The question was meant to be broad.

I'm completely convinced that online moderators of all kinds, are by default, maliciously useless. I wouldn't be shocked if the moderators on Lemmy and anywhere else, were formerly from or are from Reddit themselves based on how they behave to people. I've read modlogs where moderators actively insult people in the comments for why they've banned them.

Who are these pricks trying to impress? It radiates small-dick energy to unfathomable levels.

The subs to talk about social and personal life stuff are trolled so hard.

You're not kidding. Like the atmosphere in those parts are very artificial and most of the time it is people just baiting. You can't even vent about your workplace without being hampered by handfuls of people picking it apart and thinking you're at fault.

Man, humans have fundamentally and irreversibly fucked up this planet. We burn coal, so we have that problem you mentioned. I learned recently how chemical companies have done decades of a poor job just dumping chemical waste wherever they want or developing things that does more harm than good at the planet's expense.

Enjoy it while it's here I guess.

I refuse to be homeless. I've always been telling myself that the day I become homeless and so many bills pile up, is the day I truly die. I'm pretty resourceful, but there's not an awful lot that I can think of as there to do if I become homeless, other than become a petty criminal, but then I'd only be wasting time in jail and being treated like a nobody in the justice system.

Metaphorically speaking, but putting the boot down on the neck that is the form of my individuality. They both did a terrible job in preparing me for life. Their idea of readying you for life is going on tireless banters about themselves and maybe a couple lessons dropped in between. There's just no recovery when parents just do not prepare for you for life, leaving you into a life full of struggle and improvision.

They jammed in a freaking elf and dwarf love interest angle somewhere in the movies.

In the entire Middle-Earth Legendarium, Elves and Dwarves were bitter rivals to eachother to the point where the idea of A elf and A dwarf would never work together in a conceivable fashion that constitutes a relationship to that extent. Legolas and Gimli I was okay with because they developed as functioning partners for the sake of the Fellowship when the call was heeded.

But what happened in the Hobbit, was once again a shining example as to how stupidly obsessed Hollywood is, with cramming romance into everything.

I think that alone is what really prevents me from being a watcher of tv shows, streaming or traditional. They want you to be addicts so that you'd binge-watch episodes, get into heated debates, worship the IP and eagerly await for anything related to it to be released.

Then when the show starts to die by the slightest, it's like a crushing weight mentally as to how lead on you were about it all. It just flatout deceives you to have wasted so much time and investment into something you thought was genuine.

The only shows I maybe would consider giving chances to and have watched, were shows that just knew where they were going and eventually found a way to end.

Where also that nobody is allowed to be nuanced or central.

Things either are the best thing or the worst piece of shit ever. Being in the gray is a huge no.

A super weapon kept in cryo, only this time drifting indefinitely into space with very little chance of ever being found.

That really sounds very similar to what the later modern Doom games did to Doomguy. Where he was such a threat to demonkind they just, sealed him away or something and only summoned when in need.

 

I still can't stop but think how stretched out the Hobbit films were, for an otherwise short book. That's a sin that stains forever with me. The Lord of the Rings films, do have their own flaws, but they're fairly contained and can be debated as to whether they were good or not. I have so much trouble excusing anything with the Hobbit though.

And I hope we never, ever see anyone tackle The Silmarillion. Simply because, there will be so much improvised fluff in that would-be film, that it'd make the Hobbit films blush.

 

Mine is evaluated based on how many of them were there for me when I was at my lowest. It'd be unfair for me to evaluate them based on communication, because then that'd mean that everyone would be gone, so that'd be unfair. I also don't think evaluating people based on what they gift you or do for you is adequate either. So, yeah, I think the clear line basis of me removing a friend is about sheer balance.

I don't like friendships that are just unrealistic. Where they want only and nothing but the best from you and for you. Friendships are about enduring someone's worst and figuring it through too. If you just push someone away all of the time and leave them in dormancy where their mind tends to wander into places it shouldn't. That's one of the worst things a friend can do and it can also include up to things like not talking to them just for a check up every now and then.

So again, if more friends have let me down or dropping the ball, then that's probably my reason.

Aww, couldn't live with the consequences? Too bad...shouldn't have done what you did.

Without this man, there'd be no System Shock or a Thief series or rather in the way that they've been.

 

Yesterday, I got off a 3-day ban where I said in reply to a comment about how I said "it should have taken him too" in regards to how it looked like RFK Jr had a stroke in an image of an article. So that was 3 days ban, uncontested. Then, just under an hour ago, I got a 7-day ban for an inoffensive comment similar in vein.

So I guess it's a no-no to talk of "leaders" of departments who condemn people's lives to suffering by ill advice and beliefs. Talk about bending that knee, Reddit. The place has been utter shit. I'm probably going to end up getting a permanent ban when I return when I shit on another right-wing politician.

Yeah, yeah, neg me all you want. I don't care of your feelings. I've learned that it's okay to let politicians dick the lives of millions around up to and including unaccounted deaths. But a little wishful stroke to one politician is "wrong".
