  • Okay

    You do understand that the US is a spectacular outlier in the world when it comes to guns, right? Most people in the world look at that country and its gun problems and won’t understand what the fuck is happening there because frankly, its dumb.

    I’m not trying to gotcha you or anything, I’m just saying that I’m reading some of these gun comments and I just feel so happy that I live in a normal country. The constant fear for some idiot or psycho with a gun sounds like a horror movie to me.

    And yes, with all possible respect: to me, pro gun people sound like… Lets call it less intelligent. Instead of focusing on solving the problems out there, you only focus on combatting the symptoms. Its like you’re trying to kill cancer by giving it more cancers.

    Has adding millions of guns made the US any safer? I live in Mexico and mind you, I feel safe here. With the drug war still going on I still feel a thousand times safer here than anywhere in the US. On that note, thanks US, for sending all those guns to Mexico, you’ve made it so much “safer” here!

    Fuck everything about guns




  • And this is based on… What exactly? Asking because you’re not the first person on Lemmy to draw such an extreme conclusion based on reading a single phrase you disagree with.

    Conclusions like yours are the reason people Fight so much on social media. Granted, I’m not immune to this, I got to do better, i urge you to do the same.

    Patience, reason ate virtues







  • Their piracy teams will

    Do what, exactly? There is nothing they can do. The movie would have ended up on pirate sites eventually anyways, because they all do. There is no stopping piracy, especially because media providers are such greedy shit stains.

    I would never have gotten back into piracy if it wasn’t for media providers being such assholes. Give me one provider that has it all, forever for the same fee, that allows me to use my own UI, and I’d gladly pay that monthly fee.

    Piracy is a drag, it takes huge amounts of time and money and a lot of times the complete experience is sub-par. Sometimes the sub titles aren’t properly synced, and its always awesome that when at the end of a long day, you want to watch a movie with your wife, but you first need to spend 30 minutes properly syncing the sub titles, if they match at all and dont drift over time… I really prefer to pay a provider to do it all for me, but they can’t seem to do it without without wanting to steal my first born… So piracy it is, but YOU, Netflix, Hulu and all other shit providers, caused this







  • Once went to talk business with some random guy. Met him in a restaurant, with his wife. His wife was the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen in my life (I’m talking radiant beauty with a face and smile that lighten up rooms when she walks in) and I didn’t wanted to be the drooling creep so I mostly ignored her and didn’t look at her, she was just too pretty. The guy was a raging asshole and I ended up not doing business with him, sending him to my best friend instead.

    Fast forward some ten years

    I work for my best friend and the raging asshole for a year before his company collapses. He sends his wife to fire everyone (thats the kind of guy he is) and because it all went badly, I ended up hating her

    Fast forward another 5 years or so

    I’m given an offer I cannot refuse so I go back working for best friend. I ask him if raging asshole will be there, he will be. Sigh. I ask him if horrible wife will be there? She will be there too. Sigh. It is what it is.

    One week in working, turns out she is awesome and funny (and frigging radiantly beautiful) and we become good friends almost immediately. We just never stop talking.

    I learn that she already divorced the husband but still loves with him under threat that he will take children away and or leave her with absolutely nothing to live (he’s a millionaire by this point).

    We then notice we feel more for each other. We talk more and she mentions the asshole is about to fire my best friend and replace him with me because I’m more agreeable with him.

    I call said best friend for thirty years to warn him. He’s on vacation on the other side of the world and he would be jobless when he’d arrive back. I call him, warn him, and how do I known this? Well, in talked to his business partner’s ex wife, she knows, and well, it looks like her and I may become something.

    Not half an hour later I get a “fuck you you’re fired”,because my friend immediately threw thirty years of friendship under the buss to save his job. He never talked to me again after that.

    The girl and I immediately received threats from her ex, including that the psycho was looking for hitmen (a real thing there) so we immediately went into hiding in a single small airbnb room that looked out over a forrest with two (literally) removed dogs and enough food to not have yo leave that room; we didn’t even come outside for a week. Just talking, fucking, sleeping, and repeat.

    We learned so much from each other there, like how she initially thought I was this misogynistic asshole who didn’t take women seriously in meetings (from our first meeting ever) and I explained that I just didn’t dare look at her because she is so radiantly beautiful. Similarly I learn that she was forced to fire everyone by her then husband because he didn’t wanred to deal with having tomfire people…

    We then migrated to a different country a month later, we had more adventures and love and fun in these past 5 years together than I’ve had in an entire lifetime. We are that couple that has been together for over 5 years and still need to hold hands every moment we can. We are together 24/7 almost and we have few friends because we just want each other, nothing else.

    I’m so insanely in love with you, baby…
