TheWaterGod, in Is there a sub somewhere between shitty food porn and food porn?
@TheWaterGod@lemmy.ca avatar

You’re more than welcome to post on shitty food porn. There’s not a lot of activity and the votes will let you know if it’s the right place (I don’t remove posts unless they’re breaking rules). It kind of has two interpretations - pictures of shitty food (self explanatory) or food porn that’s shitty (ie bad lighting, bad presentation, etc).

Or let me know if you start an “average food porn” community and I’m more than happy to link it in the sidebar of SFP.

stoy, in Any good YouTube recommendations?

I have several excellent YT channels to recommend, in alphabetical order:

Accursed Farms - The source of the “Freeman’s mind” series, Ross also makes excellent videos about other games.

Alasdair Becket-King - ABK is a comedian who makes short but really funny videos.

Anders Enger Jensen - A Norwegian musician making awesome synth songs.

Barely Sociable - Interesting videos about odd topics, focuses on “dark” stuff, has a good voice.

Brick Experiment Channel - Remote controlled submarine made out of Lego and other Lego stuff, need I say more?

Calum - A guy from Scotland making amazing videos about stuff like: Rescue buoys from WWII, WV Beetles at the south pole, Flying homes of the past, Jerry Cans, Secret WWII Bunkers, and much more. This is awesome.

Code Bullet - Chaotic AI programing, very fun and cool to see.

DankPods - Started with iPod Repair videos, reviews random crappy MP3 players, has insane amplifier to blow up headphones, mostly talks about weird nuggets of technology. Well worth a look.

James Channel - Do you want a portable Super Nintendo, but are worried about not breaking it? DankPods oldmate will show you how to do it with some random components, duct tape and hot glue.

Jet Lag: The Game - A game show where the planet is the board, they have played connect 4 across the US, Raced around the world, played Tag across Europe, made New Zeeland into a board game, played CTF across Japan, and more, really good!

Mustard - Exellent transportation documentaries, with great CGI.

Paper Skies - Son of a Soviet air force pilot talking about how life and work in the Soviet air force was.

Paper Will - Documentaries about “dark” topics like “The ugly side of kids TV”, “Entertainment made by cults”, “Games about 9/11”, really interesting stuff!

Peter Dibble - Want to learn about the bus running on the wires of a ski lift system? You can here! You can also learn about that time that Amtrack brought a Swedish and a German high speed train across the US for tests in the 90s.

Ringway Manchester - Videos about two way radios, amateur radio and other things on the airwaves.

Side Note - North Korean cruises? Hitler’s Birthday? US presidential yachts? An ice block in Sahara? Mysterious Egypt/Israel flights? A floatibg hotel in North Koera? What do all of these topics have in common? They all have videos on the Side Note channel.

Only real homies watch Dankpods.

Got some open backs because of him. Prized possessions, they are. Even got myself the Frank Longboi

HootinNHollerin, (edited ) in Lemmy, is there a treasured piece of content that you stop yourself from going back to "too often" so as to not dilute it?

My Neighbor Totoro

blanketswithsmallpox, in Anyone else do "last chance socks"?

Apparently Darn Tough socks have lifetime warranties. I have 4-5 socks knotted up out of 10 that got big toe holes. They’ll get sent in sometime…

ccunning,

I just looked it up and my first pair of darn tough socks are 7 years old with no signs of failing. I feel like I got my money’s worth. I’m not sure I would even make a warranty claim at this point.

vala, in So is the US slipping into Civil War?

Why not Arizona? That’s surprising.

FriedCheese,

I am thankful everyday that the governor of Kansas is a Democrat as well because it means we likely aren’t participating.

Kansas historically was a free state, part of the union. People, that live here specifically, seem to forget that.

I just sent a message to the governor declaring my support in not sending any troops to Texas.

You999,

42% of Arizona is federal land, they know it wouldn’t end well.

cashews_best_nut,

Not enough cousin fucking to cause genetic mutations?

Jeredin,

As far as I can tell, it’s a purple state. The right republican would have to come along to pull moderates/libertarians in the state and Trump will only lose the state again - he talked a lot of shit about John McCain; that’s not going to go well. Don’t get me wrong, every state has it’s Trump cultists, but there’s just not enough.

Bad_oatmeal,

The current governor of Arizona is Katie Hobbs, a Democrat.

Aremel, (edited )

If you like video essays and video games, I can suggest The Tarnished Archeologist. He does deep lore dives into FromSoft games (Dark Souls, Elden Ring, etc.) using real world archeological techniques and insights, and draws parallels with real world civilizations.

Even if you aren’t into FromSoft games, his videos are worth it for the real world archeological parallels alone.

balderdash9,

That does sound interesting. I’ll check it out

mnemonicmonkeys,

Dude, Second Thought is basically tankie propaganda now

SoylentBlake,

You don’t have to agree with everything you see my dude. In fact, I would hope you don’t.

mnemonicmonkeys, (edited )

There’s a difference between watching content you don’t agree with and giving views (and thereby ad revenue) to propagandists.

I don’t know about you, but I’d rather not spend my limited time alive on listening to people who are intellectually and morally bankrupt.

SoylentBlake,

In my eyes, suppressing knowledge, or advocating it, is morally bankrupt.

If you have a better argument, you engage in the conversation, you don’t end the conversation and make sure no one else can talk about it again.

You shouldn’t even try to dissuade people from watching it, you should want the people around you to be better educated, I would think. Idk, man, I want my wife to stay with me cuz she chooses too, not because I’ve lied to her about every other man in the world, or destroyed her self confidence so she thinks she can’t do better.

To be clear, that’s abuse. All of that.

Looking around, imma go ahead and say capitalism, in any flavor it’s being expressed in this world, isn’t living up to its promises. From what I can tell, that puts me with 95% of everyone else.

Do I think communism is the answer? No. I think capitalism is fine for grand pianos, not Grandma’s pills.

After WW2 the post war economies settled on social democracy as the compromise between the two. I think we need to get back to that, and designate areas of the economy fundamental and forbidding people from profit or rent seeking practices. Education, medicine, emergency services, community development. Essentially if it’s something the government offers or necessitates, then it’s already paid for in taxes, that goes for permits, passports, licensing, reviews, All of it. I think that because it’s obvious the relationship between elected officials and civil servents to the population needs repairing, drastic change. The only positive change I can fathom is simplifying for the end user (one tax) and open-transparency.

I’m willing to entertain arguments against, I don’t claim or think to know everything. In fact, everything Im right about now I can guarantee I was wrong about before.

mnemonicmonkeys,

In my eyes, suppressing knowledge, or advocating it, is morally bankrupt.

Claiming I’m advocating the suppression of knowledge is a bold claim. I’m informing you (and anyone reading this thread) about their heavily skewed view of the world as a caution. You can always choose to not take my advice.

Also, claiming people are trying to suppress you simply because they shared their opinion is rather disingenuous. I have made a single personal attack on you, I’ve only criticized the informational valye of the channel you recommended, assuming that you were simply unaware of its issues.

You shouldn’t even try to dissuade people from watching it, you should want the people around you to be better educated

It’s weird you’re using this argument when the channel in question has a video called “Alternatives to Capitalism” that is just a 15 minute rant on why capitalism is bad and spends no time actually discussing potential alternatives to capitalism.

I’m willing to entertain arguments against, I don’t claim or think to know everything. In fact, everything Im right about now I can guarantee I was wrong about before.

Given how you immediately resorted to a “reducto ad absurdum” argument makes me highly suspicious of your willingness to entertain differing arguments. In fact, it’s concerningly similar to the debate strategy of Second Thought and tankues in general.

Please keep trying to broaden your horizons, particularly to more moderate sources. You’re sounding like you’re falling into an echo chamber

SoylentBlake, (edited )

You’ve cherry picked parts of my argument and disregarded the meat, the heart of it that carried my point.

In other words, you either found contention too soon and disregarded the rest of youre intentionally being obtuse and arguing circularly as if one of us can win here.

The opening line was a statement, not an attack. The "you " in the second line is generic, not directed. If I’m not directing at you, why would I feel personally attacked? Cuz I don’t. C’mon man.

Try again bro.

mnemonicmonkeys,

You’ve cherry picked parts of my argument and disregarded the meat, the heart of it that carried my point.

Your entire argument was (and should) be disregarded when you immediately resort to calling me morally bankrupt by your reducto ad adsurdum argument about your wife, which I actually did address if you read properly.

The opening line was a statement, not an attack. The "you " in the second line is generic, not directed. If I’m not directing at you, why would I feel personally attacked?

If you truly believe that any reasonable person wouldn’t take that as a personal attack then you need to brush up on your English skills.

Like I suggested for, you’re stacking up to be exactly what I would expect a fan of Second Thought to be like, and that’s not a compliment. I offered you a chance to help you dig yourself out of a tankie echo chamber, but if you want to mire yourself in that then by all means go ahead.

mnemonicmonkeys,

Head’s up, The Escapist is essentially dead since they fired their editor-in-chief (Nick Calandra) and all of the talent (Yahtzee, Frost, JM8, Jack, etc.) quit to start a new employee-owned company with him called Second Wind

jeffw, in How do I stop a crush from developing further?

Find someone else

macattack,

Simple yet effective. I think that there is something missing romantically in your life and those feelings won’t go away because you bury them

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

It’s not burying them per se, it’s how sex drives work.

WeLoveCastingSpellz, in Framework vs Macbook laptop?

Just go with framework, it is going to better in every single way, I would probably install linux on it if I were you. (you expressed your concerns about microaoft being an evil corporation)

Harbinger01173430, in What are some problems that countries outside the U.S. are dealing with?

The US itself

OceanSoap, in What's something you're proud of doing?

Went back to school in my mid-30s, just for my AA. But it got my foot in the door to a great field and now the upwards momentum is almost limitless.

I’m not really looking to be some big shot, as I prefer work balanced, but I love that I’m not stuck where I was before.

Psythik, (edited ) in Lemmy, is there a treasured piece of content that you stop yourself from going back to "too often" so as to not dilute it?

The Orville, Fresh Prince, and Firefly.

Been watching these three shows for many years; still haven’t seen every episode of any of them. One episode every few months/years is enough for me.

I fear for the day that I finally finish one of them.
