ChicoSuave, in What do you like about liberalism, capitalism and conservatism?

This is written like a desperate list maker from Breitbart needs to make a deadline.

Why not just admit you vote right, hate a subset of people, and want to believe that you are the only person who can be trusted to break the rules?

Auk, in What's the consensus on swearing here

There's not really much need for swearing in most comments/posts I come across on lemmy/kbin, so I'm not surprised it's uncommon.

I don't see a problem with bringing out the occasional swear word for particular emphasis or humour, but when someone can't write regular posts/comments without cursing it's pretty likely they're just a kid trying to be edgy on the internet.

UnpopularCrow, in What are your dental hygiene tips and hacks

I spoke with a dental hygienist in a hot tub once (that’s how you know this information is solid). She did say to avoid rinsing or mouthwash after brushing with fluoride toothpaste. She also wasn’t a huge fan of alcohol mouthwash in general as it kills both good and bad bacteria. Too bad because I really do enjoy the “burn” feeling when I use it.

Dexx1s,

I’ve heard both, but I can’t not rinse after brushing. Any taste of actual toothpaste in my mouth is unsettling to me.

LordOfTheChia,

Just let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then reward yourself by washing it down with a cup of fresh orange juice.

Buffalox,

Acid and sugar as a dental hygiene advice. Really?
In this context you might as well recommend a Coca Cola!

hitmyspot,

I think you’ve been whooshed.

If you drink juice with toothpaste still in your mouth, it’s awful. The toothpaste is basic, the oj is acidic as you said. The reaction doesn’t taste food. This was a joke, not advice.

LordOfTheChia, (edited )

It’s the foaming agent toothpastes typically use (sodium laureth sulphate - SLS) suppresses the sweet receptors on our tongues.

When you drink OJ right after, the sweetness is suppressed and you only taste the bitter and other flavors.

Edit: SLS also breaks up lipids that may be blocking bitter taste receptors on your tongue.

Catoblepas,

I was told by my dental hygienist that although you shouldn’t rinse after brushing, you can spit as many times as you want. Your saliva isn’t going to be able to totally rinse off the fluoride the way water will. IME it usually only takes a few extra spits to get from overwhelmingly minty to present but bearable.

Dexx1s,

It still irks me. I guess it’s just me having rinsed my entire life.

GissaMittJobb,

You get used to it after a while. The taste of the toothpaste subsides pretty quickly as well, so it’s not like an extended period of suffering.

ApathyTree,

I got a sensodyne toothpaste recently that doesn’t have that overwhelming toothpaste taste. It’s the nourish stuff and its flavor is “natural mint and citrus oil”, and it’s mostly not the mint that I taste. It was super weird for a few days, but I strongly prefer it over toothpaste flavored toothpaste.

Maybe something like that would work better for you, as well.

I really enjoy boost.

I’m switching between Thunder and Eternity, both still in development but already solid for me.

Tibert, in Why are Some Apps Updated Daily?

What would be best? Dealing with a bug for 1 month waiting a monthly update, or dealing with a bug 2 days waiting a daily update?

NeoNachtwaechter,

That depends only on your ratio of:

Fixed bugs / New bugs

:-)

kibiz0r,

If you’re doing a daily release with a net increase of bugs, you’re gonna stop doing daily releases real soon.

surewhynotlem,

You clearly don’t work for Microsoft

JustSomePerson,

How about bugfixes every day if there are any, new features every month when they have been tested and QAd.

HeavyRaptor, in Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?

I would say Kevin Spacey. The man can act: Usual suspects, Seven, first season of House Of Cards. Shame how he turned out.

eran_morad, (edited ) in Is it just my circle, or has it been a challenge getting into the Christmas/holiday spirit the last couple of years?

It’s obnoxious from start (last week Oct) to finish (1st week Jan). Shit music, saturation marketing, shit social obligations, travel and/or houseguests, waste of money, house is cluttered, etc. it’s draining.

DuckOverload, in Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?

Smarter Every Day. Used to be just some amateur prettyboy nerd just geeking out and getting behind the scenes on cool stuff. Then it seems like he run out of cool ideas and money got involved. Last episode I watched, he was hocking some obviously awful aquarium game that he was involved with.

maniel,
@maniel@lemmy.ml avatar

yeah, stopped watching when he got a slowmo camera

splonglo,

Really? I think he still makes some really solid content

optissima,

Why is it always aquarium games?

Z4rK,

He does have great content and some great videos still that I enjoy, but it’s also clear he thinks he can understand and make a video about stuff he absolutely doesn’t understand.

The fall for me was when he fronted some random encrypted file sharing startup with very misleading marketing.

George Lucas

elbarto777,

Why?

starman2112, (edited )
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

OP never specified youtubers, just content creators

elbarto777,

Yeah, but why George Lucas? I know the prequels weren’t the best, but has he done anything else after them that you’d say is worse?

And the Disney sequels can’t be it since he wasn’t directly involved…

AnUnusualRelic,
@AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world avatar

He knew what he was doing when he sold to Disney.

elbarto777,

Hmmm… sure, but it’s not like he created the content, which is what the question is about…

TheDoctorDonna, in Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?

I was a big fan of Illuminaughtii/ Blair Zon for a long time. Now she’s so controversial, other creators make content on her.

NoMoreCocaine,

Is it “controversial” to be a plagiarist now? Depending on how it’s done, it’s edging on a crime or a full blown crime, rather than controversy. I don’t really think there’s much to make an dispute about.

That said there’s certainly a lot drama about her, not that I’ve looked at any of it. So I am not in the know of anything that’s going on, beyond the plagiarism.

Duamerthrax,

I just started getting into Illuminaughtii when the controversy started. I stopped watching her, but was on the fence because at the time, ONLY drama channels were talking about her. The easiest info to find all had a profit motive for her to be wrong. Now that the issue has expended to a wider area, it’s pretty clear that she is a plagiarist.

TheDoctorDonna,

There’s a lot of legal stuff and then generally the way she treats people (especially people who were supposed to be her friends, employees or housemates) is pretty controversial, but technically not illegal yet. She tried to take Oz’s house away from him through convoluted legal practices and used her power over him to turn him in to a slave.

Kichae,

The way she treats people isn’t “controversial”, either. Being a shit stain of a person isn’t controversial just because it hasn’t crossed the line into being illegal.

What you mean to say is that she’s polarizing, because she has fans that don’t realize she’s an awful person.

TheDoctorDonna,

She gives rise to public disagreement, I think she fits the controversial definition as well, but I didn’t realize I was supposed to be pedantic when I comment.

banneryear1868, in Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?

Andrew Callaghan sad to say because I was a huge fan and I guess there’s been actual rape allegations come out although he hasn’t been charged with anything so who knows. That style of journalism I just love so much and he is so good at it so it’s a shame.

militaryintelligence,

2 women said he tried to have sex with them and made them uncomfortable. There are allegations of sexual assault, however I’m withholding judgment. Dude seems to drink a lot.

dangblingus,

In case you’re wondering, it’s called “Gonzo Journalism”. He’s following in the footsteps of Hunter S Thompson.

zbyte64,
@zbyte64@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yeah, this one hits home. Recently he tried to put out a few videos, haven’t watched them, kind of waiting for someone else to dissect it for me because yeah…

banneryear1868,

I watched them and they were alright. It’s disturbing how serious the allegations are yet no legal actions are being taken against him. It’s like he’s in this place of irredeemable limbo. I’ve volunteered with inmates and believe people can be redeemed but not if they can’t face their wrongdoings.

DigitalTraveler42,

He went from looking like he was going to have his own HBO series, to almost completely disappearing, also the allegations were by underage girls and he acknowledged the allegations as true from what I remember.

banneryear1868, (edited )

From what I understand he was a freshman or close to it as well. Wouldn’t surprise me though.

Sir_Simon_Spamalot, in What is your unpopular flim opinion

Tenet is a great movie!

kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E,

Uncontroversal.

Sir_Simon_Spamalot,

Really? A lot of people seem to hate it for some reason…

SRo,

Yeah because it’s shit

hightrix,

I think that’s an internet bubble phenomenon.

When I hear that movie mentioned in real life, it is always to rave reviews.

echodot, (edited )

Really? I could finish it.

Christopher Nolan is a director who is fine when he is sort of contained but if you don’t contain him he tends to go off on random tangents that don’t really lead anywhere and the movie just becomes this kind of incoherent nonsense.

This skit absolutely nails the problem with some of his films

hakunawazo,

!eivom taerg a si teneT

NotPersonal,

I loved 99% of that movie. Except the bad guy. I try not to focus too much on bad dialogue but some of the lines he has on the final phone talk is so bad it really damages the movie. But it also has one of my favourite lines of the last 5 years.

“What’s happened happened, which is an expression of faith in the mechanics of the word. It’s not an excuse to do nothing.”

I fucking love that moment.

Gigan, in What is your unpopular flim opinion
@Gigan@lemmy.world avatar

Wes Anderson movies are fucking terrible.

AWittyUsername,

Yeah I’m convinced it’s all some sort.of ironic meme that I’m not in on to like those movies.

InLikeClint, in What is your unpopular flim opinion
@InLikeClint@kbin.social avatar

I found Inception to be stupid AF. It looked amazing, but the story was meh. Interstellar however, is the shit.

bunkyprewster,

I don’t remember the details but I hated Interstellar. The problems of physics are overcome by love, or something like that.

sbv,

I was like “this Lemmite gets it,” until I got to the Interstellar part.

But I’m glad we have common ground on the shit show that is Inception. It felt incredibly long. I don’t know if it was because I was bored, or if it’s genuinely six hours long.

idunnololz, (edited )
@idunnololz@lemmy.world avatar

All the people saying inception was actually sht made me doubt myself and go and binge all of Christopher Nolans movies again in chronological order. Maybe Im just a sucker for his film style but I still liked Inception even after all these years. The prestige was also better than I remembered it was. I also appreciated what Tenet was trying to achieve despite that movie having pretty bad reviews for a Nolan film.

MBM,

I really liked Tenet’s “half of everything is moving backwards” action scenes, which I guess was the main achievement. They must’ve used a bunch of cool tricks while filming it.

idunnololz,
@idunnololz@lemmy.world avatar

I think it was also challenging to write a story that can work both forwards and backwards. I don’t think they succeeded in doing so but I’m impressed that they tried.
