What exactly is a swing? Cause I just imagine spinning in circles letting it go and destroying my TV. I assume back and forth? Or in front of me? Over my head? 90 degrees?

You did not get the 30 Rock quote I see.
BlackPenguins@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What technology will disappear in the next 10 years?5·7 days agoIf it’s something serious, yes. Like fixing something. I also use it as an idea generator. I needed to figure out why my toilet wasn’t flushing. It suggested the flapper. So then I went to YouTube and looked up a video on how to install it once it pointed me in a direction.

BlackPenguins@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What technology will disappear in the next 10 years?1·7 days agoYeah I do realize the inevitable problem when their sources dry up because no one is communicating anymore but for the quick questions about how something works in the world it’s extremely convenient. I’d just be asking Google anyway.

Are you a cartoon character?
Sometimes the opposite. My work password at this point is muscle memory. So if I type slowly and think about it I mess up. One morning after a bad night of sleep I actually couldn’t even recite my password of 10 years.
BlackPenguins@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•This world is turning out less like the movie Idiocracy and more like the series Continuum.6·6 months agoNah people like to rewrite history in a better image to feel better. The down votes already prove that. Violence should not be the first option but when exhausted of all other options and people are still literally dying it shouldn’t be overlooked. CEOs will just laugh from their ivory towers at “all the peasants whining” and then go right back to killing more people.
BlackPenguins@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•This world is turning out less like the movie Idiocracy and more like the series Continuum.5·6 months agoYeah, and I hate to say it but in some cases you need violence to make any change. You can protest the companies all you want 24/7 but they’ll just ignore you and keep doing what they want. They’ll out lobby you to prevent any political change. The BLM protests resorted to this because “no one was listening to us and we keep dying”. It’s not the best solution but what else is there.
Sonya definitely had the biggest moral compass of the group being a doctor. Travis was built to be emotionless.
BlackPenguins@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•This world is turning out less like the movie Idiocracy and more like the series Continuum.3·6 months agoBy episode 6 I was on their side lol. When they steered away from violence and won over the public I was like ok I can get on board with this.
BlackPenguins@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•This world is turning out less like the movie Idiocracy and more like the series Continuum.8·6 months agoActually I’m using my dad’s account. But yeah I still pay for Netflix and Hulu. Anything that isn’t available anywhere though I’ll go to the seas. I’ve been moving myself in a self hosted direction but it’s hard to break off from everything. It’s all so deeply entrenched in our lives.

BlackPenguins@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•This world is turning out less like the movie Idiocracy and more like the series Continuum.341·6 months agoI just finished rewatching this yesterday. It’s on Prime by the way. And as the show continued I was like “Wait, am I siding with Liber8”? The terrorist group in the show. Seriously there are so many parallels to real life. This was made in 2012. A bit ahead of its time.
The people with the money making our laws. Our presidential cabinet is about to be made up of billions of dollars. Other corporations (Piron) buying the government so they can have political power. Lobbying.
The first episode when we saw the first grassroots support of Liber8 trying to take down a corporation using violence I thought of Luigi and his overwhelming support by the public. And the followers of Theseus that kept saying ideas are more powerful than violence.
The Theseus followers have a peaceful protest on a college campus, and they are arrested because their ideas align with Liber8 and therefore are “supporting terrorists”. But really they are just supporting the cause, not the few violent people. Which is exactly like supporting the Palestinians. The police consider every Palestinian a terrorist even though it’s only a few who did the atrocities.
In 2077 everyone is being tracked by their gadgets and your worth is dependent on your actual net worth. Everything is privatized. Firefighters actually chose to save a couple of board execs in a building over two kids because they “contribute more”. History is banned. Anything that reports on history like VHS, DVD, books is considered contraband. We already are trying to censor slavery in Florida schools. Misinformation runs wild and the public just believe what the corporations tell them. Anyone against them is evil or a terrorist. See: FOX news today.
The time travel gets a little wonky at times but damn was it a fascinating show of the gray area. I kept flipping back and forth on who was right. And shit, the twist in season 3 I didn’t see coming and basically upended the entire series. The future cop having her tech gadgets in 2012 working with the very same person who caused the future as an 18 year old kid is a fun concept. Making him an enemy of his future self. Definitely worth a quick watch. 4 short seasons.
And he didn’t do this a year ago why? Oh right, exchanging lives for the reelection campaign.
Make the fascist look bad? Noooo, never.
Big Breakfast. We need to take down Big Lunch and Big Dinner too. No more meals!
No joke I might actually go out and buy one today if it’s this easy to do in my apartment.
