My childhood included my mother owning furniture that was decorative, but that we were not allowed to use.

Some was just because children are messy, but some was because the furniture was just old and couldn’t handle abuse from people sitting too hard or putting stress on unexpected angles.

That’s what this makes me think of

These days, it’s Alan Tudyk for me. For movies and tv shows.

He has been in some of the most bizarre and ridiculous concepts, but he still always makes them a delight to watch, even as a supporting character.

I haven’t been disappointed yet, even if it’s bound to happen eventually.

This is already a thing that happens currently. Some admins/moderators don’t like being downvoted and ban people for “vote manipulation” because they vote on things in their feed.

It is leading to exactly that, where people are worried that using the voting system as intended will lead to exclusion from participation in some communities.

Anya could talk to me about anything and I would listen

This is terrible advice

Most humans aren’t hunters at all

“People saying I am wrong prove I’m right!”

Probably Monty Python’s Life of Brian

I was one of those Holy Grail kids, I loved the movie and memorized the lines. Wanting more, I looked up other Monty Python works

I was in 7th grade or something, raised in a very religious home. I was not expecting what Life of Brian was, and I know I wasn’t old enough to understand all of the jokes they made

Hilarious movie

North America. Is there a pattern of difference?

Zero issues, everything works exactly as I expect

Not to say no issues exist, but I have encountered none, and that is data

This is what I’ve been saying. I think it should go even further and give admins a default block list of users.

A lot of folks talk about how Lemmy became useable after they spent hours (or sometimes a month) blocking the right communities and users, but most social media users don’t want to work that hard, they just want to start doomscrolling.

There are very few situations where a dead man’s switch would have helped these whistleblowers.

Once they have gone public and are at risk of being “suicided” they should have already released everything they knew. Sitting on it after already going public in any way only helps if the goal is to blackmail or extort the company, rather than to expose the company or protect others.

A lot of people have latched onto the idea of a dead man’s switch (and I get it, technical solutions are fun to create), but the only part of the scenario it would help is before the whistleblower goes public, while they are still gathering information and haven’t yet been discovered by the company. Even then, it wouldn’t protect them from being killed, it would only ensure that the partial work is released in case they were discovered and prevented from finishing it.

The Tick.

I really enjoyed the comic book hero shows, and The Tick and Freakazoid were great fun to watch as parodies of the genre.

I was so happy to see The Tick get a couple of seasons as an Amazon show.

Is that Pamela Anderson from Baywatch: the Movie? It was the first movie to be shot entirely in slow motion!

I can’t say I’ve ever heard that term used without heavy sarcasm before

When Steve divides, which half is Steve and which half is not? Are they both Steve? Neither?

My money is on the one sitting on the right. He does seem to be pondering the button

I avoid eye contact and hope I didn’t disrupt his day

Gelsinger was hired as a known long time engineer, rather than as a business expert. I would trust his numbers from an engineering perspective, even though I was laid off under his rule

I forgoti

Is this funny?
