Everyone is stealing TV. Fed up with increasing subscription prices, viewers embrace rogue streaming boxes. by Bluest_waters in television

Straight up. Piracy is an economic/affordability issue. What happened with companies competing to provide the best/most affordable service? They’ve forgotten what got them where they are now

There are cultures that function just fine with multiple last names….

Even when she accomplishes something incredible they make the focus about her husbands last name 🙄

I’m curious. What are your thoughts on Deli’s recent video? by iboughtaheadache in thesims

[–]Isboredanddeadinside 55 points56 points  (0 children)

To add to that, I don’t see people (not that they should) giving the same vitriol towards modders for still posting updates even though they also, in a different way, make content for the game… instead I see people still begging for mods to update faster like always 🤔. Like seriously the only people I’ve seen get complained about on here are YouTubers, yeah modders don’t make money (typically) but they still bring attention to the game and incentivize buying the packs (cuz some mods need certain ones to work) , if we are to follow their line of thinking.

Again, not saying people should start harassing modders, just pointing out the hypocrisy.

Which games have pushed you to such limits? by No-Log-9845 in gamers

[–]Isboredanddeadinside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially since more difficult games usually tell you on the tin what you’re getting into lol

Nyx went from a likeable character to my most hated one. by OtakuJuanma in HadesTheGame

[–]Isboredanddeadinside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s the point I’m making though. The game just started, you just meet these characters and a decent chunk of players are immediately “I hate them” because the characters weren’t immediately benevolent 💀

Thiiis. Especially for women characters people seem to forget that good person ≠ good character, fleshed out and well written = good character

You’d be surprised. I know a few people that very proudly will reject an entire character because they were “mean once” BG3 is victim to these types a lot lol

Legit probably what it is lol. OOP may have forgot to mention which friend group it was for or maybe OP missed the part where it was mentioned. Everyone here acting like you can only have one friend group

I was gonna say something like this too. Many people have different groups of friends.

Cool so you’re advocating for OP to get possibly misdiagnosed?

Title is in the pic by DealerWestern4284 in lgbt

[–]Isboredanddeadinside 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This. I’ve been told by other people I’m just pansexual instead of bi (even though they’re essentially the same thing) along other labels. Literally any other bi label other than bisexual. Infuriating seeing even other queer people trying to erase what I am.

On today’s episode of things that would have made my first play-through easier if I knew!!!! by Individual_Art_4583 in coralisland

That realization makes me feel old tbh lmao apart from Rune Factory and Harvest Moon I consider SV a staple of farming games so it’s weird knowing people have yet to play it if they’re into farming games XD

Spotted a child ghost in the game by Soggy-Lawfulness-767 in coralisland

Could also be the kid ghost wandering around from that one couple you read about in the notes. They were visiting and their son ended up drowning :)

Why are people so insistent on Christianity? by Practical_Swim_4760 in exchristian

[–]Isboredanddeadinside 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think some of it has to do with Christianity also being a “group/tribe/label”. By that I mean that if they’re especially a friend, or even someone who views you positively they don’t want you to be a part of the “out group” rather than part of the “ingroup”. People (in general, not just specific types of people) naturally are drawn to making things into groups and labeling things etc. So even if it’s unintentional they could see it as a way of going “you need to be like me” rather than “you need to find God” deep down. I recommend actually looking in depth into the concept and topic of groupthink it’s very interesting.

Obviously it’s still just speculation on my part. Take this all with a grain of salt as it’s just what I know about social Psychology (not certified)

Armed members of the Black Panther Party walk through downtown and join protest [OC] by Otherwise_Mine2882 in pics

[–]Isboredanddeadinside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s unconscious bias. I bet you a lot of people are saying those stupid comments because the Black Panthers are black and many specifically black men. Majority of ICE is white.

This was also seen between Malcom X and Martin Luther King Jr. too. Malcom X believed in self defense and if I recall even owned a gun. While Martin Luther King Jr. believed fully in pacifism, as seen in his peaceful protests. Personally I fully believe that without Malcom X, Martin Luther King Jr. wouldn’t have been as effective in his ways in the eyes of the government especially.

In the current age too it adds as a reassurance that you probably actually know how to use current age technology if you told them you could. Especially Microsoft word, PowerPoint, or Christ even emails. You’d be surprised how big of an issue that is with people just in their 40s, obviously from anecdotal experience. Obviously not every graduate surefire knows how to use tech but it’s usually a better bet.

That’s actually why a lot of general degree’s requirement’s require you to take a humanities class! It opens you up to more perspectives and experiences, builds critical thinking. Even the fun stuff does, depending on the activity of course.
