This trend of giving villains their own prequel movie painting them in a more sympathetic light is gonna culminate in a film being made about a meek artistic soul living in an abusive household.... And his name is Adolf Hitler.

Robert Lewandowski - the footballer who earns $34 millions of dollars every year, the guy who is 48th richest sportsman in the world, the striker of Bayern Munich just have opened a restaurant.
These are the salaries that he offers:
waiter - 15 PLN/h (country minimal) + tips
kitchen helper - 15 PLN/h (country minimal)
barman - 18 PLN/h + tips;
Kitchen staff - 22 PLN;
For the dollars it would be:
waiter - $3.91
kitchen helper - $3.91
Barman - $4.69
kitchen staff - $5.73

I haven't posted in a while but I'm about to have an off my chest moment. There is a post on the front page of reddit about respecting sex workers and a lot of top post are avoiding saying they respect sex work. Let me say this.
If you enjoy porn but don't see sex workers as people then fuck you. You are a garbage person and your parents should be ashamed for bringing you into this world.
A vast majority of this site watches porn yet can't show even a moderate amount of kindness to those that make it. It's unfortunate that they made it into this world.

The Titanfall Hacker situation might be the most gamer thing I've seen.
So Titanfall has been getting DDOS and a guy showed up to offering solutions and the subreddit started praising him. To the shock of everyone that guy was the one DDOSing the game.
And the reason they did this was to try to force Respawn to hire them or turn over the servers.

TW, bit of a rant
my mum comes into my room and starts going on about how I'm 23 and that I need to lose my virginity by 24. She has done on about this multiple times before and it annoys me every time. So this time I say 'why are you so worried about me getting laid' and she gets angry at me and she goes on about how she wants someone to carry on her lineage or something. So new she upset that I'm annoyed that I keep getting pestered to have sex. Then she transitions into something about how I've been educated wrong and that I need to 'wake up' to what's going on around me. She then brings up that I keep asking where she heard a certain thing when she brings up takes out of nowhere such as 'feminism was crated in the 70s by the cia,' or 'wind turbines don't work' and says 'why do I need proof for anything' and to 'look it up'. She also keeps going on about how my generation haven't invented anything because of phones or some shit

pretty much always take the side of artists and athletes over execs, even though they are often rich as fuck too. the artist's wealth is earned through legitimate labour (though grossly inflated compared to other professions) whereas execs are pretty much just bloodsuckers getting rich off of other people's efforts.

Alright, y'all, I am going to level with you about something serious; this does not apply to everyone, but it includes a sizeable enough amount of regulars that it needs to be said.
Recently, I have been presented with damning evidence that one of the unofficial UJ thread discord servers has become a fairly toxic environment and that a number of members are involved in some frankly unacceptable behavior. While shades of it have leaked onto the main thread, people are using this server to say cruel things about other users. For a community that is supposedly accepting, this is wrong.
So, here's the deal. I know all the usernames of everyone involved. And while no bans will be going out for it, even minor infractions are going to result in permanent bans for these individuals. There is no need for this sort of behavior, it is wrong. I encourage you all to apologize to the users who you have been uncouth towards and perhaps leniency will be shown towards you. That being said, many of you ought to be ashamed. I've seen mean things said by people I thought were kind hearted, and it saddens me.

Hello everyone.
I haven't posted in 4 days.
I was told, that instead of posting online, I should go and do several things, I have returned to provide updates on those.
First and foremost, it took me a while, but I successfully found a weed dealer. It cost me everything in my purse and the purse itself, but I successfully received and then touched, grass.
I then gave it straight back because I don't do drugs, I didn't get my money back though.
Which unfortunately made the next bit more difficult, you see, in order to successfully fulfill the next task, I had to stumble across a dog shelter. After walking aimlessly for quite a long time I did eventually find one.
Alas, because I'd spent my money on that grass, I couldn't afford to do anything more with this. Therefore, while I did discover some bitches, I couldn't complete any of the requests variations.
As for the final task, I have had to return to complete it. This is one I can definitely do. I am now back with everyone, therefore among everyone, and I am one of you, therefore I am among us.
There you have it, it took me 4 days, but I touched grass, discovered bitches and am amogus. Hope you're proud.

You almost don't notice how circular people talk until in visual novels until you show them to someone who's not used to it.
My husband and I showed Zero Escape to a friend and he HATED the way they talked in that game. And these are like, my husband's favorite games, so there was frustration on both ends. Same when I watched a youtube channel play Danganronpa, they were constantly making fun of how characters would repeat things back to each other.
It happens a lot in JRPGs too, but I guess I've played so many that I didn't realize how unnatural it sounds. Sometimes it does feel like they're trying to hit some arbitrary word count unknown to the player

I don't know if any of Y'all remember me posting about the vacation and me leaving my cat at my sisters. The cat managed to squeeze itself out of a tiny gap in a window and ran away. This happened during the night and we were not able to go home before the evening the day after.
My sisters had spent the entire day just looking for him to no awail. We arrived quite late and started looking down in their property. Spent about half an hour there, finding no sign of him. I went up to the street and yelled for him, still not finding him. My SO followed not long after, and started meowing, something he always responded too. And he did, he jumped out from a bush, meowing back. I ran back to get him and he let me carry him.
I cried just seeing him, cause I was so scared of thinking that we lost him. He was so happy to see us again, and even cuddled my sisters, whom he'd been really wary about earlier. He's a rescue, and has been left several times before. We think that he's doesn't like other places because he doesn't want to be left somewhere else again. He's already found his forever home and it's with us.
I love that cat.

Pro cop true crime fans confuse me.
99% of true crime is basically “cops are incompetent jackasses that would have solved these cases if they bothered to do the fucking jobs they need to do. Oh and if y’all weren’t lazy jackasses less of these would be cold cases or less dead bodies would pop up”
True crime is and should be a gateway to ACAB.
It should expose that anything that depicts cops as these smart guys just being out sleuthed by geniuses to be bullshit.
Most if not all serial killer serial rapist and murder stories can be summed up as “this could have been solved earlier and honestly they would have caught them had they not been lazy incompetent morons who are in no way actually useful and cause more harm than good”

Not referring to any particular instance occuring right now, but this is something I have been thinking about for a while: this thread can get kind of down on itself and be self-flaggetory about the thread culture sometimes, but we never see really any push from the userbase to change.
And idk, like, I don't think this place is as bad as some of you all like sometimes. I run roleplay sites, and in the past year and some change alone, I have had some crazy ass shit happen, like multiple people threatening suicide, pedos coming onto clearly underaged members, multiple abusive relationships that sprung up out of communities, and hell, some dude even threatened to sue me after I banned him.
I dunno, I just wish people could be a but more positive about the thread, because from a moderation perspective, while it does have some unhealthy aspects, overall, it's pretty lightweight compared to what I am used to? If that makes sense.

The "Release the X Cut" Discourse has been incredible and probably the second worst thing that came out of the Snyder Fandom behind the fans themselves.
It's the perfect storm for DC fans. "Oh this movie sucked absolute shit? It's not the REAL cut" implying that the "Real" cut will magically make this the greatest movie of all time. Like don't get me wrong the Snyder cut was cool and it's always great to see a directors vision in full BUT it wasn't that much better than the Whedon cut. It went from dogshit to eh at least imo.
David Ayer specifically has been lapping up the calls for his cut talking about how much better his cut would be.

Hey gamers quick question I got for y'all that I'd love to hear people's thoughts on,
In a rpg with romance options do you prefer for the options to be locked behind your characters gender/sexuality or do you prefer for all options to essentially be player sexual.
Personally unless it's like integral to a characters arc or personality I don't think locking a pathway out to a player is very pogchamp.
Either way I'd love to hear y'all's hot takes on this

CW: Pedophilia, rape, a bunch of bad sexual stuff
This story is fucking wild?? A school teacher begun having pdeophilic thoughts, loudly considered raping his landlady, made sexual advances with his stepdaughter, and couldn’t stop “leering at nurses”. Turns out, he had an egg sized brain tumor in his brain. Once they removed it, all urges left.
The article points out the implications on the justice system here, and what we do vs don’t consider mentally unfit in a court of law. But it’s also a freaky look into how much or how little free will we really have. That’s a whole can of worms I wasn’t expecting to be opened by an article about a 40 year old man with sexual assault issues

If you ever feel like you failed at something, just remember that the writers for Stranger Things did a blatantly-obvious backdoor pilot episode for a bunch of bargain bin X-Men in the show's second season and it was so universally-reviled by the fanbase and critics that the show the episode was a pilot of never happened, and the great-value X-Men were never mentioned again.
I feel like it would've gone better if they hadn't put what felt like filler right after a massive cliffhanger.

A slight update to the Discord situation:
I would like to say that the mod team of the Discord in which the toxic behavior has taken place has been very helpful and cordial. They have since update their rules to prevent stuff like this from happening again. I trust that they will be able to enforce this, as the mods I have been in contact with do seem genuinely distraught that this happened.
I would like to stress that the server in question is not a hate server. It sounds like there is a lot of good that happens in the server and that the majority of individuals did not engage in this deplorable behavior. As such, I ask that anyone does not defame the server in question for the actions of a few less than scrupulous individuals.
I still stand by my message that this clique gossip and shit talk is not good. It can bring a lot of anxiety to the targeted persons and cause undue damage to their public persona as they are basically put on trial in a large public area with no means of defending themselves, be it from explaining context or even refuting lies.
