It's not as bad as people are making it out to be. It's not good but people need to touch grass.
I started coming to tildes instead of reddit, because there isn't as much Trump spam here.

Today I was driving and I saw like 10 or so older folks (like in their 80's and 90's) at the town intersection with anti-trump signs and other hand-drawn protest signs actually protesting. Epstein signs, Anti-fascism signs - the works.
Don't give up. You can still be a proud American.

Like Paramount. I'd watch star trek, but... paramount.
And instead of competition driving down prices, it's only lead to increase in prices with worse service like ads for things I never used to have to watch ads for.

Comment on Atari has agreed to acquire Thunderful Games for roughly €4.5 million – will own around 82% of shares, subject to shareholder approval next month in ~games

Hopefully they're in good hands with Atari?Seems like market conditions forced Thunderful's hand to sell. Sucks, especially on the eve of the GODBREAKERS release, as that looks like an awesome game.

I don't expect this movie to be a cinema masterpiece, but I do expect the soundtrack to fucking slap. Let's hope.

Comment on How does collecting differ psychologically from hoarding? in ~life

Ever thought "I might be able to use this cable again, I'm not going to chuck it out when I dispose of the rest of this electronic waste."?
Take that to the extreme and you have hoarding. Where you don't want to throw away anything because it might be useful in some made up scenario in your head. You also see others throwing away things and it offends you because those items could also be useful in some other made up scenario in your head. To the point where you see super cheap crap that others are desperately trying to get rid of without trashing it and you see potential treasure.
That is hoarding. Get rid of your shit. No, you will never ever need that parallel cable ever again. Not ever. There is no scenario you will ever need a parallel cable that you cannot easily access it through 3 dollars and the internet.

Comment on New ESPN streaming service to cost $29.99 per month or $299.99 per year, limited options and bundles available in ~sports

ESPN+ is straight garbage.
If this actually offers live sports and not just a collection of sports talk shows that nobody wants to watch over the actual game, then I think some people will pay it. I definitely will wait and see.
I cannot fathom the justification for a 30/month price point especially with what can be offered on the service. If this begets more and more exclusivity for espn, it will be extremely frustrating for people who like to watch live sports.

Oodelally Link Parenthuh? I challenge you to show a shred of proof for this.had Carlsen not been acting like such a pretentious asshole and sore loser in recent months
huh?
He's the kind of guy that accused one of his rivals of cheating by using vibrating anal beads, for fuck's sake.
I challenge you to show a shred of proof for this.

Comment on Favorite "A Christmas Carol" adaptation? in ~movies
Oodelally Link ParentThis is also my favorite adaptation. I still love the Muppet Christmas Carol, however I feel like there's no better Scrooge than Albert Finney. I sing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5RMZ3pF_3Q...This is also my favorite adaptation. I still love the Muppet Christmas Carol, however I feel like there's no better Scrooge than Albert Finney.
I sing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5RMZ3pF_3Q with my daughter whenever Thanksgiving is over and we are in a store with Christmas decorations.
It simply isn't Christmas until I see Scrooge.
I don't know when or how this has changed, but the biggest changes I've noticed since the last time I've used chagpt:
1 - It has a larger "context window". It can remember a lot more of a conversation, or even now pull from previous conversations and can continue to discuss things it's discussed in the past.
2 - The freely available release can pull information from the internet while in a conversation. So information is much more up-to-date.
