swordgeek, in So, who or what ruined Christmas this year?

Mom went into the hospital days two days we were supposed to come up. Spent much of the holidays around the smell of hospitals.

JJROKCZ, in What is your favorite time travel movie or show?

12 monkeys is absolutely the best time travel show

noroute,

Yeah movie was good but show not so much.

AWittyUsername,

Why not?

noroute, (edited )

Just didn’t have the same feel to the movie. Maybe if you never seen the movie it might be better. I find most remakes fail without at least some original cast.

Delta_V, in Corporate Censorship Bring You Here?

Just the opposite.

I left reddit because they don’t censor nazis hard enough and will actually ban people for reporting hate speech, calling it an “abuse of the reporting system”.

lseif, in What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing?

startpage is alright if u want a quick alternative.

but definitely look into searx. it can be annoying to choose an instance (unless you self host!), but it can be a lot more customizable and decentralized

The ultimate mindfuck time paradox movie is for me “Predestination”

Bruncvik,

The movie is based on the short story All You Zombies by Robert A. Heinlein, and it does a great job preserving the spirit and internal logic of the narrative. When you take that into account, you’ll realize how impressive the filmmaking is here. It’s hands down my favourite time travel movie.

Kolanaki, in What is the origin of the phrase "to have faith in humanity"?
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

The human project. The collective species. Where we are going as a whole. And having faith that it will take steps toward a better future instead of what is currently going on.

RBWells, in how similar are other North American countries to USA??

I think yes we are all more similar than different but as you move north, there is less income inequality and better social services, less graft and corruption.

Supermarkets in the US are like nowhere else, they are incredible.

Supermarkets in the US are like nowhere else

Umm, we have the same stores here in Mexico. Lol Like, they’re stocked to the brim and huge.

But I will say that I like shopping malls better in Mexico. They feel more authentic, more stylish in a way, and unique to one another. Midwest shopping malls seemed so bland to me for some reason and they all followed the same layout and used similar construction materials.

Also, I’m not sure about “better social services”. They’re not exactly bad and they are comprehensive. We get plenty of good social services down here. For example, our Senate just passed a bill to create free universal healthcare for pets today that we already had for free or at low cost in other ways. We’re no strangers to varying degrees of socialism.

garibaldi_biscuit, in What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing?

What about metasearch engines/ search aggregators?

Hazmatastic, in What is the origin of the phrase "to have faith in humanity"?

Answer: Faith in humanity is used to express hope (or lack thereof) in our ability as a species to be good or thrive. If you see something that makes you “lose hope for humanity,” it is usually a cruel or malicious act that makes one question whether we as a species will survive, or at least have a good impact while we’re here. Things that give hope for humanity are usually altruistic acts that make people think “we just might be alright.” If you think humanity is a dumpster fire of shitty people and we are inevitably going to bomb ourselves to extinction, you’ve lost faith in humanity. If you think people are good in their core and, as bad as the bad apples are, we are generally good to each other, if you think that we can build something greater than we are now and are going to be alright, you have faith in humanity. These statements are generally made in hyperbole to express how one is feeling in the moment, and usually isn’t a description of a more permanent state of thinking. At least not colloquially.

As far as origin, no clue.

Vanth, in Is there any way to flag OC lemmy/fediverse posts? Maybe an optional checkbox "OC lemmy/fediverse content" or something that marks the post with an OC badge or something similar?
@Vanth@reddthat.com avatar

I’m here for conversation and seeing perspectives new to me. Cheers to the folks who create art or coding projects or whatever, I’ll enjoy the OC that interests me and be happy for the Creator’s talents, but that’s not the primary reason I’m on Lemmy.

Gimpydude, in What's your automatic vacuum's name?

Botty McBotface. I know, not the most original.

Witchfire, in What word do you always forget?
@Witchfire@lemmy.world avatar

I forgot

TootSweet, in What word do you always forget?

“Idiomatic” and “Wirth’s Law”/“May’s Law” come to mind.

Of course now I have no problem bringing them to mind.

gregorum, (edited ) in What is your favorite time travel movie or show?

Doctor Who, c’mon, people!

TurnItOff_OnAgain,

Waaaay to far down the list.

It’s new who day tomorrow too! We get to see the toymaker and the next regeneration!

gregorum, (edited )

About to watch it now!

Edit: it was amazing!
