Video game, GTA IV. Highly recommend, it’s still solid.

What’s really cool is when people care for each other they don’t mind talking about each other’s hobbies.

You missed the part where the White House official posted an AI pic with the king quote and his stupid face wearing a crown

Yup this is exactly the argument I bring when it comes to this. People act like female leads just suddenly started to exist, and usually get irritated if I state those particular movies suck. A character being female or gay should not be the entirety of that characters use in the movie. If the story is done we’ll and they happen to be female, gay, trans, whatever, and those things compliment and show a strength they wouldn’t have otherwise and assist them in the story: Fucking fantastic. But that’s not what we are getting majority of the time. We get ‘hey this character is female therefore this movie is amazing’. Nah.

Examples of well written female leads off the top of my head:

The Hunt (2020): I actually reference this one specifically because it destroys the trope of ‘females being weak and needing rescue’. This chick flips the whole movie on its head.

Kate (2021): Another action film (sorry) but more of the same. Well written gritty main character who happens to be female.

Everything, everywhere, All at Once: Pretty much everyone knows this movie at this point. I wanted to include this one specifically because it’s an example of being well written characters and story where being female is a strength and deepens the story and characters. The mother / daughter connection and the turmoil of growing children, etc makes the movie. Arguably it would be worse if they tried to replace them with men and have the same impact.

I could keep going but by this point I’m sure I’m beating a dead horse.

Density of CO2 produced vs what trees capture is massively unequal. Yes trees can, but not on any tangible scale that would ever keep up with what we are doing to the planet.

95 percent of the folks I’ve known literally get them as a ‘oh my Amazon package is here’ device, not for security. Granted security is a bonus, but if you actually wanted security you’d get perimeter cams, not a doorbell with a very limited FoV.

That pic is great, haha. Woman looks so smug.

This is literally me this week. Came in Monday to folks having knee jerk panic reactions then are unreachable to properly diagnose or, heaven forbid, fix the issue. Was definitely important enough to wreck my Monday though.

I’ve known several Jeep owners over the last decade and those that weren’t buying it strictly for the ‘Jeep clout’ as an actual vehicle/daily driver had constant issues, while under warranty, and dealt with issues even trying to get said warranty work done. Like that wasn’t enough for me, on top of that I had a mechanic with his own shop that said he’d never touch another Jeep because of how horribly they are designed to work on. Anything from ease of access to work on the engine to bolts stripping out because they were overtorqued during assembly and made with shit metals that would sooner melt than come off in one piece. Now this? Yeah, hope they go bankrupt. This is just as bad as BMW and their ‘pay a subscription for seat warmers’ bullshit.

You’re basically making it sound like most of us are just fucked and shouldn’t try because the damage is done.

I mean, both would be great. No need for or reduced insurance, safer roads, and public transportation for the trains side. Would hopefully help transition and adoption over time.

Literally flushing money down the drain to feed ego. It’s honestly pathetic and disgusting.

This is literally what I’ve been doing, but there are people that are just overwriting shit.

And there it is. This is why Nvidia head met with Trump. Fuck this shit my god someone please tell me what the fuck I can do to stop this shit.

One week, in my own house. We were part of the ones that lost power during ‘snowmageddon’ in the south a couple years back. Thankfully due to some light prep I’d done during the initial COVID outbreak I had plenty of canned meals for the fam and a nice butane cooking stove. Hardest part was keeping the house warm but we basically had some candles and plenty of blankets. Honestly could have been really bad, but looking back it was a nice little respite.

If you don’t mind sharing, how difficult was/is the immigration process? Are there stipulations and things you have to pass?

Yes, competition is good, but these ball garglers only want to make competition illegal so they can capitalize on monopoly.

Man have you seen him speak? I don’t know what concoction of drugs he is on or if he’s just showing his age but he’s definitely not the rager he was 5 years ago. Seems tired and much less coherant. Makes me optimistic he might be in mental decline more than I theorized previously. But if we go by the ‘asshole’ rule he’ll outlive most of the Senate just out of stubbornness and hatred. We definitely need a quick solution.

Idiots misspelling lose as loose drives me up the wall. Even had someone defend themselves claiming it’s just the common spelling now and to accept it. There, their, and they’re get honorable mention. Nip it in the butt as opposed to correctly nipping it in the bud.

I cannot believe they bent on this at all. This isn’t the will of the people or a problem we asked to solve it is the asinine rantings of a fucking baby. Why the fuck am I stuck in this timeline holy shit.
