Stayin Alive circa 2001 on my crappy boombox .
Very possibly so. I’m also not a huge believer in the sanctity of lore when you are adapting something to a different medium. IE, didnt miss Tom Bombadil in the Lord if the Rings movies so I’m pretty easy going as long as the adaptation is good in its own right.
Tap for spoiler
But seriously though, fuck Bran. Terrible character, just completely uninteresting and
lameuncool from the word go. Gets Hodor killed, somehow through unexplained time travel causes Hodor’s “hodor” problem. A girl takes him all the way through the frozen north just for him to say, bye now! Trash character. Ser Davos should have been King at the end.
Same here just finished it a few weeks ago.
I never read the books but for my money I thought the last season was really good. It maybe didnt end the way I wanted it to but it wasnt a bad ending by any means.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you use the "uno reverse card"?English
5·26 days agoWe never played that way in my circles but when I would play with 2 people reverse basically did nothing so we would start with 9 cards and reverse would do the same thing as a skip.
Oh no. How come?

United States | News & Politics@midwest.social•U.S. grocery slowdown deepens as shoppers buy fewer items, raising pressure on food companiesEnglish
2·1 month agoThis article is pretty disingenuous. I would have expected CNBC to actually bring up economic factors at play besides just inflation.
For instance, tarrifs on imported goods raising the price of food packaging, rising fuel costs that have almost doubled the freight cost in just the last 12 months and also most importantly, the blatant gouging that the 4 food producing conglomerates have been perpetuating on consumers since 2022.
1 company makes all the crackers, all the crackers are expensive. All the chicken produced goes through 2 companies, what incentive do they ever have to lower prices again. Just double the cost, sell half as much but also cut production cost in half and suddenly you are making a bigger profit than before. Poor people can’t afford to buy anything you make anymore? Oh well, line is going up!

121·2 months agoBlu ray discs cost pennies to manufacture, especially at scale.
Also, Sony owns the blu ray IP.
Also also, if they gave a fuck they could just ship 2 discs in a box. Like they did at the tail end of the xbox 360 days.
They’d just rather not deal with it anymore.




















There’s no magic answer. My best advice having wasted half my life trying to accomplish what seemed like a “good life” I ended up nearly broke and divorced with almost nothing but suffering to show for my time.
Now I pursue what makes me happy and only try to be as successful as I need to be so that I can keep doing what makes me happy. One day I’ll be dead, and then whatever pile of shit I accumulated will be unceremoniously thrown in the trash by a distant relative. But if I can build something or help someone, then that’s what I feel like doing with my time. Its not hedonism but its sort of a disengage ment from the rat race. Im not trying to get rich or gain power, I’m trying to relax and enjoy my life and help people while I can.
