Pushing Daisies.

lemmy_at_em,

The narration in this show is so good!

tacomama, (edited ) in Lighthearted, upbeat shows for adults?

How to with John Wilson, 30 Rock, Malcolm in the Middle, The Office, Nathan for You, Parks and Rec, Joe Pera Talks to You, Ted Lasso, Baskets (LOVE it, but can be a little sad and heartbreaking in addition to being hilarious and sweet)

themajesticdodo,

Nathan for You is amazing. But it does not belong on this list.

Joe Pera and MITM definitely stand out to me on this list. Nathan as well but can be a little dry. Baskets is incredible but it does have it’s downer moments.

joemo, in For software devs, which job to pick

It sounds like you’re leaning towards the contract role.

The first one seems more stable, and may be a better option if you have some debt to pay off or a mortgage.

However, working full remote has some additional perks that you’d have to factor in.

The important thing is getting some experience.

Is the second one just a 6 month contract, or potentially contract to hire or maybe another contract? If you have to job hunt again in 6 months, you need to factor that in to your decision as well.

SirToxicAvenger, in What are your thoughts on people being doxxed for ripping down missing israeli posters?

not sure that getting fired is a suitable punishment for removing posters, but the removal of posters about missing children is a heinous thing, social ostracization is a more fitting reward.

Mr_Blott, in Lighthearted, upbeat shows for adults?

I don’t think there is a more light-hearted show than Detectorists

morphballganon, in Lighthearted, upbeat shows for adults?

Agree about Parks & Rec and Black Books

Adding Boston Legal

andrewrgross, in What are your thoughts on people being doxxed for ripping down missing israeli posters?

Honestly – and I before I say this, Free Palestine – if you want to be a person who tears down a poster looking for a missing person, I think you should be prepared to live your life as a someone who everyone knows tears down posters of missing persons.

I think people have a right to privacy in the ways that don’t affect other people, but when you do things that affect others – whether that’s not cleaning up after your dog or anonymously harassing whoever hung a poster of a loved one by tearing it down – I don’t feel you’re exercising a right that I have some obligation to defend. Live with the reputation of who you are.

Again, I say this as a critic of the genocide in Gaza. Bibi Netanyahu deserves to be dragged into the Hague to face the International Criminal Court. At the same time, I still hope as many of the Israeli hostages are returned safely as possible, and I have no sympathy for people who are inclined to tear down a missing person poster and want anonymity. That’s not liberating Palestine, that’s just anonymously terrorizing whatever grieving person hung the poster when they discover it’s been torn down.

TheBananaKing,

The posters do nothing.

How can some random Australian in the middle of the suburbs ‘bring them home’?

They aren’t put up from a genuine desire to help the victims, they’re propaganda to stir emotions and brew support for the genocide in Palestine.

And, as we can see, bait to identify and attack anyone who has a problem with that.

Wumbologist,

Right, the point of a missing person sign is to get help finding a person. You put them up in places where the victim is likely to be so the people who see the sign can identify them.

These are 100% not that.

dsemy,

Honestly – and I before I say this, Free Palestine – if you want to be a person who tears down a poster looking for a missing person, I think you should be prepared to live your life as a someone who everyone knows tears down posters of missing persons.

I find it interesting that you felt the need to explicitly say you support Palestine, even though your opinion isn’t really controversial IMO.

This is not the first time I noticed this about a comment, it almost feels like people are afraid of being ostracized by “their side” for having a slightly “wrong” opinion about this conflict.

The Guardian has a good article about the tribalism going on right now (theguardian.com/…/us-support-divided-israel-pales…).

Any empathy is seen as a betrayal right now. It’s imo also one of the reasons things are so terrible to begin with.

dsemy, in What are your thoughts on people being doxxed for ripping down missing israeli posters?

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

0x4E4F,

I think this sums it up nicely.

anarchost,

The posters are propaganda. Nobody is going to find a missing Israeli child in the United States, which is where the posters were.

Removing propaganda that is being used as an excuse for genocide is a good thing, not exactly sure how you consider it stupid.

dsemy,

Good thing they were there to remove the posters of the kidnapped kids before those evil Jews could complete their genocide.

Seriously, the actions those people took literally had no effect apart from showing EXTREME disrespect to the families of those kids.

ghostdoggtv,

Tearing down posters sounds like a relatively civil response to putting up posters, unless you’d prefer things to keep escalating, which Israel does

anarchost,

Right now, the state of Israel is showing a grave disrespect to the families of the victims. They even planted fake victim families amongst the real ones, who were there exclusively to excuse the actions of the IDF.

And unlike random people that are getting doxxed, the state of Israel is being given billions of dollars to perpetuate a genocide

dsemy,

This is whataboutism.

The actions of the Israeli state do not excuse the actions of private individiuals against Israelis.

anarchost,

Except the Israeli state is actively killing people, and private individuals are not. Your concern is entirely misplaced.

anarchost,

    TL;dr - Did you actually just allege 'crisis actors' played victim's families? That's not just wholly unsupported, it's also wholly offensive to most people, and certainly to those who have connections to any of the victims.

    First, let me state for the record that the entire situation is positively out of control - especially in light of the recent comments from one of Israel's minor ministers. I don't disagree that it appears to be headed towards full-blown genocide. I don't disagree that the folks being killed in Gaza are NOT the ones responsible for the attack, nor connected to the same. We are entirely on the same page there.

    What I take exception to, however, is your absolutely unsupported statement regarding 'planted fake victim families.' First, because if one is going to make an allegation that inflammatory, one should ensure clarity. Who are you alleging is fake? The victims? Their families? Both?

    I make light of the word choice and clarity, not just because it matters, but because I find it exceptionally unlikely that you could support any of the statements your words 'could' convey. When some asshole killed numerous children in a school, a certain subset of the population whined about 'crisis actors' for some years afterwards. I've heard similar allegations in reference to victims of Hurricane Katrina, and even in reference to Uvalde.

    All of them are pure garbage, which places your allegation on exceptionally unsteady footing - In the improbable event that you are able to support that allegation, I'll happily hear out whatever evidence you're able to present.

    Until then, there is no need to peddle conspiracy theories, too-vague allegations, etc.

    zxqwas, in Lemmy, recommend me a good budget Android phone please

    I use a a Motorola g30. Was the cheapest one in the shop a few years back. Not too inundated by bloatware.

    mangosloth, in Why don't public restroom stalls have OPEN/OCCUPIED indicators like porta potties do?

    Yeah here in Japan most places have a red and blue indicator that moves with the lock. Bidets and toilet seat sanitizers are also pretty standard in any decently modernized areas. We kinda win when it comes to bathrooms.

    Waker,

    Just got back from Japan. I’m always surprised when I’m in the middle of nowhere and the public restrooms have heated sitting, deodorizer, bidet, background sounds. Like… Wtf? That’s better than my toilet at home. And I’m not even from the US 🙃

    What We Do In The Shadows is my favourite show ever.

    Close Enough is a really great animated tv show by the creator of Regular Show. It’s basically almost the same, but for adults.

    To be fair, it sounds better to have a 1 meter gap than it does to have a 3 foot gap when you have no sense of scale.

    macrocephalic,

    I’m middle aged and I don’t recall a time in my life when vacant/occupied indicators weren’t on all public toilets.

    ArghZombies, in What are your thoughts on people being doxxed for ripping down missing israeli posters?

    After reading the Jon Ronson book “So you’ve been publicly shamed” where he interviewed a load of people that were outed for both bigger and smaller ‘crimes’, no, I don’t agree with it. Doxxing and other public shaming can have consequences you could not expect.

    Plus, what if you get the ID wrong and dox someone innocent? That happens all the time too.

    z0rg0n,

    Anyone else remember when the reddit hive mind mis-identified the Boston bomber?

    AtmaJnana,

    “We did it, Lemmy!”

    cricket98,

    Never before in history have minor disputes been able to be aired to millions of people over the internet. I think it makes the response a bit disproportionate.

    A lot do. Just not all of them.
