I’m working on a side project studying variations in human facial features. It’s been helpful to study celebrity faces because it’s easy to find numerous reference photos. I’ve actually got a fairly good range of weird looking white men, turns out Hollywood is pretty flush with those, but it’s been harder to find...
What I love most about this scene is that it represented anarchists fairly decently. Yes they’re a bit silly but so is the whole film. However they didn’t equate them with random chaos or Anomie....
Controversial hot take, I know… but in certain cases, normalcy and routine is the desired state. After a long weekend of family events, too many kids (of which most are my own), too many pets (of which roughly half are my own), and the house being drafty with the entire in-law clan and then some for the past few days, things...
Multiple women I know asked for ‘a day off’ from the family as their present i.e. their husbands took the kids out for the day, or they themselves went out to lunch by themselves, shopping etc.
I have my partner and my dog. There is no experience that they both don’t enrich. I enjoy my own company and have an active social life. But I’m also drawn to opportunities to be around them, or include them if I can.
Women especially just seem to have the life sucked out of them by their families - both by the experience of raising children but also, more often than not, the uneven distribution of labour/parenting in their relationships.
I don’t look forward to Mondays, even though we both work from home, simply because I have to spend more time at my desk than hanging out with my partner outside in the sun, or cuddling my dog. Those are the things I’ll look back on fondly. Not getting time by myself to organise other people. Sheesh.
Some time ago, I pulled this sticker off our old fridge before we got rid of it and put it onto my PC’s side panel (don’t ask me why, I guess I thought it looked cool). I don’t exactly know where it came from or who put it there, although I suspect it was put there by a Australian relative that was visiting us a long time...
Everyone knows you have a hard deadline and work backwards to today. It is immaterial whether that is enough time for the work or to line up appropriate resources. Duh.
My Scandinavian friend said it was difficult when he came here because he would start to respond but the person had already walked past.
It’s something you say when you first arrive at a meeting, or greeting someone. You also say it to strangers when you walk past each other with your dogs.
The response if you’re staying to chat with someone you know is ‘good, how’re you?’ and they say ‘good’ and that’s about it - you either move on, or start an actual conversation.
but in passing with strangers or colleagues in the corridor, it’s also ‘howyagoin’, smile maybe a nod and you keep moving.
I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn’t see anything relating to it and I’m kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.
Thank you for summarising how I feel about the debates.
I sometimes go to respond to the more extreme takes and then think, haven’t I said this before? And wouldn’t they already know this?
The ability to counter misinformation is so diminished now. Everyone can just stand on either side holding up signs that summarise their views and leave it at that.
Late 30s woman in Australia. Work in tech adjacent field. Progressive leftie.
Used Reddit for news, memes and funnies. Here for the same. Sometimes get involved in discussion but more often than not get too angry and have to put the phone down. Feel like you can have better discussions here than the old place, but I’ve noticed an uptick in right wing nut jobs and incels.
Absence of low effort ‘this’ and copypastas style responses is great. But I’m seeing a bit of that coming over too.
So many people I know through the workplace have done the Myers Briggs nonsense and hold onto their persona like a badge of pride. They’re well meaning, intelligent people who don’t know the background of MB and how it’s as scientifically rigorous as those paper chatterboxes we made in school to help you find out which boy you were going to marry by picking a colour.
I don’t say anything when people bring it up. I also have a few star sign friends. Sigh.
I think that’s what it says but that’s the error I’d say I get about 40% of the time when trying to view image posts. Is this a sync thing or something else?
Feels like a safety issue for other patrons too. If I went to the gym and found a guy there who wasn’t actually working out (presumably sleeping) I’d be pretty freaked out.
Unfortunately I have to use this cesspool a lot for work.
In any case, something I’ve noticed is the ‘contribute your thoughts to this topic (for ai)’ are always responded to by people who are clearly using chatgpt.
Moonfall was quite entertaining and simultaneously so bad. And the mooning (pun intended) over Elon must be making everyone who worked on that movie (presumably in 2020-21) absolutely cringe. I did.
Most unique looking celebrities?

What good/positive habits have you taken away from your time in Covid lockdown and kept up since then?
For example, I have kept the habit of washing my hands with soap, first thing when I come home.
What's your most unpopular opinion about music ?
For me : Trippie Redd’s “!” Is actually a great album
