last refuge of the desperate, building a gambling app, or gambling themselves.

its also a one time tax, newsome is trying to make it national in the hopes it will get defeated in congress.

if you seen the pokemon scalpers, pretty much. people who dont even play it try to cash in on it.

pokemon refuses to do anything about scalping they are just halfassing it. the best is to increase the pull rate of rares, preventing them to sell it.

i started avoiding those threads, prior to lemmy, because people were getting bans, or temp bans, especially because it resulted in large purges.

responding to people the youtube sub how they are supporting youtubes algorithim and slop by watching it and logging in, and they were complaining about youtubers that are producing slop. i was telling them how you cant complain about people like mr beast and defend him at the same time.

and saying how right wing content gets through the feed if you are not logged in, and i wasnt going to give google more data by logging in just to curate the feed.

thats why the gop is obsessed with birthing more conservative: slash education funding, block sex ed, indoctrinate via manosphere, anti-abortions,etc.

our winters got colder and drier, we know its a mediterrinean climate here in the west coast, the ecology reflects that. there are 4-or 5. Chapparal, mottaral, of course mediterrenean basin, and perth.

it was only 1 year it got extremely hot and rainy, it was 2017, a whole month of non-stop deluge, and then the summer went up to 108f. pandemic winter is just very cold(bad for atopic dermatitis sufferers,chillblains)

invincible gets a downgrade, due to thier animation being worst than the previous season. they shouldve used proper VAs for the show aside from the “main characthers”

wokeness

i assume he dint mean wokeness in the conservative sense, but adding “inclusive” characthers that diverges from the plot , alot of shows are like this.

SEASON 6 of expanse was wierd, and i dint like the "stargate-esque ending.

sandman, why gender swap lucifer, it has always been male, even in other lore. as far as angels go when they posses other humans, they can raceswap/genderswap all theyw ant. its not faithful to source material, there are several others. it would be wierd to do it to Mazikeen to.

neon genesis, is all over the place. rebuild bring some of closure. wish they made the angels have better fights though.

nobody mentioned invincible: season 1 was great, but season 2 and on, has been subpar due to degrading animation of the show. you dont have to hire every FAMOUS celebrity to VA the show, which likely took all the budget of the show. there are VAs for a reason. some of the VA do not match the characters they are playing at all.

true, they couldve done better on the writing and acting, they were trying to right some wrongs with picard and std that couldnt do that.

books are valid sources, if your looking at books written by opinions and on fiction thats on you. there are plenty of non-fiction books out there with valid research sources.

people dint think mythic quest was good, it was too cringey, and it served as propaganda for UBISOFT, since they used thier material alot. i suspect ROB machelenny(rob mac) just did it for cash grabs.

kurtzman shouldve stuck with prodigy and LD, instead of making the 3 live action nutrek series, he was pretty bad at it.
