We have a billion FPS to games but there’s been little in this genre and Pokemon sells on nostalgia instead of quality. If it was a new IP today, it would flop. I’ve been such of Nintendo gaslighting everyone into thinking they invented any of it.

I could understand an 8 year old. But 18!

I’ve done that once. Was playing as Bae’zel and Shadowheart was being racists, so she got what she got. An in person meeting with Lady Shar.

Well, maybe. Or they’d have the most developed 42 pack abs you’ve ever seen.

I mean, it would increase sales. But that’s because light saber. When I was a kid I would have pissed off so many women, because dumb kid + ‘lightsaber’ = pissed off adults

When I was like 13, 14 when my parents were really pushing me to get a job, I already didn’t want to work. Decades later, I still don’t want to work, and I like what I do. There’s a reason I play the lotto, it’s the only way I’m getting out of this shit-cycle. I’d like to spend more time hanging out with my nieces and nephews, who are growing up so fast. My grandparents only have a few years left at best, I’ve already missed out on spending the best years I could with them. Saw my dad last year, probably the first in nearly a decade in of itself. I want to spend time just sitting at a beach watching the waves come in. Or seeing a mountain for the first time.

I don’t want to work. I’ve never wanted to work. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t do nothing, I don’t want to be lazy. Like, my ideal “job” is working in engineering on the Enterprise with Geordi. But that can’t happen. So really I just want enough money so if I do work, I have enough money to tell upper management their plans “aka shit they saw on LinkedIn” is fucking stupid. What you going to do fire me, I’d be rich, that’s not a threat! Eat shit you overpaid worthless peices of shit… (I might have some things to work on…,)

They gonna be real angry when they get to Leviticus and find out what foods they can’t eat…

Lol, jk they’ll skip the inconvenient sections.

There’s another thing I don’t see people talking about. In the YouTube app itself, they have hovering “Products” link, that covers a portion of a video (might just be shorts) and there doesn’t appear to be any way to remove it. I currently have YouTube Premium and it shows up.

Ye

Today I learned he actually legally changed his name to “Ye”. Fucking pretentious and stupid.

If you’re changing out the product with something different, then swapping out an insert really isn’t a big task.

It’s just a name. Think folk lore, most can’t use them and those that could probably looked like they had infinite power.

Glad I read the article. I hope that story spreads! Fuck AI.

1 bedroom has a TV. Living room has at TV. Was going to put one in the guest room, but I’m not buying a smart TV.

You’re still paying for the components, so an out-of-box dumb TV would be cheaper (we saw this when smart TV’s first launched, they were ~$30-40 more then the dumb versions). You still are at the mercy of whatever board/OS gets installed. And Microsoft is constantly trying to force users to make an online account to use the PC, it’s only a matter of time before TV makers require WIFI to do initial setup. Plus there’s ways to still get online, like if they partner with Xfinity who use customer routers (the ones that get rented) for others to use… stuff like that would eb all to easy to do. Or heck, partner with Amazon. They deliver everywhere, so the trucks are driving around, there’s ways they could auto join you to a network.

The “just don’t” doesn’t send a message other than “we need to try harder because we need to steal that data”. Stop buying TVs is the only message that might work.

Seven Pounds

Watching how a single person, a single life, could positively impact the lives of so many people got me to be a registered organ donor.

Oh! That’s Africa!

Well it was nice knowing the crew… If they’re running windows they’re doomed.

So many good ones already listed I’ll add a unique one.

Street Fighter: The Movie

It was a game, based on the movie, based on the original games.

This was the best April fools prank I’ve seen today
