Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Newsom threatens to cut state funding to universities that sign Trump's political compact10·3 days agoWhat on earth are you talking about? California has the fourth largest economy in the entire world, only behind the US as a whole, China, and Germany.
Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldto movies@piefed.social•First poster for untitled "The Simpsons Movie" sequel8·5 days agoCopying my comment from another thread:
By the time this movie comes out, the first movie (2007) will be closer in time to the first episode (1989) than to the second movie (2027).
No, not trolling. I’d never heard that they had a policy against it until I looked it up just now.
Somehow I was under the impression that devs didn’t even get a say as to if or when Steam would put their games on sale. I thought I had heard that as a major gripe of devs who list games on Steam.
Now I’ll have to decide when I feel like it’s worth the remainder of my life and $35.
Does Factorio ever go on sale? I think I’ve had it wishlisted for over a year now.

Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Sinclair Says Kimmel Suspension is Not Enough, Calls on FCC and ABC to Take Additional Action8·18 days agoReally, he didn’t even say anything that Kash Patel and the governor of Utah didn’t already say (“praying it wasn’t one of us”), he just said it as a humorous joke on prime time TV, instead of pathetic jokes during press conferences.
Stone Cold Jane Austen smackdown!
Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Tech CEOs keep praising TrumpEnglish10·28 days agoI’m fairly certain that episode aired at least a week before the dinner shown in this post. It’s like reality couldn’t stand to be outdone by South Park.
Unfortunately, it does make sense through a neo-nazi lens. “The wrong side won WWII” and similar sentiments are getting a lot of traction on twitter, facebook, etc. right now. The OP in the image is sarcastically “glad” that the Allies won. He would have preferred that the nazis had won so the global third reich could protect Murfreesboro, TN from people who are different than him and fulfill whatever other twisted racist fantasies exist in these people’s minds.
Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•007 Goldfinger is very overrated.English4·1 month agoThe only reason the military is able to swoop in and stop Goldfinger is because he was still able to gather and transmit intel even as a prisoner. Plus, removed Galore didn’t release the actual deadly gas because James told her it was fatal and not harmless like Goldfinger had said. Her “switching sides,” of course, paralleling the creepy “fixing her lesbian-ness” overtones.
It’s not that he’s a bad spy for getting captured, it’s that he’s good enough to save the day even from captivity.
However, he is a bad spy for getting both of the Masterson sisters killed.

Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's going on with imgur right now?31·1 month agoand the users are revolting
Yeah, they’ve always been a little off, haven’t they?
Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•US states rethink a long-held practice of setting speed limits based on how fast drivers travel8·2 months agoThe 85th percentile rule is why Civil Engineers catch shit about not being real engineers. It’s basically:
“How fast can cars safely go on this road?”
“I dunno. How fast are they going now?”
Speed limit should be factored into (and a function of) road design, not just measured and guessed at after the fact.
Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Joe Rogan Doesn't Understand Graphs12·2 months agoAnd yet he’s consistently had the largest podcast audience in the world for about a decade with tens of millions of loyal followers. “Important” doesn’t imply “good,” or “smart,” or “correct.” A tumor is important. Yes, he’s a moron and all the other things you said, but he’s also a massively important voice for whatever happens to rattle between his ears.
Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•This seems applicable to quite a few thingsEnglish16·2 months agoWhat a shame that the efforts of Frank Zappa, John Denver, and Dee Snyder are all but forgotten.
Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldto Television@piefed.social•TV Ratings: ‘South Park’ On-Air Viewers Surge With Season 27’s Second Episode5·2 months agoStill, the show has a massive and mixed audience. If this is what it takes for the not-politically-engaged cohort to get the message that liking trump isn’t “cool” anymore, then it’s still a huge step in the right direction.
Thunderbird4@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Rockstar Games Plans Age Verification For GTA OnlineEnglish1·2 months agoYes, it’s voluntary and self-imposed by the game industry to avoid exactly this kind of nanny-state bullshit. Ergo, if governments proceed with the bullshit anyway, then there’s no longer a need for the ESRB or PEGI.
He fixes the cable?
