Plenty of people. Probably the most substantial recent controversy I can think of was when he called out a comedian for an anti-Christianity joke while judging Last Comic Standing. I understand his explanation for why he did it but that doesn’t mean it didn’t get misinterpreted. Like most of Norm’s controversies, I think he was a victim of his own intellect and nuance, and for assuming that other people were as capable of critical thinking as him.
Western production “profit worship” systems are literally incompatible with making good products. Toyota has refused to cave to western pressure of creating plastic, planned-obsolescant quote unquote cars.
As I watch The Internet look like it’s starting to adopt a new phase (let’s call it federation writ large), I’m watching for signs of both success and struggle. I have some strong opinions of features and functionality lacking in the current suite of UIs that might help adoption, but thing I’ve been thinking about more...
I made a similar post about this a few days ago. I’m not sure if you were inspired by that post or if there’s just something in the water. Overall, I believe that activity creates activity in a snowball effect. For small sites like Lemmy or other fedi groups, I think having so many dead, bot-driven communities hurts the overall activity of the group as a whole.
I browse /all/new pretty much exclusively, and I see all the time posts in communities made for specific TV shows, made by the same person every time, getting zero traffic or engagement. The communities themselves usually have only a few subscribers. Just to address the elephant in the room, I think this type of behavior is carried entirely from Reddit refugees who read online and thought that Lemmy was a 1:1 substitution for Reddit, without realizing that the Fediverse’s user base is just a percentage as Reddit’s, and that fractalizing groups into such specific topics out the gate hurts discovery and engagement.
I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
Can you elaborate on what specifically you didn’t like about LOTR? Peter Jackson has always had a penchant for using cutting-edge CG tech in his films, to the point that some people call them tech demos. I think WETA’s effects stand out as the best parts of the series, but the cinematography, sets, and acting are about as good as it gets in my opinion
I’ve owned probably 20 cars in my life, everything from 1951 to a 2012. That being said, my absolute favorite is my 1965 Volvo P1800 (not my pic, but same color, minus the hood which is rusted). What a joy to own, drive, and talk about with other car people
A wound is open for as long as it’s bleeding. For something like a papercut, this should be just a few minutes for most healthy adults. If you mess with the scab, the wound can be re-opened, though.
when can you resume normal activities
As long as you’re not actively bleeding and take the smallest precautions (wear a bandaid), you should be able to resume these within minutes
This isn’t really the community for that kind of question. You’d probably get better replies on NoStupidQuestions. That being said, ive definitely noticed the same thing. No real answer here, but it is a weird quirk with the Lemmy community. Stock photo memes? Seriously? Is this circa 2018 r/youdontsurf??
Last time, I used: “Anybody need anything while I’m out?” and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!
This isn’t necessarily what you want to hear but why are you getting a Chromebook? I’m assuming it’s required for your school, in which case I’d get the cheapest one you can live with
No, most well-adjusted people would not identify that sentence as racist. While it’s true that the sentence does involve race, racism is understood in society as something that involved prejudice or hate. None of that exists in the sentence “I’m white” within this context

Why are most memes on Lemmy from 5-10 years ago?
I’m glad people are active, but why are the most upvoted memes things from years ago? Bots? Users desperate for content?
