Could you give more details about what you mean by "homemade internet"? The first thing I thought of was just a LAN or Intranet which I see many people have already suggested but I feel like that may not be what you're actually talking about

I honestly haven't seen a lot of his movies. He's doing an amazing job with Penguin so far though!

I watched all of them and it did get somewhat better here and there. The high points were just good enough that I still wanted to see what happened but there was just so much pointless junk that even the big cliffhanger ending didn't really thrill me... I'd honestly be fine if they just told me how the story ends in an email or something lol

I suspect I know the entire reason this "article" was written, and it's that the people who love every Disney property are still trying to make up literally any reason why Acolyte was cancelled other than the fact that it was just a jumbled mess of a show.

I love Star Wars, I watched every episode of The Acolyte. It was ok at best. It was somewhat enjoyable but had so many issues with the writing that I wasn't that surprised when it got cancelled.

 

They're also comparing the ratings of a single episode of Penguin to the entire first season of The Acolyte

That's always an option sure, but since EVERY company does this now it means we all just stop watching TV basically. Maybe that would be the best thing after all though lol

If you remove the 4th panel then this accurately describes call center customer service

You like it now, just wait though. In another year "YouTube Premium" will probably split further into basic and premium plus tiers. Basic will cost exactly the same except you now have to watch "limited" ads again, while Premium Plus will cost twice as much and be basically the same thing you're paying for now plus some new bullshit feature no one cares about.

This is what YouTube has become. It's what all the corporate services that like to make you think they care about you do. As long as we all keep shelling out more money for less services they will all just keep pumping us for every dollar they can possibly get.

It's an unethical strategy called a "loss leader" where these companies offer a service they actually lose money on for a limited time until they get you to the point that you take it for granted. Then they make that same price point terrible and jack up the price for the good service you've come to expect.

That's surprising... I would think he would be 100% behind another doddering old racist who doesn't understand how technology works lol

Way back in the 90s when I was a teenager I got home from school one day right around Christmas time and discovered my father had, for some reason, locked himself in the bathroom and refused to come out. He was in there for at least an hour and when he eventually did come out he went right back in again a few minutes later, and this happened several times.

After some convincing he finally admitted that he'd come home from work and consumed an entire carton of eggnog along with a whole jar of black olives over the course of about an hour and a half and had nearly shit his pants, just barely making it to the bathroom in time.

We never did discover what had compelled him to do such a thing

 

I just got permanently banned from a community for making a single harmless remark on a single post that was right there in the main feed. It's not a community I'm super active in so it's not like devastating, but it is annoying

If your precious little community is full of so many delicate sensitive people who can't even be reminded that another viewpoint even exists, then you should really protect them by defederating and having everyone join your private website

The mod has literally removed like 75% of the comments and banned everyone lol

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't have time to read every rule for every community that pops up when I'm in view all

 
 

It's a little blurry because this was taken from the car but I still thought it was worth sharing!

 
 

I also tried to make one with actress Lark Voorhies in it but Bing said that violated their content policy lol

 

Mashup of Smokey and the Bandit and Star Wars
