The Hobbit. Probably not the worst movies with not the worst bastardisation (that'd be The Dark Tower for me), but I simply can't wrap my mind around the overbloated monstrosity that the Hobbit TRILOGY is. Like why would anyone do this, it felt like it's in the bag, they got Peter Jackson, they already made LotR to great success, why do we suddenly need wacky wheels with cartoon CG goblins in 48 FPS for some reason... It doesn't even match neither the tone of the book nor the tone of LotR movies.

People wear shoes indoors? That sounds utterly barbaric to me lol

Such a stupid system. How is Ukraine unsuitable for EU and NATO membership until it passes some reforms and Hungary is a part of EU and NATO while actively sabotaging and hating on both?

Godot FTW

Would've been newsworthy if it wasn't the case

48 hours without water? Absolutely not. There is a high probability of exiting a cripple or dead, at least for me. Not to mention my medicine.

Most of these hit close to home, except that I'm obsessively punctual, check my messages even when there are no new notifications and my file system is a work of art that I can spend hours organizing. But that goddamn chair though...

Touch controls in a car is definitely up there among the absolute dumbest ideas of the century.

Jesus fuck that's brutal even for a desert.

Let me paraphrase: Gen Z refuse to take any bullshit from deluded boomers.

Tradition, mainly. It's so ingrained in the majority of cultures that you can't simply uproot it with a law. Although it should be a more controlled substance, no doubt about that. It's addictive, debilitating, incredibly harmful and it simply destroys more lives than literally any drug known to man.

My first ISP in the late 90s was Skynet Online.

Piece of shit

I think absolutely yes. I'd give up a lot to move to Finland or some shit just because the weather there sounds like haven to me. I live in the Middle East and it's not as much the heat that kills me (it's "only" a factor for about a third of a year and it sucks too of course) its the goddamn dust storms, I'm so sensitive to these things. I still have no idea why some people like living in deserts under a scorching Sun, with all the sand and dust in the air, it's dreadful, not to mention the nature is super boring without proper fields, forests and rivers and stuff.

Behold Chinese colonialism.

Yep, pretty much any mind altering substance can teach you that. It is one thing to philosophise about it, but another thing entirely to experience it first hand. Can also be experienced through meditation (especially Buddhist jhana meditation), although it's a skill that takes time to learn.

Daily reminder that Kerch bridge isn't civilian infrastructure, it's first of all a strategic war logistics artery. It is also an illegal building on Ukrainian territory.

Working FEWER overtime hours is now considered quitting? How did we get here?

I like it when it's bad news they call it a 1.7 trillion jet, but when it's good news they call it an 80 million one.

Dunno I can't stand the music I listened to in my teenage years.

He didn't though.

Sounds like something Elon Musk would say.

Tankies love fascist dictatorships. That's their whole shtick.

Not a chance. It's a very valuable CCP propaganda tool, they're not going to just hand it over to the literal enemy. Well it could technically happen if Kotick agrees to kneel and kiss the ring but then it wouldn't really be his company anyway.

I always thought peanuts were nuts and grew on trees. Oh how utterly, devastatingly naive I've been...

It's probably the most wasteful way of providing internet imaginable since they have to send satellites up by the dozen every year for them to burn in the atmosphere only several years lates. Yeah I don't think it's a good business model at all, especially considering they haven't been able to turn a profit and rely on subsidies.

About time. Roblox is all kinds of unethical.

Most RSS feeds suck these days because sites just half ass those and put a link and 1 sentence inside, if even that.

That's his entire business model. Just look at starship, hyper loop, solar roofs and Tesla semi. Overblown Tesla stock bubble too. All complete vaporware, but he profits greatly from the hype alone. He belongs in prison as he is a classic conman.

Pathetic little bitch.

I hope Gaben outlives me.

Congrats to Tesla for making the worst truck imaginable. Shit's hilarious, too bad it's not a joke.

Of course he would. Screw Ubisoft.

I spent my some of my childhood in communal housing where we had 1 toilet, 1 bathtub and 1 fridge for 6 families and half of the walls were curtains. My parents and grandparents never told me anything positive about USSR, it was all nepotism and scarcity and "know your place peasant" type of deal, they all thought the 90s was godsend despite banditry, but even they think what is currently happening in Russia (and has been happening for the last decade and a half) is on another level of awful than the worst that USSR had. The most terrifying thing is that soviet cheeses and sausages were absolutely ghastly.

Cocksucker.

PowerShell 7 is pretty sweet ngl

It happens all the time. Hamas and Islamic Jihad don't care for civilians or conventions and never did, all they care about is literally "killing Jews". Next question people should be asking: "why are they launching rockets from a hospital's parking lot? Isn't that a warcrime?" And the answer is yes and always has been.
