I bought a toner printer in 2020 and I’m still on the first replacement cart. I have over 2000 pages printed.

Considering I spent $80, plus $40 on the new two pack of toner, I consider it money well spent.

I do wish I had bought a laser printer though… There are things I would like to begin printing that will be several thousand pages after it’s all finished. Mostly reference materials.

Feel free to turn a blind eye to reality, not all of us are priveleged enough to do so.

I still have the VHS I recorded it on back in the day. No vcr, but it’s sitting in a box in my closet, waiting for the day when I want to see commercials for SG1 Mondays and other Sci fi shows.

Also the DVD, since I actually want to watch it every so often…

I keep introducing it to new people, but it seems to be a bit of a niche interest.

It must be nice, living in a fantasy world where good people win because they’re good and the bad guys get to sit in jail for being bad.

I would love it if we lived in an ideal world where everyone plays by the rules.

I am not naive enough to think we live in that world.

If it’s only mildly interesting based on a “watch it right this second or never again”? Maybe 5 minutes, max. If it doesn’t capture my interest by minute 5, and I can’t find a summary anywhere (NOT “pOwErEd bY AI”)

Is it a video about prehistoric humans, their civilizations, a lore video on one of my favorite franchises, or a nature documentary? The current record is 6 hours and 38 minutes.

Well, shit.

I think Putler figured out how to make Trump slam his foot down about Ukranian support.

Dementia Don has already praised this war criminal many times, he believes Putin is a poster child for being a strong man and great leader.

In the current world, we don’t care about what you should and shouldn’t do to protect yourself, but only about what appears to be proper

We can’t actually DO anything, because they haven’t officially declared an open war, and defending yourself against attacks just wouldn’t be proper

Now please go quietly protest away from anyone that considers it an inconvenience. It’s what’s proper, you know.

Note: I am from the US and when I say “we” I mean the collective peoples of earth, not to indicate I am from the UK.

I used to play black ops 1 a shitload. I was fresh out of highschool and it was my first online game after getting internet. I already liked FPS games and this was interactive FPS with actual skilled people instead of shitty bullet sponge bots.

As for why people love them so much now? I have no idea. I’m sure I also wouldn’t have cared for them if I had played online games earlier in life.

I’d much rather have a compelling story nowadays.

Damn, that’s the same bass-ackwards logic that record companies use to say piracy makes them lose money.

Spoiler alert: the majority of people pirating your stuff would not have otherwise purchased it. You have lost nothing.

Similarly, the majority of people using gamepass to play the game would absolutely not have bought the game, especially since it’s the same game as last time, with new names and skins.

For instance: the last call of duty game I bought was MW3. I only played black ops 2 when someone got two copies for their birthday and gave one to me I only remember playing for the zombies. I have played a total of less than 30 minutes, from startup screen to shutdown, of all the call of duties since then. Absolutely no chance in hell I’d buy another one. But I’m sure Microsoft would have included me trying it out as a potential lost sale of every one of them.

I love the idea of Objects that can do things we can’t explain.

The Lost Room is probably what got me started, and Control really scratches that itch. I absolutely love the idea of The Oldest House.

0. Massive amounts of politicians and car company execs gleefully hopping into bed with fossil fuel companies for longer than almost anyone currently living has been around.

not a vibrator, it’s a “personal massager” and how dare you suggest such a device could be used sexually!

When you tell a funny story from your childhood but instead of laughing, your friend hugs you and says “I’m so sorry you went through that” :

It’s Sony, a Japanese company.

Why would they care about what people in private

Lol. Lmao, even.

Sony cares a bit too much about how people use the things they own that Sony made.

Japan is famous for its laws and customs regarding nudity, sex, porn, accessories, etc… Anything you might expect a stereotypical prude to clutch their pearls over, really. It’s simply gasp too obscene!

Rude is the coworker who thinks their shirts meant to antagonize anyone left of the US version of “center” are hilarious, rude are the coworkers who talk shit about trans people on break, rude are those who spend every conversation saying “mentally ill people should be locked up and oh by the way trans people are mentally ill”, rude are the ones who make the LGBTQ employees scared that one day they’ll just come to work and find a parking lot full of people waiting to jump them because the government said it’s legal.

I consider myself quite polite when these things happen in my workplace and I’m not slashing tires or torching cars, and instead all I do is say “hey that’s not okay and here’s why…”

Doesn’t stop HR from coming and telling me I need to be respectful of my coworkers opinions. (HR guy is a democrat, but like… One of those “if you’re being oppressed please resist quietly and peacefully within the confines of the oppressive laws made specifically to target you” kind of liberals)

Remember kids: the standard you walk past is the standard you accept.

It doesn’t, they’re conflating a country that was squeezed into existence in the 1940s with a religion and/or ethnic group.

Which is exactly what the shit bag politicians who are genociding Palestinians WANT people to do, as any criticism can be waved away by calling it “antisemitism”

I was gonna ask “which kind” but it’s definitely both.

Men will LITERALLY construct an entire persona based around their phobias as a result of trauma over witnessing the murder of their parents during a mugging orchestrated by crime bosses and spend millions of dollars on toys and gadgets to act out revenge fantasies and calling it vigilante justice rather than go to therapy.

This gave me quite the giggle.

Unfortunately, I have no one in my life who will think it’s funny.
