I wasn’t aware of all that. That’s really shitty and gross of him to defend Polinski and Weinstein. How tf was he not canceled during the “woke” cancel wave of the mid-2010s?

I don’t disagree, but I struggle to see Tarantino doing high sci-fi like that very well. He’s a master at creating engrossing, gripping dialogue scenes. But what do I know, maybe he’d have done a great job in the end 🤷‍♂️

Hey now, I enjoy many of Tarantino’s movies. But I wholeheartedly agree that he’d be an awful pick to write and/or direct a Star Trek movie.

Could always go the fake nail route. My SO has been doing that for a couple years. It’s way easier than painting and you can get all sorts of cool designs and patterns, especially for holiday themed ones (hers right now have glow in the dark ghosts and pumpkins on them).

Why wouldn’t they be? Is it illegal to record people without their permission in the EU or something? Clueless American here.

Not to defend the antagonistic guy above, but you’re either extremely unlucky or not being fully truthful. I’ve had nothing but Samsung flagships for over a decade and have had literally zero issues besides minor annoyances, especially with the Note line the last 5-6 years. iPhones aren’t built poorly, so I won’t rag on them. But to use your purely anecdotal evidence to declare Apple as offering a superior quality phone to all Android vendors, it feels dishonest as fuck.

Is there a specific reason you strictly need static ipv6?

but I hear that’s the culture of Americans being told what to believe and do based on their feeds.

Hate to break it to you, but this is becoming the norm globally as more and more people got addicted to smartphones and social media.

I’d agree the US peaked in the 90s. 2008 really fucked us for almost a decade, though. Economy had essentially recovered by 2014/2015sh until COVID. I’m almost 40, so most of my adult life has been plagued by crisis after crisis.

It’s pretty good compared to, say, 100 years ago. But is it better than, idk, 10 years ago? This is highly dependent where you live, of course. But, in the US, I can 100% say life was better a decade ago and people weren’t outright rejecting intellectualism en masse.

Exactly what I was thinking. I live in a smaller medium sized metro in the US Midwest and finding any restaurant where two of us can get a decent full meal with a cocktail/beer for each of us for under $40 is rare.

And anti vaxxers will make some bullshit claim, making idiots believe it, and it’ll only halfway eliminate HIV.

Agreed. FH4 and 5 are fun, but the monetization is obnoxious and it often felt clunky just to get into fun racing activities quickly.

Agreed. What a vague link to a vague community.

I truly don’t understand why anyone gave a fuck about Nintendo caring about Palworld.

Yeah, it was literally announced in February 2019. We’ve had to wait over 6 years for it.

And I used it since ~2007. Sure, I’ll concede that OC existed back then, but expectations/standards were far lower. Simply starting topics or a meme template that hadn’t been done before were fine, often times even hailed. Two broken arms, jollyrancher, coconut, whatever other gross ass viral thing weren’t even pictures/videos, they were comments and/or text posts. They became Reddit legends/mythos/lore, regardless.

Anyway, that type of OC isn’t going to invigorate the masses like it used to. Any of those stories nowadays would be met with heavy cynicism/skepticism (rightfully so, I might add). I guess my point is, Lemmy has only been somewhat known for a couple of years. It takes a lot of time to build momentum. Reddit continues to enshittify ever further, just like Digg did. Times are different now, there’s a fuckton of competition in this type of social media format. What will make it successful is hard to say for certainty. I think sticking to link aggregation and topical discussions is a good start.

Lemmy is a link aggregator. Reddit is as well. Sure, Reddit has started to generate a lot more OC over the last decade, but it took over a decade for that to pick up momentum and gain millions of active users. I don’t want a mindless cesspool of half-assed OC. I mostly just want an easy one-stop-shop for news, memes, and discussions.

That’s completely valid, I haven’t had issues on Linux myself with nvidia, but I know it’s definitely a thing for a lot of people.

Out of curiosity, why do you refuse to support Nvidia? AMD isn’t some saint, they’re a shitty corporation just like Nvidia. They got lucky when Jim Keller saved their asses with the Ryzen architecture in the mid-2010s. They haven’t really innovated a god damn thing since then and it shows.

Edit: I get it, I get it, Nvidia is a much shittier company and I agree. I was pretty drunk last night before bed, please pardon the shots fired
