seems like a lot of astroturfing on lemmy lately

love driving thru these and seeing the old signs. hate the fuckin 25mph speed traps

awaiting discogs for books

yeah, i torrented the first few seasons and subscribed myself for season 4.

making quality fucking television is how you make money, not by trying and failing to stop piracy.

i hate that we all got so frightened about math. it’s genuinely fun to learn how it works when you’re not being forced to in a school setting, which was just a fucking nightmare for no reason. i had this former navy DI lady teacher in gifted kid algebra [so already a year ahead] yell at me for asking questions; she wasn’t going to ‘hold my hand’ thru the homework, which was quite literally her fucking job

i sort of want to signup just to see if they’ll let me in, i accumulated a lot of karma due to loneliness

but this inevitably opens things up to sponsored posts right? having this sect of posters means they have an audience

that’s way scarier wtf. at least there weren’t health / background / etc checks to get a bow and arrow

does it matter? can’t people do anything for the love of the game anymore?

i’m seeing oppenheimer in a week; i’m beyond excited because of the hype and loving historical drama but i cannot stand chris nolan. i watched the prestige recently and they made the electricity sounds 1000x louder than the dialog [and cut the movie intentionally to make it a pain in the ass to follow instead of just telling the story straight, because that was the thing to do in 2010]

american headline: 12 states vote to re-legalize indentured servitude in order to pay off medical debt

dutch headline:

i don’t know how to explain this but — i fucking hate modern car … repair culture. that car looks 100% driveable and functional fish aside. but instead that’s like thousands in repairs because the boutique part specifically for the 2012 line is rare and etc etc

like if your phone got dented a bit you’d go on with your life

but suddenly with this it’s a huge fucking thing with companies and paperwork and money

sex is nice but have you tried making fake noises with your throat and lungs just to utter it to another person to give you meaningless muscle contractions??

i wish apple could regulate this tighter to demolish the hundreds of shitty companies and practices that evolved post-iphone. notification ads, this garbage, any sort of app tracking, shitty subscriptions, shitty IAPs, etc etc etc

i have not had a single individual experience in my life

jail would be pretty chill if they let you have a phone, i think

oh pls

i figure the eventuality of most people not dying alone will induce some sort of serendipity

i’m 26 but i simply choose to not care anymore

it works 83% of the time

what do you mean trying to justify? discussion of shitty anti consumer tactics in digital media is perfectly valid

i knew of this but it’s insane every time. is that a golf course?

the netflix thing was the most idiotic, obnoxious bullshit i’ve ever seen – really acting like using a website somewhere else was something THEY got to gatekeep and charge for. it’s not like they had to mail DVDs somewhere else, like it was a physical cost.

i feel so dirty going on reddit. it’s like going to mcdonalds
