@Ancap_NI The only time I "do politics" is on this website where it doesn't fucking matter as most of my friends don't come here or only use this place for smut.
When it comes to my friends, they know my views do not 100% align with theirs and we can look past that to keep our friendships.
@Creetosis22 Shows how their mindset really is. Reviewers can't really lose. If a movie succeeds, reviewers win from being able to talk about a good movie. If a movie flops, reviewers win even more as they can bash a bad film and get even more attention as people love a good dumpster fire.
@ShitpostRock Just the same, only if you ignore the fact that the mafias don't kill randomly, that they don't steal from local businesses to the point where they are forced to close down or go elsewhere, or that they don't go running about claiming how tough they are.
Yep, just the same...
@kabrutusdeid Welp, I should be expecting an email any day now, lol. Haven't touched my PS4 in over 4 years now, and all the digital games I have/had on it is shit I do not care about anymore or bought elsewhere for cheaper.
@SpoonieSexer Are all tenants this bad? No. These ones were because all of them felt entitled and thought they could do whatever they wanted and expected.
And yes, all 5 of them were on section 8. Their actual rent was maybe $100 a month.
@SpoonieSexer These kind of people don't understand that being a landlord IS a full time job. Hell, I worked for a landlord that owned about 5 properties and at least one of their tenants complained every day to fix one thing or another, most from something they broke. I quit after a week.
@OxAbbe@TheStarwald I pretty much turned away from the show right after this scene as it told me all I was going to expect.
Turns out, I was right on my expectations.
@Creetosis22 Yeah, this argument has never worked on me because I was outright miserable while I was younger, and most media and games were my only escape from my garbage life. I finally got away from that life thankfully, and oh look the old stuff is still better than today's slop!
@HunterrPercival@OmarManuRod So did I, but it was well before this DEI and woke bullshit. Instead I got to watch the system get worse through the "no child left behind" bullshit.
@HunterrPercival@OmarManuRod Then you had a shit teacher. I had to go through sex ed class three different times and all three different teachers made sure all of the students understood how both the male and female body worked when it came to reproduction.
Things only rot if you do not take care of them.
I've seen VCRs, DVD players, and even old gaming systems work like they are new all because people took care of them.
If something you owned rotted away, that says a lot more about you than it does about the item that rotted.
Before streaming, I was a big DVD collector. I bought nearly a thousand movies. I thought I was building a library. And I will tell you a secret:
DVDs rot.
The glue that holds the layers together can become opaque so the laser doesnβt read the disc properly or it can simply degrade so the disc falls apart or it can warp or expand so the disc wonβt spin properly in the drive.
So, in addition to needing to keep antique hardware with delicate moving parts in working order to play these games or watch these movies, the media itself is degrading.
Yeah, your purchased digital movie might get deleted from the network over rights issues at some point in the future or the service that provides it might shut down. But if you buy a BluRay and put it on a shelf for five years and then decide to watch it, there is a decent chance it wonβt work.
I love a beautiful Criterion movie box set or a game with cool box art and a manual as much as the next guy, but people overly romanticize physical media. The universe is governed by entropy and everything is falling apart.
Hey @Twitter, stop with the account verification bullshit! I've owned this account for several years now, the next time you ask for verification I am human, I'm gone. There is maybe 5 accounts I really even care on watching regularly here, and I already have them bookmarked.
@ShayUnleashed This is why you wear a holster that has a strap that you have to remove before you can pull it out. It stops from someone else easily taking the gun out of the holster.
@Loleczeq12 I don't blame you. I was forced this morning to prove I was human. I've been on this site for several years for drying out loud. Thankfully it let me refuse on taking the selfie otherwise I would have dropped this site like a bad habit.
@RepYassAnsari Birthright citizenship actually means if your parents are citizens, either from their parents being citizens or by naturalization, your children also become citizens. The SCOTUS simply got it wrong. Besides, just because your kid is an American doesn't make the parents American.
@Creetosis22 I think it is now obvious that the lead actress said all that crap to give people like Perturbed Pedro an excuse to help defend this terrible movie. Sadly, we already saw through it and already pointed it out it was dumb of her to say that crap along with everything else.
