Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the worst thing to have only available via subscription? And what isn't yet, but would be?
1·1 day agoYup. And they’ve been trying to do this for years.
They have as better shot as any right now, considering who’s in charge of the FCC.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the worst thing to have only available via subscription? And what isn't yet, but would be?
1·1 day agoThat’s not what I’m referring to.
What I’m referring to is the attempts made to axe Net Neutrality from corrupted chairmen of the FCC who wants to put ISPs in control of what content you’re to access, based on tiered internet and wanting to charge you more to access other parts of said content.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the biggest case of planned obsolescence you've dealt with?
11·1 day agoMy phones.
I have a Samsung Galaxy A15 as a substitute work phone, it plays music for me when I’m there overnight and whatnot. Provides me entertainment. and I have a Samsung Galaxy A32-5G which is the main primary phone with a plan on it.
The battery life apparently drains faster than I remember it. Sometimes when I leave the phones alone for awhile after a work week, I’ll usually get a good extra day and a half off from them. But, sometimes I have to keep charging because from 100%, they dip down to 94 and 96 respectively.

1·2 days agoThe planned internet as a subscription idea that has been on and off.
It’s teetering, but I believe it’s going to happen one day or another. Where, you’ll have to pay a subscription for a part of the internet. Like for Streaming or Social Media or whatever else .etc

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How strategically operate the people behind Trump?
4·4 days agoI see Trump’s terms the same way as I saw Bush’s terms.
Bush and Trump were the blatant, chaotic and incomprehensible senile fools on the surface. It’s the people they put in their administration are the ones running the show.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What movie trailer was better than the actual movie?
1·4 days agoI loved that movie’s version of King Ghidorah, I liked any and all of the monster scenes. The problem is that it fell to the Transformers issue, where they focused on the humans than the monsters. I didn’t care about the parents and child conflict but it tried butting in the story at many moments.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What movie trailer was better than the actual movie?
3·4 days agoOr why Azog was there, a character who died out many years before the Hobbit journey even began. Like was Smaug, the Necromancer and the Goblin King not enough for antagonists? That’s quite stacked if you tell me.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What movie trailer was better than the actual movie?
2·4 days agoProbably for the best. I just can’t imagine Will Smith being Neo.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would they dare to regulate (eliminate) part of the population if they no longer need us in the future?
291·4 days agoI believe it’s already happening, but it’s not as straightforward as people imagined it’d be.
Like for example, the healthcare costs. I think that’s a filter to see who can survive by paying the absurd amounts. Therefore, people will die if they can’t.
Recruit people for the military, send them off into battles, eh a few hundred or a thousand die - more filtering.
Mishandling pandemics and ignoring solemn advice in how to handle them, 350k people died, what do you say President? “It is what it is” just more filtering.
So my point is, is people need to drop these fantasies of countries who actively plan to wipe out populations by sheer force and throwing bombs around.
It’s already happening because we’re dealing with con artists and cunning megalomaniacs.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What movie trailer was better than the actual movie?
14·4 days agoThree…movies…
For an otherwise 350-page book.
I’m still not over that. My solution to the Hobbit mess was, go for broke and make one 3-hour film. If the LOTR movies were long and got extended editions, why not Hobbit? No it got 3 whole movies and so much stuff got crammed in there that honestly shouldn’t have been in there in the first place.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your opinions on name changes in general?
6·5 days agoYeah because Cape Town Stadium - that sounds like it’s an establishment of community. Like the name is named after something that represented that community.
But when you hear DHL Stadium, it’s like they expect you to go there, after paying tickets and be thinking about “WHA, I THINK I WANT…I WANT TO SHIP SOMETHING BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT BUT I HAVE THIS STRONG DESIRE TO SHIP SOMETHING WITH DHL! PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY!”
That’s what they want anyways.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your opinions on name changes in general?
32·5 days agoI roll my eyes everytime a stadium is named after some company, it’s just a reminder of how radioactive capitalism is in america.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you had the opportunity to travel back in time to the 2000s or 2010s, what would you change to make the world a better place?
12·6 days agoYeah but my point is, we’d still have democrats in office to ensure no Republican is voted in to destroy the country from within. Gore would’ve won over Bush, we’d still have Obama, we might’ve even had Bernie Sanders or so. All politicians who’re democratic who might not just keep Reaganism alive, they have their own ways too.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you had the opportunity to travel back in time to the 2000s or 2010s, what would you change to make the world a better place?
21·7 days agoWe make it so Reagan still runs but doesn’t win presidency, ever, until he dies. We make sure Bill Clinton doesn’t do that incident with Monica that got him impeached so he can still have some goodwill with the people enough to make them think we want the current path he paved to continue.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you had the opportunity to travel back in time to the 2000s or 2010s, what would you change to make the world a better place?
41·7 days agoThat’s dumb.
What would’ve really needed to happen is to speak to the parents and the school about “hey, your child and student is doing some pretty fucked up things and they’re raising the stakes soon, so you may want to commit them somewhere or talk or smack some sense into them”

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you had the opportunity to travel back in time to the 2000s or 2010s, what would you change to make the world a better place?
6·7 days agoI’d pump the brakes on technology. Especially the internet.
“Does X need to be improved?” “No” “Then we don’t progress it because its current state functions and does things as efficiently right now” “Does Y need to be improved?” “Yes” “Then we research, fund and progress it”
Phones would be fun again and not just a series of rectangles with silicone. They’d have any design that they want, so long as it still functions normally as a phone would.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the hardest addiction you've tried to break or are trying to break?
6·8 days agoEnvious of the people with good metabolisms who can practically eat everything in one day and gain maybe…1 pound.
Feels like anything I eat I’m going to gain like 10 pounds despite how light it was.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do some people try to humanize the wealthy and people in positions of power?
1·9 days agoMost of the voters who vote Republican are usually rural. They’re the people out in the middle of bumfuck no where, with their farms, their farm animals and what little family they have. And all that they can afford are things like dial-up internet. So they’re completely out of touch with more ‘civilized’ people who’re in towns and cities.
And even so, there are people who are completely nuanced and naive to what is before them even with better access to information. They can’t and won’t challenge their intellect, they won’t question information as to what’s infront of them. Nothing. Just deliberately clueless and oblivious.

This is a morbid take but it applies to me right now.
After 30 or 30s rather, you are in a position of your life where you can look back at everything that has lead up to your life at its current point. If you decide that your life hasn’t been as fruitful as you wanted it to be, you’ve endured a lot of shortcomings, you’ve taken a lot of shit on the chin, you’re not looking forward to growing old where anything and everything will take advantage of you. I can’t blame a single person who decided to call it a wrap, if you know what I mean.
I plan on going on a little more further but there will be a stage in my life where I’ve got nothing to both look forward to and nothing worth of merit that had made my life completely worthwhile, where I’d just call it right then and there.
