Love the soft gold lighting.

🎶I can show you the woooorrrllld, shining, shimmering, splendid🎶

Hey, good for you! Well done!

Huh, the more you know. Thanks.

Yeah, exactly. If it was the same size as a S7, I might consider it actually small.

This is really quite striking. Love the contrast.

Yeah, look at her hand on the left - it kinda morphs into the whiteboard.

Yeah they’ve come a long way but it still looks weirdly cartoony sometimes, like something you’d find on a kids tablet or something. I just install Nova Launcher or Niagara Launcher and that way you only have to interact with the menus, which aren’t too bad IMHO.

I have the PD non wireless stick on car mount and can confirm it’s expensive for what it is, but it does look and feel premium. Holds my S23u well, to.

It’s called ‘The Fortress of Doom’, which is a… choice. Fort Grayskull sounds much better, tbf.

Yeah, it’s that disconnect. You’re right. Feels like the games were made by two different studios or something.

For me it was how seriously Eternal took itself. Doom 2016 had a story but Doom guy didn’t care and was just there to kill demons. It was a running joke how little he gave a shit. Then suddenly in Eternal he can talk, was some kind of Chosen one and there’s this grandiose story with Heaven etc and it’s all way too up itself. I just want to shoot Demons. That’s it. Don’t try and make it more than it needs to be.

There is no Season 2 of Altered Carbon. You’re mistaken. You’re. Mistaken.

You mention ‘solve world hunger’, implying you know that’s the outcome already. That’s an easier choice then, isn’t it. The point I’m making is that doing something because it’s the right thing to do regardless of whether you know it’s going to work is what makes it a bigger sacrifice. The person I was replying to was also implying they would only consider sacrificing something if they knew the outcome first. If we all did that we’d never achieve anything.

Then it sounds like you’ve made your choices, and you should be satisfied with them. That’s a good thing. Those compromises and reductions have moved the needle. A little, maybe, but it’s still doing something. Good for you. 👍.

Insignificant in the wider picture, maybe. But as you imply we have little to no control over that. All we can influence is our own actions, and hope that will be enough. The problem with the defeatist attitude that so often surrounds any discourse regarding, for example, climate change is that by declaring success impossible before you even try, all you do is guarantee failure.

All one need do is chose what changes one wishes to make and then make them to the best of one’s abilities. That’s it. If you can look yourself in the eye and say ‘I did all I could. I did my best’ then you have succeeded. Will it achieve everything we want it to? Maybe not, but it’ll achieve 100% more than not trying. Ultimately we all have a responsibility to do what we can. So I argue we should all try and do just that and be content that we did our best, because I will not except defeat. How about you?

If you already knew the outcome, it wouldn’t be much of a sacrifice would it. Sometimes we need to do something because it’s the right thing to do, not because it guarantees success.

I enjoyed Greenland with Gerrard Butler. I appreciated the focus on the human element that didn’t feel annoying.

Part of that truth is also that there is positive news out there, more than people are necessarily aware of, but OPs very valid point is you rarely find that discussed on Lemmy. And when it is brought up people take great delight in torpedoing it. That’s not realistic, that’s defeatist doomerism.
