Trying not to feed the trolls

  • Usually I get pirates' points, but I mean...this game was on freaking FOX. The dude's a millionaire and can afford the most expensive streaming package in the world, and even if he couldn't, Sling TV Blue is only $40/mo and has FOX on it.

    With all the popup ads, piracy for live television is actually MORE cumbersome and inconvenient than just paying for live television. If you're out of market or the game is on a channel that's obscure or only on something that charges like $70/mo, I'd understand this a bit more.

  • If you're looking for political discourse yes, this place is garbage. Nothing but fringe BlueAnon conspiracy theorists, and a very small contingent of equally fringe alt lighters.

    But the Lemmy software is far, far better than Reddit's and the instances run smoother. If you can bear not talking about politics or the news, I'd recommend sticking around!

  • Sure, it can. But if it doesn't happen right after the election, or on January 6th, it's not happening anytime soon.

  • I've never heard of CDA. Is it indeed a piracy site?

  • He's a tech YouTuber who likes cool tech

  • On what platform? I've never had an issue with it on Roku or Google TV, and I used it HEAVILY this Spring and Summer.

  • Honestly, after the SAG-AFTRA strike and hearing about how ads pay for actor and writer royalties, I've gotten less mad about them.

    But ofc part of that factor is I pay for the ad-free version on the only streaming service I have (Disney Trio) and I buy or download (in rare case) everything else I want to see. The only ads I come across are on Rings Of Power. It's easier to bear ads if you don't have to watch many of them.

  • This takes me back to the bad old days!

    I will say depressive naps I took probably contributed to this more than anything else. When you're getting 4+ hours of sleep during the day, you'll only sleep so much at night. When I stopped doing that this problem almost entirely went away.

  • Keep em out. I am trying to avoid most political Lemmy communities since they tend to skew so far left.

    That said, I think y'all need a place to share political videos, IIRC most politics communities on Lemmy don't allow for that. Maybe a political videos community is in order.

  • I'm not heavy into gaming but I'm shocked that RDR wasn't already on PC.

  • A lot of Kick fans and viewers like content from people who pick fights with randos in public and generally try to get a rise out of people. Even that is not as bad as recklessly crashing a luxury car that has a friend as well as an employee inside.

  • He's huge on the streamer space, he's a Kick streamer who's a general menace. A lot of people don't like him, but the way X has turned against him I wouldn't be surprised if he finally loses a chunk of his core fanbase after this.

  • Okay lil bro 😆

    The "Capitalists are stupid and anticapitalists are smart" comments are so adorable lollll

  • Because it's easier than defending socialism or communism

  • Those research papers are expensive to procure ethically, I'd imagine

  • Perchance!

  • Ah, I grew up listening to Adventures In Odyssey and one character said that all the time. Beautiful word.

  • Okay how about stealing road signs and putting them on different roads, in the wrong place?
