Did you choose to overlook my intentional usage of the word "chosen" just to mansplain something obvious? I did not make my choice out of ignorance, but I appreciate you assuming I did.
I like Jill Stein. She can't win this presidency. Voting for her results in Trump winning. That is a fact. I don't like it either, but voting for her is the same as handing a vote to Trump. Again, I cannot stress this enough, I do not like this. I don't want Kamala. I want a socialist. But Trump is a massive fucking threat, and Kamala is the only option that can beat him this race. Vote ideals locally, strategy federally.
This is always how I've chosen to interpret the expression. It's not a theory. It's an observation.
That'll just lose us more rights when Trump gets elected.
I would be one of you if they didn't purge my accounts years ago. The trust will never return.
I'm in the US, and I saw the setting. Unsurprisingly.
I see. There's the disconnect. You offered both an anecdote and an objective statement. You called the comic inaccurate, as well as stating what happens as though it's a universal experience. And then you offered an anecdote. The response was geared towards your first couple remarks, not the anecdote. They were snarky about it, but the sentiment is true. You were speaking for everyone, not just yourself. Your retort doesn't make much sense because they weren't doing the same thing.
A conservative with compassion and sense is always a welcome sight. This is a pretty obvious solution imo, but the powers that be seem to disagree.
Now you've gone and made things worse.
I cannot stress enough how efficiently you ruined my ability to use the memory trick.
I don't think you're wrong. I do think a good movie would be more profitable than a bad one. I wouldn't show my kid this movie out of principle, because I happen to be of a generation that cares about this franchise. I wouldn't buy any merch, toys, or clothes either. I'm sure some would, but I feel strongly that this movie won't generate the profits they want, and it'll be specifically because they made something terrible.
Players aged 15 to 21 make up the largest group of Minecraft’s player base at 43%.
The remaining 21% consists of players between 22 to 30 years old, and 20.59% are users aged 61 to 80.
You might be thinking of demographics from like 10 years ago, but those kids grew up dude. Kids are not the primary demographic.
Does Lemmy not like Linux all of a sudden...?
Loud and stupid are affectionate descriptors from my friends. I also struggle with volume after being too quiet for my early years and overcompensating in the later ones.
Right? Now we have people claiming you have a moral obligation to watch ads because they support X or Y. Bizarre is a good word.
My thoughts too. It definitely works. That's why I despise advertising and block all attempts at it. Don't tell me what to think, assholes.
