Saving money. I take pride in doing my research and getting the best deal instead of just stumbling into the first store I come across and paying for whatever the sales person talks me into. The latter wouldn't even hurt me financially, it's just a thing of principle.

This is me with travel I typically spend 2-3000 less than other couples when going to the same destination and end up in the same hotels.

Cats. I used to be a dog person until I rescued this little red oxytocin potato.

[–] MU5T4N6@feddit.org 3 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

Nickelback. I don't know why they get so much hate, their music is actually decent

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 1 hour ago

They just got played to death on the radio and his voice is pretty distinctive so all the songs sound the same. And it's a bandwagon thing.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

For me it was the radio and that a lot of their popular songs sound the same-ish (not hard to do with that voice). The radio has ruined a lot of bands for me simply by having a 40 minute playlist on repeat. Like The Killers.

[–] crimsonpoodle@pawb.social 3 points 5 hours ago

Some of there songs are dope

[–] Ludrol@szmer.info 5 points 8 hours ago

Bluesky and AT proto

The idea that you can just take your account and migrate it to different PDS is awesome.

High school of the Dead. I watched the anime because of that titty/bullet gif. I freaking loved that show. ~~Not so much the piss scene, but still.~~

[–] Custodian6718@programming.dev 1 points 3 hours ago

What piss scene? I Must have pushed it out of my Brain..

Charlie Kirk getting fucking holed

[–] trslim@pawb.social 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

If he's so pro life, why is he dead?

[–] remon@ani.social 5 points 8 hours ago

If he was anti-vax why did get a shot?

[–] hazl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 hours ago

Brave and contrary.

[–] AnitaAmandaHuginskis@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Gun Control lol

Charlie Kirk would approve... Well, he would now I mean. SCNR

Too soon?

[–] trslim@pawb.social 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I saw someone say charlie kirk used the getting shot tactic to avoid the question.

The ends of a loaf of bread are the best slices

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Now that’s a spicy take

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago

Especially toasted. So much crunch.

[–] Xed@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

Vlogging is not vanity. It’s a special way to capture memories to share with others currently. And to view yourself and others in a time capsule, a stasis where you can view the old world

I want to view my vlogs as an elder and appreciate my memories, even more than I thought I did when I filmed them

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 58 minutes ago

If that's your motive sure. If your motive is to become a social media influncer then...no.

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Idk I'm 50/50 in this one. I feel the production of video can have negative effects on being present in the moment and enjoying things while they happen instead of looking back nostalgically

[–] Xed@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

I don’t vlog enough to have this issue. I live in the moment

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

What about live streamers walking around public?

[–] Xed@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

I don’t really give a fuck to be honest. Livestreams are weird

There's simply no reason why a GPU should have proprietary drivers, when that is a core, basically inseparable part of a computer. You literally NEED one to see what you're doing with your computer (yes, integrated graphics also count).

I mean, imagine if your sound card had proprietary drivers. The world would go nuts.

Speed Racer (2008)

Uniquely colorful, silly, wholesome, every single one of its frames oozes style and creativity. It's exactly what an animated adaptation should aim to be and will forever stand out against the blue and orange, brown and bloom palettes that plagued that era of media.

It's simply so visually exciting and fun.

Not a great movie but the villain speech is one of the greatest of all time

I was an early adopter of No Man's Sky (long before the shift in public perception), and I fucking loved it back then, and love it now as well. But admitting that in public a few years back was tantamount to saying that stapling your child to a rabid badger was a great alternative to hiring a babysitter.

Modern magic. We tricked crystals into thinking by drugging them and zapping them with electricity. Then we used those crystals to trick matricies into hallucinating by forcing them to guess the answer to math questions and smacking them when they get it wrong and kept doing that until they get it right. Ethics and hype aside, it's pretty fucking wild.
