- Comment on Disney Said to be Considering a Surprising Replacement for Bob Iger: EA CEO Andrew Wilson - IGN 2 days ago:
Man it’s weird how things happen. I was literally just listening to Bo Burnhams “funny feeling” this morning and he has a line about “Robert (Bob) Igers face” and I thought hmm I actually don’t get that, I don’t know who he is. Then I open Lemmy and see this lol
- Comment on THE HECK? Documents show FEMA official ordered workers to ignore houses with Trump signs 1 week ago:
… because right wing people have been threatening FEMA officials because of bullshit lies about immigrants taking enough FEMA money stopping FEMA from helping “real Americans” and helping immigrants “invade.” This what happens when disinformation goes too far…

“FEMA made operational changes to keep personnel safe “out of an abundance of caution,” agency Administrator Deanne Criswell said at a briefing Tuesday.”
- Comment on Trump’s likely FCC chair wrote Project 2025 chapter on how he’d run the agency 1 week ago:
Looks like I’ll be cancelling my already stupidly expensive Internet service… I hate these fucking people…
Back to the stone age with all of their fucked up “policies.”
- Comment on 4 or more hours of daily screen time linked to more anxiety and depression in teens, data shows 2 weeks ago:
If we are no longer able to, how healthy do you think our society will be?
Tech CEOs: Who the fuck cares? I got my ad revenue, I couldn’t care less about society.
- Comment on 4 or more hours of daily screen time linked to more anxiety and depression in teens, data shows 2 weeks ago:
I’d be curious to know the relation between that and simply watching the news. Maybe it’s not social media, or screen time, but simply being aware of the state of everything that is linked to anxiety and depression.

Maybe ssj14 Goku can stop that bullet, but no normal person can lol
- Comment on Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically? 2 weeks ago:
The east end actually is considered rural, at least according to ups/postal deliveries lol
- Comment on Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, people from cities moving to rural towns does impact housing prices which should be a net benefit for the town as it bring in income from outside. It could be a negative when the volume of outsiders is high enough to displace long term residents, but in a vacuum people moving into an area that isn’t overpopulated already should be a good thing.
It’s absolutely a negative for those in the area. I’m literally priced out of the entirety of long Island now. There is literally nowhere I can afford that isn’t in an uninsurable flood zone and I’m too “worthless” to move. Anywhere with work for someone like me is just a shithole city so I just move from renting to renting in a worse environment. :/
- Comment on Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically? 2 weeks ago:
I get roasted for this every time I mention it because I think people on sites like this generally fit in this category and feel personally attacked, but I honestly believe a large part of it is from WFH becoming more widespread during COVID. People were able to leave the large cities where their jobs were all located and could move wherever they wanted to so that competition for housing drives prices way way up. The few friends I do have all work in software development and all moved during COVID away from their offices and into houses. They all had a similar story “the realtor told me any house that’s on the market for more than 5 days has a major issue, stay away from those.”
Tie that into the expansion of investment companies buying houses with the intent of renting them forever and the NIMBYism that keeps new construction from being made because “My PrOpErTy VaLuE!” and it’s just a recipe for disaster…
I hate that I’m going to be stuck renting someone’s garage or basement and paying their mortgage in rent prices for the rest of my life…

Ahh negativity bias, my other middle name.
:P
- Comment on Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare) 3 weeks ago:
There is no amount that could answer that because the Ad profit is on top of the already existing product. It would always be viewed as a “loss.”
Not that they’re losing on the cost of operations and development of the OS, but because the ad revenue is in addition to the product…
Greed fucking greed fucking greed. Greed turtles all the way down…

I was like 14-15 so I guess it wouldn’t have been toooo bad, but yeah they weren’t all that “raunchy” lol

Check the urban dictionary link that Kokolores posted, that’s your answer! :D
- Comment on Interview 3 weeks ago:
I was punished for an entire summer and made to sit at the kitchen table and read every day so I read through my mom’s anne rice vampire books (could never get through memnock the devil though it was so boring) so needless to say this was extra funny to me!
Thanks for the laugh and the reminder of that summer! Remember to smash that like button and subscribe!

That is true, I was just trying to think of some possible reason to want to be hidden. I didn’t even realize they were filming people until the OP replied to me. That made it way worse :/
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
What evidence do we have that this is real life???
Donald Trump could very well win. That’s proof this is reality, because any movie maker worth their weight in salt would never have such a cartoonishly horrible person be a viable candidate in a realistic setting lol
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Ohhhh that’s even darker than I dared to guess… Voter intimidation? They’re probably looking for “illegal voting” and know their actions are frowned upon by most so they dont want people to recognize them in town.
Kinda really stupid because you immediately draw attention to yourself dressed like that… But then again the type of person who falls for the Trump election lie doesn’t exactly have logic listed among their strengths…
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’m thinking they might be ghosts! It’s close to Halloween and they sometimes creep out of the graveyards to illegally vote and steal our democracy!!!
Lol seriously though, if I had to guess it’s just people wearing ghost costumes for Halloween even though it’s slightly early.

No, one! Lol

“God created you…”
Ughhh… Find comfort in religion, fine, but let’s not go push your idea of creation and the ramifications of such on others tyvm…
- Comment on Should devs tell people about launch bugs in advance? “It’s an interesting problem” says Starfield and Skyrim designer 4 weeks ago:
“On the one hand we only care about your money, but on the other hand we only care about your money. It’s tough.”
- Comment on How you know the Democrats think Trump is going to win 5 weeks ago:
I mean other than being an asshole, he isn’t wrong. We’re going to lose because of the electoral college (but mostly because of Citizens United and propaganda…)

BlizzardMicrosuck: “Don’t you all have bank accounts?” - Comment on Google looks to be fully shutting down unsupported extensions and ad blockers in Chrome, such as uBlock Origin – which might push some folks to switch to Firefox 1 month ago:
Wasn’t there just an article about how Mozilla is claiming ublock origin shouldn’t be supported anymore and another one claiming they’re starting a focus on ads?
I feel like we’re entering a really shitty time for the Internet… Tie that in with Microsucks Recall feature and computing in general is going to suck…
I don’t want to go touch grass!!
- Comment on 7 years ago there were no billionaires worth more than $100 billion - today there are 18! 1 month ago:
To take that farther I wonder how many employees they have. How close is the ratio of workers to their life value obtained by the owner.
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
I’m not a purist lol I enjoyed the hell out of FF16. I think 8 and 13 were the only ones I didn’t really care for
- Comment on This man is a parody of himself 1 month ago:
I’ve been learning a lot of things about him on Lemmy recently that seem to be confirming a suspicion I had when watching a star talk episode.
He had a guest that was just this tiny guy sitting close enough that Tyson was able to touch him, and boy did he do a lot of touching… Felt really odd and I always wondered if he was actually not so cool and yet another one of “those guys.”
- Comment on 7 years ago there were no billionaires worth more than $100 billion - today there are 18! 1 month ago:
There was an article celebrating the fact that we’re on our way to having the first trillionare.
I wanted to die. It’s so insanely fucking disgusting
- Comment on Cloud Imperium quietly steal Star Citizen developers' weekends from under them with mandated overtime in the lead up to Citizencon 1 month ago:
Yeah but leave it to journos to never miss a chance to shit on star citizen for clicks. I seriously doubt they actually care.
Half the time I make the mistake of giving them a click it’s lazy unresearched shit… CIG has a lot of problems for sure, but “the media” loves to profit off of SC bashing.
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
I feel like monster hunter is kinda hard to mess up, unless they suddenly decided to make it turn based with micro transactions for extra turns or something lol
The “story” is: omg big monster messing up the ecosystem, go fight! So it’s really all down to gameplay lol
