Not only that, but you’re often not getting the quality you’re paying for due to the limitations of streaming. So, I’m not going to pay $20+ a month for what equates to 720i with garbage audio. Absolutely not.

They did this to whatever hbo plan I was on a while back. It was 4k with atmos, and they switched it to 1080 with standard audio while expecting me to continue paying the same price. Canceled as soon as I received that email.

Canada should not only do that but do it in such a way that it would be time-consuming and costly to reconnect.

One of my favorite moments on reddit was spotting a bot that spouted unrelated nonsense. I checked the comment history and found users responding earnestly to the nonsense. While it was hilarious, it was also quite sad, the state of those people.

Thanks for sharing! Based of that one video, I like homie’s energy, I’ll check out some more of his channel.

Scrolling through that list, all i could think was how dare they call it “Chipotle Mexican Grill.”

I’m from the US. Some standouts where this occurred are battlefield, cod, counterstrike, and overwatch.

I don’t talk on mic, because as soon as I do, all the white folks, women included, start hurling racist shit in my direction. I’m definitely not interested in forming a community with that trash. Ultimately, though, I’m thankful that anonymity makes white folks comfortable enough to express their true selves. I’m never under any illusions that they can be trusted.

That’s fine if you like the appearance of “retro” appliances, but that is certainly not the only way to avoid smart devices. Most microwaves, toasters, etc sold are not smart devices.

“Why aren’t most people pieces of shit like us!?!”

Hell yeah, Ms. Showalter was the shit. It didn’t matter that you were 9, there were fitness standards to meet, and she’d be damned if any of us bastards were going to bring her numbers down. That was my first experience with an educator who pushed you when you didn’t believe you could do it and hyped you up when you finally did. She was so gruff, but we all loved her and swarm her at school events, even when she’d pretend she didn’t like all the love 😂.

Idk why in imagining them telling a version of the aristocrat’s and then saying, “So anyway, that’s my roommates.”

TELL ME ABOUT THE OVARIES! I MUST KNOW ABOUT THE OVARIES!

While I agree in principle with the lawsuit, it is interesting that this is the game that people are suing over. I heard the hype and downloaded the crew 2 and it was complete dogshit of a game. I don’t mean from the perspective of finish, just the that the game, as intended, sucked ass. This isn’t the only ubisoft game like this, I don’t know how they manage to generate so much hype and fanfare around these tuberculosis vomit games over and over again.

I can respect that, but also respect that people will find it empty and confusing, especially because it isn’t corporate, so there is no funnel to get the rolling. They have to be motivated enough to seek all of that information out and as much as people use social media, it isn’t that important to them.

I don’t use mastodon, but yes, people are use to social media doing everything for you. Youtube is probably the greatest example of a service that will spoonfeed you content with little to no input from the user. My understanding of mastodon is that you have to know what you’re looking for to find content.

Coked up on ketamine…🤔

I agree. I only have shallow knowledge of 40k, but the exploration of the history around the universe was very fascinating. I also think it’s interesting that this issue seems to occur with satire, particularly when involving fascism. It brings to mind starship troopers and the more recent helldivers, how so many miss the point. I can’t help but feel the glorification of the military and military service in many of today’s societies lends itself to this problem. The military is inherently authoritarian, against diversity (including diversity of thought), and intentionally dehumanizes “the enemy” (turns out, it isn’t easy to kill people). Couple this with an image of masculinity that centers around adversity at best, and violence at worst along with so many men who feel they have missed opportunities to meet this standard and you have a recipe for fascists. How do we address this within our society? I don’t have the answers, but we should all be thinking about it.

What hairnet to this young man is unfortunate, and I know the mother is grieving, but the chatbots did not kill her son. Her negligence around the firearm is more to blame, honestly. Regardless, he was unwell, and this was likely going to surface in one way or another. With more time for therapy and no access to a firearm, he may have been here with us today. I do agree, though, that sexual/romantic chatbots are not for minors. They are for adult weirdos.

I won’t play forza online anymore, rammers just ruin the entire experience. I understand incidental collisions, but that intential shit just isn’t fun. They really need to implement a system that can track intentional ramming and match those people with each other so they are stuck in a rammer hell, and the rest of us can just enjoy the game. Ideally, the system wouldn’t be visible and account bound so it will follow you in the sequels. This way way the people who get joy out of ruining things for others are only ruining things for other assholes.
