homes

Maybe where you grew up, but I grew up in the 80s and 90s, and that sort of thing was unheard of. And very much considered completely and utterly unacceptable.

I’m sorry that’s not how you grew up.

Uh… I’m really sorry to hear that.

Then you must have a strong opinion on The King’s new Tea Tax.

Psychopathy is a severe mental illness.

“Insane” is contemporaneously used as a colloquial term. Its use in the field of mental health is antiquated.

I wonder how many different ways these other countries can say “go fuck yourself” in their various language languages.

well, I guess we know which way this is going to go now.

see ya, paramount

I wasn’t expecting that because they’re fucking idiots. To everyone else, it was perfectly obvious exactly what was going to happen.

e voilà

awesome! thanks!

mmm… bird soup…

cool! bust how much water?

I can still hear the annoying clicking noise that those phones made whenever you opened or closed them.

Got a recipe for that sauce by any chance?

This is why I don’t trust math. It steals cheese.

easy one: Jurassic Park (1993)

I had read the book, maybe, a dozen times before the film came out, and holy shit was I disappointed. crushed, really. Not just in what they changed, but also what they left out. it totally ruined for me books adapted to film. any time I see a film based on a book I’ve read, I’m always let down.

no fucking way

Not just 90s— early 90s

cognitive dissonance

But also when they would ban someone, they would do so from every single community on their instance, including ones that you’ve never even heard of.

this is what I was talking about earlier. I find it to be an absurdly childish overreaction, and the mods & admins on some communities/instances default to this behavior with a ridiculous amount of entitlement. it’s not hard to see just by looking at the modlogs.

And also deny you the ability to appeal or ask questions - e.g. Reddit has both a modmail and the ability to continue discourse directly in a post that has been removed from a community listing.

I find this to be a huge shortcoming of the platform, and something that contributes to a lot of “account churn” where users evade bans my instance-hopping and creating new accounts.

Oh, and soon a change is going to give lemmy.ml veto power on what communities are allowed to be suggested to new instances - and being baked right into the code so there is no way to change that - rather than use a third-party listing.

well, fuck that

just another reason to switch to PieFed

when I first joined up during the reddexodus, I followed the lemmy drama a bit, but I’m really over it by now. after 30+ years of following online community drama, I’m just burned out on it. it’s all so petty and childish, it holds no interest for me anymore.

oh, sorry-- .ml

I haven’t personally run afoul of issues on dbzer0, but I’ve seen others complain about it for a while.
