I also like Never Gonna Give You Up, even though that's generally not my style of music at all.

Nice an actual controversial take. Im glad more people are getting into coding because of AI honestly. Anyone can code (not just a saying).

Me im impressed sometimes, but its only good for scripting languages. Start getting into compiled or anything beyond templates and it falls on its face.

I like listening to some of the shittiest songs ever made mixed in with some of the best songs ever made, on shuffle. About 6400 songs now, extremely different genres. Digbar was my 3rd biggest artist last year lol

Rings of Power

While it is not perfect, a lot of criticism of the show is insane or plain dishonest. It became a playing ground for shit stirring and easy rage bait.

Death Stranding

The worst game I ever loved. Yes, the story and dialogue gets weird towards the end. Yes, Kojima keeps over explaining everything almost pathologically. Yes, I only played the Directors Cut, which I have been told reworked most of the game into a better state. And yes, I got PTSD from getting called after every single mission. But if you keep driving vehicles into terrain that obviously isn’t suited to be driven on, or otherwise try to bend the gameplay to your liking instead of accepting how it is supposed to be played, maybe you should play something else.

[–] KanadrAllegria@lemmy.ca 1 points 19 hours ago

I agree, Rings of Power is great! As someone who has read and watched LotR, but not the Silmarillion, I found it a nice step into the lore. I found a lot of it matches up decently with the appendices of LotR, even if the timeline isn't accurate.

Idk why but I randomly thought of that show recently, when I was a kid I took a bit of guilty pleasure in watching it when it was on TV ☺️

Owning a pickup truck is pretty awesome, and I don’t think I’ll ever buy a different type of vehicle again.

Mentioning it online gets hate, but in real life people keep coming up to me, complimenting how nice it looks, asking questions about it, and kids give me thumbs up when I drive by. All of that is just a bonus on top of the fact that I love driving it and the way it looks - and that’s all that really matters.

[–] SGGeorwell@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The rise in pickups causes everyone’s insurance rates to go up because of the increased fatality of average crash now, they blow through our global carbon budget even faster, they make roads less safe for everyone, they drain your wealth away from your kids inheritance and directly into banks and oil companies. I know you love bankers more than transmitting generational wealth to your kids. Fuck them kids. The bankers need your money more.

How often do you haul stuff you need a truck for?

I agree with 95% of FuckCars. Cars should not be the default in our society. Cars are at the root of why our cities suck so bad. We need to do as much as we can towards walkability, bikability, and public transportation. Cars won't go away completely, but they don't have to be so prevalent.

The 5% where FuckCars goes wrong is people who don't know anything about cars talking about cars. Their treatment of trucks vs vans is one of those. Vans are useful for trades, and so are trucks. Let the workers decide which one they prefer for their job.

Those workers usually don't need an F150 the size of a small house. They don't even want an F150 the size of a small house. That doesn't mean a van is necessarily what they want.

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well, I've atleast got the two seater with a long bed so it's barely adequate for what I need it for at work. It's undeniable that a similar size Vivaro or Transporter would be more practical but I'm willing to trade some of that for a fun truck.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

I like these answers that are actually divisive

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Speaking as a Texan, I associate the worst of truck driving with “being an ass.” It’s not always true, but man, if someone’s gonna cut me off just to be a jerk, it’s usually a lifted abomination.

This though:

1993 Ford Ranger

This is fine.

No, it’s magnificent.

That small red truck is a truck of a man who truly is masculine. Doesn't give a shit what other people think, needs it to carry supplies, and didn't want to waste any money.

Giant lifted trucks are the opposite of masculine. They're for showing off, desperately trying to get people to notice them, they arely if ever haul anything (if they even can anymore with the lift), and they wasted huge amounts of money.
