Exactly.. I came here to write how can anyone be that stupid to chat with that but I realised that I'm on Lemmy so most of the people here are not sheep as on fb or even reddit.
It's more about nostalgia.. When I was 8 years old, Harry Potter, Lotr and Matrix (also Star Wars, but Disney fcked it up for me recently) were coming out and since then it's my holy trinity of franchises (not that I understood Matrix back than 🤣, I was glad I could watch it behind my mum's back). So I'd like to have all these as a whole collection experience.
Also I was getting these movies as DVD releases for Christmases, birthdays and I liked the bonuses and menu theme music, commentaries, etc. But I don't like the physical part of that media. I'd have to buy bd drive or player, which are expensive in Czechia, also empty bd media is costly and most of all not comfortable to play.
So I could straight away buy original released 4k bluray but I really don't want to spend money on something like that (I don't have much money anyway), I also don't want to give to rich mf of wb any of my money (they have more than enough) and I'd prefer digital copies cause it's comfy and I have a lot of free space.
Fck them. Fck all subscription models. I ended every subscriptions which I was forced into apart from proton ecosystem which is worth 10$ monthly to me. Either I own it or go fck yourself.
There ins no fcking way I'd pay monthly subscription for social networks.. 🤣
I acknowledge only Nolan's trilogy. But I don't like comic book movies in general. This trilogy persuaded me that even comic book adaptations can be good.
It's like a heaven they couldn't have even imagined in the era of VHS. You buy it from them and can use it only as they see fit. I'd rather buy bluray than this slaverism. But of course I prefer nice hevc 4k rip on my NAS browsed through Kodi with Netflix like skin. I scrape files as I download them and after more than 10 years it's really nice offline collection. 😇
You have 3x higher average yearly salary than in the czech republic while having 2x lower price of gas/petrol. And we are considered developed country.. You have nothing to complain about. Get yourself 1.2 litre hatchback like I have..
I would ban every engine above 2l in citizen commute cars cause there is no need for more power.
I'm sorry but I don't want used ev. Battery will be degraded and buying new one is like buying a new cheap petrol car. If you don't buy new one, you'll have a shity range, which is already shity and heavily exaggerated by manufacturers, especially in high and low temps which are for example in Europe where I live almost 50% time of whole year. There is no infrastructure to charge ev cars and it's decades away from being build, especially in my country.
If evs should be reality it has to have range at least 600km in worst temp scenario while being able to charge fully in 15 mins tops.
And even than I wouldn't want it. I wanna have car which I can easily repair myself, without electrical shenanigans and bulshit like changing whole fcking light instead of just bulb, or having to ask to access software of my car, jeez..
I don't want my car to have displays instead of buttons. I don't even understand how that can be legal, when you obviously don't watch the road to adjust fcking air conditioning. Or that stupid hold the line function which has car in my work. You can't even turn that shit off and it steers instead of you. When I overtake a cyclists it's a living nightmare and not talking about state of roads which have like multiples lines over and the cars is fcked.
I'm 29 and I don't want to have over-electroniseid everything..
You guys have cheap gas and cars in comparison to my country (the Czech Republic) considering the average wage, which is ~ 22 200$ here. And the prices of cars (and mostly everything) are higher here than in the USA. Whole last year we had inflation of 17% and now it's not particularly lower.
Our politicians instead of aiding people are taking money from them in taxing more basic stuff like water, food and also more tax on income, taking money from elderly people, not supporting families (it's cheaper here to not be married) while raising their salaries and buying fcking military planes and gear in value higher than is our yearly GDP.
When people demonstrate in Prague on the main square (usually over 100k people, which is 1% people of our whole country, 2x quarterly) their bought mainstream media mitigate the impact and label the people as pro-rusian idiots, even though the demonstration is about unhappiness of people with government not about Russia at all.
Our government is lead by a party which didn't even win the elections, not even closely. They put together 5 parties (of which other 4 basically betrayed their voters by merging with the other parties of different ideas) to create a majority in order to do as they wish.
They created new laws like that nobody in parlament can talk for more than 5 minutes cause they didn't like obstructions from other parties to fight their program. They don't even talk to unions and take interviews anymore about topics which mostly concerns the people.
That's lovely idea but I don't have even money to buy a newly made car. Where I'm supposed to get money for significantly more expensive (price and repair coat) and unreliable electric car? Now I can repair my car on my own cause it's old and easy, also easy to refill. Electric cars is not the way. Also it's not that green as everybody thinks..
Over 16 years on the internet I've been looking for something like this.. 🤯
