  • But here we are

    Jump

  • I work in tech and I was tired of Musk one day and said: "I don't care where you're politics lie, but I'm sick of hearing about him".

    Then my coworker said, "aren't you sick of paying taxes?"

    I'm said, "I'm a progressive, you're talking to the wrong guy"

    He then said, "there are people who don't work at all that get more money from the government than what we earn, why should they get money?"

    Urgh, then we had a bit of back and forth. I doubt any of these poor people are getting money that's equivalent to our tech salaries but if anybody's getting that amount of money from the government it'd be the rich. I also went into the fact that I don't have kids and he did. So a lot of my money is funding his kids too, but yeah ...

  • If M Night Shyamalan directed this, it would be a Superman reveal at the end with a cheesy one-liner.

  • WTF BIT ME?

    Jump

  • Seriously, I've had it once before when I stayed at a place in New York almost 20 years back at this point.

    I was like, oh ... why are these bumps and why are they in a row? so weird!

    Although, worse was when I got a bed in London UK at Swiss Cottage to just stay one night. It was like a dorm room bed. I think I estimated that I got like 200 bed bug bites in total. I had to estimate but it was crazy. What's funny is that when you're entire body is covered in bites, the itchiness bothers you a bit less because if it's just one area you keep scratching it. However when it's your whole body, you're like ... everywhere equally hurts so I don't need to bother scratching. At least that's what it was like for me.

    Sorry, just releasing out the trauma :P

    Now whenever I get any bites ... I just freak out and wonder if it's bed bugs. I woke up last night and noticed an itchy bump and just freaked myself out.

  • I mean this, as per Google's definition (because I suck at it):

    A parasocial relationship is a one-sided, one-sided connection where an individual develops a sense of intimacy and friendship with a public figure, like a celebrity or fictional character, who is unaware of their existence

    I don't think Internet normal friends beats meeting friends in real life but frankly it's the only way some of us even get to have friendships nowadays. I still play games with friends in Poland and the UK despite being in Canada. I also think that it's a more important part of life now because kids "seemingly" play less in the streets and they seem to play Roblox, Minecraft, or Fortnite or whatever with friends online and as much as I hate giving kids too much screen time ... they're socializing with their friends and it's important to keep that going too.

  • and then people wonder why there's a loneliness epidemic and complain they have no friends

    Life's short and it's nice spending it and sharing it with others.

    A lot of my friends that prefer to be alone actually want to hang out but most people hate organizing and stuff. So I usually make the effort. It's better to have stories and experiences that are shared. Better being like, remember when we saw that game together? Remember trying to get home and being stranded? Remember going on that trip? Life's short.

    I'm also surrounded by friends that say they wanna do stuff a regret not doing it. Although most have kids now, so they're unable to have the time nowadays.

    To reiterate what you said,, there's about as many comments complaining about loneliness and how people forming bubbles and parasocial relationships with internet people and even weird AI relationships now. People act like it's the worse thing in the world to hang out. It only gets harder when you're older too.

    Let me be clear. I don't waste time on people that never wanna hang out. If you wanna be home and are rude when I invite you out, I will very simply leave you alone. That's fine by me.

  • Voters are just lazy and stupid.

    Voters saw January 6th and were like "I'm gonna stay home because voting doesn't matter or I'm too busy and lazy to defend rights and democracy".

    Voters also see Trump and are so stupid to think that he was gonna make their economic life better. SleePy JoE diD tHaT! jOeVeR

    Single Issue voters are just absolutely f**king stupid.

    Media also sanewashed RFK and Trump again. The cult will always vote for their candidate. The normal people need a "reason" to take action. People love blaming Kamala for not beating the "oh-so-easy" Trump but they wouldn't move their worthless asses to vote anyways.

  • I liked Korra too. I liked the aesthetics and call backs ... they didn't feel as "in your face". It doesn't have the majesty of the original series, but I liked it still!

  • Here we go again...

    Jump

  • That's fair.

    I was mainly talking about the movie and netflix series.

    I considered the original and series and Korra locked in together as they were made by the original creators and we were mainly talking about offshoots.

  • I dunno, not even an old franchise but even with Avatar the Last Airbender ... they keep trying to retell Aang's story when they could do so many others stories within the universe and give nods to the original. Repeatedly doing the same storyline makes the universe feel smaller.

    update: Although ... now that I think about there have been franchises that have expanded poorly ... Rings of Power ... Alien: Earth. Yes I know there are fans of both and I love that you guys love it. However, I don't think either have been accepted largely by the fandom.
