xts,

The ability to go “spectator mode” and see many events throughout history unfold in front of your face would be an amazing power.

xts,

It’s not, at least not on a Mac. It refreshes automatically, I honestly haven’t refreshed my apps in months outside of upgrading to iOS 17.

xts,

I don’t understand that to begin with. They tout the whole “connected universe” angle but then if you look even slightly behind the curtain it’s obvious there’s nobody overseeing the lore between projects. Not when one is beginning while another is undergoing reshoots and rewrites. It’s not possible and it shows, just like how Tiamut has been sticking out of the ground in universe for like 2 years and all we’ve gotten is a joke reference in She-Hulk lmao.

xts,

Nah if it was good content people wouldn’t care. If it was truly “superhero fatigue” Invincible wouldn’t be anywhere near as popular as it is. It came out in a post-Endgame world and is one of the biggest shows on television.

People will clearly happily still watch super hero content, IF it’s good.

xts,

Wow it’s true. Linux users are like vegans. You never have to wonder because they’ll tell you they are whether you care or not

Have you ever opened the start menu? There are ads there. Unless you’re using some release like LTSC or have a network-level Adblock there are ads in there. For TikTok, candy crush, Disney+, etc. it’s like the preinstalled bloat on some androids, they’re just ads you have to annoyingly remove from your start menu.

I’m sure you have the options disabled that show this kind of stuff but it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Anyone who is not tech savvy (99% of the population) will have no clue how to turn this stuff off or that it’s even an option.

I guarantee any PC sold by any big box store or on Amazon will come with this stuff enabled by default.

xts,

The setting is still on my Windows 10 PC. It’s still relevant since they’re still shipping it with Windows.

xts,

lol didn’t parts of California flood last year/earlier this year? Why even bother calling them “10-year floods” when we can expect them annually or even more frequently

xts,

Yep. They use and sell your data whether you block ads or not. So they’re still making money off of those of us who block ads. I don’t owe them anything lmao. It’s sad seeing so many people in other threads defending YouTube/Google while they’re increasing the price of premium and locking shit like background play and higher bitrates behind a paywall all while selling out data. Nah fuck em

xts,

These kinds of remakes are for the original fans as much as a new audience. There are MANY people who write off animation entirely.

This is to expose new people to the story and hopefully some of those people will check out the original and see that animation is for everyone not just children.

xts,

You literally cannot trust a word any of these clowns say. After Roe was struck down they said “we’ll just leave it up to the states” and now that a majority of Americans are making it clear state by state that they want the right to control their own bodies they’ve once again changed their tune.

“This is why a pure democracy doesn’t work”

i.e. let’s subvert the will of the people. Trump tried and failed to do it too. I’m beginning to believe the worst words you could possibly hear from someone’s mouth is “I’m a conservative”

xts,

Yes it’s unfortunate Biden is still the democratic front runner. But he’s not on stage saying how old and dementia-ridden his opponent is only to have major mental fumbles minutes later lmao.

Trump is really using the GOP namesake here- Gaslight, Obstruct, Project

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s 100% Clean Energy Bills Pass (www.huffpost.com)

Michigan lawmakers approved a slate of bills Wednesday night that are set to transform the energy systems at the heart of America’s heavy industry, putting the major manufacturing state on a course to generate all its electricity from carbon-free sources within just 17 years....

xts,

In the last two years Michigan has gone from being on shaky ground politically to being a stronghold for human rights and rejecting garbage. Now that Ohio is following suit with codifying abortion rights and legalizing recreational cannabis… Great Lakes region is stepping up!

Fingers crossed idiot republicans don’t try to undo the will of the people.

Not like it even matters at this point. There’s a decades long lag time on CO2 emissions so even if we completely stop today the planet will continue warming for decades.

Not to mention the arctic circle is a literal ticking time bomb that will blow long before the anyways. Methane is literally blasting out from the ground leaving giant craters behind. Methane is 28 times more potent than CO2 when it comes to trapping heat in the atmosphere.

Just look at how countries around the world combatted COVID. Climate catastrophe is going to be magnitudes worse than that and people are still sticking their heads in the sand.

xts,

We are (very likely) already past the point of no return when it comes to tipping points. You can’t refreeze the arctic which is currently thawing at alarming rates. You cant grab the methane back from the air and put it into the ground.

The release of methane and other ancient CO2 from the permafrost will catapult us past other tipping points like a BOE as well.

It’s not fatalistic, it’s realistic. The IPCC has warned of this stuff for years and people still believe renewables are going to allow us to skirt the worst of climate change when it’s already locked in lol.

xts,

Yeah it’s definitely life changing. The public sentiment over the last couple of years has gone from

“wow Elon musk is a genius who will electrify the world and get us to mars”

to

“Wow Elon Musk is a massive moron who clearly isn’t anywhere near as smart as he thinks he is”

and the more he spreads right wing conspiracy shit the worse it’s getting for him.

Let’s not even talk about the public image but the private one now- he borrowed something like $20b? from several banks to make the deal who are now saddled with the debt. They have also been discussing (publicly) selling it at a loss because they’re done with Elon. Other banks will not lend him money, ESPECIALLY with interest rates being what they are and what he’s done this last year. The time of free money (which is how he built all of his companies) and unlimited government subsidies is done and that’s the only way he’s been successful- when there’s virtually no risk.

He cannot pay his interest payments because he’s only rich on paper. He’s likely cash poor and hasn’t even been paying normal Twitter bills let alone interest payments for his $20b loan, which IIRC gains like a billion in interest every year. Dude dug himself into a hole with no way out

xts,

Probably his fillers shifting around so you might as well make fun of him, for that and his ass to head hair transplant.

xts,

lol that would never happen, the GOP would NEVER allow anyone but natural born citizens to serve

xts,

I mean if it bothers you that much they have like $10 adapters on Amazon that are male lightning to USB-C female. and they even work with PD chargers.

Much cheaper than the $129 they’ll charge when the new one comes out

xts,

Right it was a Democrat president who ordered the military marched into the Middle East based on completely made up information only to kill millions 🙄

xts,

You’ve never heard of people reporting others taking bad about their company on social media? Even if it’s under a broad context and no name drops people have gotten fired.

Most people don’t realize just how much of their life is shared on social media and are fine with accepting any and all friend/follow requests from coworkers who are friendly enough and not weird.
