One day that article I memorised about how to survive in quicksand is going to save my life.

If I was able to remember them on cue I would probably be a lot more interesting of a person.

The topic has to seed first and then all of the information I know about it rushes in.

paddirn, in What really popular movie or TV show have you never seen?

Latest one is Dune. I’ve read the book (rereading it now actually) and seen all the other versions, but for some reason I’m holding off on this movie, I guess until at least the next one comes out.

Platypuses hunt underwater using bioelectric sensors in their bills. Also, you cannot beat the final boss in X-Men for Sega Gamegear unless you are using Iceman.

Reverendender, in What really popular movie or TV show have you never seen?

The Lion King. Beauty and the Beast. Frozen.

De_Narm, in What really popular movie or TV show have you never seen?

Pretty much everything. I didn’t watch many things when I was single, I prefer more active things like games or social activities.

Since I got my girlfriend, I’ve been keeping up with a lot of anime series/movies since she’s a weeb. But we haven’t seen anything except Barbie with actual people.

However, there are so many memes about the good stuff, I feel like I’ve seen enough about all of them anyway.

dan1101, in What really popular movie or TV show have you never seen?

Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Goonies, Gremlins, the new Avatar, most Star Trek movies, any movie like La La Land, Finding Nemo, Frozen, a lot more.

RubberElectrons, (edited ) in How was Rudy Guiliani as mayor of NYC?
@RubberElectrons@lemmy.world avatar

If you look at NYC’s mayoral timeline, you’ll see David Dinkins ahead of him for just one term, 90-94.

In my opinion, he was the real solver of our crime issues, as besides the overall economy starting to escape the republican shitstorm of Reaganomics, we started the PAL program (Police Athletic League) and used some anti-crime money to keep schools open later.

This is a key point here, most crime was being committed by bored young men of school age, so instead of letting them out at 3 till their parent(s) got off work, PAL and other after-school programs let them hang out with friends, shoot basketball or take fun classes, etc. People had the ability to stay out of trouble a lot more easily, and for free.

First year of Dinkins, homicide peaks. Then it starts trending sharply down, statistics backed by the first ever computerized crime ledger, compstat. That first year made everyone think Dinkins was ineffective, so Giuliani got his shot. But all Giuliani did was coast on Dinkins work, besides posting cops in visible places like MTA turnstiles.

I really want to write a long screed about how shitty of a mayor who couldn’t win a single lawsuit Giuliani was, but I think airing out how much better his precessor was would hurt his image even more.

But I’ll say this: that whole nightclub scene NYC used to be famous for? Killed by Giuliani. There were nightclubs where you were in shoulder-high bubbles, dancing or more if you wanted. Famous places too, that one spot in the east village that was a bankrupt church, converted into a goth nightclub… just memories because of a sensitive bitch fuckhead named Giuliani.

Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Office, Parks and Rec

I don’t have anything against them, I’m sure they’re all fine, I’ve just never had to interest in watching them.
