Saw it this weekend with my kids. It was fun! It's not winning any awards, but it's fairly well done and certainly worth a watch for kids. I've been playing since the initial beta and it was fun to see the world brought to life.

I left in the API exodus. Never went back.

I'm not sure sarcasm is the right word. I'd say it's more "self awareness". Cake is a good example. They're not serious and their music is almost a parody of pop-alt-rock at the time. Radiohead is borderline self-aware; they're sad and they know it, but not so sad as to be "serious" about it like Dashboard Confessional.

They should stop taking weapons from the US to teach them a lesson.

(early) reddit was the answer to the question "what if anyone could have their own phpbb instance without having to host it?" Then along came Lemmy asking "what if anyone could have their own reddit instance and have to host it?"

America is an oligarchy. The oligarchs own the big businesses. A boycott against a business is literally anti-american activity...

If you can use an Xbox controller, you can work for the military flying drones to murder people from the comfort of your desk chair.

Good for you! That time with your family is really important.

I'm from the US and I caused quite a stir when I took 4 weeks off; 3 days paternity leave and the rest was accrued vacation. HR was trying to convince me to break it up because "it would set a bad precedent." But my boss was supportive and approved it anyway.

Good thing you were never a kid! That'd be pretty fucked up if you had been a kid at some point and benefitted from the general public funding your education, then you slam the door behind you and make everyone else pay their own way through elementary school.

Exactly. Don't judge a person by the blood writing on the walls!

I assume CBS is doing back story spotlights on each of the 90 hostages Israel is supposed to release?
