An example is that I generally despise Jordan Peterson and most of what he says, but I often quote one thing that Jordan Peterson said (in the linked video) because I think it’s a good summary of why toxic positivity doesn’t work....
I’m in favor of censorship in some cases - which is why it really takes an insane amount of ridiculous nonsensical censorship that actually hinders constructive online communication for me to be saying there’s a problem with censorship. I thought I’d never say there was a censorship problem, but there really is now, although it seems mostly restricted to YouTube. Elon Musk’s Twitter has some stupid censorship too, though. It takes away accountability when things can’t even be criticised anymore, and misinformation/disinformation is allowed but can’t be corrected, for example.
The real problem with YouTube is the censorship, both of creators and commenters, when they aren’t saying anything offensive or problematic but simply referencing different companies, corporations, governments, countries or industries.
Hearing the movie is getting bad reviews. But Snyder says the director’s cut will be a completely different movie with a different vision. I admit Zack Snyder’s Justice League (director’s cut) was much better than the theatrical version and quite different (though I had mostly forgotten the original by then). Not sure if I...
I think Australians do the worst New Zealand accents and vice versa. So maybe closely related countries just don’t understand each other/their differences as much as vastly different countries in certain cases? In some ways it’s the other way around tho so idk.
+100 for Barry, that show was too good and underrated. I don’t know if I’ll find a show as great as that for a while, but thankful Fargo is still on.
As far as A24, I think Robert Eggers’ ‘The Lighthouse’ and Ari Aster’s ‘Beau Is Afraid’ are my favorites.
Another weird movie I enjoyed recently is Triangle of Sadness (2022). Oh and ‘Enemy’ (2013) was so artistic, I think. Also ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ (2022), what a movie.
Boots Riley’s debut film and TV show, Sorry to Bother You and I’m a Virgo, respectively, were amazing as well.
I haven’t seen the ‘X’ films or Frankenstein’s (…) but I will have to now.
I found the new Avatar lacklustre as well. Dune wasn’t my thing either. Big hopes for the Jak and Daxter film but that’s mostly because I hope it will spawn a new game. Enjoying the fifth season of the TV show ‘Fargo’ airing at the moment which is mostly consistently good.
Nice South Park reference! I guess you probably haven’t been penalised in any way or you’d know, so you can probably can get away with that. But isn’t it technically illegal to not cast a proper vote in Australia? (I think compulsory voting is stupid so I don’t blame you btw)
Isn’t that illegal? I think it’s legal in the UK though, someone told me it’s tradition to draw a big cross on the whole ballot paper and they actually count no-votes as distinct from non-votes, or something like that.
Thank god for TV Tropes. The “subtitle” meaning “closed captions” or “sub-name” thing still bugs me. Am I the only one bugged by one name being used for multiple things confusingly? Like how “chips” is often used to mean either potato crisps (packet chips) or potato fries (hot chips). Why not just use different names, you know?

Why do people not understand that you can agree with one thing someone said or did while disagreeing with the majority of what they stand for? (www.youtube.com)

I'm really getting over the enshitification of the internet. (lemmy.world)
Should I wait for the "Snyder cut" (director's cut) of Rebel Moon?

Is it illegal to charge insane prices for things?
Is there a law preventing me from for example selling a baseball hat for $20,000?
Why is Australia the only "core anglosphere" country where voting is mandatory?
What's it called when a title has "or" in it followed by a different title?
