i don’t use apple products but it works on everything else

why don’t you have an adblocker? I haven’t seen / heard an ad on one of my devices in 15 years.

I prefer to think of it as they made a bad show on purpose, and then tried to claim that the reasons why it’s bad are the reasons why it’s good actually.

Don’t get me wrong, the plot (what little of it I did see) was pretty good, and the acting was (mostly) pretty good, the set design and costuming and whatnot was pretty good. Very high production quality. The problems that you pointed out with the writing I 100% agree with, and relegate what could have been a great show to expensive background noise.

Dune Prophecy did the same thing, and it was in those conversations I found the term “3rd screen content”. The studios really are doing this on purpose.

3rd screen content. you’re not actually supposed to watch it, you’re supposed to passively absorb it while doing something else.

I’m imagining it and that sounds hot

I’m glad there’s pronunciations provided, because to me it looks like it should sound like a slur.

thanks, i hate it

No grandpa fortran, everybody loves you. Now let’s get you back inside with cobol.

anyone else miss how you used to be able to simply set all the colors and fonts for things yourself? And it was easy. It wasn’t just light theme or dark theme and those are your only two options, but really whatever you want.

windows xp truly was peak windows.

(everyone should switch to linux, btw)

I keep seeing headlines like this all the time. I’m over here like “This has already been a thing for years”. Whenever I’d setup a win10 pc for someone, I’d have to clean the ads out of the start menu as part of the setup. So I ask again, how is this any different from the bullshit we’re already dealing with?

My home town had four churches and no homeless people. What homeless people are those churches supposed to help?

Meanwhile, in the city I now live in, there’s tons of churches and half of them give free food to the homeless every single day, and there’s lines going around the block at all of them.

There is no magic bullet that can solve homelessness. Anything proposed must be a part of a larger solution. There are tons of proposals that, if actually done and not half-assed, would help immensely.
