Well, you’re certainly entitled to your (wrong) opinion!

Lol it’s not for everyone, especially if you started out with goldeneye. A lot of people I play with don’t have the same appreciation for it, and that’s okay.

And yeah, it’s so cheesy, it makes people spontaneously develop lactose intolerance.

But much like the movie Evolution, I don’t love it because it’s groundbreaking and iconic to its genre. It’s fun for me.

Why not just tattoo a number on their arm?

I’m sure there’s no possibility that subdermal trackers would ever be used in shitty ways.

And the Dr doesn’t have a gun pointed at him OR a boot on his neck for watching what’s going on interfering.

The “I’m doing the thing you’re doing but throwing it back at you” and “thanks or whatever” definitely is.

They’re being helpful and assuming you may genuinely not know the word, and are giving you the correct version for the context.

Getting defensive isn’t necessary.

Well as long as no one tries to convince me there are more than four lights…

should be impeached

Impeached and then executed for treason.

This movie was my jam back in the day.

I don’t care what critics or even fellow nerds say, it’s fantastic and if they want to fight about it they can meet me on Bob and settle this with heavy plastic swords like Gilgamesh intended.

Considering the channel owner is heavily left leaning, I don’t think it was them but they may be getting extra cautious about what speech they allow, given the current regime.

I’ll be honest, they fucked this game over hard in my opinion.

It really does feel like they separated everyone into teams, and none of the teams spoke to each other once. They all just delivered their chunk of the game without connecting pieces together.

Base building was a nightmare, and that’s the primary reason I downloaded it in the first place.

Then I finished the main quest and spoilers ahead for anyone who cares

Kind of killed literally every desire I had to play the game. Especially when they patched the easily accessed chests that at least gave me a shortcut to some things.

I made some comments on YouTube over the last week about LAPD and Israel, and all of them have been deleted without notice. Not even a warning of “hey you aren’t allowed to talk about that” or “you violated a mysterious rule sometime”

It’s definitely because of his work in The Fifth Element.

I mean, the rest of his extensive filmography is nice I guess, but Fifth Element was his Magnum Opus.

Nobody wears tilted hair like Sir Gary Oldman.

There’s a spot in Ohio that has like 20 lanes, and an overpass over itself so that people in the far left lanes don’t miss an exit. It basically just shifts two left lanes 6 lanes to the right by picking them up, shoving all the others over, and dropping it back down.

The first time I noticed it I thought for sure I was mistaken.

Surely another lane might solve the congestion issues making that necessary?

It’s weird that a guntuber is where I saw this posted first… Granted he’s very clearly left if you watch some of his videos.

And he just posted a data security video the other day about how DOGE and Palantir are working together.

then why is it so popular there

Because like many countries whose inhabitants come from a variety of places, you’ve got lots of people interested in their “heritage”

Since most people in the US can’t say their family has been here longer than a couple hundred years, and depending on the area no more than 100 or so, a lot of people wish to know “where they came from” so to speak. DNA testing is just easier than tracing a family tree.

I happen to be lucky enough to have a family member obsessed with genealogy, who traced down the last 1,000 or so years depending on which parts of the family and what areas they’re from, so I don’t need genetic testing to know 99% of my family is white as fuck with a couple POC from different continents and a native back in the 1700s. I don’t feel any particular draw to any culture, nor do I feel like donning traditional garb or participating in holidays, ceremonies, rituals, or customs. Some people do.

I totally get it if it’s not your thing, especially since that kind of mentality of “ooh let’s find out where our families came from” isn’t present in most other places in the world, and definitely not to the same degree even in other colonial areas. Personally I think it’s part of that whole “melting pot” ideology, but I’m just some rando on the internet.

Honestly even without my relative tracing the family tree, I would never have paid to give my DNA to a company for results with questionable accuracy. Shits weird, yo.

… So you’re saying there’s a chance?

I need an option to automatically up vote anything I comment on, I’m terrible at voting, but at the same time I know several servers and apps don’t even have votes…

Heck add an up vote to anything I open the comments section of, too.

Phrasing like that reminds me of all the “this is the commu-social-marxism the libs want” and it’s just a picture of current capitalism.

That’s the point.

Set the bar low, but just high enough that tons of people still trip over it.

Sit back and enjoy the comment wars.

The people who are confident but wrong are too proud to admit they were wrong even if they realize it, and comment angrily.

The people who are right and know why, comment for corrections and some to show off how S-M-R-T they are.

The people who are wrong but willing to accept that just have their realization and probably don’t think about it again. So do the people who don’t know and/or care.

But those first two groups will keep the post going in both shares and comments, because “look at all these wrong people”

It’s all designed to boost engagement.
