I started the community after the Saltgate uproar died down or it would get nasty quick.

I worked on a Southampton Christmas Market 2023 Video, Should I post the link on here?

It’s more complicated than that.

I can see it on the infosec.pub instance but clicking through to the community’s home instance, at !linux, doesn’t show your post.

This suggests there is a federation issue at work. It may be it was removed on the lemmy.ml or it never propagated there in the first place

Yes, I can see it through the web interface.

In the web interface, hit the bell to go here:

sh.itjust.works/inbox

Then “messages” and “all”

It seems very contradictory - you want to show them your work but you don’t want them to know it’s your work, so how would it demonstrate to them that you can strong a sentence together?

It sounds like you have more work to do on yourself or learn the ancient martial art of Give No Fux.

I have a few water bottles, I take my bags for life when I go shopping and I try hard to buy things in recyclable packaging. This has really helped reduce the amount that goes into my general waste.

The Engineer is not a villain though

It might be a mistake by Deadline or they are casting The Authority as the villains of the film which suggests they are taking the place of The Elite, probably drawing from “What’s So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?” The Engineer would then be replacing Menagerie.

and isn’t The Authority another property on the film list?

It is indeed. With the wealth of characters in this film it looks like it will be laying a lot of the foundations for the Gunnverse.

What I was unsure about was how they’d make The Authority work. Gunn knows his comics, so he presumably understands that having the team as part of the main DC Universe just doesn’t work (they are a commentary on the Justice League and have too many analogues). So he either needs to have them in their own universe but using The Bleed to bring them over as needed, possibly in an antagonistic way (at least initially as they are anti-heroes) or he first introduces them as The Elite or a version of it which leaves the door open for a (semi?) self-contained Authority film.

As he knows his comics, and is clearly taking inspiration from the best of them, it shouldn’t be any surprise that he’s eyeing “What’s So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?”

I’m assuming the movie will have to have Jenny Quantum instead of Jenny Sparks since they represent the turn of each century.

It may have Manchester Black instead.

I stopped going out of my way to watch trailers after Deadpool where it felt like they’d jammed all the best bits into the trailer and everything else was padding.

Why? I thought it was a fitting name given the source material that inspired it (although, granted it was more Gothic novels but still…).

A friend was in a car crash with his daughter in the passenger seat. I asked him how he was doing when I saw him in the pub and he nearly broke down. No-one had asked before and it had been pretty shocking experience.

Yes they can, I’ve done it a few times. It’s also possible for the creator of a community to transfer it to another Mod and leave the community (I’ve done it that way a couple of times too).

Not everyone from Yorkshire is like that, I presume.
