What band or music group would you not have minded if they didn't have a certain band member?
  • They could record it with Miles Kennedy. I like his voice better than Axl’s from what I’ve heard. I would listen to it.

  • Fox News Rushes to Embrace Harrison Butker’s ‘Quite Tender’ Speech
  • If he gets treated better than Kaepernick I might quit the NFL. He needs to lose his job and either come crawling back to another team down the road after an apology tour (Michael Vick style) or stay gone and join Fox News.

  • Cannes crowd boos Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis
  • It’s at 47% now yikes. Seems like most critics saying it’s horrible, a few saying it has some redeeming qualities, and some positive reviews that appear to be fake.

  • Which are the most fucked up books you've read?
  • Is it just like America where the most religious dudes watch the sickest porn?

  • Which are the most fucked up books you've read?
  • That one is crazy how the main character does shitty things like wiping out civilizations just out of spite, then he impregnates a teenage girl and the baby grows up and is all nice and loving but says he is actually his dad and he/his dad love everyone. So much gaslighting.

  • People under 30, do you know what a Rocky Montage is?
  • Of course it’s that thing in Rocky Horror where the camera flashes from bedroom to bedroom in Frank’s sex castle and everybody is singing and fucking, then Janet realizes it’s NOT Brad in her bed

  • Cannot view posts on reddit in browser from search.
  • Absolutely. Often there are no fucking useful search results on Google at all besides Reddit threads…

  • What's a common feature of video games we could really use in real life?
  • Difficulty setting. I play on easy mode and DGAF what anyone thinks because my time is precious and I’m playing for fun. I decide what’s fun.

    Creative/cheat mode…let me just pause, build myself a fantastic 10 story house… Open inventory and spawn a wife, 3 kids, a dog and 2 billion dollars in my pocket. Oh no, does that mean I can't get achievements because I cheated? Oh well.

    Steal a car, lose the cops and it’s mine now. No consequences.

    Important story moments of your life play as cutscenes which you have no control over…so you can’t mess it up and know you’re exactly where you should be. This would be peaceful.

    Hints & tutorials.

    Things you buy spawn instantly wherever you are

    Closed captioning for all dialogue and other sounds

    Increase skills simply by grinding, even for things like skateboarding, singing, playing music, acrobatics etc that require raw talent and YEARS of training/practice

  • [MacRumors] Jony Ive and OpenAI's Sam Altman Seeking Funding for Personal AI Device
  • Could be very interesting. It’s so strange to me with current advancements in AI that Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant are all dumb as shit. When will we get a device that is actually smart?

  • Very true. If a product is a good deal and quality, social media with unbiased opinions will tell you. Getting a good deal on a $30 backpack cooler isn’t a good deal if you buy it just because it was featured on some website and it sucks or you don’t use it. I almost never buy anything expensive or important without seeing what folks say about it on Reddit. I’m looking at buying this backpack cooler on sale and a friend tells you yeah they are cool but kill your back and you’ll never use it. Deal of the day just isn’t a good way to buy shit.

  • Two 2000's tech things I'm shocked still exist
  • How much was it as opposed to just buying on Amazon?

  • Two 2000's tech things I'm shocked still exist
    1. PCMag - I used to physically walk into a store and buy that magazine to read about computers…before the internet was so clean and fast it made for a better news and media experience. I’m pretty sure PCMag has been around since they included AOL cds with an isssue.

    2. Woot! Lol…why? Woot was always stupid. The deals were never good. There is no need for it.

    Both of these give me a lot of nostalgia for the early 2000’s. Playing games on Yahoo messenger. GameCube, PS2, OG Xbox.

    Shocked they still exist, let alone have the funds to be running Facebook ads.

    After eight years, i resigned as a moderator of my community
  • I don’t know that anything will be the same because it took so long for everyone to gather there and make 100,000 thriving communities about every random little thing from rare diseases to Pokémon made from toilet paper tubes, sexy John Oliver, kids getting hit on the head. If got interested in some random TV show, you could find a sub where there would be 100 interesting conversations about it. That just doesn’t exist outside of Reddit. Where even could it? Fucking Quora? Facebook groups?

    I don’t know what anyone could have done to preserve it though. If it’s POSSIBLE to slap a million ads on it and make a billion dollars, but definitely ruin it forever…it’s inevitable. Nothing can stop that.

  • After eight years, i resigned as a moderator of my community
  • I wonder if they don’t even want mods. Just AI/algorithms and ads. What is 100 well moderated, mindful discussions worth compared to a single, well targeted ad?

  • After eight years, i resigned as a moderator of my community
  • I’m sorry. The corporate assholes don’t deserve to pad their fat wallets based on your free labor, but it’s still absolutely the loss of something you love when you step away and it hurts. I’m still grieving losing Apollo and all of the goofy, weird ass little subs and brilliant human beings who made me laugh and cry every day on Reddit. It’s not been replaced in my life. It took millions of us almost 20 years to make that stupid website something incredible…I can’t deny that it was incredible at points.

    It’s gone, it’s just a website now and an app with ads every 3rd pixel just like the rest. There is still some good content and good people, just as there are on TikTok, Bookface, X and insta. The decent shit that is there, on all of the platforms, is overwhelmed by their horrible algorithm trying to sell you shit and increase engagement to monetize your every click.

  • What's the worst scam you've fallen for (or gotten close to falling for)?
    1. Bought a timeshare in Vegas. Never used it. Paid the mortgage and maintenance fees for a few years then said fuckem and just stopped. Such a scam. They went out of business during the 2008 recession and it eventually fell off of our credit reports.

    2. Sold cutco knives in college (MLM). Perfectly fine product but overpriced and they basically get you pester all of your family and friends. I paid for the sample products myself. Made the biggest sale to my parents. Mostly just embarrassing.

    3. I bought speakers out a van like some other commenters. Probably paid too much, they sounded good and I used them for at least 10 years.

  • “You’re Not Doing a Prank,” Tucker Carlson Tells Man Pranking Him
  • Some guys told them they edited Kate Middleton’s pics and were whistleblowers so he interviewed them. They told him we aren’t really this is a prank and he said nuh uh.

    Link to clip, I’m not watching it. The article was funny in the wording but the whole thing itself doesn’t actually seem very funny.

  • 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G mobile data made some sense as it represents generational leaps in the technology itself but then Xfinity wants to advertise "10g" internet...

    Comcast says it represents a 10 Gigabit cable internet network they are building (it doesn’t exist) so they are basically changing the meaning of the g from generation to gig to act like 10g is 5 generations better (or twice as fast)…or that they have a 10 gigabit network. Neither is accurate. It’s still just cable internet that people have to use because they have no other option.

    Fuck Comcast.

    I read online they are abandoning the “confusing” 10g branding but I just saw a commercial for it. They think all of their customers are morons and count on folks having no other choices in a lot of cases.

    Apologies to anyone outside the United States, this is just complaining about our poor internet options and deceptive advertising by greedy corporations.

    Who would you rather face - Ravens or Chiefs and why?

    I would prefer to play and beat the Chiefs. The Ravens are very intimidating and they have a great team but I find the Chiefs more fun to watch and while they are hard to beat I don’t feel as afraid of them. Is that crazy?

    Anyone else do "last chance socks"?

    That thing where you put on a fresh pair of socks and one has a hole so you think well I went to all that trouble to pull it on, this will be your last day little buddy, I’ll just throw it away after I wear it today.

    Last chance underwear happen now and again as well but I guess it depends on where the hole is.

    Bard is great as long as you tell it what day it is before you ask a question...

    Really boggles my mind when I ask can ask it questions about live NFL games and it can answer in real time but I’ll ask another question and it doesn’t know what day today is…tells me the 2022 season is over because it is cycling into from some rando blog, I think. So smart and so fucking stupid.

    Honda's commercials saying they are going to be carbon neutral by 2050. What?

    What does this mean, if anything? How would it be possible for a car company to be carbon neutral? Is this just nonsense/posturing since it’s so long from now?

    Can anyone explain "Good Burger 2" to me? why does anyone want to watch this?

    Background for myself, I was a viewer when Good Burger was a sketch on “All That,” a children’s sketch comedy show on Nickelodeon in the 90’s. It was basically Saturday night live for kids. They had this heavyset girl who sarcastically read the news like Chevy Chase and shit. It was pretty edgy for nine-year-olds. Good Burger wasn’t even the funniest sketch on the fucking show. All of the comedy revolved around Kel’s character talking like a white surfer/stoner guy…like Bill & Ted, also popular around the time. He misunderstood peoples orders in an adorable way…I’d like a shake so he would shake you. Great.

    In 1997 I graduated high school and they released the movie that year… I guess it’s nostalgic and that’s why people remember it. Other 90s kids? Similar to SNL movies, it had cameos from a bunch of stars, and sort of a built-in audience, I guess, because of TV. I’m not sure if it went to theaters, but if it did, I don’t know who in the hell would watch it. Seems more like a VHS or Nickelodeon in the afternoon kind of thing.

    For me, I don’t understand how they could squeeze anything longer than a seven minute sketch out of the concept. I guess he Keenan Thompson is funny, but even him I’ve never seen him be funny longer than a seven minute sketch. And Kel is kind of like Jason Mewes, a novelty and not really a comedian or actor. Cool that he’s still around, like the Chinese kid from Indiana Jones.

    Edit to add - Ke Huy Quan deserved the Oscar as he’s talented…Kel is not, only nostalgic imo

    OK then. Doesn’t make sense to me that this movie was made or that anyone is in it or that anyone would want to watch it. But the Internet won’t stop trying to get me to see it. And it has like 67% critic rating on rotten tomatoes. Am I missing something? There are lots of fantastic movies that barely have 67%.

    OK Microsoft... trying to log into Teams while work lapop updates to Windows 11. No longer works in any iPhone browser, including Edge. The app will not authenticate my work login.

    Update…Per Microsoft’s instructions, disabled all tracking protections in Safari and requested desktop mode and it works. Their instructions say turn protections back on after using teams… 😐

    Funny enough it works in Safari and not Edge…tho that may be Apple’s fault since all browsers are somewhat just versions of Safari, last I heard…

    Teen daughter - I might as well be an alien to her

    Posting this separate after my comment became so long…

    I’m having a general panic that my 15 year old daughter does not need me at all and I do not factor into her life whatsoever. Try to speak to her and she teases me and brushes me off. Her girlfriend wrote my wife a lovely note how she and my son are so lucky to have a mother who cares about them so much. No mention or even nod to the fact that I exist. We parent as a team…the way she is raised and all of the love and support she gets is 50/50 in my opinion, although my wife has the direct conversations about relationships, sex, girl stuff because she doesn’t want to talk to me about that.

    I suffered emotionally as a kid/teen and I have fought to get her therapy and medication, she went from being anxious beyond belief with suicidal ideation to pretty fucking happy nowadays…and that’s because I fought for that, based on my experience. I’ve given her the support I wish I had.

    Anyway, I hope it’s just a phase and she will talk to me again someday without giggling like I’m just a weirdo. I know what it’s like to be a teenager, I have a lot of wisdom. I love the shit out of her. I hope it passes and we are super close again at some point.

    Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man?

    Social media seems to be laughing its ass off about this tragedy, is it because the folks at burning man are perceived as frivolous hippies or something? Everyone I’ve ever met who was a regular burning man attendee has been a solid human being with strong morals, personally and financially responsible, a career. Upstanding members of society for sure. I guess all some people know is the sensationalized drugs and sex. A person died. This is a tragedy for an event that brings positivity into the world. Kind of annoyed.
