Right? It's like COVID laid bare all the injustices and bullshit of our society and social structures and all but destroyed any motivation to accomplish anything that I had. Things just seemed pointless cause the old myths are fucking lies and I'm tired of killing myself for others during the prime years of my life.

What do you do when your apathy is due, in part, to the world being a cesspool where a few have the most? It really sucks.

Microsoft Edge nags users with a 3D banner to change Windows 11's default browser ( www.windowslatest.com )

Would you use Edge as your default browser on Windows 11 if Microsoft nags you with a 3D banner? Microsoft thinks you would. In a new experiment, which appears to be rolling out to Edge stable on Windows 11, Microsoft has turned on a banner that uses 3D graphics to promote the browser....

Edit: see comment from @Zipitydew below this.

Throughout history, America has chosen to ignore warnings of impending attacks. Australia notified the US about the Japanese fleet movement and, if I remember, even predicted the target was Hawaii. They did nothing to stop that attack in order up get the US into the war to help Europe when isolationism in the population was making the idea of getting into the war unpalatable.

Thanks for setting me straight. I'll edit my post to reflect that.

Right? Pretty sure that's the human condition these days.

I'd imagine YouTube subtracts the ad length from posted timestamps when clicking a link containing one. But we are taking about Google, soooooo...

In the cat and mouse game, the cat can adjust tactics but the mice eventually figure out an alternative route. I'm sure they will find a way with this. Either that or a lot of people will just stop watching YouTube, I'd imagine.

Sailor Moon and Ronin Warriors! The former sparked my love of short-haired pixie cuts on women (Sailor Mercury, I think) and the latter sparked my love of redemption arch in storytelling!

(In know these are not the type of anime referenced in the question, but these were my first experiences with anime and stick with me like my first lay.

How to download and remove DRM from an Amazon documentary?

There's a documentary that's more than a decade old that now only exists on Amazon Prime. I have searched everywhere for this but the website (and thus DVDs being sold) doesn't exist any more, there are no torrents, no second hand DVDs for sale that I can find online..... I'm OK with buying the doco from Amazon (albeit not happy...

Ahh the early 2000s. What a time to be a teenager with new tech, a dialup network, and bootleg videos that occasionally contained someone's browser or a floating mouse or a separate video that briefly starts playing over the screen-capped video!

Back when the Internet was new and not a dying corpse, drained of all it's essence by monied interests!

Might be time to hop on your main account and make your nightly post about how mean women are to incels. Tonight is a double feature, you can bitch about how stupid you looked in this convo in the same circle jerk!

I think the point Idiocracy was trying to convey had less to do with the genetics of the stupid people breeding, and more so the downward spiral of intelligence due to policy societal and governmental changes. Dumb people, make dumb policy choices, including with regard to education. To me, it stands to reason that the downward slope of intelligence is percitpitated on how effective governmental policy is and how well education is distributed.

The only way he could ruin porn sites was if the site's content were replaced with only videos of Elon gyrating his hips to Eye of the Tiger, while wearing one of those Borat bathing suits, never breaking eye contact with the camera.

How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals

I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying "woke", "critical race theory", ""grooming"", and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open....

mjhelto ,

And someone who's part of a cult, or a significant other who is abused, will try to recruit people to their cause or downplay the violence or dig in deeper with their abusers.

Don't get me wrong, those who perpetuate the hate on the conservative side are rat bastards who have no place in society. However, those on the consumption end have been programmed to think this way. Deprogramming takes a lot of time and requires the cult member to want to learn more and get out. However, forcefully removing a cult member will usually just push them back to the cult harder.

Either these Republican rubes die or start investigating other sources of info. Either way, we have a long fight ahead of us, and that's only if we can cut off the head of the snake and stop the cult at the top.

I hope you're right. I grew up learning about the Cold War. Didn't think I'd have to experience it, but these fuckers refuse to leave power unless they die, and even then the survivors just Weekend at Bernie's the corpse like Feinstein.

I knew Microsoft was working toward it and hinting that it was coming, but didn't think it would be available this soon!

After visiting there in 2010, right before they got the FIFA World Cup, they were well on their way toward a stable infrastructure. Then, after they got the World Cup, they switched from country-wide stable infrastructure to major construction projects for the like 2-weeks the event took place. It was sad to see those living in little shanty towns, with makeshift power and cable setups, and know that a better way was coming before soccer/football ruined it.

Really glad to see the country taking a win and helping out their country, even if it s likely not explicitly their goal.

Lobster

mjhelto ,

Thank you for the recommendation! I may check it out cause just as weird as I found Lobster, I still thought it was unique and the story was interesting. I can go for film makers putting themselves out there to show compelling stories that differ from most! Dogtooth, hmm. I'll have to see if I can track it down.

mjhelto ,

Watching it while high is ill-advised, also. I think it's about a lobster, though!

mjhelto ,

I mean, do it? No reason to announce it here, and no one will care about your plethora of cameras. Why would what someone chooses to add to their property be something that "pisses you off" so much?

mjhelto ,

Then don't go on their property?
