No, I want it voiced by a trained actor.
I thought Terrance Howard was great in the first iron man, I was really bummed to find out they dropped him, then I saw the second one and you know what? Don cheadle knocked it out of the park.
I thought the daily show would be shit without Craig Kilbourn, and then bam, we get Jon Stewart. Pure gold.
If we had just used AI to knock off the originals we never would have seen other actors shine in the role
- Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. 3 days ago:
Does Lemmy have an equivalent of the reddit sportsbook sub? That’s literally the only thing I actually go to Reddit for anymore, and I’d prefer to just use Lemmy if possible

Saw this coming a mile away. Going to hurt borrowing across the board
- Comment on Maybe Trump's Presidency Will Make Everything So Awful It Will Facilitate Actual Positive Change Nationwide 1 week ago:
That was my hope during his first term. I figured he was so massively unqualified that he’d fuck up so badly he’d get impeached and hopefully executed for treason. The frustrating part is that I was right about him being a massively unqualified fuck up, and the impeachment. I just didn’t think that 95% of Republicans were complete traitors that cared more about Russian bribes than Americans.
- Comment on how to get unbanned from communities? 1 week ago:
I never actually criticized people for supporting trans rights. I just pointed out that the topic can be divisive in American culture, and that is someone wanted to sow division, an easy way to do it would be to talk too much about that one very narrow topic, when we should be focusing on broader cooperative efforts at the moment. It doesn’t mean trans people deserve any more or less than anyone else.

I mean… Who’d have thought anyone in North Korea was allowed to have a sense of humor…

Because you were never in their secret little club. That’s what these idiots don’t understand. They think that because they have a few million dollars, or tens of millions and a business that they are ‘wealthy’ and therefore Republicans are one of them and vice versa.
If you don’t have at least 250 million, you are never going to be the intended beneficiary of Republican policy, and in fact, you will be harmed by their decisions. If you went to one of their little fund raisers and proudly announced that your business made ten million dollars last year, they’d fucking laugh at you, because you’re a joke to them. A donkey that thinks it’s a Thoroughbred

You must be an active mod on one of the tankie instances with that kind of thinking.
Everyone is a piece of shit in their own respect. It’s our jobs to find common ground in spite of that

When you define anything that involves trans people and something you don’t agree with as transphobic then you’re not going to be able to take three steps out of your door in the morning without encountering something transphobic.
Everyone deserves basic human rights and the dignity that comes with them. And someone can feel like they are whatever they think they are, absolutely fine. And others may fundamentally disagree with what you think, which is also completely fine.
The fact of the matter is that the majority of the people in the world, don’t give a shit what bathroom someone uses, or what an adult decides to believe or do with their own body. They never did. So by putting such focus on an issue that impacts hardly anyone directly, one which many people fundamentally disagree with, you’re just making more division.
everyone in the country had their civil rights suspended, so try and think a bit larger than just one microcosm.

Advertisers are basically just arms manufacturers, supplying the wealthy with the tools needed to manipulate and use the population. Cut the head of the dragon
- Comment on how to get unbanned from communities? 1 week ago:
I pointed out that constantly posting about ‘trans rights’ was just a way sow division with a topic that directly impacts a very small portion of the population, but gaslights a large portion of the remainder. Got banned.
- Comment on Cost of US military offensive against Houthis nears $1 billion with limited impact 1 week ago:
I mean, with all those tarrifs, global shipping traffic will be reduced significantly, which will deter pirating. You didn’t have to waste a billion dollars, dipshits.

Yeah bullshit. What mobile is are they moving towards? Oh, Android OS? Yeah makes sense since there isn’t any competition
- Comment on Donald Trump's approval rating collapses with rural Americans 2 weeks ago:
The irony is that they tried to prove how smart and un-hickish they are by blindly following someone who panders and talks down to them, and is also completely dishonest.
- Comment on Donald Trump's approval rating collapses with rural Americans 2 weeks ago:
Hey, that asshole who’s never worked a day in his life because he had a rich daddy and cheats on his taxes seems like a really trustworthy guy. What I like the most about him is the fact that he would never want to have a beer with me, and if he somehow did, it would be the most painful experience in my life. He really gets me!

- Comment on Canada will ‘never’ yield to Trump’s threats as Prime Minister Carney declares election victory 3 weeks ago:
Just saying, if Canada we’re somehow able to liquidate Trump, Vance, Ron, Johnson, bondi, Rubio, and all other Trump appointees, it wouldn’t even be in the news after a few days. We’d have a special election and just kind of forget about it.

- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 3 weeks ago:
It’s for real time facial recognition for LEO so they can easily identify and round up immigrants and dissidents. They want the government contracts
- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 3 weeks ago:
They know that the government contracts for real time facial recognition via AR will be massive. They want to make a fortune enabling oppression
- Comment on Why does it seem like everyone is so good looking and beautiful nowadays? 3 weeks ago:
It depends on where you are. I just drove thru a college campus the other day for the first time in years, and for it being one of the first really nice days, I have to say the student body was… Underwhelming
- Comment on In a Boon for Tesla, Feds Weaken Rules for Reporting on Self-Driving 3 weeks ago:
I’m sure that they’re just as shitty and more concerned with profits than safety, just like Tesla. When you don’t punish companies and ceo’s like you would a homeless person, or teacher, or doctor, or police officer, or fireman, then they have no incentive to do anything other than profit.

- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 5 weeks ago:
My issue is typically also with Android Auto. The sound fidelity, especially low end, is much better with a good cable, and when the cable starts to go bad it will default to just Bluetooth for audio which is noticable
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 1 month ago:
Yeah, people forget that there are entire generations of Americans whose only feasible retirement plans are suicide or homicide

If you need an ultrasonic cleaner, just go to harbor freight, they have decent ones for cheap. I bought one a few years back for carburetor parts a few years ago, and it does a great job

- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 1 month ago:
I’ve noticed that with the varying quality of USB cables, and them having broken/cracked wires over time, I usually get much faster charging when doing it wirelessly. If anything is way more consistent. With cords it’s a crap shot. Is this a fast charge cord? Was it cheaply made, is it deteriorating? I can use 4 different cords and get different results from each
