I dont know what you're talking about. My dumb brain just completes this with:

mushroom, MUSHROOM. A snake oh no its a snake it's a.....

Its very simple. Sex is boring to look at. Even porn. Whats the longest you watched a porn movie? 5 minutes? 15? Let's top it off at 30 minutes. Just to be safe.

Violence is not boring. Stuff like John Wick grabs you by the ass and puts you on a roller coaster.

Want proof? Look at gaming. How big are the dating sims? Now compare that with call of duty/etc.

So, me? Yeah, stop with the xxl steamy sex scenes in movies. Very rarely do they add anything more then an interlude. A time to get coffee. To look at your notifications. At best.

To be clear: I love sex. My sex.

Prometheus good? Your not a minority, you're alone.

So many unanswered questions. So much alien lore down the toilet, hours of backstory takes with guy Pearce and Charlize Theron cut and thrown away. Scientist looking like mercenaries and making worse decisions then a five year old. The little clues pointing to a blade runner connection going nowhere. If david was called weylands son, what does that mean for his daughter?

I guess it works as a generic non alien body horror film.

Prometheus wasn't cut, it was butchered to be just that. A generic scifi horror story.

Nobody of the normal populace knew. Do you really think the jews would get on those trains without putting up a real fight? Bringing their belongings, jewellery in suitcases to Dachau, Auschwitz?

Does that sound like actions of someone who knew what was going to happen?

Yes, a lot of people knew what was going on. A lot of people, more people, didn't know shit. The problem was not that. The problem was that they didn't care.

If you kill several thousand people to make a point you're a terrorist.

The end.

No. Lemmy posts are always left leaning. There is no right and no center. Thats disheartening. Next to that most communities are too small so no viable discussions follow. Most communities die in months.

Then again, reddit.com doesnt exist anymore because some schmucks have taken over, resulting in obtrusive ads, profiling and tracking.

I dont post on reddit anymore. Still follow some subs though because they just dont have an alternative.

I went from 1 source (reddit) to several(lemmy, mastodon, 4chan, 9gag). And still it feels empty. Mostly because while some memes are nice, 4chan is filled with morons and 9gag... That's a "racist app" according to its own users. But it doesn't stop there. A lot of posts there are just vile. Not just right wing nut job, no, they are worse. And masto is mostly the same as lemmy.

Fuck it, there is no substitute.

Semi professional wifi(networking) at home (TP link omada or ubiquiti) and just buying excessive amounts of access points in my home.

Fuck you, low wifi signal. Fuck you, crashed router.

Hello fellow 50ish year old gamer.

You forgot homeworld.

Disco is terrible, lazy writing. It's just endless word vomit.

I like literature, smart word play. but this ain't that. This is just throwing everything including piss, vomit, semen and feces on the wall and see what sticks. And in a lot of early game scenes it's this quite literally.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that Disco is not for everyone. You love it or it makes you nauseous. There is nothing in between. And you only know which one is you when you try it.

First you do what you, reading, learning. Then you start building stuff, repurposing old hardware.

Then you find that something breaks, the old fan in that old system quits, that linux version does something horrible to its ext filesystem because you made a configuration error. And then you look at the 100+wh it uses, 24/7.

That's the moment I just bought a qnap which fitted my budget. (or synology or asustor)

And these run, in your use case, for decades.

The end.

Ps: dont forget a backup solution.

Edit edit edit: decades? Yes, decades. I've a TS-210 to prove it. Still churning along as a backup target. I've never had a qnap die on me, except one time, an external ac/dc power supply died.

Edit edit edit edit: muh security! Qnap, synology, asustor bad! Yeah yeah. Don't use the (qnap) cloud services. They are neat though and quite safe. As long as you keep thinking for yourself.

50 something also chiming in.

I think the nutcases have always just been there. Hiding in plain sight. They just never had a platform. It was always "uncle jerry in the back, spilling nonsense while drinking his beer. Dont mind him."

And that was the end of it.

Uncle Jerry now has twitter , facebook and all those other bullshit channels for furthering his bullshit. And some of us just eat it up.

I work in IT, which is more then anything else, a business of truths. Its binary. It works or it don't. 0 or 1. Yes or no. A lot of highly trained and educated people work in IT, which is a field which only exists because of science... and blatantly ignore that same science about society, environment, immigration, economy, chem trails and god knows what else.

It's baffling. There are a lot, i would say 1 in 10, who will spout the most insane bullshit after a few beers. About stuff "the government doesn't want you to know." what exactly is the government ? I work for the government but apparently I'm excluded. Im good government?

we haven't been on the moon. Chem trails are real. Climate change is just a fad, covid is a way to control us, vaccines give cancer, polio isn't a real disease, its made up.

Da fuq.

I truly believe that social media, and I mean all social media should be banned. People should not be allowed to spew their bullshit. We as a people are really not ready for this. Maybe China is right with their "social score" system. Maybe stuff like the bilderberg group is really needed. We seem to need guidance. We, the normal civvies, seemingly are too hell bend on watching it all burn. And are too stupid to stop it. People like trump, inciting hate, spraying unlimited bullshit, should be thrown in jail. That's not politics. That's rage baiting.

The path we're on leads to 2 things: the capitalist dystopia, think blade runner and a total melt down of our ecosystem which, ultimately, will lead to our dinosaur moment.

We are living, this moment, in a great filter event. I truly believe that. Wanna know why we don't see, hear other planet wide civilisations? Look around you. See where this leads. Connect the dots. "do your own research." ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
