Why do we focus solely on this one aspect of life?

The Weeping Angels apparently originated with Steven Moffat seeing a statue of a weeping angel in a structure in a cemetery and returning later to find out it was gone. At least according to this RadioTimes article. They first appeared in 2007 in the episode Blink....

So far I’ve checked several “getting started”'s and FAQ’s and Google and everyone just tells me that it’s possible but nobody tells me fucking WHERE. So obviously I’m in need of help. Preferably with a diagram or colourful pictures.

As far as I’m concerned this is a free speech comment section. Just don’t forget the people who might be reading this and the beelaw.

I’m thinking along the lines of older spouse dies, younger spouse marries someone younger and becomes the older spouse. Then older spouse dies again and repeat. Has anything like this happened in a long enough chain to be significant? Is it so mundane no one cares?

I keep being told it’s because of the Republicans that we can’t have nice things. So what gives in California? We should be overflowing with progressive policies.

I have friends who are Afghan who have had arranged marriages so this led me to be curious to ask, why does this practice still persist into the 21st century?

This is a serious question, mostly addressed to the adult women among us but also to anyone else who has a stake in the matter....

Hi there, I’m a registered nurse in Phoenix, Arizona and I’m seriously considering moving abroad because this country is driving me insane for a lot of reasons. I was considering moving to Israel since I’m Jewish and I’ve heard they have a better healthcare system there and pay nurses well but this war has made me not...

I used Google before, but since I degoogled, I only have my contacts on my Android phone. However, I would like to be able to access them on Linux too and have them synced.

I bet if the kind of things happening in the US happened in China, I wouldn’t be able to stop hearing about it. I mean, people are still criticizing the Tiananmen Square massacre, and hasn’t anything happened since then? It’s like still making conspiracy theories about Kennedy’s assassination or 9/11, those are old news.

Have no idea what it is about, other than being decentralised. Some basic search results suggests that its a sham, scam and riddled with crypto ideas. Or is it apart of something noteworthy? Geuinly curious what the general consensus is of the Web3.

I’ve found a good number of negative reviews of Bose QC 2 and quite a few good things said about Sony WF-1000XM5 so I’m leaning towards buying them but would love to hear the general recommendation on Lemmy first....

I wouldn’t dare defile Douglas Adam’s memory by not mentioning that you should keep a towel with you at all times, but my second contender is a surprisingly short three-parter:...

Breakfast cereal served the standard way, in a bowl with cold milk poured on and eaten with a spoon. Does this count as a soup, why or why not? Defend your answer with logic (or emotion, whatever I’m not your dad)

I had this discussion with a friend, and we really couldn’t reach a consensus....

I am not native so I am using DeepL Write (big shoutout) to correct this, so sorry if something is off....

Damn, getting some hate for this post. Thanks, I guess. Lemme rephrase this post title, since this is the part I was curious about in the beginning anyway til everyone fixated on the “tion” and ignored the original ask altogether.

To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of...

If your job was to come up with greater enshittification for society, what would you do?...

Just looking at the supposed moon-landing footage (including that really ridiculous bit with the sparkly module "lifting" back up off the moon), how can anyone with a brain actually think this is real?
