Ask Lemmy

The U.S. as a generalized complaint about the country. I understand complaints about the current government, but condemning the country makes about as much sense as condemning all Israelis for the actions of their current government, or all Russians for the actions of theirs, or all Chinese for the actions of the CCP. People are so eager to hate on Americans, and they don’t realize they’re as human as the rest of us, their society as complex as any. Lemmy is rife with anti-American commentary. It’s sad.

Every tv show has the worst ending of any tv series ever

i dont pay attention to it, a little drama is ok, but constantly engaging , i ignore those.

Family bitching about situations they create for themselves.

The weather. Its global warming, it is a real thing

Germany: public transport and healthcare.

You don't know how good you have it, assholes. Stop voting for politicians who want to destroy both.

Trump.

But only because I've lost sympathy with those people who keep saying "We need to get him out in November, blah blah blah"

Holy...fucking...denial, Batman! He's not going away. He's not joking about staying in 2028 and 2032. By all means vote in the midterms but be prepared for that vote to mean precisely jack shit.

Stop bitching and do something about it. Does it risk your livelihood and possibly your life when (not if) it comes to that? Yes. But you know who elses livelihood's and lives were threatened? The founding fathers; they had the courage to do it anyway.

If American's aren't willing to stand up for fear of losing their precious conveniences, than fuck 'em. I'm at the point where they deserve what they get.

There being no original movies. Original movies are released literally every week. I'm using the actual meaning of literally. I get that if you're not looking it up, you won't know about every movie being released. But if you care enough to complain, you should care enough to look it up. When you go to the theatre, instead of seeing the remake or sequel you're bitching about being the only option, take a minute to look at what else is playing.

And when I point out original movies to people, they often say those movies are crap. Well then the problem isn't that remakes and sequels are being made, it's that movies in general aren't to your liking. And yes, most original movies are in some way derivative of other movies. Sorry but all creative work is, in some way, derivative of other creative work, to expect otherwise is just unrealistic. You're literally asking them to create something from nothing.

Also, how are we defining original? I git in a disagreement recently on Lemmy with someone objecting to my use of a movie adapted from a book as an example of an original movie. Different categories apply in different contexts. In the context of people complaining there are no original movies, I always took that to mean as opposed to remakes and sequels. If your standard is it can't even be an adaptation, I find that ridiculously unreasonable.

But I have seen several original films recently that aren't adaptations either. Hoppers, boy is that original. Pixar has never done an adaptation (but they have arguably done ripoffs of other movies). I'm seeing Breadwinner soon, I think that's an original. I'm also pretty sure the upcoming End of Oak Street is original. Recently saw the Drama. I'm not 100% sure these aren't adaptations or remakes. I bet some of the complainers have favourite movies they don't even know are remakes

The Plex/Jellyfin debate on lemmy.

Just stfu already.

What are you honestly tired of people bitching about by this point?

Literally everything.

Half the posts I scroll past are just someone bitching about something. Few people posting about cool stuff, most people posting about rage this or rage that. Or if there is a post about something good, there's people bitching in the comments how it's not good enough.

Ugh. It's like this place wants to be miserable and doesn't know any other way to exist.

"We need a revolution and vigilante justice should be meted out on the billionaire class"

I am so tired of seeing this repeated endlessly everywhere by people with no intent to actually fucking do it. Yes everything is shit but you are not improving or changing anything with these empty platitudes.

Windows. I get it, Windows sucks. I’ve been saying that since Vista. Fucking leave it already. “Oooh, I can’t. I play Frexus Dilectin 2: Rogue of the Latrine, and that has kernel level anticheat.” Well, sucks to suck. Quit bitchin and feel bad about your life decisions in the corner, quietly.

Ai. It's not going away fam :(

US-defaultism when the discussion is clearly and unambiguously about the U.S.

Clearly people aren't complaining enough because everything is still going to shit idk.

The price of petrol/gas. If you're not happy stop buying it.

Get an EV. Use a bike. Use public transport. Use your own two fucking feet. Fossil fuels are dying anyway, quicker you get off it the better.
