Mongostein,

We should start a pool on how long until the corporate enshittification of Mastadon starts.

Mongostein,

It’s more about the controls than the graphics. Like, GTA San Andreas is probably still my favourite one, but trying to play with the old controls after having played with the new ones is so hard.

All they gotta do is update the controls and it’s all good

Mongostein,

Wal-Mart’s not really any better than Amazon

Mongostein,

I’m not a big fan of either. Is this how I find out I’m non-binary?

Mongostein,

It’s around somewhere. I’ve seen it in ALL

Mongostein,

Yeah. That’s why we sit down to poop; to push it out.

Mongostein,

Ok, so you’re being lied to by proxy

Mongostein,

The article says

“This is an old Disney scam where they change the name of a show slightly to void the terms of the contract.

They didn’t even close the quote. Did he say more? And to who? This site will also give you viruses. Don’t click it.

Mongostein,

Ah. Didn’t look in to it that hard earlier. Looks like I’ve got a bot to block.

Mongostein,

As a permittee with IATSE myself, he brings up a good point. You should post this and everyone should downvote this bot.

Mongostein,

I want an open air waterslide all the way down Niagara Falls.

Mongostein,

Whaaaaaaa??

Mongostein,

I played the Kamala campaign and had lots of fun. Got bored on the Kate Bishop campaign and didn’t continue.

Mongostein,

The funny thing is though, I would buy this on a T-shirt

Mongostein,

$1800/month? That’s fucking insane. Look in to community living groups. I was turned on to it while I was in school (at 35 🤷🏻‍♂️) as a cheap option while I went back. I know we’ve all had room mate horror stories, but there are people out there who are willing to co-operate and work towards having a home.

Four years on and now I’m running the house (it’s just a rental with lots of rooms) and we have a great group of 5 that’s been together for over a year, including a 9 year old. (Most of us have been together 2 years now, we had a housemate leave amicably last summer).

I’ll admit the first two years were kinda rough. It took me a bit to recognize the red flags I needed to - and to build up the courage to be able to say “no, you wouldn’t be a good fit” to people I’ve known for years. I had some dramatic experiences trying to find the right people, but we’ve got a nice home now and we each pay around $600/month for a whole-ass home!

It does take work; physical, mental, and emotional, but saving $1200/month is worth it. You’ve gotta be able to communicate your needs respectfully and be able to look at yourself and acknowledge where you need to improve to be able to get along with people.

The rewards are worth it. We all work less now so we have weekly dinner and D&D and movie nights and it’s really quite nice. We still bump elbows from time to time, but we all know each other well enough now that it’s easy to solve conflict calmly.

Mongostein,

Right? Like wtf is Sunday school?

Mongostein,

Is this a glitch in the lemmyverse or did you reply to the wrong comment? The comment you replied to, as seen by me anyway, says nothing about taxes.

Mongostein,

Yeah and those fuckers wanna bitch about “indoctrination”

Mongostein,

Steampunk is the healthiest way to eat your punk.

Mongostein,

Yup. RIP

Mongostein,

Yeah. If you’re spending $1500 on the brand new iPhone I’m sure an extra $30 to still be able to use your accessories isn’t a big deal.

Just stay a couple years behind on Apple stuff and it’s not that expensive. I got a brand new iPhone 11 for $300 a in 2021 (it released in 2019). I’ll use it for probably four years. In 2025 I’ll probably be buying this year’s model.

Mongostein, (edited )

Good. It’s going to be the first place to drown.

Mongostein, (edited )

I enjoyed the episode, but didn’t love it.

I can’t really put my finger on why, but I just don’t like Hera and her kid. Is it just the she-doesn’t-seem-like-general thing? Remember when Leia came back as a general? She was badass, Hera seems like a sarcastic teenager that always gets her way. I just can’t get behind Her. 🤷🏻‍♂️

All this new force stuff is weird. I think I’m tired of Star Wars in general not being able to decide what the force is and does. Any other franchise I probably would have been like, “whooooooaaaaa cool!” but I was like, “enh. Force does that now? Ok I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️”

That being said, it was cool to see Anakin and the Clone Wars flashbacks.

And now I’m confused. Anakin turned to the light before his death, right? So why’s he being a massive asshole to Ahsoka? Is this some kind of post-death inner struggle?

The space whales were mega cool though.

I dunno. I love The Mandalorian and Andor. All the other shows seem to focus on fan service over story.

Mongostein,

What are you doing with your cables that “structural rigidity” is a major concern?

Mongostein,

You came in here picking a fight but everyone else is an asshole. Ok there.

Mongostein,

He’s a cold meany, that one

Mongostein,

At least Zorg is funny

Mongostein,

My finger poking through the toilet paper? Trudeau’s fault.

Mongostein,

Who gives a shit? Companies lie to us all the time.

Mongostein,

Crips and Bloods out there endorsing Biden.

🙄

Mongostein,

It’s been the Republican playbook for decades. Get the populace riled up about Satan or Gays or AIDS or now trans people and you can rob them blind while saying it was them.

Mongostein,

People want green energy, but the government uses our tax dollars to give subsidies to oil companies and buys them pipelines and RCMP to protect them.

Why do they do this? Because their rich friends pay them to. Fuck the liberals, fuck the conservatives, fuck the RCMP. They only serve the rich.

If we had a real free market economy - or if our governments hadn’t been corporate stooges for the last 50 years - gas would be way more expensive than it already is and the transition to green energy would be much further along.

Mongostein,

In the original games you have to stop if your friend starts a conversation during co-op.

I don’t know what my point is.

Mongostein,

I’m with you. This guy just doesn’t like movies I guess.

Mongostein,

Be like Butters

Mongostein,

Hey Mr. Tech journalist, why don’t you write about federated communities and get off the corpo-web? Help us all out with that big name of yours I’ve never heard.

Edit: oops. That was meant to be a top level comment. Whatever.

Mongostein,

Nah, that’s a former reddit mod

Mongostein,

Aw I bunged up the app. Ok continuing here…

Haha ain’t no rock gonna stop Ahsoka!

Simultaneous Master vs Master and Apprentice vs Apprentice fights. Nice.

Oh damn buddy you just got your ass kicked!

Ouch that’s a hot map!

Oh he ain’t done yet!

Oh man she just chucked that chick against a rock!

She fell. Enh she’ll be back. The show is named after her after all. She probably landed on a millennium falcon or something.

Oh, buddy’s playing with her emotions. Don’t fall for it Sabine! It’s a classic sith trick!

Greater good?? Dude, you serve the literal embodiment of evil in this universe.

No, it’s not the only way. Kill him!

Awwwww why?? You told Ahsoka she could count on you!

Space fight time!

Of course now he destroys the map. Sabine you idiot.

Cool. Classic X-Wing pilot shots.

Holy shit they just smashed through all those ships! No space fight I guess. Just a space demolition. That poor rhodian.

The kid almost said the line! (Where are his tendrils??)

Where the hell is she? In the map? Did she cross in to the Halo universe? Looks like a light bridge.

Oh shiiiiit it’s Anakin!

Is she dead?

Nah

Mongostein,

Ahhh ok.

Overall I enjoyed it very much! The show’s got its issues, but it’s like… have you seen Star Wars?

Mongostein,

Ah yeah I agree with pretty much everything you’ve said. I’d give it a seven though.

I’m not too concerned about there being a place where dead Jedi can talk to the living. Kind of a stretch, but sure.

Same with the random new Sith people.

Feloni is once again trying to fit in between two time periods so I’ll cut him some slack, especially with how poorly handled the sequel trilogy was. I just hope they eventually let him work without the baggage of trying to fix sloppy movies.

Mongostein,

I don’t think he’s trying to redeem the sequels, but just make them make sense. There’s a 30 year gap to fill. I think it can be done.

They’re obviously leading up to the cloning of Palpatine in Mando and now Ahsoka is joining Mando in showing how the New Republic botched it so hard that the Empire came back.

He’s also using popular parts of the Legend canon to do it, which will hopefully calm down some of the rabid EU-fans.

Mongostein,

I didn’t even know that guy’s name. Not every death has to be spectacular, I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah that’s a good point. He’s kind of a useless little turd. And where the frick are his tendrils??

Mongostein,

So, China just threatened Vietnam?

Mongostein,

I have to ask. He’s never released info on me. Am I his handler?

Mongostein,

Come on guys, it’s for business

Mongostein,

Honestly, tow makes more sense to me. Many people helping to tow a rope, or a line, makes it easier so it would be like saying, “get in line and help out.”

The use of “toe the line”, given this context, is more like, “get in line for competition.”

Mongostein,

I use ropes at work and “line” is commonly used term for a rope or steel wire or whatever you’re hanging or pulling things with.
