If you want to feel better about ditching things, just donate them.

And we, as a country, apparently elected one.

The only respect I’m ever going to give Bill Cosby, is how he stood up and criticized the black community for their ghetto-like behavior and how they continued blaming the white man for all of their problems. That took balls and only he could have done it because he’s black as well.

I remember the moment news broke out, that I just got rid of all books he authored. The Sandman graphic novels, Coraline, American Gods, Stardust .etc

All I was looking forward to reading someday but nope.

I am going to be controversially unpopular by saying that just simply going to saudi arabia to do a show is nothing. There are still people there who live under a tyrannical regime that they can do little about, who is to say that they don’t deserve some entertainment? Because it would be blanket generalizing to say that everyone in Saudi Arabia is a-okay with what their government does or whatever the prince does. Granted, you can say 90% of the people there approve of whatever the Saudi Prince does, but there’s still that 10% that don’t for him.

Besides, these are a bunch of comedians, not politicians. Political matters in regards to human rights should be handled by politicians who right now, aren’t doing a stellar job except shit out statistics about how bad it is. What can anyone else do? If anyone else outside of a politician or an official’s scope of handling does shit, then that’s grounds to start yet another war, which we don’t need another of considering everything going on right now.

So, you know, you feel whatever you feel. I hate the WWE for doing business with the Saudis which is different than a few comedians just going there to do an event.

But I don’t see someone like Louis capable of doing that. If he’s about as upfront as he is in his stand-up, I can’t see him swinging his influence around like that.

He actually said he wielded power irresponsibly. In actuality, I think he handled it as well as one could in his situation. He at least asked. Though he could’ve also asked if he could excuse himself or they could excuse themselves so he can have privacy, something. It could’ve totally flipped over on its head if he just went and did it in a way like “ah fuck these women around me, I wanna jerk off”.

There were far more worse offenders that MeToo brought out than him in comparison.

I would rephrase to “cost sensitive”

I shower every other day and studies can back it up by saying it is not a bad way to go.

I get reluctant to shop over 35 or even 40 in total. Unless something is really, really worth it.

The only time I want food delivered if it’s groceries. Because not gonna shop around people.

I slept most of it away because I know I have to go in tonight to work, and work for a ungrateful store for an equally ungrateful company.

But I’m coming off of 5 days off too so it’s like, trying to get my mind into the swing of things.

Absolutely disgraceful that they exist. They prey on people’s desperation to not be lonely and through that, people will pay anything to not be lonely anymore.

I’ve been on a couple of them and they do this Facebook-like trick, where they stuff your inbox full of notifications that people are suddenly wanting to contact you. But in order to access your inbox, you have to pay to see what’s there. What are the odds that after just registering, making your profile and everything that it is just bots or nothing in that inbox?

Just bullshit and predatory.

Facebook’s Dating app, while free and everything, they limit your character limit. So you have to dumb down your profile and you’ll maybe get one person or two in spacious periods of time. But even then you’re spending a lot of time just swiping past people who are restricted to the same thing and you don’t learn a lot about them.

The American Government and those who lobby all the time for things to get their way. The only kind of history they like, is one they approve of. Any historical facts or things they disagree with, is white-washed and buried. The only things they bother to archive are what they think is dear to them and things that are mostly commonly known, nothing of interest.

Profit is the bottom line.

It’s quite sad, how many museums and archival efforts are allowed to die here. The video game industry, was happily allowing over 87% of games released in the past, to just rot and die off without a care. Pirates had to step in a preserve. The music industry, would only care so much about keeping things if they were successful artists. Just so much selective and arbitrary reasons to keep things.

Yeah but you’ve only presented one example. There’s others that are likely not operating like that. Soooo shrugs

He’s the reason I won’t see Tron: Ares.

Like why…him? Of all people.

The fact that he had to pay a family hush-money was incredibly suspicious enough.

I don’t give a shit about Michael Jackson. Except maybe his upbringing with his piece of shit father has had something to do with how he’d later behave. Glad Joe is dead.

Louis C.K

The reason he got cancelled was so stupid and everyone made it seem like he raped countless women. Also, he asked permission to do what he did. If anyone around him at that time didn’t like the sound of him doing what he asked permission for, they could’ve said ‘No’ and he wouldn’t have done it. I just didn’t see Louis being that kind of unreasonable guy but that’s what they demonized him as. I think it was all a ploy, to trap him to do what he did so they could demonize him that way.

The only reason I don’t care of him that much these days is because I’m being introduced to more comics, that I am finding Louis’ material very samey. Like always going on about his kids, family life .etc

The Harry Potter universe is bigger than her to where we can love the universe for what it is and can cut her out easily.

I don’t bother asking them anything.

I’m immediately berating them because I know that they’ve chosen to do this, nobody has put a gun to their head and forced them to do this. They all could collectively stop at anytime and overrun their bosses, they just don’t. So right out of the gate, I’m calling them out for what I know they are. I haven’t gotten a lot of scam calls in quite a while, come to think of it.

And by which point, by 2032 when my Windows 10 stops updating completely (finally). May just be the time I finally go to Linux.

After focusing on backwards-compatibility for 40 years

Lack of, you mean.

Hold on, yes we do want every community to exist on lemmy and the fediverse.

If all that people see are memes, technology, games, asking questions, politics and news all of the time that’s available. They won’t help grow the fediverse. The purpose of the fediverse is to offer people platforms to get them off the shit-world that centralized social media has become.

So if we have nothing else to offer them but those things, of course the fediverse won’t grow.
