  • Holy fuck they sold shirts? I didn't really give a shit about formats other than mp3 before I joined that place. I was a FLAC whore by the time I got off the high seas, and it was because of that place.

  • I get how those topics can make you feel a little squirrelly, but the overall message is tolerance and compassion. Is it really that terrible to instill those values in kids? When I was in elementary school there were definitely kids who were bullied for being perceived as gay even though none of us really understood what that meant aside from "that's a boy who likes other boys". I really wish I could go back and smack some sense into my younger self, but also smack some sense into the adults at the time for letting us act like miniature assholes.

  • Holy shit this is my first "Reddit Moment" on Lemmy, where I go to post something and someone else has already posted it.

    So many parts of that damn game are somehow burned into my psyche.

    "Arum Sub Est".

  • To be fair, porn is a little lower on the "first they came for the -----" list than he was probably expecting. He likely thought he had a few more marginalized groups to take the fall before the leopards started eating HIS face. But yeah, reap what you sow.

  • I spent one night cleaning commercial airliner cabins at a regional airport.

    Since I was would have basically unrestricted access to commercial airliners post 9/11, I had to go through serious screening to get this job. Fingerprinting, MASSIVELY invasive federal background checks, the whole 9 yards. You'd think I was going to work at the Pentagon. But that's a good thing. If someone has momentarily unfettered access to an entire jet that will be carrying a ton of jet fuel and hundreds of passengers, I absolutely want to make sure people are thoroughly vetted. It was made ABUNDANTLY clear to me, the potential consequences of fucking up this job. If I were liable for a fuck up I would be at the very least fined thousands of dollars, at worst I'd be thrown into federal prison.

    So my first day passes and I get called into my supervisors office. Apparently I missed a non-sanctioned magazine a previous passenger had left in a seat back of a flight. I wasn't being fired or fined, but I was on final warning. Over a magazine. I quit on the spot.

    I also forgot to mention that this job payed barely above minimum wage...

    I wasn't going to bust my ass cleaning airplane cabins, risking my livelihood and freedom for a fucking pittance.

  • No one is blaming guns for "everything", but holy christ you can't acknowledge that there's a massive mental health issue in America without maybe thinking that it shouldn't be so fucking easy for those mentally unstable people to get guns.

    The answer isn't easy, but it surely isn't more guns.

  • Yeah, it's a definite departure in tone. But stick with it. It becomes a more serious rendition of the franchise, but it's just as engaging.

    It not only keeps the overall spirit of the franchise going, it revitalizes it because of the set and setting. Where SG1 and Atlantis have humanity becoming virtually indestructible gods through their new technology, EVERYONE in SGU is vulnerable.

    It's really unfortunate because the show was canceled right when it was finding it's feet.
