None of it is good except for parts of season 1 of The Mandalorian.

Ewoks in ROTJ were right up against the line, but didn’t cross it because the way they looked also served a narrative purpose in addition to their primary purpose of being a toy.

Special Edition ruined the franchise in 1997, and everything since then has been shit on top of shit.

I dunno, craftsmanship is genuinely cool but I’m pretty sure starting a bonfire by shooting it with dragon’s breath is more badass than knitting will ever be

So if Tata opened a new parts warehouse in Sudan instead of India, because they want to pay workers a dollar a day, would you consider that uplifting, yes or no?

Lemmy instance which has not defederated with any other instance.

Hi everyone. I have found many ghost comments in posts. Like one of the posts has 300+ upvotes and 28 comments but when I opened it, there were no comments. I tried different Lemmy apps and it’s the same in all of them. Which leads me to believe that it has something to do with defederation done by Lemmy.ml. Which instance has...

Cost of doing business. Publishers who can’t afford to literally just forget about the cost of running servers have no need to be in business.

my way of speaking

Yeah that sounds about right, considering this word salad of a comment.

Bicycling requires strength and endurance.

So does cleaning a house, but that’s “women’s work”.

Is it that you’re in control of a heavier and more powerful machine?

That’s it. You didn’t get it at first because made the mistake of associating manliness with things like patience, strength, hard work, endurance both of toil and hardship; all things that do make up ideals of manliness to normal people. But you need to approach it from the perspective of a wastrel, a weak, foolish, and lazy person who demands the respect and deference of being manly without putting in the hard work—something he has avoided all his life. He might praise hard work in abstract, but he has no discipline for it and doesn’t respect those who actually do it, he just considers them beneath him. To such a person, the defining aspect of manliness and machismo is mastery, mastery over others and their wills, and since mastery through work is a waste of time to him, he turns to shortcuts.

From there, it’s not hard to see where the thought process goes. Since strength is to him based on control and mastery, he picks something that gives him more command over the road in a direct and in-your-face way. The man who drives a lifted Ram 2500 can confront you by running you the fuck over. By contrast, in his opinion, cyclists are entitled jackasses in miniscule booty shorts who can only confront you on the road by screaming “CRITICAL MASS! FUCKING CAGER!” and throwing sparkplugs at your windows. The difference in power dynamic is proof enough to our friend of who the “real man” is.

To take the mentality to its conclusion, the easiest way to gain mastery in general is through authority, and the easiest way to get that, even easier than joining a gang, is by becoming a cop.

Bravecels are all the same, maybe they get two extra shitcoins every time they shill for it.

An early story meeting about this episode was attended by Patrick Barry, Gene Roddenberry, and Herbert J. Wright. Wright was wary that the concept of a matriarchal society had been too overdone. “So one of the major issues that we didn’t want to do was an Amazon Women kind of thing where the women are six feet tall with steel D cups,” he recalled. “I said, ‘The hit I want to take on this is apartheid, so that the men are treated as though they are blacks of South Africa. Make it political. Sexual overtones, yes, but political.’ Well, that didn’t last very long. Everything that Gene got involved with had to have sex in it. It’s so perverse that it’s hard to believe. The places it was dragged into is absurd. We were talking about how women would react, and Gene was voicing all the right words again, saying, ‘Oh, yes, we’ve got to make sure that women are represented fairly, because, after all, women are probably the superior sex anyway, and it’s real important we don’t get letters from feminists, because we want to be fair and we don’t want to infer that women have to rule by force if they do rule, because men don’t have to rule by force.’ Very sensible stuff. All of a sudden something kicks in and he changes: ‘However, we also don’t want to infer that it would be a better society if women ruled.’” His voice becoming increasingly louder, Roddenberry continued that this was because women were untrustworthy, “vicious creatures,” which he angrily blurted out in a torrent of hateful verbiage. Concluded Wright, “Then he looks out the window, looks at the outline, and says, ‘Okay, on page eight…’ and continues like that didn’t even happen.” (The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years, p. 83)

Probably because they’re not very popular in the first place: people have to like the shows enough to keep watching them for there to be any content, and most people do not.

Thanks for dragging us all down with you

pimento64,

Good, that episode sucked. All Our Yesterdays is a much more fitting final episode anyway.

O, let not the pains of financial burden which come upon thee enter into my automobile. I am the Extended Warranty, and I am in the foremost part of the loan, and the insurance policy which protecteth me is that which is with all the paid claimants forever.

Was this article written by a LLM? It looks like it wasn’t even edited, as evidenced by several pictures in a row separated only by the word “snip”.

Say “go fuck yourself lul” into the mirror to save yourself some time.

Why not just link to the actual source?

Treasure your badly-scanned papers from 1980, and be thankful you didn’t have to do historical research by sorting through bad scans from the 1980s of printouts of microfilm archives (yes, instead of scanning the microfilm) of photos of the original documents that were photographed in 1961 at a 45° angle by a lazy archivist who used the cheapest film he could get his hands on. And the scans have blotches that make some pages literally unreadable because the microfilms were allowed to sit exposed to moisture for 25 years before being digitized. No I’m not bitter and my collegiate education wasn’t a waste, not one bit of either.
