Lol nothing says confidence like going through someone’s comment history to try to find things to hurt them… Good think I’m not ashamed of either of those things.

And just to clarify the latter: criticizing your own country because of the awful things it is doing ≠ hate. Usually it’s literally the opposite. If I despised my country, I wouldn’t be so distraught as I watch it being sold for parts for next to nothing.

Ohhhh got it, only one false flag attack was committed by the US. That means the war in Vietnam was justified.

To be clear regarding “false flag” operations for anyone unaware: this entails attacking our own military in order to provide spurious cassus belli to enter a conflict we had no valid reason to enter. In this case, a civil war on the other side of the planet, in a bay we should never have been in to begin with.

How stupid does a person need to be to think that, not only was the war in Vietnam justified, but that the Gulf of Tonkin false flag incident is that justification?

Do it

LO-fuckin-L at using Gulf of Tonkin, a well known false flag operation meant solely to draw the US into a protracted conflict we had no business being in. 🤡

Here? On Lemmy? Where did you get banned for saying that?

I guess I’ve just been spoiled on Criterion Collection as that’s the only Blu-ray media I buy these days, because there’s nothing before the menu besides maybe a splash screen with the Criterion logo.

If you keep an eye on prices on Amazon, these versions are not as pricey as they used to be.

Yep. I’ve recently been collecting Criterion Collection blu-rays (and 4k BR in the case of Citizen Kane. Which was incredible btw. First time seeing it too) for some of my favorite films plus classics I haven’t seen yet. If you keep an eye out for sales you can get some really great stuff for under $20. Sometimes under $15.

The picture quality is second to none, the bonus features are always amazing and actually worth checking out, and I own them outright forever.

Edit: oh, you meant like actual old school regular DVDs… Fuck that

Not really the same ballpark. VHS was wildly successful for over a quarter century… Maybe younger people don’t realize how ubiquitous they were.

Laserdiscs were always super rare (at least in my working/middle class area)

It was also, literally, built by the mob

I don’t think anyone anywhere is claiming 8GB RAM is enough for software and AI development. Pretty sure we’re talking about consumer-grade hardware here. And low-end at that.

I agree completely… that said, not to be that guy, but didn’t Obama drone strike one or two American citizens while in power?

It’s like Trump running for president because Obama and Seth Meyers roasted him in front of the world… So much awful shit in our world is a direct result of rich, whiney narcissists making things worse for everyone as collateral damage in whatever petty feud they’ve mostly invented in their heads.
