I’ve come around to liking spiders, maybe a day far from now I’ll come around to liking house centipedes. Gross little helpful fuckers.

Bystander syndrome. YOU are the one that has to call 911!

Nintendo has never attempted to be a graphical competitor to Sony or Microsoft. It wasn’t their MO in the 90s, 00s, 10s, or 20s. Assuming that buying a Nintendo console should put you into a game market that looks like Playstations or Xbox’s is foolhardy. You buy a Nintendo console because you like Nintendo games. Their library is not lacking whatsoever. There are dozens and dozens of quality 1st party titles for the Switch. How you feel about their corporate persona is a different conversation.

The 9th generation has largely been a failure. Sales of consoles can be explained by FOMO and mid-pandemic desperation for anything new. The rate at which people are buying games, compared to the rate at which quality AAA games get developed, contrasted by the price of new AAA games, and you are literally choking out the industry. People have never been less interested in graphical fidelity as they are in 2024, and more and more people are becoming familiar with the PC ecosystem having spent a lot of time using one for remote work and school. People are finally starting to understand that digital only games are not a great investment. Games like Minecraft and Fortnite have never been more popular. Interest in the Switch 2 is middling at best. And most people see Xbox’s days being numbered. AMD only wins if people buy more consoles, and at this point, the PS5 pro isn’t really winning anyone over and those that wanted a regular PS5 already have one.

The Matrix Reloaded is legitimately a good movie. It’s a little heady, maybe a little too up its own ass at times (the Architect scene is pretty baffling in the moment, although it ultimately comes together and makes sense in the context of the greater story), but worldbuilding is on point, the action is some of the best in movie history, and has enough of a cool factor that the Wachowskis were given passes on all of their box office bombs for 2 decades after the fact.

I thought Evangeline Lilly was always decent on Lost, but boy, that line was bad. Then she had to go super “do your own research” during the pandemic and now the phone aint ringin.

Tachyons are particles that travel faster than the speed of light and appear as if they are moving backwards through time. The mushroom tip of the image is the leading edge of the field, and the shaft on the end represents the “visible” field the particle may have resided in the past. It’s elongated because it “smears” across space-time as it constantly accelerates well beyond the speed of light, and since we can’t measure anything faster than light, it resides in a larger field that has the vector of the particle as its axis.

Ahh yes, the phenomenon of “somebody cleaned up your dickhead mess you made”.

So is 80% of everyone else making 50k less a year.

I wonder if he also compares the sinking T rates in men with his super macho and manly voice.

Says right on the list that he schedules all of his meetings for the afternoon. The 3 hours of deep unbroken undistracted work in the morning (if he actually is able to pull it off) would definitely be a more productive work day than your average 9-5 office worker. It’s been shown in studies that the 40 hour work week of an average middle manager in an office produces very little value to a company, and is full of useless meetings and distractions that derail concentration.

People love to shit on linkedinlunatics (myself included) but people who think that you can get up at 11am, never exercise, never structure your day, and spend all day on lemmy and somehow achieve your goals are just as delusional.

This list might seem crazy to some people (some of the advice is hyper specific to this person’s specific lifestyle) but literally everything is a good idea on it. You don’t become successful at a thing unless you make a plan and structure your day around that priority. Learning how to say no to things is huge. People pleasing is a mental illness. If you have the ability to say no, and you’re not at risk of getting fired or letting down someone you care about, if it doesn’t serve your goals, you say no to it.

You’re asking a huge question. But to break it down, yes, thousands of studies exist, many of them paid for by the very companies doing the chemical dumping, deforestation, and natural resource pillaging.

Here’s the paper they reference in the article itself: https://www.fs.usda.gov/nrs/pubs/jrnl/2024/nrs_2024_pan_001.pdf

All of this human activity, for the purposes of energy generation, agriculture, gasoline, and plastics for every day living affects the Earth and its interconnected systems. Destroying forests for wood or other resources means there are fewer carbon sinks on Earth to absorb all of the carbon we create while destroying the Earth. It’s a self-perpetuating crisis. The impact comes from humans and our greed for more money.

Why did you write this? No one mentioned you.

Huh. You’d think right wing assholes would love just staying in the real world where all of their hard work and fiscal responsibility delivered them lives us broke libtards could only dream of.

Also, half of them rolled druids so we all have to wait for all of their pets to have a turn too.

It just ruined cinematography. Now if you have any bokeh effect whatsoever, people think you’re a professional. It’s destroyed indie filmmaking as a gig.

I’m willing to bet that none of the original hawk tuah video was a spur of the moment organic dude with a phone interviewing drunk chick’s on TikTok video. Shit was 1000% staged and she had already been signed. Still. Get that money.

You just don’t need to try so hard. This post wasn’t political whatsoever.

The down votes are out of line. There’s a reason why toxic masculinity exists, and that’s poor or no male role models worth a damn. In the case of dating, it’s good to have input from both men and women so you can PID your approach and not come off as some dweeb.
