Its even more mind blowing if you read the book. There are a lot more stupid things he does like becoming a wrestler, and an astronaut who goes on a mission in space with a baboon that he can speak with telepathically. They crash land on an uncharted island full of cannibals and they will only let him escape with their lives he he beats them at a game of chess. For whatever reason he has unlimited tries and after several years finally wins a game of chess, so they send him and his baboon on a raft and they eventually get found.
Obviously these things very fortunately didn’t make it into the movie, but it’s super weird to me that someone read all of that and was inspired to make it into a movie anyway. Somehow it was actually a very good movie too.
I’m not saying you’re wrong but I think it is interesting that your interpretation of the meme is that it is a joke against the people being targeted by ICE while I immediately thought the meme was about how brain dead ICE officers are that they would target a dog simply because it had a sombrero on. I have no idea what the OP’s intention was when making the meme. Maybe I just made my assumption based on the fact that this was shared on Lemmy which is overwhelmingly against ICE. If I saw this shared by a conservative person I would more than likely share you sentiment though.
I pirated the RDR remaster and felt very entitled to because I bought it way back on xbox360 with the Undead Nightmare mode, but that whole DLC is broken even though they still sold it to me on the Xbox store. So I pirated to new remaster and when I went to play Undead Nightmare, it’s still broken lol
I was pretty young but I remember being so awed by the “big” graphical updates between 2005-2007 lol
I have no idea what you are talking about anymore. It seems to me that your idea of what the “grind” is, is you’re own interpretation that doesn’t match what anyone else here is talking about. You have taken the entire post and each other comment completely out of context.
The other user is definitely of the mindset that just because they got lucky enough to get a job that they enjoy and make good money from, that everyone shares that privlage and the same opportunities they’ve been given in life. Unfortunately some people just can’t understand that not everyone is born to the same level of fortune.
This comment is confusing to me because here it seems that you redefine the “grind” to mean being creative and productive with your work when the OP is rather clearly expressing that people do it as a means to increase their wealth specifically. A quick Google search suggested that although Tesla did make a lot of money off of his work, he didn’t use that money to live a lavish lifestyle but instead used it to fund more projects that he was interested it and by he time he died he was pretty much broke. He wasn’t a capitalist and wasn’t fueled by the idea of making a large fortune. Going back to OP’s context of the work “grind”, I think it’s accurate to say Tesla did not “grind for electricity”.
I don’t think there is a way to view an entire instance from another one. I may be wrong but I haven’t been able to figure it out in 2 years.
I think it’s just an assumption based on the fact that he seems mostly unphased by the tear gas.
I also work in an OR and Spotify does the same thing. We will just leave on something like 80s rock radio playing over night and when we come back the next morning we hear Snoop Dogg blasting from the same playlist lol
Where did you hear that from?
I wouldn’t say Trump knowing first is because he had him killed. I’m sure the president has the resources to get the news as quickly as possible. The interesting thing about Trump announcing it first is that it is considered bad taste to announce someone’s death in social media. Kirk may have had family that found out of his death from Trump’s post to the world.
That’s Charlie Kirk’s entire thing. Look him up on YouTube, before today’s news it would be hard not to find a video of him debating college students.
I can’t think of one thing he’s done that looks good given his current job title.
For your music!
As far as a moral compass goes, I wouldn’t give any money to SoundCloud. Much like YouTube, anyone can create an account and upload music. Obviously if you upload popular copyrighted music, it will likely get taken down quickly. But the less popular it is, the more likely it’ll go under the radar if someone uploads music that isn’t theirs. If you don’t pay for premium, then that music will have ads playing between tracks. The creator of the music won’t see any money from it, I doubt the uploader would either. As it currently stands, SoundCloud profits from stolen music. Personally I feel better pirating music than I would paying for a SoundCloud premium. I honestly don’t understand how GrooveShark got shut down back in the day, yet SoundCloud got to keep running. They are damn near the same exact service.
She maybe looked offended or confused for about two seconds before she realized I just had no idea what I was doing lol. She told her mom and two sisters who all got a good laugh over it too. She was also rather busty but otherwise short and and kind of petite. I got her a T-shirt as a gift early in our relationship. I’m about 5" 11 and she was about 5" 3. I wear large or medium shirts. So I figured she must wear small to medium. I think I picked a small for her. As soon as she saw it she just started laughing and asked how she was supposed to get her boobs in there. I was hopeless in my teens haha.
You mean writing on paper? Like cave people?
