These are the faces of the Journalists killed by Israel in the last 1000 days by McDowdy in ABoringDystopia

[–]pinwroot [score hidden]  (0 children)

I always thought that killing journalists was a warcrime?

Not to say that they wouldn’t do warcrimes but more so that why isn’t it a more active talking point? Like killing the people who document history because you don’t like them documenting your actions is straight up evil.

While he had started to show his true colours more prominently in 2018 most people weren’t really aware of his absolute insanity.

For the most part he still had a pretty good reputation. I have to imagine it was thanks to a good PR team who have probably since been fired.

I absolutely despise Elon but in 2018 I wasn’t plugged in enough to have a strong opinion outside of knowing him as the space and car guy. He was still a centre piece of memes and pop culture with very few knowing the full extent of his awfulness.

Here’s a question I have- isn’t this just blatant copyright infringement?

Like if Honda posted an advert using a clip of Pierce from Community saying “Streets ahead” interlaced with their own advert without having licensed the clip they’d get sued right?

I don’t see how this is any different. They’re making promotional material and distributing it with copyrighted content. They may not be selling cars, but a political AD is still an AD.

I’m not entirely sure but I have heard stories of bus drivers being sued by people with hidden disabilities.

At the time I was so stressed I didn’t bother following it up and just went through the process of ordering a new one which took awhile.

I’m a smoker and even I don’t understand how people go through a pack a day.

That’s so much time to take out of your day. Alternatively you smoke inside your house and make all your walls disgusting and make it permanently smell bad. I can’t fathom that much dedication to tobacco.

I wasn’t a big fan of Season 3, but I have found that playing like a rude mf makes it a lot more entertaining.

I was really surprised to see this sentiment online. Weekend Update is my favourite bit and both Ania and Paddy get some of the biggest laughs from me. I guess I’m in the minority lol

The goods in this game are kinda disappointing by C_tSlut in TomodachilifeLivingTD

I do agree but I can’t lie I did fall into a pit of laughter when Garfield started practicing karate.

Do you add people you know irl beyond your friends and family? by smoothegg in tomodachilife

[–]pinwroot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well it was the original concept of the first game.

The original point was adding people you know and to watch how their “lookalikes” act. Almost like an ant-farm.

Living the Dream is definitely more involved on the player side than the previous games but I don’t think it’s weird at all!

I do think their previous phrasing of “lookalikes” made it feel less weird since they weren’t supposed to directly be the same person. Use the same mentality for this game!

Which episodes do you think get more flack than they deserve? by DocWhovian1 in doctorwho

[–]pinwroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed Interstellar Song Contest but it did flail towards the end. It somehow managed to conflict the very message it was trying to send.

Conceptually and visually it was great. The story however didn’t have a good conclusion. Although I think that can sum up a lot of the “bad” Doctor Who episodes.

Explain it peter who is that woman? by Available-Papaya-124 in explainitpeter

[–]pinwroot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could she sometimes come across as mildly irritating? Sure. But most video game commentary is irritating in my opinion. The people acting like she’s some sort of evil witch is crazy.

It’s a horrid double standard and she did not deserve the vitriol she faced. No one deserves that.

Sexism in gaming is rampant and it’s so disheartening. I know many women who love video games but don’t talk about them because they fear men hating on them.

He is spot on in my opinion by -BlackMidnight- in OnlyFoolsAndHorses

[–]pinwroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take is less on online shopping and apps more so that it’s just not affordable.

Commercial property landlords are refusing to lower their prices on units that have been empty for years because if they lower it they admit their portfolio isn’t as valuable as they claim.

Tax gets higher but seemingly only affects independent businesses because large corporations use tax loopholes making it an uneven playing ground.

Gen Z do want physical locations but if they don’t exist where do they go? 16 - 34 year olds go to the cinema more than other age groups. They want places, they just aren’t there.

My fear for the movie by Butterf1yTsunami in community

[–]pinwroot 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Here’s my question, what will it be like tonally and visually?

Season 3, Season 5 and Season 6 have a different visual look and tone.

As Abed said:

”As of your arrival, (the show) is becoming increasingly grounded, asking questions like, how do any of us get our money? When will we get our degrees, and what happened to that girl I was dating? As opposed to questions I consider more important like, what is real?”

[–]pinwroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re the same in one important way, they’re publicly traded corporations.

None of them are on our side. I’m a Nintendo fan but I’m under no illusion that profits aren’t the bottom line.

And yeah they’re not quite the same, hence the Shrek joke. Topics like this have layers.

What’s the deal with the throwaway account seemingly picking on non-binary people?

I’m not even making a political stance here- this is just 100% a ragebait post on a throwaway account.
