Yeah I leave it at my brother’s house for our weekly movie and TV day, and he had them already so I didn’t spend more than like 15 minutes looking at those.

But it’s on the back burner for a QoL update like that.

I still use the 5.1 system I got with my first computer in '04.

I’m just stupid and not thinking.

This sounds like the mental math I did, but I forgot to carry the reality.

You fail the horny check.

wouldnt have though nothing of it

So without the comment what did you think of it?

Can’t he just get depressed and kill himself already? That would be one of the few times that practice actually benefits society.

I bet that’s what they tried to say but autocorrect fucked it.

Which then travels… over HDMI. I realize that’s not what you meant but technically…

If they were, they should be free. Yet there’s still triple and quad digit prices on these things that probably cost like 8% of that to build (because of slave labor probably), and the subsidy on top should mean they’re literally paying us monthly to have their screen.

This really seems to be the right answer. At least while computer monitors stay dumb.

Get one of those tiny PCs that you can just leave behind the TV, get a wireless mouse and keyboard too.

Nothing on TV isn’t available online anyway. Paying the cable company for anything more than an Internet connection seems like setting money on fire to me. Maybe sports would be difficult, but that can literally be found if you know what you’re doing. Even games you wouldn’t be able to with TV.

Cable TV just seems to me like a boomer’s version of the Internet. It has no place in a world with the Internet, change my mind. The ads on TV are worse than what you find on any popular website/app.

But as usual, capitalism is messing everything up with the marketing. In a world where hi speed Internet is widely available, “TV” just has no use. None. And worse, the commercials are now leaking through your literal screen.

I’m not saying that ads aren’t a problem, but there’s a hell of a lot more you can do about them.

In a perfect world, there would be a place you could go whenever you wanted something and find products and solutions for that thing, and there wouldn’t be ads in anything else at all.

But until there’s an actual argument to say TV technology isn’t totally worthless, my stance is simply “no TVs are necessary or useful”.

Having a job where you’re responsible for dealing with a cover gives me the work ick.

Bro, I’m sick. Take the L and live without me, nothing is my problem today. I can’t live on pins and needles about going in when I’m dying just because I can’t find a replacement. Or being terrified that my day off might belong to someone else who needs cover.

That’s just a hostile workplace imo. The instant I feel like shit I instantly don’t gaf at all. Just calling to say I won’t be there is already annoying and work-like enough.

Granted I’ve only had jobs where I was a replaceable cog (well, mostly replaceable-made myself pretty knowledgeable) so it wasn’t like I had individual-specific responsibilities and clients that would be put out or anything.

But work life balance kinda depends on not having to only get sick when someone else feels like voluntarily covering. That shit is oppressive af in my eyes.

Yeah that was a bit crazy. But I didn’t really think about it too long because almost everything else is supposedly a whole other timeline now, so it’s a not point.

Also I’ve seen “Beyond” twice now, but got distracted both times so I still don’t know much about it.

Seems more like cardboard to me. I’ve never liked their burgers, I only ever got the nuggies and their chicken sandwich, whatever it’s called. The cheap one that was on the dollar menu back when that was a thing.

I enjoy both. The original series is so dated (buttons, knobs, switches, and lights on the control panels? Pffff) that even as a fan I find it hard to look at.

No one seemed to take the show that seriously. I don’t think anyone had a clue it would turn into a whole franchise, and the acting is so hammy I can’t stand looking at a lot of the scenes.

All that said that even old start tell movies were more action oriented than a typical episode plot. (Except for maybe the first movie, which unless I’m remembering wrong literally was almost a carbon copy of an episode)

All I remember about that movie is the line “I have a big head… And little arms!”

Walter White: You’re goddamn right.

That’s how the concept was worded around the people I grew up with. I forget my audience on here sometimes lol

They wouldn’t say “classist” they’d say “racist against the _____ class”

I’m “racist” against billionaires and not even pretending not to be. There’s like no more than a small handful who do much (relative % I mean) good for anybody. Those should be noted and tasted normally (if they weren’t while on the way up), but they should be taxed out of existence. Il

I don’t know what the number should be, but it shouldn’t be possible for your net worth to even approach a billion.

Probably smaller than $50M. Shouldn’t be possible to surpass that much. Even that amount should be heavily forced into charity.

If you’re in that upper echelon, I automatically hate you before I’ve heard of you, and I’m fairly confident the amount of times I’m wrong would be extremely small.

Super rich people have to prove they’re worth not hating. Their default position is “hated idiot” until proven otherwise.

There’s just so little possibility I wouldn’t want them dead in a vacuum (devoid of other moral considerations).

Living his best life.

That was in the sense of different aspects of it evolving, but collectively sure you can cut the s.
