My best friend was convinced that my ex wanted to get pregnant even though we’d been together for years and she had zero desire to have children. Nothing I said convinced him. I really don’t get it because it’s just not that uncommon anymore for people to not want kids.

It’s not an argument my dude, just a preference. I’m lazy and don’t like wings much to begin with so the fact that they’re extra effort just puts them down another notch. They’re annoying.

Finally, a kindred soul. Everyone I knew in high school and college was obsessed with getting wings all the time. I don’t get it

I don’t think it is. The keyboard was awful on every iPhone I’ve had. I always switched to gboard instead because of it.

Same. I like to listen to music or podcasts in the shower sometimes. I’m not standing in the water with my phone but sometimes it gets wet because I change sometime. I’ve never had an issue

I’d vote my butt off for her if she really were a witch.

I love NYC but no doubt there are a lot of insufferable people there. It says a lot about how much the city feels entitled to dominating the state’s culture that the word “New Yorker” only means people from the city.

If you’re from anywhere else in the state you have to phrase it in a more awkward way (“I’m from upstate” or “I’m from NY state”).

This is becoming less and less true as time goes on. It reached a high point during the Bush years but if you look at polling of young people, they are much less patriotic than older people. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/america-250-anniversary-poll-b2997555.html

Which makes complete sense, since it’s very obvious that we aren’t the greatest country on earth when a 25 year old with a degree has to struggle just to survive and can’t afford rent and going to the hospital bankrupts them.

If you and to just dismiss this as “getting triggered” then go ahead, but that would make it very obvious that you only know this country from TV and the internet and don’t actually talk to people from here.

Typical magat “caveman smash” reaction to everything. They didn’t get instant results so they scream and cry and throw a temper tantrum.

I loved BB and BCS but it feels like you’re putting them on pedestal. They’re obviously examples of great writing but they aren’t in a class of their own, certainly not to an “exponential” degree. I’d put Chernobyl or Band of Brothers, just to start, on the same level. Possibly season 1 of True Detective as well, as a self-contained story. And I haven’t seen every show on this list.

I’ll also say that Black Mirror has some of the best psychological horror I’ve ever seen. It might not be an epic serial like BB but not much media has scared me to the core like Black Mirror. Not every show needs to try to do what BB did.

Palantir’s such a psychotically cringey company. Acting like flying a MacBook from a desk in Miami is some warrior shit. God I hate them so much. What’s worse is they actually do help kill people but never have to come face to face with it.

On top of that their cringe is infecting other tech companies. Like the term “forward deployed engineer”. Because you know, implying that you’re at war with your customers is definitely healthy and appropriate.

In the industry Tesla is known for being incredibly hostile towards women who work there. But yeah I doubt most people outside tech would know that, though they probably wouldn’t be surprised.

Most Americans don’t care about defense contractors. They hurt foreigners we don’t know, unlike Palantir which intentionally hurts Americans in addition to foreigners.

Tesla and Palantir. I doubt anyone cares if you work for some no name enterprise company like Initech.

Grab a hoodie buddy.

The cultures of Lemmy and Reddit are 100% identical, right down to the weirdly entitled and aggressive commenters

People whined and cried about the lack of content on Lemmy but never posted anything (including me btw). Now we’re going to whine and cry because bots are solving that problem?

Lemmy is basically identical to reddit in so many ways, and it looks like incessantly whiny commenters is one of them. The bots keep getting engagement from users so all this complaining means nothing.

Based on what? There are like two quotes from her in the article.

Because it gives magats another excuse to shit on dei and continue promoting actual racism.

I have to say it’s a stupid fucking move by Stanford too.

Sony still has good IPs to fall back on, despite all the goodwill they’ve lost lately. The PS6 will sell just fine as long they launch it with a couple recognizeable titles.

Xbox is in deep shit because first of all, they’re competing with themselves. There’s no reason to get an Xbox if you have a PC. Secondly their IPs are trash. They ruined Halo and people don’t trust Bethesda anymore. Although I do think a new ES game would still print money.
