No thanks to Vincent D’onofrio who is an atrocious actor.

You seen Full Metal Jacket? I'm not here to debate the voice work in D2 but them's fightin' words.

press send on that post that you felt wasn't of enough substance to be worth anyone's time.

I feel like you vastly underestimate the amount of subpar shitposts I'm capable of composing (and then thinking better of) in a given day.

if it's higher than $60, R* can lick my taint.

in fact, if the online is as ridden with issues as 5's online has been, I'll probably just pirate it. Why would I want to pay $60+ just so I can get squeezed for even more money via microtransactions; and having to pay even more for a mod menu, just to exist in a server without being hassled? Fuck that with a rusty fork.

I just hope Trump's senior moments don't get us all killed. I mean, his lucid thoughts are bad enough.

oh, that tard's still around? I blocked him months ago.

I can affirm my experience has been all the better for it, so yes, the rest of the fediverse should throw the Nazi out of the bar.

Well it is very on-brand.

This.

Use words accurately, or you dilute their meaning. Being a shit person is one thing, being evil is on another level. Conflating the real evil fuckers of this world with your average asshole diminishes the true depth of their awfulness.

That said, yeah, brutal sweatshops in china were a thing before Apple moved out of his parents garage, so pushing for manufacturing there does indeed make him qualify.

ah, see, now that's more like it.

Why, exactly? Genuinely asking. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm no Apple fan, and he was absolutely an insufferable douchebag to nearly everyone he knew; and was a verifiable self-righteous fuckwit who Darwin'd himself out of existence by choosing woo-woo bullshit over medicine for a very treatable cancer.

Evil, though, I think might be a stretch -- Elon, Thiel, Vance, Trump, Murdoch, the Sackler family, the Koch brothers, etc. all excellent contenders for being truly evil -- but afaik Jobs was just a dickhead with an ego the size of a blimp, and I think we ought not dilute that term with just your run-of-the-mill dickheads. Unless you know something I don't about him.

My mother had a behemoth of a Panasonic console TV in her living room right up to the early 2010s. Still worked when we got rid of it, too, just finally decided it was time to upgrade. I remember, when we moved it, there was a half-inch-deep sunken area where it sank into the floor over the years, compressing the carpet.
