Nah, this is things like most Tarantino films, particularly Pulp Fiction, where it’s a good movie, but every 17 year old you meet who loves it only loves it because everyone else loves it.

That’s because the goal isn’t to sell you a car, it’s to saddle you with a $50K debt obligation they get to sell off.

Obviously Jississippi.

By the time I was old enough to really appreciate Dilbert, Scott Adam’s was far enough removed from the American office that it was no longer funny.

We can and will do so much worse.

Yes.

Better question, how much body hair is required before shampoo becomes the default for everywhere?

The left is exhausted. Democratic leadership is uninterested in fighting, and the electorate is angry, but has been angry for so long they’re disconnecting to stay sane.

I don’t know. It depends on how you classify informed. I’d bet they, on average, spend more time glued to a “news” source, so they’re being informed, 24/7, just not with truth.

Most people I talk to like this, in the analogy, used to be firefighters, but realized for every fire they put out, some literal idiot lights 3 more, and to them, they end up feeling like they’re the only one who cares. Pun intended, but they’re literally burnt out.

Not on any dating apps, but people I know who describe themselves as non-political are just so sick of it they can’t bear to talk about it anymore, which I totally get. Especially since any good discussion always ends up ruined by someone who’s very “political” but only gets their news from Facebook or something worse.

Chinese government controls Chinese companies. American companies control American government.

Guys, I’ve cracked it.

System clock in the top right corner.

I feel like accidentally commenting there is a Lemmy right of passage. It got me, and continues to almost get me. They generally have good discussion.

Wow, wow… He’s not taking their Healthcare away. He’s just making it prohibitively expensive.

It’s called Wild Cards.

I have always hated this line.

Yes, there is only success and failure, but “try” is the superposition that frames the attempt, demonstrating in this case how invested Luke is in the attempt. And more importantly, in many stories and real life, how many attempts will we make before giving up?

Framing it as only success and failure diminishes the determination needed to eventually succeed in the face of many failures. I get its a movie, and showing the try/fail cycle is boring and takes up too much screen time, but living by this principle in a vacuum is damaging.

“I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”

Charlie Kirk sat under a tent that said “Prove Me Wrong” and got shot dead with a bullet in the neck. So either he’s right and his death is a prudent deal, or he’s a dumbass. The whole situation is so riddled with irony it has to be a joke.

Not sure why we’re surprised. And even then, it took a while for the “good” OSes to get good. Windows 7 is remembered fondly because it ended well, not because it started well.
