I’m not really sure this is the right community for ya bud

I just can’t see you changing any minds or naturally fostering a materialist understanding in this manner

They aren’t trying to do either, they want to rage bait people into debating them so they can le epically SMASH them with facts and logic.

The highest rated comment has an answer in the reply and they’re both older than your comment?

Weird forced flex but I guess it tracks

Musth is a periodic condition in male elephants characterized by aggressive behavior and accompanied by a large rise in reproductive hormones.

The image from the OOP is in the article. TL;DR, male elephants get crazy angry when they’re horny you assert their dominance.

Mistakes are fine, it’s how you handle them. Instead of saying, “huh, I’m not sure if you’re right or not; let’s look it up, or just move on” he decided to adamantly defend his (incorrect) position.

Kinda like what you’re doing! Hahey!

“The only red flag was the red flag”

I get that these are “sticking it to the AI companies”, but aren’t we also supposed to be freaking out about how much energy these things consume and pollution caused by them?

They’re mad at #2 because #1 gives them all the money they need to do #3. So why do they need my money too?

This isn’t a name and shame situation. You don’t know that the game devs did anything wrong, so “naming and shaming” them would only exacerbate their problem if the negative reviews are unwarranted.

Because your top level comment makes sense while the rest of your replies devolved into a caps-locked crash out aimed at anything resembling nuance. Now I’m more convinced you’re 14.

14 year olds when they see someone criticizing their lifestyle:

Ahhhh. That makes sense. Thanks

I don’t see what you’re talking about, zip tie or poorly parked SUV

I hate that I’m writing this because I’m gonna sound like the *"to be fair * copy pasta but, the fact that it’s so lame and stupid is kind of the whole point of the bit.

He gives his big “I’m pickle Riiiiick!” presentation like it’s supposed to be some big huge awesome thing, and it’s presented like a punchline that you’re supposed to laugh at and find funny… Then it’s a hard cut to Morty’s disappointed, slightly concerned face for a solid 10 seconds. Morty is you, the viewer, painfully unimpressed by what is presented as, well, “the funniest shit ever”.

Remember in an earlier episode when Rick makes a reference to the non-existent Redgren Grumblholdt, and the kids laugh because they think it’s supposed to be funny and just want to fit in? Those are the people that the “funniest shit ever” meme is about. People that are fed an intentionally bad joke, don’t understand the irony behind the bad joke, but sees that everyone else is laughing at the bad joke, so they pretend the joke is funny. Two people laughing at the same thing for entirely different reasons.

The whole Pickle Rick plotline is just background events anyways. The meat and potatoes of the episode is with Dr Wong.

I feel like they’re more likely talking about Jeff Roiland’s (edit: creator, one of the main writers, and voice actor for most male characters (including both Rick and Morty)) abuse allegations, after which they canned him as writer/ voice actor and the show kind of lost it’s flair.

Close, I DM’ed a short-lived DnD campaign a year ago.

I remember having a thought one day as a young kid while interacting with a DVD main menu (the kind that had clips from the movie playing in the background, and would play a specific clip depending on what menu you went in to).

“This is basically how video games work, there’s a bunch of options you can choose from and depending on what you do it shows you something. Videogames are just DVD menus with way more options.”

I grew up to not be a programmer.

Can’t you just check your bank account?

I have “saved” a lot of money over the years … yet my bank account doesn’t reflect that.

What the hell was the point of your original question 😂

For real. I opened Lemmy the other day and had to block someone for the first time because they’d spammed the shit post community with pages of them within a few minutes. Like I enjoy viral memes as much as the next guy, but one person completely overran my entire feed from dozens of communities by posting what amounts to the same thing over 100 times in 2 minutes. I genuinely don’t get why people are trying to convince everyone they think it’s funny or enjoyable.
