i’m not comfortable with your nonchalance and complicit behavior with respect to the ancient yet ongoing and soon to become overwhelming alien bombardment we are currently facing as a planet

they don’t need to fight over me

I think Apple intended it to allow people to understand when a message was secure or not

I don’t even think it’s security; It meant the messages are free. A large part of the early marketing for iMessage was that it bypasses the sms network entirely and that you could text as much as you want even if you didn’t have unlimited texting on your plan, as long as you were talking in blue bubbles.

this describes a bunch of my friendships honestly

Can’t be. Fry’s nose was broken at some point in childhood, that’s why it is always drawn with an extra bump that the rest of his family doesn’t have.

“simply showing off” -> clowning on humans

Iduno, i definitely learned some new things about star wars by clicking on that link. well, one new thing at least. so i wouldn’t say it was that bad.

this is a dashed seven thread. we don’t take kindly to straight-topped threes. double-bubble eights are also not “one of us”, nor are angle-ticked ones (if you’re gonna tick a one you better give that tick a curve). slashed and dotted zeroes are ok, but naked zeroes are heresy. overly-hooked 6s and 9s make us feel uncomfortable. triangled fours are the worst, though.

it wasn’t. in fact, this post wasn’t asking for anybody on lemmy to post about it either, regardless of their opinion.

i’m sure whoever wrote this wants us to sign up for their comments section and discuss this there on their website. shall we continue this discussion there instead? that is, after all, what the post is asking us to do.

20-30y ago is a good chunk of time. my parents were 20 when i was born, and i would not want to be judged by my parents decisions either.

You’re talking about a generation after the nazis. they’re ashamed of their nazi parents the same way people today are ashamed of their maga dollarstore-nazi family.

For the record I think the producers of SoM should have been able to use the original footage they wanted to; however i would not be as willing to rewatch it as i am now if every viewing meant i was subjected to that kind of emotional trauma if they had.

Will not buy. I do not like rockstar’s business model of “release new GTA, milk the franchise via online mode and microtransactions for a decade rather than making more content and new games”. GTA1-4 and all of the offshoot/expansion games for each, came out in a shorter timespan than GTA5’s lifespan, WITHOUT an expansion.

Also, GTA5 was wonderful technically, but the story was cookie cutter as hell. Even just looking at the “amazing new 3 protagonists”, it’s a white guy in his 40s who just wants one final score before retiring (every heist movie protagonist ever), a black dude from the streets with gang history (b/c he’s black, and a criminal, he’s obviously a gang member), and some methed out white dude (who even the dev team admits is just a character based on “lol gta players will play like psychopaths because the npc’s aren’t real people, isn’t that funny/weird haha let’s make a character about it” — like no the whole point of gta is that it’s a story about being a criminal, so you do criminal stuff and get rewarded for it with points/money/weapons and without real consequence, like when mario jumps on a goomba). two boring stereotypes that and a

Anyway, buying gta6 sounds like a poor life decision to me. i hate yearly franchises, but decade-ly franchises are so much worse. the starcraft 1->2 transition taught me that way before gta5 even came out.

Me want see thing in order, old thing first new thing last

Fun fact: this is also an algorithm!

As a programmer, nothing about the modern world frustrates me more than the difference between the definition of the word algorithm when you ask a programmer or mathematician, and anyone else in the entire fucking world.

The U.S. Navy plans to equip its Virginia-class submarines with Xbox 360 controllers, which will control the ship’s periscopes.

Periscopes. Not steering the goddamned sub.

that was just a phase

oh yes, unionize af. not much of an option in my career and i kept glossing over that point, but 100% unionize i agree.

Yeah, it's a lot the meme format and the underlying implication of defeat that makes it feel weird to me. I actually think that they shouldn't have needed the loophole, and on its whole, portraying a negative thing in a negative light is valid. but the meme format puts this in a weird place for me b/c of the implication of defeat

to me the flow of “anti-nazi org says no -> i found a loophole -> anti nazi org is shocked and defeated” feels uncomfortable to me. it’s not the subject matter or your point, but presented in this yugioh format it feels like it’s leaning on the wrong side to me.

SoM was indeed anti-nazi, yes. But this meme is about subverting an anti-nazi political body with a loophole, which shocks (and assumedly, from the comic panels, defeats) said political body. this part, which is not included in the original work, is what makes me uncomfortable.

this post feels pro-nazi in a way that discomforts me
