Sternto movies@lemm.ee•Jennifer Lawrence was quoted implying that The Hunger Games was the first female-led action movie ... today I want to introduce you to one of my favorite exceptions: The Long Kiss Goodnight.English9·1 day agoOther female led action movies that came out in 2012 include- Brave, Underworld: Awakening, Resident Evil: Retribution, Silent Hill: Revelations… but I feel like I’m belaboring the point that many others have made by now.
Sternto Fuck AI•'But What if we Made a Show Showcasing the Positives of the Torment Nexus'64·1 day agoThey don’t want the socialism part though. They still want to be rich.
I use an app called KnownCalls that sends anything that isn’t in your contact list straight to voicemail. Added bonus: No ads, free app.

Sternto The Independent@metawire.eu•WWE star Roman Reigns reveals he supports Trump ahead of WrestleManiaEnglish3·3 days agoNot shocking considering WWE leadership supports him. Linda “Artificial Intelligence shortens to A1” McMahon is Trumps Secretary of Education.
IMO without Malcolm X and the Black Panthers I don’t think folks would have listened as much to MLK Jr. either.
On top of that…

Sternto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•After 6 years of hype, can Hollow Knight: Silksong really live up to the sky-high expectations?English2·6 days agoI add a lot of random games on my steam wishlist, many aren’t out yet. The oldest one I’ve wishlisted that is unreleased, by a good margin, is Silksong, back on 6/3/20. Next is Showa American Story on 1/8/22, then Clockwork Revolution (by the guys who did Wasteland 3 and Tides of Numenaria, good pedigree!) on 6/22/23. There’s a fair amount more that are closer to current day. Ultimately if these games never come out, I lose nothing. If/when they do then I get a lil e-mail that lets me know, and I can be like “oh yeah I did wishlist that didn’t I?”, then I look at a few reviews to make sure it isn’t absolute trash, and if it isn’t, I buy a cool game I wanted a few years ago and forgot about.
That’s where Silksong lies for me.
I feel real bad for folks who are deeply invested in it though, like brother there are a GRIP of metroidvanias out there. You are absolutely eating good in metroidvanias, don’t let yourself starve while you wait for Silksong, it’s only going to magnify any quibbles you have with it. Play Guns of Fury. Play Animal Well. Play 9 Years of Shadows. Play Pseudoregalia. Don’t let Silksong build itself up in your head.
Jack Dorsey, who owns dozens of patents, conveniently does not opt to lead the charge by cancelling them all.
i’m sure you’ve slayed so much puss with your massive meat rod please tell anonymous internet people more about your triumphs slamming clam.
yeah, but like… the other way.
Sternto Technology•The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauceEnglish27·10 days agoConsidering Vince McMahon didn’t know what a burrito was, I’m not particularly surprised.
Madigan told PWTorch editor Wade Keller: "It’s one of these stories that always repeats itself. I think the idea was they were trying to work an angle with Big Show and - like Andre (the Giant), here’s a guy who is so physically big and physically imposing - what can you do to get over on Big Show? And how are you going to do it?
"I think they were going to poison Big Show and give him a spiked burrito. The whole concept was: ‘We’re going to spike his food, spike the burrito, you cut to a vignette before that showing him eating it, and then he passes out in the ring.’ So, Vince goes, ‘Burrito?! Who the hell knows what a burrito is?’ It was such a far concept. And everyone in the room goes, ‘Well, we know what a burrito is.’ And Vince goes, ‘Well, where the hell have I been?’
“But, the funny thing is, Wade, every day at noon, Vince’s secretary would walk into the office - the writing room - with a burrito. It was a steak-wrap cut in half. And he would put ketchup on it. Every day, he was eating a burrito and not knowing what it was. But, that’s the idea - when you’re in a bubble and in a business where you’re ostracized from society, it’s you and them, that’s it. Everyone else is an outsider, so things like that do make sense in the confines of the wrestling world.”
Sternto Games•Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline versionEnglish801·11 days agoIf you never actually own a Ubisoft game that logically pirating them isn’t theft right? Right?
Sternto News•Outrage builds as video shows Idaho police shooting a knife-wielding autistic teenager101·12 days agoIn a situation where you’re using lethal force (e.g. a gun.) you aren’t doing the minimum or doing disabling shots or sharpshooting the knife out of their hand, you are stopping the threat. This means center mass (torso) shots to minimize the chance that you miss and hit someone behind or near them (Like the two people were near the kid.), and you shoot until they stop being a threat. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug (and whatever other potential drugs folks can be on.) and can let folks shrug off a bullet if it isn’t instantly killing them, hence the training on lethal force is shoot until they stop being a threat.
That said: Given that he hadn’t even cleared the fence they had time to back up. IMO this was a preventable shooting and they likely could have had one officer pepper spray or tase him (Both have about 15 foot range.) while the others kept guns on him.
I was going to say something about Minecraft, but that works too.

Sternto politics •Rand Paul Fears Trump Tariffs Could Mean 1930s-Style Republican Wipeout: ‘We Lost the House and Senate for 60 Years’25·18 days agoMan if only he could like vote to get rid of them or something. too bad he’s literally powerless and can’t do a thing to stop this. /s
SternOPto NBA•Hardwood is basketball's longtime foundation. A German company would love to change that to glassEnglish2·18 days agoOh yeah, history is rife with attempts to change flooring on sports that didn’t pan out, like Carpet Court or Blue Clay in tennis. For basketball, I walked on a Nike Grind court (Well, not 100% if was Nike Grind per se, but they said it was made out of recycled shoes so…) that they have at their Beaverton campus and the cushioning felt fairly noticeable.
Sternto World News•Russia Not on US Tariff List Despite Broad Global Reach | Sweden HeraldEnglish78·18 days agoYou can view this one of two ways, possibly both:
- Krasnov
- Trump apparently was doing these tariffs based on trade deficits (Which is stupid on its own, if your dentist doesn’t buy the widgets you sell, that’s not a tariff.), if Russia wasn’t running one, then there you go.
To rebuke 2 I present the following- https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/europe-middle-east/russia-and-eurasia/russia
U.S. total goods trade with Russia were an estimated $3.5 billion in 2024. U.S. goods exports to Russia in 2024 were $526.1 million, down 12.3 percent ($73.5 million) from 2023. U.S. goods imports from Russia totaled $3.0 billion in 2024, down 34.2 percent ($1.6 billion) from 2023. The U.S. goods trade deficit with Russia was $2.5 billion in 2024, a 37.5 percent decrease ($1.5 billion) over 2023.
Based on that math, with the CNN article I linked for the formula (the country’s trade deficit divided by its exports to the United States times 1/2) we get - (2,500,000,000 / 3,000,000,000) * 1/2 = 0.416666…
So Russia should have a 42% tariff based on their purported 83% tariff on us.
