How about you guys?

 

I guess it's just a matter of time before you subscribe to games, and you lose access when you stop paying.

 

This is not revolutionary but it saves some keystrokes when wanting to limit results to certain sites.

Personally I don't really limit anything with Kagi. It's usually just finding what I want without having to do anything.

 

I wish I was a billion dollar company who gets away with stuff like this. Just generally break people's systems, add spyware, lie to users, treat them like shit.

All while making even more money and my stocks keep on going up, because AI, Ai, Ai...

 

The bike knows my height and weight and that's about it. From that it can calculate how my body burns calories?

Every body is very different, so I don't see how any calculation can be accurate.

 

I can't express how much I love hetzner doing this. There is a huge market for people who just need some instances and reliable/cheap object storage to run their apps.

 

If you have money, you can pay the bail and get released, while poor people can't.

I don't see why people with money should get benefits in the legal system?

 

Similar to America, Europe is also artificially trying to make consumers choose native cars, by making Chinese ones more expensive.

Not long to go now :) Frostpunk 1 was one of my all time favorite games and I think everyone should check out the sequel. It's been getting stellar reviews.

 

My favorite quote:

While employees in the office might kill time messaging friends or flipping through TikTok, remote workers take advantage of being far from the watchful gaze of bosses to chip away at personal to-do lists or to goof off.

Nearly half of remote workers multitask on work calls or complete household chores like unloading the dishwasher or doing a load of laundry, according to the SurveyMonkey poll of 3,117 full-time workers in the U.S.

Oh noes, people actually doing things that are useful for their families instead of even more computer time.

It's insane that this is even considered strange or surprising. When I work from home, I take longer lunch breaks and I often stop working earlier, but I'm still three times as productive compared to sitting in an office.

At home, I actually get focused time to do something and think. At the office, this is extreamly difficult with all the distractions and noise constantly interrupting my train of thought.
