Im conflicted. I want to watch the usual suspects again for the first time but with Kevin Spacey being too much of that movie I dont know if i would even if i could. And that makes me sad because it had one of the best moments in cinema…and that has been completely tainted by a shit person

I watched serenity before i watched firefly. Wish i could watch both again in the other order.

BUT i think i had an interesting relationship with the river character that many other fans dont have because i got to view every river moment knowing where her story ends up.

On a different tangent, i wish we could get a Book of Booke or The Good Booke show/novel/film

The jokers new origin story just dropped

Loli need to pay more attention to what community a post is in before i reply

Canadian, some think we are american enough for most situations.

Is it Greece?

Im gonna go check, but thats my answer right now

Anal leakage, also too much spicy food?

And we have tried to clean the slate many times throughout history, but we always get back to where we are. And it will probably work, but i dont think we can until we weaken this digitally reinforced system this time. I think it needs to be broken more before we can get rid of it and the mechanism to breaking it is very simple, we the people need to use the system as much as the corpos do.

So if we keep money circulating and OUT of investment, we gain power again over finances. Maybe not enough to reverse the problems, but enough that we CAN get to a clean slate.

I think it will take a world war that changes the maps forever to happen any other way, which i think would be worse for too many people who wont survive. If this was in ukraine hasnt already shown us

I think we really just need to remove the burden of having to work yourself to death just to pay for the existence you didnt ask for.

Which is why UBI or other similar strategies are becoming popular again. Ive thought a lot about this recently and we have too large or a system that depends entirely too much on transactions of money because it is a much easier way to trade goods and services as opposed to some kind of bartering system.

But money and power corrupt everything over a long enough period of time. Massive turmoil can short circuit that as in times of crisis where values can shift greatly.

I think the systems we rely on can’t really be dismantled at this point. We need to create an equilibrium before we can start that dismantling of useless,broken,restrictive,unethical, ways in which we transact with other people.

UBI should be used as the mechanism to achieve that equilibrium so that everyone can use the system. If we arent able to financially exploit people anymore than the people will be able to live for the themselves.

Not everyone will want to use that opportunity for self improvement, and we need to work to build a system that lets people not have to be a part of it while it still provides for them to live their unasked for existence in much more meaningful manner.

Conservatism is a vile plague of inhumanity, oppression and death and should be treated as such. It is due for a cure.

And yet they seem to be the majority, or close to it. So one has to ask, why is that so many people turn to it. It has to give them value. And is that value real or perceived.

For some it is very real, usually the exceptionally wealthy. Which means conservatism is profitable.

Not having empathy for anyone outside of your in group would make it easy to dismiss or justify the fact that the first rule of capitalism is find a weakness and exploit it

Covid didnt shut down any of the big EA titles

I’m not missing the ball thank you very much.

But you are obviously my point because you just restated everything i was talking about.

I couldn’t agree with you more

I’m not sure how to respond to this.

Reply was where it was intended.

Im clearly (to me anyway) responding to the conversation about outcomes and intents you quoted, but was reply to the conversation between you and the other person. Was trying to offer more support to your position since neither of you mentioned the facet i brought up. I may have rambled a bit but re reading it im not sure why you responded the way you did.

Im not that invested in this though so im just going leave it as i was agreeing with you, intent is a useful tool to use in any incident of judgment. Not one that needs to be used in the judgement, but needs to be considered before judgment

When you are calling these fucking assholes weirdos, do you realize how fucking many kids have had to live through that stigma being slung at them unfairly and hurtfully?

Do you know why one of the worlds most loved and celebrated humans calls himself Weird Al Yankovich?

Yes im venting im sorry but this new tactic against the enemies of humanity is going to cause damage to people who are already and always have been vulnerable.

Shame on everyone who is jumping on this band wagon with absolutely no understanding of the consequences you are having.

I hope you can live with yourself for being part of the reason kids feel like they need to take a gun, go to school, and start shooting their bullies. While thats not the motivation of all these school shootings it was very much a big part of Columbine happening.

So go ahead and keep doing harm to a small group of people you didnt give enough thought to before you propagate this moniker for people are some of the worst people in history

Furthermore if outcomes are what gets punished, then what happens if people get hurt because you said something provably true? Poeple aren’t rational at the worst of times.

Untrue does not automatically mean its a lie. For an untruth to be a lie it also must intend to deceive.

All lies are untrue but all untruths are not lies in the same way all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.

But even untruths that intend to deceive aren’t automatically lies, could be a joke though it’s probably debatable with regards to joking. But then that’s exactly why intent must be determined when considering the totality of any situation/incident

Something can be done for amusement that isn’t a joke. And we all should be aware of the nature of Trolls at this point online

Really easy to imagine that world to most people. Like me. Who inspite of using computers since my 386sx family pc, never got into software engineering.

I understand a little about it, but its just a name of a thing i dont know how to use lol

I just find it funny how its a kind of ignorance(for entirely understandable reasons)is bliss situation to me, but a horror to those who use it

Probably not what you were looking for but this week i had cheese curds stolen at work out of the work fridge. Could only have been 1 of 23 people. Won’t ever find out who. I can be reasonably sure it wasn’t half of them, can’t accuse anyone since im a manager and the company response is basically don’t use the fridge if you don’t want to have things stolen

Everything you said i have lived. I say this because of what to have said. 100 a year if that’s all you can plan for, 10 dollars when. But keep adding too it. I’ve had to show out my entire savings before. Which granted weren’t much worth mentioning to be honest, but i do regret not having had something put aside

What iearned for myself is to put together a rainy day fund, and when you fill that up then put the rest into an untouchable(but not really. Invest or just save, however you want to do it, but there are times you will wish you had started thinking long term a lot earlier

Start saving some of your money. Whatever you can but have damned restraint and dont spend it

All i have is OccupartionalFirstAid Level 1 and it drives me absolutely insane with frustration to think about what things real health professionals worst fears might be.
