Rhynoplaz, in What are some good places to advertise your personal blog?

Since it’s a personal blog, I would stick with personal social media. Facebook, Snapchat, X, places where people are following YOU, and would be more interested in hearing more about you.

If it’s going to have a consistent theme, you could post something in related communities if they allow it.

The critic rating is better than the audience rating. I’ve never seen a film with a high critic rating that didn’t have something worthwhile about it. But I’ve seen a lot of audience hits that were garbage.

did you see the last jedi? that had the highest rating of any star wars film on rotten tomatoes and was completely hated by most audiences

SkepticalButOpenMinded,

Big oof, I had no idea that critics liked that. 91% on RT! OK, that might be the first major exception I’ve come across.

sigh its tough out here as a TLJ truther

VaultBoyNewVegas, (edited )

My counterpoint to that is Rise of Skywalker was widely praised by audiences, at least in comparison to Last Jedi and I fucking hated it.

shinigamiookamiryuu, in What are some good places to advertise your personal blog?

This Discord server if you don’t mind doing it on Discord.

It has a section for promotions where everyone will see the advertisement you wish to put there.

phoenixz, in Out of all the cars you've owned, which one holds a special place in your heart as the absolute favourite.

Nissan NX 2000, those were the days. I loved (and still love) the headlights

thechadwick, in What is your unpopular flim opinion

Boondock Saints is trash.

Can’t think of another movie I remember loving as a teen, and liking less as a grownup than this movie. Directing, plot, premise, are just as contrived as a film could be. One out of seven rating (and the one is only because of the rice).

scratchresistor,

Quotable though

I don’t think advertising the entire blog makes sense, but instead posting links to specific posts in the appropriate lemmy/reddit/facebook/mastodon community/group ao people get something out of it and then subscribe for more.

Apytele,

Oooh OP I like this one.

bobo, in Out of all the cars you've owned, which one holds a special place in your heart as the absolute favourite.

I’ve had my 2004 Honda Element for 20 years now. Favorite car ever! I’ll drive it until it disintegrates.

I couldn’t sit through Pulp Fiction. By the milkshake scene I was done with these characters.

storcholus,

Just curious, how old are you? And how old were you when you saw it?

I’m 36 now, I was probably 26 or 28 when I sat down to watch it. Hit the stop button saying “Well I don’t give a damn about this.”

whenigrowup356,

Did you watch/enjoy any of Tarantino’s other films?

He’s often praised for his dialogue but tbf I find some of the conversations not at all realistic. I can see how that could rub some people the wrong way.

Inglourious Basterds was okay. I can’t say I’ve been much of a Tarantino fan.

Daqu,

Hi dialogues are so cringey. He thought very hard to make everyone say the coolest thing possible.

silverdraco, in Out of all the cars you've owned, which one holds a special place in your heart as the absolute favourite.

07 Toyota Tacoma. Sold it with 190k miles on it. It was an amazing truck, but we needed something bigger.

hyperactive, in What is your unpopular flim opinion

Off topic but TIL there’s no sort by controversial option on Lemmy. :(

kn33, in Donald Trump May 'Turn Off the Internet'. How even? A thought experiment.

Probably fucking with BGP somehow but I don’t really know beyond that

radix, in Donald Trump May 'Turn Off the Internet'. How even? A thought experiment.
@radix@lemmy.world avatar

He’d have his man-servant turn off the wifi on his phone. As long as the little symbol is gone, that means the internet no longer exists. Object Permanence isn’t his strong suit.

Hahahaha pretty reasonable

Thorny_Insight, in What do you follow to keep track of new media releases?

I don’t. Same as with news; if it’s important I’m going to hear about it one way or another. Otherwise I’m fine just staying out of the loop.

ALostInquirer,

To clarify a little, I was asking more about things where…Importance isn’t so much a factor. It’s more to do with wanting to know whatever new oddity might be around to check out. Passivity in this situation is allowing others to have more input on what reaches you, which isn’t always reliable if you want to explore different stuff.

I need to figure out a better way to frame this question. 🤔

Lemvi, in What system or method do you use for your monthly budget or personal finance?

There are apps that can automatically track in- and outgoing payments for your account, as well as classify them to give you an overview. I use Finanzguru, though I suspect that’s only available in Germany.

If you’re struggling with money, here’s my approach: If it isn’t absolutely necessary to have, sleep on it at least once before buying it, no matter how cheap it is. Works quite well, its weird how much your perspective can often change within a day.

FlihpFlorp, in What system or method do you use for your monthly budget or personal finance?

I just go into notes app or pen and paper of choice nothing too fancy

Also take this with a grain of salt as while I’m still living with my parents and don’t really pay

In one section I have subscriptions that cannot exceed like $35 a month and that’s more a list that rarely gets updated

Then as for month to month expenses I divide into money to spend on games and toys/treats for my dogs and taking out the gf and gas and an other category and I allocate money towards those categories

I do it so I don’t over spend in one section like blow all my money on my dogs then have no money to spend for my girlfriend or something

Each month when I “refresh” my monthly budget any unspent money (and minus some to put into savings) rolls over to next months budget

It works wonders and I can move money for spending around easy since it’s all visual

korewa,

Basically the premise for YNAB. You’re doing good work and have a good habit and mine set. Once you get more cash flow it will be harder to keep track. I use YNAB it may work for you too.
