I worked at a restaurant part-time for some extra "fun" money before COVID. Once we went to take-out only during the pandemic, everything turned toxic and I was not happy with how the management were handling everything. They told us "be happy because you're basically making $20 an hour with how well everyone is tipping" but the morale was absolutely abysmal.

I was letting these teenagers know that they were getting poor treatment and management came to me and basically said "they look up to you, you can't tell them those things. They are all going to be mad", so I quit. They were mad at me for telling these teenagers that they don't have to devote their life to this restaurant that began making record profits during one of the worst and uncertain times for many of these kids families.

Basically what I'm getting at is, if they do ask the workers, they don't want to hear how they actually feel.

What a great trailer! I was only 14 when this game dropped, but this trailer convinced me that I needed to play it.

Writing is definitely difficult! I couldn't do it. The voices were fine, I was just saying that it was pretty noticeable.

As for the legacy with new seasons/episodes and how I would write it.. well I don't think I would. It had a good run and I loved it. In my opinion, Futurama is just like King of the Hill, I'm not really sure it needs to come back because it already hit perfection many times.

I think because the streaming services count the movies as their own season. I just went by what Hulu said the episode was!

Ha, I submitted this too soon! The ending has some meta commentary.

Major's Mask made me hopeful that I would like TOTK. But it's too similar to BOTW in all the wrong ways. Just wasn't a fan of Botw for the most part. 😔

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I'm maybe a quarter or a third of the way through it and I quite like it! It's been a slow-go mostly just because I'm not good at dedicating time to read. I recently got the audio book to make more progress while driving.

Loved the series as a whole! Books 7-9 might be my favorite of the 9!

Persepolis Rising (book 7 of The Expanse) the introduction of the Laconia magnetar-class ships were always really cool in my imagination, haha. They just seemed so powerful and impossible to take on.

Everyone be patient. Kbin especially is in a very early phase. Imagine joining Reddit in it's first few months.

I have no strong feelings one way or the other.

I think it all comes down to why does Meta do anything? Money. And, the timing of their supposed interest in the Fediverse is after the second notable exodus from a major social network. Meta sees more people & more engagement here which equates to more potential profits on their end.

I looked into Mastodon after the whole Twitter thing in November, but I didn't really use Twitter, so an alternative at the time didn't make sense for me. However, I was an avid Reddit user for the last nine years, so when these API changes came to light and my app (Sync) was going to cease to exist, well I took the Fediverse alternatives more seriously and realized that ActivityPub is awesome technology that is now invaluable to the internet.

I'm here to stay.

I honestly am a huge Nolan fan but could not agree more with his audio lately. I was really frustrated in the theater during Dunkirk trying to figure out what the heck Tom Hardy was saying. Tenet, at times, was also pretty bad. I still really liked both movies, but they would have been better experiences if I could have not dedicated so many resources to hear a word in a garbled mess of voice.

I'm on Android and I use Apple Music. It's very good and well worth it. This is coming from someone who still despises Apple, but my partner used Apple Music and we got a family plan.

That's great news. kbin has been a great experience so far and it really has so much potential.

I don't understand this specific complaint.

If you are subscribed to similar communities that exist on different servers/instances, then the likelihood of someone from each community posting the link is pretty high (especially if it is big news). If you are subscribed to 5/5 gaming communities that exist across lemmy, kbin, beehaw, and others, then yes, you are going to see similar content each time. I don't see how this is a problem because it seems to be working as intended.

If you're wanting to be subscribed to each because of the opportunity to engage in the comments with others, then just ignore the repeated content. Coming from Reddit, it was common to see the same post on gaming, pcgaming, & pcmasterrace. There's always going to be overlap.

I hope it also works for kbin!

More eyes = more ad views.

I watch Futurama almost daily. Usually when I'm doing dishes and I tell my Google home to play it, haha. I'm mostly just preparing my mind to be a little let down, but to also have an open mind!
