And it’s never been better with Stremio plus a Debrid service. App has a much more user friendly interface than that Prime trash.

I’m only doing the brain chip thing if it can fully transplant me to a Matrix level of simulated reality and get me out of this current hellhole permanently.

“We?” Hell no. Some of y’all maybe.

If they’re Republican it won’t matter.

It’s a slight buzz. People are substantially more dangerous when they are sleep deprived but no laws or severe punishments for that because the system needs its slaves to get to work whether they’ve rested well or not.

Yeah, agreed. Everybody likes to say “there’s no excuse when you can Uber!” but in a real world situation that requires an expensive ride home and then an expensive ride back to your car the next day while worrying if it’s okay in the parking lot. Not actually very practical when you’re just having a reasonable amount of drinks and not getting shit-faced. So I hang around where I’m at after my last beer until I know I’m safe and just hope I’m not slightly over that silly .08.

It’s a personal decision. Some of us enjoy the flavor and the social enhancements after having a few. I agree fuck people who drive really drunk but I don’t consider a few beers to be that. In fact, I know that a few beers doesn’t make me drunk or mess up my motor skills any. I’m significantly more dangerous when I am sleep deprived but that isn’t illegal. Heh.

Lines are fine. The punishments are too severe at this line though.

People go to bars and friends’ houses and such and drink. It’s a part of life in western society. There is a massive difference in being slightly buzzed and being sloshed and I think the punishments should scale. Just as I’m not trying to change minds, mine won’t change either. This is my unpopular opinion as the thread requested.

Punishments are pretty severe… Night in jail, thousands in fines, possibility of losing your license… Justified when the person is actually inebriated but I don’t believe that is the case at .08… that’s a little buzz.

Not trying to change minds here though. I know it’s an unpopular opinion.

DUI laws are too strict. It shouldn’t be all or nothing at .08 BAC but more severe punishments for more severe inebriation. .08 is pretty low and people who drink regularly can function fine at that level.

People hate this one but… hey, it’s my most unpopular opinion.

Like everything else since the advent of harnessing fire, it’s a double edged sword that can be used for good and evil.

Turn based please.

That was indeed awful, but I put up with it (and the app even improved a bit over the last year or whatever). The thing that made me finally leave was posts being shadow deleted for simply saying a man’s name and then being threatened with bans for upvoting the “wrong” content. Absolutely not.

Pretty nerdy. I was asking it how to get a good ending in a video game and when the answer annoyed me I told it “That all sounds like too much work. I think I’ll just play the game however I want to and then watch the best ending on YouTube.” That’s when it dropped the “LOL, based. Totally valid!”

It responded to me earlier with “LOL, based.” I love it.

Ah, the dream of having control over others alive even in a space as pathetic as a video game chat room. You definitely aren’t doing it wrong your way.

Seriously, it’s trash. I heard they’re replacing the Google Assistant with it but it can’t even handle “play music” and “navigate home” when I’m driving.

I have no issues opening up GPT or DeepSeek if I need to ask AI a question about the weird thing on my peepee sack. It’s just a skin tag.

Yeah, remind yourself that anybody who would do this isn’t a person worth having in your life. They don’t care about you.

Seriously. Regardless of platform, when you have to do something advanced you just Google it and follow the instructions or ask AI.
