Yes, I know of this one too. I used to have watched a lot of the “You Make It, We Skate It” videos which was a nice interaction between fans and the channel.

But then some drama and there had been numerous dramasodes happening prior to the warehouse being destroyed, where Aaron went away and it was taken over by some other guy where the videos were nothing but back-to-back SKATE games which got old quick. Aaron comes back and things seemed promising but I think more stuff happened where one of the members turned out to be a pedo. Lance ended up leaving, but he too is kindof a scientologist as well.

Then the big blow-off with the warehouse where there was a series of miscommunications, there was some grifting going on where anything the channel got monetarily and other financial sources, it got funneled into Scientology.

It was a trainwreck.

I see Trump’s terms the same way as I saw Bush’s terms.

Bush and Trump were the blatant, chaotic and incomprehensible senile fools on the surface. It’s the people they put in their administration are the ones running the show.

I loved that movie’s version of King Ghidorah, I liked any and all of the monster scenes. The problem is that it fell to the Transformers issue, where they focused on the humans than the monsters. I didn’t care about the parents and child conflict but it tried butting in the story at many moments.

Or why Azog was there, a character who died out many years before the Hobbit journey even began. Like was Smaug, the Necromancer and the Goblin King not enough for antagonists? That’s quite stacked if you tell me.

Probably for the best. I just can’t imagine Will Smith being Neo.

I believe it’s already happening, but it’s not as straightforward as people imagined it’d be.

Like for example, the healthcare costs. I think that’s a filter to see who can survive by paying the absurd amounts. Therefore, people will die if they can’t.

Recruit people for the military, send them off into battles, eh a few hundred or a thousand die - more filtering.

Mishandling pandemics and ignoring solemn advice in how to handle them, 350k people died, what do you say President? “It is what it is” just more filtering.

So my point is, is people need to drop these fantasies of countries who actively plan to wipe out populations by sheer force and throwing bombs around.

It’s already happening because we’re dealing with con artists and cunning megalomaniacs.

Not really. A lot of it is just happenstances and inconvenient coincidences.

I do have some themes going in my life though that could make it seem that way.

• Anytime I get something good or things are looking too good to be true, there’s always something horrible or bad waiting around the corner to ruin that momentum.

• Anytime I am randomly crying or completely angry, it sometimes can mean someone I know is either dead or suffering as proven from the times I got emotional to eventually find an obituary of someone I knew who died.

• Irony loves to rear its head in my life now and then. In the past whenever I’ve said I never wanted to work at a fast food company, I ended up working at one.

• Anytime I am out to get one thing or do one thing such as a single errand, it always turns out to be the most frustrating experience ever. For example, if I needed to go out and grab one product I forgot to get or needed to get, I’ll end up having to store-hop several stores before finally getting it and during that whole trip, I’m dealing with dumbass drivers and even dumber pedestrians. As well as dealing with idiotic shoppers too.

• Anytime I needed something for emergency situations or to double-check something to be sure of it, suddenly the services I use are not available or down for maintenance.

• Currently, I’m dealing with a series of matters that consist of things requiring me to put more effort into them. Like having to double-click things for buttons that are usually one-click or fighting with things that appear to be broken when they worked flawlessly before.

I remember the backlash he got from that with the IBM PC prototype. He didn’t handle the reception well if I recall, having made one big or two ‘woe is me’ videos.

There’s something about that guy’s demeanor that I never liked, like he fits the quirky, socially inept, wimpy kind of a nerd. It’s astounding he even has a wife at all, much less one he fucked to have a kid with.

He never shuts up about his crappy games too.

Three…movies…

For an otherwise 350-page book.

I’m still not over that. My solution to the Hobbit mess was, go for broke and make one 3-hour film. If the LOTR movies were long and got extended editions, why not Hobbit? No it got 3 whole movies and so much stuff got crammed in there that honestly shouldn’t have been in there in the first place.

Holy shit that just sounds like some conservative, gun-toting, military cosplaying wanna-be tough guy’s wet dream in the form of a novel.

The Bible

I skimmed it but all I ever saw was just a bunch of begat this and begat that with some quotations sprinkled in between.

And this fucking thing is partly responsible for why numerous things are going wrong with humans today and humans of history.

Yeah it annoyed me when I noticed a couple of my comments disappeared after posting to those posts. I thought people were reporting and mods taking them down. I’d check the modlog and nothing. But, it is suspicious about this kind of behavior that’s been happening and again, it’s annoying. Why would anyone do that?

I think the next time we see posts like them, is to take their idea, re-word them and post them. At least that way, they’ll remain up for people who want to contribute than wasting so much of everyone’s time trying to participate.

Yes - eat the phone.

I wouldn’t think so. Because after school wraps up, sure I’ll have a few locals left but as far as expanding beyond them is concerned, I would be a hermit by now with incredible contempt for society.

Gaia Online needs to just shut down by this point. I can’t count how many times that place has had chances to bring itself back up on its feet, but they don’t listen. Lanzer allowed the site to be bought out a few years by some corporate shithead between 2013 and 2017, before getting it back. It’s been 8 years since Lanzer has had it back and not a lot of shit has happened.

They worried more about getting flash games working, that barely ANYONE played anyways, than rebooting the economic system they had going. They preferred being politically correct by listening to like some 3 people who had issue with an item because it reminded them of Nazis. Granted the item in question was Nazi-related, but it was a tie-in movie item that had Nazi Zombies being killed. It wasn’t about promoting or supporting Nazis but sure lets listen to these 3 snowflakes and go through the trouble of re-tooling the items.

Than say, doing the hundreds and thousands of community-requests that are far more worthwhile.

The community has devolved into people coming back from X amount of years and expecting everyone to roll the red carpet out for them everytime. Redundant nostalgia posts. Boring posts. Troll posts.

I’ve been on the platform for 18 of its years, I’ve seen its best and its worst. I feel it is time to put it out of its misery.

I heard about that in the 2000s when they did that.

And that was a solution to the piracy ordeal they were fluffing about. But then they got rid of the shows being put online, just so they can bitch about piracy years later.

Yeah because Cape Town Stadium - that sounds like it’s an establishment of community. Like the name is named after something that represented that community.

But when you hear DHL Stadium, it’s like they expect you to go there, after paying tickets and be thinking about “WHA, I THINK I WANT…I WANT TO SHIP SOMETHING BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT BUT I HAVE THIS STRONG DESIRE TO SHIP SOMETHING WITH DHL! PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY!”

That’s what they want anyways.

I roll my eyes everytime a stadium is named after some company, it’s just a reminder of how radioactive capitalism is in america.

Because they tend to breed assholes there.

I’ve also noted that people from lemmy.zip slrpnk.net sh.itjust.works blahaj.zone programming.dev also have some argumentative assholes too.

I hope the trend of showing old movies continues for a long time. It gives people the opportunity to experience what it’s like to watch good classics on a big screen.
