Uh… Take away the ironic “men’s rights” part and you are your dad. Unless you’re actively ensuring your feeds are not algorithm content and the parts of the internet you’re hanging out in aren’t socially reinforcing…

Otherwise, we call these “echo chambers”. And funny enough is that those in them create the most “me vs them” content, all the while constantly reassuring “the audienice” that they’re not in one.

But, yeah. I’m sure I’m wrong and helping your dad to navigate through the ongoing onslaught of media is something you’ve tried.

Edit: GOD DAMN I’m so self- righteous and sassy tonight. Ignore the sass. Get the vibe. A apologise for the sass, but I won’t delete because the vibe.

Point is, you and your dad have two opposing feeds. Recognise that they are feeds and move on from that.

You can set user labels for them. That’s fun. Just some stupid quirky thing that makes you laugh whenever the respond to you.

Sometimes I still start typing, but just to realise a few words in that it’s entirely pointless. But usually I don’t bother blocking.

My block list isn’t very big (14 if you exclude NSFW accounts), so if you’re on it, you’re something of a special level of toxic.

Let’s say that you’ve just significantly upgraded your GPU. If you were getting the most out of your CPU with your previous GPU, there’s a good chance that your new GPU will be held back by that older component. So now, you need a new CPU or some percentage of your new GPU’s performance is wasted. Except, getting a new CPU that’s worth the upgrade usually means getting a new motherboard, which might also require new RAM, and so on.

This guy’s friends should keep him away from computers and just give him an iPad to play with.

I envy people that can sleep like that. According to my watch, I managed just shy of a combined 90mins of sleep on a 16h flight and I was trying to sleep for most of it. This after I knew I’d struggle so sleep starved myself to four hours of sleep the night before 🫤

Meanwhile my friend successfully opted to nap in the car while I did a quick grocery shop…

If I’m not lateral, it ain’t happening. I’m open to any tips, but I’ve probably tried them all besides dosing.

Wow. Just in time.

I am starting to see individuals as how dependent they are on society.

The good news is that I don’t think we need to worry about a “,World War”. The bad news is that when WW3 inevitably happens, it’ll be the worst waste of lives yet.

I don’t know where I was going with that, but that’s where we’re going.

More than that. Planes are just fancy flying cattle trucks. A lot of the time I’m in one it’s so I can get to a destination I’ll be hiking for several days lol. I’m all for Team Pilgrimage.

I’m sure it’s fine. Most Christians aren’t Christians anyway, especially if this takes place in the States.

It is. Humans aren’t forbidden and we’d be considered a clean animal.

I 100% RDR and killing cougars with a knife still haunts me. It’s exactly as it sounds. Go do melee combat with a gigantic pissed off cat that almost always comes in pairs, sometimes a trio.

The main quest was terrible. Should never center the plot on the player when there’s custom creation and open world. It’s forcing a backstory or behaviour onto the player even if they don’t want it.

I played a big Michael Clarke Duncan brute rolling melee as Idiot Savant. The intro and main quest was entirely incompatible with character, full of things they wouldn’t have done, would do, or should do.

“When I grow up, I want to be a stereotype!”

And Fallout 4 was kind of mediocre.

I thought this wasn’t a legal requirement of US carriers, sharing their towers for emergencies. Maybe it’s a state thing.

My head says stuff in other languages all the time because a word’s easier or funner to say.

I’ve learned anything involving animals doing unusual things through night vision video or image is AI slop, aimed at a Facebook trend surging in 2024-2025, possibly still going.

Usually it’s something stupid like kangaroos or rabbits on a trampoline, a racoon riding on a dog’s back, or a bear and cat snuggling.

Dogs are incredible at reading facial and body language. It’s why they tend to go into their submissive, “Oh shit, I’ve fucked up.” sit and stare when they see your reaction. Most of the time they’re not sure what the specific thing was that they’ve done to upset you, just that they can tell by your stern face that they’ve done something you’re unimpressed by. This is why it’s important to catch them in the act, rather than getting mad later. They won’t know if it was the pot plant, the slipper, where they were sleeping, their bark, etc. just that one of the many thing was not good.

That’s very assumptuous. Assuming things is just gambling.

In truth, I have no idea what quote you’re referring to and 0 ≠ 4/5; since this is about as far as I made it first time at film class before leaving. While the second is marginally better, it is much the same. I don’t think I’ve ever made it to the third; there’s been a few attempts and chances over a couple decades bringing my total Godfather minutes to an unfortunately but substantially above average amount—especially the front 120 mins or so.

This is quite on contrast to your “so, you…” styled assumption. It’s better to not be like that.

I’ve tried to watch it several times but always shut it off.

It’s a movie that’s constantly aware of itself and tries to push that onto the audience through self-conscious directing—which explains all the nepotism in casting too—and hat makes for disengaging storytelling and characters. And then there’s the cinematography that tries too hard, so it’s more a technical exercise than an effective one, but was successful in its era for that uniqueness.

Not to nrglect it’s an awful portrayal of organised crime, much like The Hurt Locker is at war. And Luca Brasi, ugh. It’s just awful.

In the modern day, I’ve understood the trilogy to be a go-to for “movie buffs” that are vulnerable to ad populum.
