- Comment on Apple isn't happy about India's demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C 11 months ago:
Wow, you get a kickback for ripping people off more.
I have no hope for modern governments.
- Comment on Apple isn't happy about India's demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C 11 months ago:
Yeah. Could you imagine if this was the norm everywhere?
Crazy how people are always cool with lowering their standards but never cool with raising them.
- Comment on Apple isn't happy about India's demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C 11 months ago:
I don’t think its unreasonable. Apple can afford it and it’s better for customers.
Win-win, imo unless you’re an Apple investor (which you’re not.)
- Comment on Apple isn't happy about India's demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C 11 months ago:
The only people who should care about apples “happiness” are those who are invested in it.
“Happiness” for a for-profit corporation just means how much they’re maximizing profit.
- Comment on subs > dubs 11 months ago:
I’ve heard that Japanese anime voice actors are seen on about the same level as we see American anime voice actors.
- Comment on subs > dubs 11 months ago:
what are you doing listening to Japanese speaking voices?
I think some anime legitimately sounds better with the Japanese voice acting, but some people take it too far and extrapolate that to mean all anime is better with Japanese voices and any dub is immediately shit.
One Punch Man sounds better with the Japanese voices imo. Saitama sounds downright iconic in Japanese, but like a generic wimpy boy in English.
The vast majority of other shows I prefer watching in English. Either the dub is identical in quality to the sub, or the difference is small enough that I don’t care since I prefer watching things in my language.
- Comment on subs > dubs 11 months ago:
I usually think less of a person when they say subs > dubs cause it’s usually an elitist loser.
- Comment on Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself” 11 months ago:
I don’t think Dave Chappelle is a piece of shit. I think a lot of criticism towards him is exactly what his recent gripes about the alphabet people are about. He made fun of everyone and nobody cared, but when he makes fun of the LGBT then all of a sudden people like you are say “he’s always been a bad guy.”
- Comment on Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself” 11 months ago:
I just wanna say: nobody should have this much money.
If we’re gonna make exception, make it for the doctors and surgeons. Don’t make it for the business owners who have people do all their work for them.
- Comment on Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself” 11 months ago:
It’s called “unwavering approval from your peers.”
We’d all be pieces of shit if our peers cheered us on for every bad thing we did.

He was fine on rick and morty.

Why settle for less anyway
Because I’m a tool.
- Comment on Why Bother With uBlock Being Blocked In Chrome? Now Is The Best Time To Switch To Firefox 11 months ago:
Start hanging out in different communities.
Make those other posts.
- Comment on Why Bother With uBlock Being Blocked In Chrome? Now Is The Best Time To Switch To Firefox 11 months ago:
I haven’t been using chrome ever since they remove AdNauseam from the web store with no justifiable reason.
They just took it off and kept it that way because there wasn’t sufficient backlash.
- Comment on EU stops advertising on X over hate speech. Fines could follow next year 11 months ago:
Might want to check out Thunderf00t then.
He’s building an anthology of musk’s fuck-ups. It’s pretty hilarious.

🥱
Don’t you get tired of saying the same joke over and over again?
- Comment on Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games 11 months ago:
That was actually a solid deal because most people didn’t have game collections or exposure to a lot of great titles.
Whoever got away with putting Metal Gear Solid on one of the demo discs changed my life. It’s a shame we’d never see something like that in the modern day.
- Comment on Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games 11 months ago:
I know way too many people who sit through ads for energy to play mobile games. I know way too many people who will sit through freevee or still pay over a hundred bucks a month for cable tv, somehow. It’ll never change.
It’s so sad because these people could block those ads and use free streaming services.
Blokada 5 blocks adds in apps, but you have to sideload it from their website because Google blocked all apps that use Blokada’s functionality from the Play Store.
Here’s a free streaming service to watch pretty much anything for free, just make sure you have Adnauseam or uBlock Origin installed: fmoviesz.to
The problem is that we, as a culture, don’t pride ourselves on saving money. We pride ourselves on getting taken advantage of because that’s what everyone else is doing. Useful idiots and tools are the norm. They get mad whenever someone rises above their stupidity.
- Comment on Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games 11 months ago:
It was all 3.
Lo and behold, gaming men are typically shit. Probably has something to do with their stunted growth.
- Comment on Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games 11 months ago:
Have you considered how much you lower your standards so people richer than you can be even richer at your expense?
Might want to stop doing that.
- Comment on Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games 11 months ago:
If you still want to watch amazon video content, you can stream pretty much anything for free here: fmoviesz.to
Just make sure you have Adnauseam or uBlock Origin installed.
I just started watching the 2nd season of Invincible :)
- Comment on Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games 11 months ago:
They made a lot of good games back in the day.
Ubisoft used to be known for their quality, and they still have a lot of very talented developers under their belt.
The problem, as usual, is management and players with low standards.
The talented developers don’t get to do more because players are willing to accept less. So that’s what management tells them to do.
The key is to have higher standards, but nobody wants to admit they got suckered into buying or liking shit.
- Comment on Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games 11 months ago:
Yeah, it’s like all the useful idiots doing mental gymnastics to justify paying for youtube premium forget how subscription services like netflix and amazon routinely get worse over time.
- Comment on Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games 11 months ago:
Totally agree.
These people deserve what they get. If they don’t like it, stop paying for it.
- Comment on Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games 11 months ago:
Ah, my hardline stance of “don’t buy profitable products you can get for free” is still working out for me.
- Comment on Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games 11 months ago:
Assassin’s creed and Siege ruined ubisoft.
They just stopped trying because they learned they can just milk loyal fans for all eternity.
- Comment on 'Morale is at an all-time low': Ex-Googler writes scathing latter slamming layoffs and 'eroded' culture 11 months ago:
with some exclusive games
Sweetie, you don’t just get heavy-hitting exclusives right out the gate.
In what world does Google shell out enough cash for a game that’s so good it pulls people to Stadia when the developers can just sell their good game on already-proven platforms?
They’d have to make their own studio or contract it out. I never saw Google shelling out $50m for a AAA game, and small-time shit is stuff people can just get on their phones.

Pretty much every major airline incident in the modern age is the result of businesses cutting corners to maximize profit.
