Some of the idle clicker games are fun as a little timewaster I spend two minutes a day on, but they’re exclusively mobile games for me. I have a billion better options if I’m actually at my computer.

Old School Runescape players: “How much does that cost again?”

Molly’s Game also includes Civil Forfeiture. I wouldn’t call it a major part of the plot, but it’s definitely there and described as bullshit.

Wait, wait, what was the controversy with Dark Souls? Did I miss something there?

I am so sorry to do this to you but it was 2010.

Technically, it’s a short story by Neil Gaiman. Practically, it’s definitely Narnia fanfiction except just legally distinct enough Neil Gaiman didn’t get sued for it.

It’s basically shorthand for, “it’s kinda fucked up that they left Susan Pevensie out of Narnia towards the end just because she liked lipstick and dudes now.”

Really? From what I’ve seen gallium just makes it brittle. It doesn’t make it melt.

It’s a slur so… saying it is what makes people think you’re racist lol.

I generally assume if someone is using the n-word anonymously that they’re either black or a racist.

It’s not like people have arbitrarily decided that only asians can say the word refrigerator- there’s history behind the word.

I pay for a single streaming service, and that’s just because it directly supports the people running the service and making the content.

Nebula?

Yeah, I don’t like Linus all that much but I do enjoy LTT’s content overall. He tends to drastically and publicly overreact to literally any criticism, and then the rest of the team gets involved and he walks it back. Whether they legitimately change his mind or just convince him he’s gotta look like he’s changed his mind I have no clue.

My favorite instances of Linus are when he’s an absolute idiot on the WAN show and we just get to see Luke’s reaction live. The hard-r thing was absolutely hilarious.

In 2022 he tweeted this.

That might be what you’re remembering, but he’s definitely addressed his views on piracy during the WAN show several times as well.

Edit: someone else posted the full context elsewhere in the thread. I’d link to that comment, but idk how on lemmy so here: https://archive.ph/VavFc

No. The owner of the media has already been paid in both of those scenarios. It makes zero difference to them whether you’re watching the ads.

Adblocking, on the other hand, is actively hurting the owner of the media because they get paid based on how many ads they can serve. If you block the ad, it isn’t served, and they don’t get paid.

Personally, I definitely think it’s piracy. I also still do it.

As someone who has never even seen it until now, it really does look like plywood.

Ok I’m ngl that sounds like excellent.

Installed, I love all the themes! Thanks!

I’m gonna be real with you. I do the same shit. I don’t understand something? Well, I have a phone on me so unless it’s horribly complicated I’m about to understand it.

We aren’t normal in that respect. Most people are happy with their ignorance, or at least that’s my observation so far.

Jeez, could you be more of a blatant troll?

Instead of a skeleton inside him it’s just an entire second person. He’s a Russian nesting person.

DOOT DOOT JORDAN YOUR SKELETON WANTS OUT

I’m not even going to look. This one comment tells me enough lmao

Okay, I’ve been convinced. Which of her books should I start with?
