Not a film, but I read Cormac McCarthys The Road at 25, and it threw me into a deep depression from which I never fully recovered.
Watching Alien at any age is a borderline traumatic event.
Gremlins. Still freaks me out.
This has been bothering me too for some time.
Literally siding with Russia against the American people... After all those wars against communism, this is where we wound up.
The official sponsor of this election is Russia.
Yeah API shit was the final straw, but it was a long time coming. Honestly I'd switch way sooner had there been any alternative. I and a lot of other people tried, but nothing ever really took off even though the systems were there.
It's about adoption, but mainstream adoption is also what kills a site like this.
Why don't you read the fucking news, Sherlock.
Yeah, us communists are all the same, just repetitive propagandistic slogans and dumb soundbites led by an uncharismatic moron telling us what to do.
Go build a wall, or bridge or whatever.
Edit: Wait, wait, you weren't being sarcastic? If so my bad.
You hit the nail on the head.
Druggies may steal from you, but gamblers ruin the lives of everyone around them.
Funny you should say that by the way, and horrifyingly sad, but two Russians drove my friend to his mother's home in the middle of the night, shoved her in the car with her son, then was told to pay $10K (which was pure interest at that time) for her son's life. She did. A couple of weeks later he was dead, drowned about a hundred yards away his childhood home.
There was never ever ever ever any reasoning with him. The sheer number of girls he hustled, and by god the money they "gave" him, they were all permanently psychologically damaged after their encounters. Actually a very insane story. He was an amazing guy, literally everybody loved him. He walked into a room, a bar, a subway car... He dominated it instantly, like the lone hero out of some Western movie.
Sorry, I wax sentimental.
RIP Joni.
E: he actually came to me in those weeks leading up to his death and asked me, "if it was a matter of life and death, would you borrow me $10K?", and I answered, "No, because you'd be back next week asking for the same thing, and one day I'd say no and then you'd die anyway". We were always sarcastic and fuck you towards one another but like brothers you know. I didn't understand it at the time, but he was literally asking me to save his life. In hindsight, I don't know how to feel about it, because I was 100% right, yet, what kind of human wouldn't do anything to save their friend's life?
Fuck this woke some feels, sorry for ranting.
This is not aimed at you or anyone particular just my thoughts, but it's amazing how uneducated people are when it comes to finance. I know I am, and every day I learn a little more of how gullible I've been. I did live on the streets selling drugs though, and once you see how that game is played, you see how every fucking game is played. You do this and he does that and they do this and that for you and we all come out on top, right? Throw a couple of million dollar lawyers, accountants, legal experts, think tanks, connections to the monetary and industrial elite of the world, and stack the SEC with 92% former and future employees of yours, and suddenly the game makes sense without any need to get the academics.
It's not about the math, it's about who you know.
If anyone is skeptical then remember exactly what Clump was convicted of and what his punishment was.
Now he's crowdfunding that punishment away, and people think that somehow it's impossible that it's a scam because of financial regulations? Bruhs..
Worked for bitcoin. Maybe it's not a question of utility, but of branding.
Ooh, I'm gonna go see how long it takes to be banned.
Ugh it's so calculated too... Just as Reddit went full retard, the Dumpf stands there welcoming the exodus to his Glorious One Regime As A Service.
What happened to Reddit after the Digg! migration was that Reddit turned into shit. And now reddit passes the concentrated shit onto the next gaping mouth who also happens to be President (because let's not kid ourselves, that's how we all know it will play out- we are not fighting the Republicans, we are fighting the Russians and the Republicans). When will the centipede stop feasting on our feces?
NGL I've been there myself more than once. That is how I know. Winners never quit, quitters never win, but if you never quit and never win, you're a moron.
They will always have GME.
With the intellect of late stage Alfonse Capone.
>According to a tweet from Flightradar24, approximately one hour into the flight, the aircraft was in cruise flight at 29,100 feet when it abruptly lost altitude, entering a steep descent. The aircraft appeared to recover briefly at approximately 8,000 feet, then it reentered dive.
Some sources claim the sudden nose-dive was intentional because of manual crew input, but to me it sounds like the crew reacted to something extremely strange happening and tried to correct it ("let's click the AUTO button and get some rest. Oh shit."), especially since the aircraft "appeared to recover briefly at approx. 8,000 feet". Sounds a lot like all the other Boeing 737-x crashes where the pilots were surprised by the sudden nosedive, wrestled manual control back, only for the systems to kick in again into a dive.
I post this not as news, but as a point of interest for me personally.
As in did you hear that beat??
It was ROTUND!!
I don't exactly find a bunch of lemmy communities for WSB. Is there an expat community I don't know of?
Peace
Got this from (allegedly) Twitter
So right off the bat I can tell for sure that it ain't me trying to log on to that shite, but it doesn't leave me much choice either now does it?

Those are lethal amounts of heebiejeebies
In his diary, Jimmy Carter wrote, “There was indication of a nuclear explosion in the region of South Africa—either South Africa, Israel using a ship at sea, or nothing.” His administration would eventually decide, contrary to the evidence, that it was nothing.
Ann Archy @lemmy.world I break things. Then I put them back together. Then I break them again. Just to show I mean business.
