Shit where do you work man? I need to get me one of those jobs, because, while I just keep to my own life, it seems the same shit goes on, because the assholes never really grow up. They just age. No matter where you go.

They're blocking the dashcam or something? I think.

Yeah this seems like some selfawarewolves shit. And even in this whiny tirade they just couldn't leave some sort sexist/ableist/hateful insult off. As much as spez is a fucking tool, people like turtle are the bigger reason honestly the whole site had turned to diarrhea IMO - rampant assholes taking over the site.

I’m glad this is happening while most of the Boomers are still alive, they can see exactly what kind of world they’re passing on to their grandchildren before they go.

LMAO as if they give a shit. I talked with my parents about how they're so privileged to be able to be so carefree (read: careless) about everything while I probably won't ever see retirement or necessarily be able to drink water from the tap (we have excellent water) like they do and it was like I was talking an alien language. They don't give a fuck.

I thought "not the onion" wasn't supposed to be satire, except I don't know if this even counts as satire, this is just dumb. Literally the same joke, every time.

Except it literally does affect them, they're literally the ones throwing tantrums and whining about how mods and others ruined the subs, without a hint of irony.

Yeah, in good and in bad, this place is a lot like "the old days of the internet", but thankfully more in the good way than the bad. People keep complaining about shit I haven't seen for a second, constantly there are actions from the mod/admin side about shit I've never even seen etc. Even without proper mod tools and shit it seems like everything is working out quite well. To which I and all of us owe a huge thank you to the people working on this stuff.

Thank you people! Thank you for making this place feel like home and something greater than what we've had for a long ass time.

I was honestly a little shocked to find The Fountain rated so low, Tomatometer (fuck the tomatometer anyway, audience score is where it's usually at) was 52% with scathing reviews, the audience score fortunately remedied the situation with 74% cause I was seriously starting to look for another site.

And for it's opposite: The Blair Witch Project is 86% vs 56%. I haven't seen it in ages, have been planning to, but it was one of my favorite movies for a while.

Look at you telling on yourself putting "it" in "air quotes" and all.

There was a post somewhere that I saw some time ago and there was a bathroom a lot like this, not all glass, but a glass window you could see to and from the bed, as well as mirrors all over that let you see to and from the bed and someone explained that those kinds of bathrooms/hotel rooms are that way for sex stuff, like paid sex stuff. I don't remember the exact reasoning, but it's not to watch someone take a dump. I mean I guess if someone's into that then two birds with one stone, but it was more along the lines of security or something, so you can see neither party is doing something malicious, stealing or spicing a drink with something.

Maybe this is something like that as well.

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and the sequel Abe's Exoddus. Easily one/two of the best games I've ever played. They're available on PC and other systems these days, but they're still the definitive Playstation game for me. Unique and one of a kind and even today, absolutely great to play.

I also give a vote to Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and Medievil. Surprised no-one's mentioned Oddworld though.

Edit: Ooh I have to add, Rayman! And if you have a friend to play with - Team Buddies.

I was gonna say Raised by wolves and Adventure Time, but I see those have gotten the deserved attention so I'm gonna add Kidding. Not because it was left in a bad way, but it was just an amazing show.

...but I mean Raised by wolves just hurts, it was just peaking goddamnit!

No that's it exactly, lol, we're getting lost in a jungle of double-negatives.

  • The Onion - satire
  • Not the Onion - things that happen that are so outlandish you'd think it is satire
  • This - Neither, cause it's someone making shit up, just some conservative asshole flogging the same dead horse with the same, tired old stick joke

No-one's mentioned Dexter yet, so I'm gonna go ahead and do that. What a shit show. I really don't get why they brought it back from the dead. Sure the original ending was kind of shitty, but it wasn't that bad they had to revive it and kill it for good.

I guarantee you that's not the reason. They did/do similar shit with Facebook and people were pissed, now anyone barely remembers or cares. People don't care and facwbook/meta/zuck certainly doesn't.

Sure, but there is a difference letting one corporation overpower the market and supporting a national or even international business.

We got Taco Bell some years back where I live and suddenly all the actually good places died, and sure, some of them were genuine local businesses instead of just corporate chsins, but I'd much rather support anything other than some American super corporation, get a shittier product that's more expensive, just because they have the money to push their shitty product more than some smaller, albeit corporation shit.

Most American super corporations have enough influence and power as it is. Nothing wrong if we get some competition and variety. Lesser of two evils you know.

Exactly. Like, I get that people want to have fun and all and I'm all for it even if it's not my thing, but any relevant discussion was constantly drowned out by the pun chains and copypasted shit to the point that it was fairly obviously often just bots, but as long as a few people have their fun fuck the discussion right? Right... but I/you/we gotta be less cynical, as was said above the lemmy algo is apparently better with this stuff. So I'm at least going to try to be a little hopeful.

There is no report feature yet. Most admins/mod teams I've seen respond to issues like these have said to report to them directly by direct message.
