PP_BOY_, (edited ) in What groups you are unwillingly associated with? How you handle it?
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

I’m unwillingly associated with the U.S. Democratic Party only because I’m uncompromising in my beliefs of equality and antifascism, but disagree with almost other policy of theirs^1


  1. This doesn’t mean I agree with the only other major US party.
surewhynotlem,

I’m not a Democrat. I’m anti-Republican. As soon as there’s another actually viable option, or ranked choice voting, the Dems will never see me again.

phillaholic,

This is the correct answer. Pretending there are more than two choices doesn’t stop Roe from being abolished. You have to play the hand your dealt, etc.

someguy3,

If it’s ranked choice, won’t Democrats be lower on your list?

Alpha Pheonix is a great channel with some really good electricity videos recently.

What’s wrong with this community? Favorite hex codes…?

Seems like everyone in here is having fun so, nothing!

aesopjah,

it’s just a more specific way of asking favorite colors

Not my favorite, but I use this one for debugging .

It started back then in the early 2000s when I used to modify winamp skins, which used this particular color for transparency in their BMP sprites (no PNGs back than). Since then it stuck with me.

siipale,

I also used to use that color for transparency. When I made something in MS Paint I set that color to where I wanted transparency so I could move it to other window with transparent selection. Nice workflow for simple pixel art but I would rather use GIMP these days.

ad_on_is,
@ad_on_is@lemmy.world avatar

yeah, Gimp ain’t much different from MS Paint regarding UX 😂 /s

ultra,

I know Minecraft uses that for the “broken” texture.

Louis Rossman.

I enjoyed his board repairs, now he’s only rambling.

lud,

Yeah, just took at his more recent thumbnails and titles. It feels like just ragebait. He is just angry at everything.

I stopped watching his videos when he started to put some effort into making clickbait thumbnails, because I felt the videos became much worse.

iodine0320, (edited )

Agreed. Northridgefix is the new Rossman

A_Random_Idiot,

I’unno. I’ve seen a few of his videos too, and he strikes me as a cunt as well. I will admit I’ve not watched enough to say that for an absolute fact that he is actually a cunt, but I can say that what I have seen has definitely done nothing but encourage me to avoid him.

A_Random_Idiot, (edited )

I agree with a lot of Rossman says with regard to right to repair and stuff.

but hes just an insufferable cunt.

That’s fine, I actually like that. They likely mean his more “culturally” aware stuff

13617,

Agree to disagree

flop_leash_973,

Yeah, he is more about outrage content these days it seems. What he is railing against is usually something I broadly agree is bad from the sounds of it. But he rarely goes any deeper than “this article or 2 claims this corpo is fucking us, you should steal their shit, move to another state, or just in general be as unproductively outraged as me about it.”

And he has started to branch so far into things he doesn’t really know anything about at times that he is either flat out wrong, or so uninformed as to not have an opinion worth listening to on the subject to begin with.

He seems to want to be some kind of investigative journalist reporting on the wrongs of the big guy, but he doesn’t want to leave his house and risk getting into uncomfortable real world situations to do it unless it is a hearing about right to repair. You don’t find Rossman doing much deep diving into details, just surface level rage baiting I guess is what I am trying to say.

Zangoose,
@Zangoose@lemmy.world avatar

I wouldn’t call necessarily call it “unproductive” though? He has been lobbying in cases and contributing to the right to repair movement for several years now. It’s not like he’s doing nothing, he’s doing everything that he has the power to do.

FrowingFostek,

Would you mind elaborating? I never really watched Ethan that often. I thought his show with Hasan was pretty good.

Absolute trash zero effort content. People just watch because they are sooo invested lmao. Losers

Sovietwomble has been consistently obsessed with the quality of his videos. He also consistently makes me laugh.

Commanders quarters. Started as an interesting budget build magic the gathering commander deck channel and in less than a year went from that to click bait, 7 videos a day between 10-15 minutes about spoiled cards from whatever the new set coming out is. It absolutely flooded my feed and was completely worthless.

There was also some drama about the lead guys opinions about other IPs getting cards (the walking dead being the first) and how it was the end times for that particular flavor of inked up cardboard.

  • The Bread Circus
    • They go through the Star Wars movies from a book lore perspective, point out flaws in the writing and lore-breaking, and offer suggestions on how the sequels could have been handled differently. They did The Last Jedi, and I really enjoyed it. They also have some cool videos on podracing, ships, and guns.
  • Defunctland
    • History of Disney rides, takes the culture of the time into consideration, the video on queues is a must-watch, imo.
  • Draw Like a Sir
    • Really solid drawing tutorials that aren’t very complicated, takes the time to break down high-level concepts into simple exercises. Overall a really fun channel to watch, even if you’re not into drawing.
  • Fredrik Knudson
    • Long, deep-dive videos into internet history/culture. Rare uploads, but a banger every time.
  • James Lee
    • Newgrounds-era animator with amazing compositing techniques and a very unique animation style where he inserts himself into his videos as a very animated caricature of himself.
  • Lemmino
    • Like the History Channel but without the fluff. Cool topics, very nice animations, high production, high-quality content.
  • MattKC
    • Known for a Lego Island decompilation project. Also does retro console repair from time to time — very fun watch.
  • Paper Will
    • Rare uploads. but interesting video essay topics. High quality and a nice watch during lunch.
  • Pecos Hank
    • A storm chaser who is Reed Timmer’s ying to his yang. Very chill, documentary-quality footage featuring himself playing guitar and talking about the beauty and power of nature. You’ve probably seen his footage on the Weather Channel!
  • Technology Connections
    • Great deep dives into random technology, old and new. The video on the popcorn button on microwaves is really good (I think that may be on his second channel?)

Fall of Civilizations, though those are podcasts first. All of them are amazing.

Lockpicking Lawyer makes the best short videos. Not “yt shorts”, it’s just that it takes him 2-5 seconds to pick open the vast majority of locks, the rest of the video is his comment on the lock quality.

JoshStrifeHayes has 3 separate channels now, but that main channel that deals with MMOs still makes quality content in my opinion, but not as often. I also enjoy him playing the old games on JoshStrifePlays.
