Life in this system is like a everlasting grind session in a MMORPG without actually leveling up.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Except you do level up if you continue to practice and learn new skills.
Having the time and resources to pursue new skills is a privilege that a whole shitload of people do not have.
~~Bullshit. Whatever you are doing, you are getting better at it. Even if those skills only apply at work, or begging on the street.~~
Edit: fine. New skills.
I still think a person can learn new skills anywhere, but I will pull back on volume.
We were talking about new skills.
Maybe on a personal level, but on an economic or social level not so much.
Yup. It is really odd when one notices they have leveled up in a skill. Some task is suddenly far easier than one remembers it being.
these fucking PKrs and pay-to-play assholes are making it really hard to want to keep playing this stupid fucking game.
someone should report this shit to the mods, not like they'd do anything though.
On the bright side, tomorrow is Wednesday, my dudes 😎

This and then "congratulations sailor" on Friday. the duality of man
Have you seen the movie? Kind of intense.
Drive?
The Place Beyond the Pines
Yeah it’s like two movies in one and has some pretty good acting, I wonder if there is a directors cut out there
Why would there need to be? It doesn't sound like there was any studio interference or that the film makers were unhappy with the final cut.
I didn't know about this:
Sean Bobbitt served as cinematographer, who preferred using handheld cameras and natural lighting. Cianfrance saw Bobbitt's experience as a war photographer as an advantage, and was impressed with his process and sense of composition, which proved useful for a scene in the beginning which featured a tracking shot towards the globe of death. Bobbitt initially stood inside the globe to capture footage of the motorcyclists, but a bike hit his head and he suffered a concussion. As a result, the director did not allow him inside again.
Thanks!!
Ah yes. The relentless march of time grinds on. It'll be Christmas again soon.
Yep
