I watched this and then House of the Dragon immediately after and wow. You really can tell that the latter is light years better quality. It’s a knockout. Everything is masterfully executed, makes sense, you root for characters, acting is very good. It’s joy to watch.

I wonder if we can get good sw content some time again since andor instead of media that feels like you have to clench your teeth to push through or a guilty pleasure b class show

And yet people routinely associate politeness with being ‘good’. Hell women are/were teached to be polite to be seen as good and pure.

Fuck politeness, world is a fucking brutal place and it is already hard to tell friends or foes apart much less if they smile as they stab you in the back. Tell me to my face what you think of me and I will do the same. This is simple and good method, 100% accuracy instead of some fucking games.

In my experience it is more probable for a genuinely good person to come off as rude. They usually don’t care about masks or appearances, they have their set of rules they stick to and nothing to hide. People who play appearance games are inherently lying since first meeting meanwhile if they are honest and straightforward I will respect them.

Politeness is like a smokescreen you have to really put some serious effort to tell what kind of mfer is on the other side. Many times a racist or the like and then you are surprised oh but they were looking so polite and pure.

Worst are fucking Christians jeez how many times those ‘good’ and ‘pure’ cunts turned out to be a total menace I cannot count. Full of love and all that bullshit at the same time

Colour me fucking skeptical if someone presents as pure and polite after the age of 17. At that age you have already seen enough life to know how it all works

I meant it’s better to have assholes who help you as friends than people whose only good quality is politeness. Excessively polite people are suspicious in my eyes as it is easy to hide your true self behind nice words

It was unique time and experience at its peak. People moved on largely and if something as big and addicting as Pokémon couldn’t permanently make it popular then nothing will

It will come back however in different form as the miniaturisation of VR headsets progresses and whenever it will be cool and comfortable to walk in one

Walking with eyes glued to phone gets old real quick and can fucking kill you hence no matter how good game is this formula is dead. Many Darwin awards were handed out. My friend received one and another got just a nomination

It’s kinda funny how they think this is what safety is about in AI while they are closed monolith aiming to monopolise the market and have unlimited power that could potentially reshape everything. Of course it’s just for PR but still an ounce of dark comedy.

They could one day rule the world in some AI techno-feudalism but at least the model is family friendly and politically correct.

This is the polar opposite to the rough, autistic but generally net positive niche internet communities. Am I gonna call you a retard, yes but I wish you best and will support you.

this fits my brain on the roads lately. It’s not only American thing to drive like absolutely crazy homicidal bullet

However actual buyers may not catch the layers of irony and dark humour

I love etymology honestly and how it is all connected. I am really curious about onomatopoeias.

For example is ‘hmmm’ used in many unrelated languages just because it has a soothing vibration? Why do we have same onomatopoeias in cultures that never met?

Is there a language that is closest to interpreting the brain signals if we consider onomatopoeias to be a part of the language?

Perhaps some primitive pre language consisting of grunts without words. Then the evolution comes into play and animal communication.

I yearn for a social media like Lemmy where such things are on the foreground instead of constant stream of shitposts, news comments and memes

I mean I can tailor it of course but then there is nothing left usually.

And don’t get me wrong I don’t think there is anything wrong with memes and shitposts and news angry commenting or that it is inferior and I am superior because I am not interested that much in it but just that it is everywhere and I feel like I am drowning in the sea of shit

I don’t consider myself better or ‘above it’ but there’s just too much of that stuff and not enough of the second. I don’t get how you can scroll news community constantly and make angry comments day by day for example. It’s extremely boring. Dystopia shitposts and general memeing quickly gets boring too.

It’s just that I think comments are super fun for discussion and when I see only these that hunt for gaining points (even here?!) while I have them turned off it’s just… ehh. I lose the will for interaction. I need some substance.

I tried to tailor Lemmy but it ends up kinda empty without all the meme and shitpost and politics which are not bad inherently but just too much is too much you know

I have everything from apple but I know that 8gb is basically planned obsolescence in disguise.

We pay serious extra cash for just a ‚notch’ more refined experience. However I had to try to buy every possible thing from apple at least once in my life to see if it is worth it and basically only M4 iPad Pro 13 is truly worth the money and irreplaceable for me.

Everything else is nice for someone who is super lazy like me but can be easily replaced with not much difference for cheaper shit

Fuck duolingo, if I ever see that bird again I am going to jail for animal abuse

Proper name for the torture of mathematics condensed into a single program.

Yes… nice to hear my neighbours enjoy that kind of economy. Hopefully at some point it will become possible here too instead of 2x price

I know it’s mostly better but it’s not feasible yet where I live. 1) more expensive… I mean I already typed all the things once

Wait tho why do I have a feeling like we are arguing even though we just repeat our own experiences? It’s all cool, some place electric cars are viable elsewhere they aren’t. I hope they will become feasible here where I live (middle eu)

Allright maybe they are cheaper than a year ago at least. Still very infeasible here however except for semi upper class countryside

Eee 40k euros? That’s what I am talking about I buy cars for 20k-25k€ maximum after conversion to local currency

You don’t even drive one so how can you have valuable opinion on this? I drive one and analyse which one is the most efficient purchase and you only deal in theoretical armchair expertise

Here in middle eu they are twice as expensive. Maybe it got a little better to like 1.75 now? Still I would have to be crazy to spend more than necessary on a car and watch it’s value plummet and repair cost suck my entertainment money. But also no way to charge them without living countryside or arrive comfortably at the far destination without long stops.

A car is a necessary tool to get from a to b. Whatever does its job the best at the moment. I despise car owners treating them as status symbols.
