  • Maybe you shouldn’t even have had your account on the largest server to begin with?

    Some of us made our accounts on lemmy.world within a week(?) of its creation when it was tiny (June 5 for me). Doesn't stop it from belonging on mildly infuriating

  • It all depends on context, imo. People should generally leave other people's private property alone. But if it's an ugly cinderblock wall downtown, some kind of drab piece of infrastructure, and the graffiti artist is actually making an effort to make it look good - it can be public art

  • If you're going to break it down that far, why stop? Your "self" is not your central nervous system, but a portion of it - and not a very large one. It's your consciousness. Most of what your nervous system does is not conscious.

    Your self (and mine) are but a small portion of a single organ in a large network of organs and tissues and cells and bacteria. We developed because it was advantageous for our bodies - which predate our consciousness - to have pilots. We are periphery. We are a single part of an ecosystem. And definitely not the center of it

  • Ew

  • I have a huge problem with the Americans and Brits for this, they marginalise the fuck out if our dialect, make fun of it for being unitelligible

    I mean I know you're talking about the wider world and not just this thread, but you started the conversation by being disingenuous about Americans and their dialects. It's kind of hard for people to take "I have a legitimate dialect" seriously when you just got done trashing half a continent's worth of dialects

    Maybe if we all broach the topic with a little more understanding, you and everyone will feel better about it. For example Appalachian English and Northern Ireland English are both dialects with their own rules of pronunciation and grammar. They're both legitimate. But it's not surprising they'd have trouble understanding each other because they have so little interaction. But with patience and mutual respect it can happen

  • I could tolerate almost every redditism if it weren't for the belittling, argumentative, and self-righteous tones that permeated every front page discussion

  • Change your sort options. Your lemmy experience will change drastically depending on whether you're sorting by hot, active, top, etc.

  • At least lemmy has lots of mirrored communities so if one starts to suck you can go to a smaller one with the same topic

  • Yes! I struggle to motivate myself to stick with hobbies. I love photography, making art, writing - but often the motivation is just lacking. But cooking? I'm biologically motivated to cook (most days) so it's easy to keep up with. All I have to do is save recipes and plan ahead just a little

  • Yeah talk about a depressing thought

  • Absolutely agree, got a big crush on Cap so I like to imagine he's too tuned into the purest version of the 🇺🇸American spirit🇺🇸 to hate. But it is funny to suspend that and think about what if he was just a grumpy old man

  • Reddit @lemmy.world

    The official reddit app now has more 1 star reviews than 5 star (edit: on the Play store)

  • No doubt there were plenty of gay men back then but were they widely accepted?

  • hell yeah

  • That's the easiest way to make complex villains, give them a relatable goal with terrible means. Activates the good old "do the ends justify the means" question and tempts the audience. The best superhero movies give the hero a strong moral backbone to "save" the audience and find the truth between the two. Look at how Black Panther learns from Killmonger's criticism but does it without war and hatred

    Edit: Also The Batman is pretty solid with this aspect. He sees how his quest for revenge encourages violent vigilantism and inspires the incel-like Riddler. Because of this he decides to turn toward hope and helping others instead

  • And Hitler just wanted to improve the human race /s

  • Is there a community for this?

  • I always look at it as:

    Critics judge craftsmanship. Audiences judge enjoyment.

  • You would think that wouldn't you, Margot Robbie?

  • Lemmy Shitpost @lemmy.world
