I mean, “I don’t want to” is a valid response but it says something about the person and the culture they are raised in. Maybe they simply believe too strongly that it is unethical to say whatever they are asked to, or maybe… Either way, it’s made clear that they can’t or won’t criticize the thing they are asked to. Some things are not worthy of criticism, but most things can be. Especially leaders.
I don’t think so. It requires at least some inherent knowledge of tape decks, that they have “head” readers and that those need cleaning.
This has actually been a top result when searching clippy on Google since before the AI debacle
Super fun, pardner. That horse is looking a little sparse, though. Maybe you could draw that horse winning the lottery and subsequently losing most of that money to gambling debts?
I think top comment is a reference of some kind.
I heard something similar; the studio didn’t think the movie would be popular if they used too many computer terms so they made them change the function to “battery”. Initially the reason Neo has powers is because his node happens to have admin access.
My boss’s favorite saying is to just make logical decisions.
I can’t take him/her seriously because he/she is a Mormon and that’s the least logical decision you can make.
The ramblings of an absolute madman. This is what they’ve been demanding your respect for.
Easy! You just ignore one of the above responsibilities, bing bang boom!
Jokes aside, it’s just like any other hobby. If you enjoy it enough, you make time for it. Or in some cases, put it on in the background while doing something else, though that depends what kind of watcher you are.
Either way, ITT: it’s valid to have hobbies other than media consumption
I watched two episodes of LOST and then I LOST interest. That said, from everything I hear, it kind of seems like the appeal would have been to be part of the speculation crowd.
That aside, I’m not sorry I missed it.
To summarize: the video opens on a series of games, each one progressively older, overlaid with a review of that game from the time it came out praising it as the best graphical fidelity of its time. Basically, they’re saying “Yes, graphics got better, but we always seem to conclude that they’re the best they will ever be”
I’ll be honest, for a minute I thought it was not a flaw but referring to “Monday Me, on Monday” which is a concept I can relate to
I don’t think it’s just a feeling of futility - it’s true phones can be distracting and offer more potential entertainment, and it’s true learning can sometimes be a slog. At the same time, learning can be fun and engaging, and phones can offer access to a wealth of information (of highly varying quality, admittedly).
Concentrating too hard on mere academic success as gauged by metrics like school grades is undoubtedly discouraging for a student who only goes to school if they are told they must.
I saw an interesting post somewhere recently where they argued that Sniper Elite was not anti Nazi because it specifically promotes stealth and non lethal methods (against Nazis). Couldn’t say much for sure myself; I tried playing 4 a little but it didn’t grab me at the time.
Three hours a day, gods above. I admire your commitment
I was a little drunk and I think bougie was probably not the right word choice. The sentiment was more meant to be something along the lines of exclusive or supercilious. Upon reflection I may just not be in on the joke.
Sometimes I think this community and instance might have some interesting views I can maybe learn from and about and sometimes, it’s just… I don’t know, like some kind of bougie fucking club for the self described intelligentsia
Thanks, Self_Hating_Moid
I see what you’re getting at and I agree, but on the other hand I don’t think hating trans people is a prerequisite to being conservative. You can be socially somewhat liberal and economically conservative. Or maybe you’re fine with identity politics but hate immigrants. Or you can merely be classist. There’s a whole spectrum of hate!
Well, see, there you’ve provided context. Perhaps it would be more obvious to an active participant in the instance but as a mere All scroller, context is often lost.
Like, I know that there was some kind of spat between the blahaj instance and this one, but to be honest I’m mostly lost to the specifics aside from the fact that two instances supporting trans rights (as far as I know) had a political difference.
Methinks this evidence may not be so compelling as the many posts explicitly bashing liberals without context, see this post.
You wake up back in the real world. What you once thought to be correct, you now know to be right - but the world you now inhabit can not fathom such a reality. Now unsure if it was ever real, you float through life getting on arguments on the Internet, slowly unraveling as you speak of a world that could not possibly exist - except, in The Twilight Zone.
