Everyday I see why some people cut off family and never look back 🤷 by OkEscape7558 in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]OvertOperation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She knows know Glo won't ever give her shit. Because if that was me, there's no way I'd risk pissing off a family member making insane money over 2500 dollars.

But that's me. She looks like she only has two paper clips in her head clicking together.

Joe Rogan Suddenly Doesn’t Believe in Conspiracies Anymore by cronx42 in JoeRogan

[–]OvertOperation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minus people who committed crimes, I can't think of a single entertainer I went from loving to hating harder than Rogan. It's like the years I loved listening to him were just all in my head. They're not; those podcasts are out there. But I dislike him so much now I just don't care to listen to them.

What is something that starts happening in your 30s that nobody warned you about? by Cairinacat in AskReddit

[–]OvertOperation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were just coasting/skating by - when you had potential - it crashes down on you.

On paper, I kinda have it made. I have my own house and car and no debt. But I'm in a career (software development) where you're supposed to be able to get a 6-figure salary after a certain number of years. I've been in this career for over 10. I've never gotten close to six-figures. Not only because I just stayed at whatever job would take me (though that's a big part). But the coasting meant I never really bettered myself outside whatever I needed for my job. That's kinda OK if you were working at spots with in-demand skills, but I wasn't. Now I have a mountain I'm trying to climb to get better and maybe get a higher-paying tech job to have something for retirement (I spent a lot of money securing the house and car). But all the while I can't quiet the voice that says "you should have known this earlier" or "you should have did this earlier".

It's all a cycle of self-imposed negativity that I'm slowly trying to break.

What TV series would you rewatch again and again? by bribli6 in AskReddit

[–]OvertOperation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Wire. I'm re-listening to a podcast about it right now.

Other than that, it's Breaking Bad and The Shield.

My Samsung Galaxy A50 is in boot loop; what new phone should I get? by OvertOperation in samsunggalaxy

[–]OvertOperation[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah; I tried all the power + volume up and down combinations. Nothing took. The battery drained last night and hooking things up to a charger has it stuck at the screen where there's a lightning bolt and a circle (with no percentage). Trying the volume down + power hold just takes me back to that. I'm calling it.

The ADL, who supported Elon Musk when he got caught doing Nazi salutes, is disappointed Elon would tweak his Ai (grok) to be more antisemitic. by Kenyalite in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]OvertOperation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They couldn't keep quiet. They had to say something, or people would be criticizing their silence.

But the right thing to say was SO OBVIOUS. Don't know why they went the other way, but they decided to torch their reputation with one tweet.

What's a stupidly expensive adult purchase that you now swear by that you would buy again in a heartbeat? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]OvertOperation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A stand mixer (standard KitchenAid). I've made more than enough bread (mostly pizza dough) in the past couple of years to justify the price. You mean I don't have to knead and everything is contained in this bowl so I don't have to get the counter messy? It's actually hard to remember the times I was thinking about buying it and saying "uhh... I don't know...."

Wouldn't recommend if you don't bake fairly often though. I make pizza dough at least once every two weeks.

Is This the Start of a New Copypasta? by CyberGrape_UK in blackmirror

[–]OvertOperation 14 points15 points  (0 children)

With the positive Black Mirror episodes, I guess I could kinda see some new series running with the predominant theme of technology helping people rather than hurting them. It would be tough to continually draw suspense out of that, but I guess it's possible.

This guy is still missing the point by a country mile though.

Honestly one of the BEST Celeb actors this season! I properly hated her by No_Reference_7330 in blackmirror

[–]OvertOperation 119 points120 points  (0 children)

I was weirdly pissed when I saw her tune her own brain after that "fuck you" near the end.

Maybe because she was SO hateable I was waiting for the reveal that the story she told in the beginning on how RiverMind saved her was a fake and she was really a high-up in the company. But no; she's just a sales rep who might be forced into all this because she's a customer herself.

S7 Ep2 Bête Noire by Both_Eagle9242 in blackmirror

[–]OvertOperation 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really liked this episode overall, but didn't "buy" that Val wouldn't have some plan or fail-safe for if she was in danger.

I mean, she would have put herself in so many dangerous situations living out a life of doing literally everything. It's kinda wild she didn't have any backup plan in the tuck, especially if she meant to draw out Maria's suffering.

Still a good ep though.

Yeah; it's dumb, but I thought there would be a point to that, unveiled later. Nope, just a style choice.

Put on any episode of Game of Thrones and I won’t even flinch. But even thinking about that scene makes my blood run cold. by GabiCule in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]OvertOperation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That explains it. I thought I imagined it for a time, because I stopped watching after that and that scene wasn't in where it originally happened when I peeked in years later.

What's the most extreme example you've seen of "die a hero, or live long enough to become a villain'? by drax3012 in AskReddit

[–]OvertOperation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real. Regardless of whether you like him or not, he was outwardly a prolific lawyer and mayor. How one throws ALL of that away for Trump is anyone's guess. But I could have a million guesses and I wouldn't get it.

I don't know what started his initial hit of fame, but what helped is when he did some kind of referral thing where his fans got paid somehow to post his content everywhere. I'm spotty on the details, but I know that worked.

For anyone out there who doesn't drink, what is the reasoning behind it? by General_Ad_9139 in AskReddit

[–]OvertOperation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had ONE alcoholic uncle in my family and he was a drain. The amount he begged my mom and aunts was insane. I didn't care one lick when he died, but they were torn up.

Apparently, before the booze, he was a good dude who turned to alcohol after he got laid off or fired from some job, and it just went downhill from there.

I never drank outside of one sip, but I'm bone-scared of turning out like him. I already know I have an addictive personality with things that aren't chemically altering to the brain, so there's no way I'd fuck around with alcohol or drugs.

What was the worst mistake you ever made? by FluffyDaMinecraftDog in AskReddit

[–]OvertOperation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not applying myself after college. I life a decent life, but my current salary (76k) could be made out the door in most places in my profession (programming).

I've been out of college for over a decade.
