Yeah except the damage is already done. The issue is every time he does this shit the countries that aren’t able to import to America go elsewhere and start up in those countries. If they already established why the fuck would they come back and risk the loss again off the tariff rug pull? It’s not only logical it’s a better business move to just stick where you are where the market is going to be stable. This is what happened to the soy farmers.

Ah yes, the age old practice or apologizing to one another on the Internet. Truly a trusted ritual here. /S

Bro I’m with you I’m not even autistic and this shit just seems emotionally exhausting.

I only knew snippets of this as well even years later so I appreciate the rundown. Thanks for typing it up!

Dude this is like my core ethos. It irritates the shit out of me. Like you said, just endless squandered potential for fucking what? So dumb. Not to mention all the energy waste throwing around all that data and endlessly recording and storing it.

I bought a $500 dollar video security system and they pulled this shit on me. Not Google, but Arlo. Not even a ‘hey we will just disable some of the cloud benefits’ just straight up disabled my shit and gave me a shitty ‘heres 10 percent off a new system!’ email. I don’t buy into smart always connected tech much as is, but that was def a reason for me to not buy anything further.

Yeah I’m in agreement here as well. As someone going in blind though you tend to pass judgement based on what you first see. In the age of streaming most people are going to start on S01E01. I definitely get your point.

God so accurate on Schitt’s. A friend recommended that show and when me and the wife got past epi 1 we were like ‘wow this is hot garbage’. Yeah no, just setting up and showing you how horrible they were initially which I think makes their transformations that much more impactful later in the show.

The new age Evil Dead movies are some of my favorites. Definitely underappreciated I feel like.

If you’re at all interested in Factory type games I highly recommend Dyson Sphere Project. You start planetside but building / flying around your Dyson Sphere as it’s being constructed is amazing. Also a mention of No Man’s Sky wouldn’t be bad. They’re still releasing content for it, which is crazy at this point.

Legitimately one of my faves. Always gets me.

For the gamers here using Linux: what about Discord? One of my only social outlets currently is unfortunately through Discord with some friends. There any issues with drivers for headsets and/or Discord having issues?

Edit: Thanks for the responses everyone!!

Sounds good, thanks!

This movie was definitely one of those ‘wtf this has no right being this good’ type movies. I actually enjoyed the hell out of it. Now I feel like I need to go watch it again. Thanks for reminding me that it exists!

This is interesting because I bought the book. I wasn’t aware there was a manga. Now I’m wondering if the manga or the book came first.

I have a solid question: if I try to move to Proton how the hell do I change over all my emails that are attached to all my accounts? I’m assuming this means going to every single one and updating the account to reflect the new email? There aren’t any tools or anything that would assist with that? I figure I’d at least check before going through that hell.

Best horror: Dead Space Best story: Horizon Zero Dawn Best Multiplayer with Friends: Halo 3 Best Action: DOOM 2016

Honestly I think why HZD sticks with me is because I work in tech and see how easily plausible that scenario is.

Amazon and LinkedIn. So annoying.

Critically, criminally underpaid. Had a good friend that did it for over 8 years. Never got a raise, continually dealt with the worst kids and rehabilitated them. Fucking saints in a largely thankless field.

Seeing how much of an egomaniac the dude is, and straight up like psycho levels of self absorbed, this rings true to me as well. When I saw the poster in theaters I was beside myself as I LOVED Legacy, but the second In started to see the posters with Leto I noped the fuck out. I still had lingering hope, but the lashback from opening week makes it apparent I should wait to stream it.
