Every time I go to make a new username I just choose the first 2 words that come to mind

yes it is soo ignominious to use common turns of phrase to convey meaning, they must be so embarassed

bro literally cambridge dictionary has added cringe as an adjective, language changes over time get over it.

cringe

adjective

informaluk/krɪndʒ/ us/krɪndʒ/

very embarrassing, because of being so bad or silly: Everything he posts on social media seems so cringe.

When you’re watching the show you constantly think “this is cringe”, but it’s completely addictive!

ooh i can actually speak to this! yes i know lots of nothing, but that nothing builds like a snowball, and then one day you wake up and are in your mid 30s and all those things you know are now expertises and people start to rely on you for that.

trust the process, you will keep learning more as time goes on and you will be able to put that to use. just not in your 20s. your 20s is where your dreams go to die temporarily

i agree with you, but the company has now invited scrutiny openly by allowing a) andy to make this tweet (personal accout or no) and b) andy to make a follow up statement using the proton reddit account. people have a distaste now, so expect to see everything you say and do to be overanalyised.

this is the most “i think my userbase are idiots” statement anybody could make. like do you think we dont know how time works andy? fuck you

this is the most succint way of verbalising my problems with the situation. i know ceo’s largely sway R, i’m not surprised by andy’s politic pov. but this tweet was openly eating trumps ass which gives me the ick. like bro you are a ceo i know youre a lying pos but now you’re a liar and want to rim the nazis, your business is founded on trust how the fuck can i trust you?

This may sound drastic but really I think the only move for Proton is fire Andy. They’re a non-profit, the board need to step in. He has single-handedly cost the company both current and potential customers by just not being smart enough to keep his mouth shut. This makes him an idiot, and an idiot as CEO is not a good look (see: anything musk)

To say “I made an apolitical statement last year” when we can verify that the statement was both political and within 30 days is bizarre. He thinks we’re idiots, to boot.

your edit sounds like the fediverse model

Disney purchased a brand name and that’s it. Star Wars is now whatever they want it to be, as depressing as it is. But let’s not pretend they ever intended to treat it with respect. No, they wanted to slap the Star Wars logo on some shitty merch and only make the films because they have to keep the brand name relevant.

i know the metaphor isnt 1:1 but i’m not upset when there’s a second season of a tv show I liked, and I don’t consider it lazy to use the same characters to tell a new story.

also it’s kind of a no-brainer for general audiences. why take a risk paying for a ticket to something I might not like, when I can see something I know I do like, only new?

these films have much bigger budget allocations than most (if not all) of a studio’s original slate, so a built-in audience ensures at least some ROI.

that doesn’t mean i’m happy about it, gambling on new stories should be more profitable than gambling with a $250m budget. but the latter has been a proven strategy, at least at the moment.

instead of a 4-decade-long dead-horse-beating the people complaining need to take a deep breath and go and support indie and original cinema themselves.

Oh so Netflix is a debrid. Good to know

okay I don’t know how to articulate this properly but i’ll try;

fukn get rekt ngt

yeah imagine trying to snopes us without even reading the snopes

do you really think the only use for a screen is television? boy, let me introduce you to the world of personal computing, it’s all the rage

If you wanna

Language is liquid, baby. you can stop evolution

seems like we’re all out of bread and circuses

Do the web apps not still work? I’ve booked Uber eats from a computer in the past, I’m imaging the phone browser version might still function. I don’t have lyft in my country to know tho.
