ironic_elk,

That's why I still use Vanced. Sponsorblock is something I can't live without even though I have YouTube premium.

ironic_elk,

Honestly, probably. I didn't see the flash only because it was one of those super hero movies I can watch later or something. My wife also loves super hero movies and didn't feel like going. Not because we felt it would suck, but because we felt it was probably good enough for home watching.

Barbie is something both of us want to watch and are going this evening to see. I'm sure it will have a lot of similar tropes to lots of movies and isn't going to change cinema forever, but it will at least be different enough from super hero movies in general and looks it will be fun.

So I don't hate flash. I just decided to skip it for later as I've done with other DC and marvel movies. They're not different enough from each other anymore. It used to be Captain America as a spy thriller and Thor as an old gods new world type of deal and so on. Now marvel is just average jokes average movie. Which is fine but that's home watching stuff. Maybe an occasional theater watch if we want to get out of the house.

Right? Like what the fuck. I can't imagine ever going, "haha look at Eric's penis. AOC is a legend!" or anything. I like AOC because she doesn't do things like that. And if she did things like that, I would lose respect for her.

That was such a weird and weak "but both sides" attempt because it's only based in a hypothetical situation where they can pretend they know how things will totally turn out.

Edit: oh. Surprise. That koofnoof's history is not surprising at all. Apparently thinks conservative ideas such as hating trans people isn't hateful because "the true hate is from the trans people hating themselves". I've never once yet ever on here or reddit seem a stupid "both sides" come from anyone even remotely left leaning. It's always hateful bigots trying to say everyone is as much of a piece of shit as they are.

ironic_elk,

You must ensure they’re also kind to the next people

What if the people I'm kind to aren't kind to the next people? How do I enforce that? Can I use violence?

ironic_elk,

You're a psychopath for suggesting overcooked. That will bring out the worst in people. I played with my wife and I heard words and insults come out of her mouth that I've never heard before in my 20 years of knowing her.

I've heard similar stories from couples as well. That's a game you play when you have a steady solid foundation of a relationship and you feel like breaking it a little bit.

4.8/5 tho. Fun game.

ironic_elk,

To be fair, with a website as huge as reddit, a 25% or even 50% decrease in user activity probably won't be that noticeable from someone like us. Instead of 2 million posts a day, it's not now 1 million. Or instead of 500k, it's 250k. None of those are knew we could feasibly differentiate.

Maybe if you sit on r/all and keep track of how fast new posts are moving, but even then, the algorithm may still just move the same number of posts up and down the main pages. So even then, it would be hard to tell if usage is down.

Now obviously there's no way it's down that much. It's significantly lower. But I'm just saying even if we pretend that it was down that much, it would look like business as usual.

Also, either way, I'm still glad to find this place. It feels nicer and offers what I wanted in a way reddit couldn't.

ironic_elk,

Yep. He probably couldn't care about that community until he realized that hating it got ratings up with hateful conservatives.

ironic_elk,

You're assuming most of them are arguing in good faith.

ironic_elk,

I love all the, "I'm actually black and democrats are the real racists!"

I'm sure there are some black people that do believe that. But I mean like... KKK and nazi members and such aren't comfortable showing up to democrat rallies to show their support. Republicans seem to have no issues co-mingling with them.

But hey you have people like Kaitlyn Jenner who still support republicans despite the fact that so many of them think of her existence as woke and needs to be exterminated. So... Who knows.

ironic_elk,

Yes. Has been for a while now. I'm thinking probably years at this point.

ironic_elk,

As their incentive is to find you the best result, not the result which pays Google the most.

Google is the reason recipe websites are notoriously bad. They try so hard to keep you on the website long enough for ads to work and for Google to think you like staying at that website and so on.

So that's why we have 20 paragraphs of life stories before each recipe with 10 add shoved in between them, 6 adds on the left and on the right of the page, ads at the top, and so on. You spend so long trying to find the recipe, it's a win for all the ads that you're staying on.

And it's a shame because obviously the smaller blogs don't WANT to do that but they have to in order to have any chance to compete with major conglomerate corporate recipe websites.

I don't know if I'm ready for kagi yet... But it's tempting and definitely something I'm considering.

ironic_elk,

Otherwise you end up playing server whack-a-mole

That's always been a thing in the fediverse. Most instances have a rather large blacklist to block out stuff such as nazi subs and racist subs and worse.

ironic_elk,

They are two different markets. You can also buy the next elder scrolls have while paying for ESO.

One is a single player game, the other is an mmo with that mmo feel.

ironic_elk,

Don't forget, "I also want to use slurs really really badly."

ironic_elk,

I've seen plenty of actual death calls for gay and trans people. A Texas pastor even talked about lining up gay people and shooting them. Or that trans people should be eradicated completely. Donald Trump himself even reposted a tweet where the first sentence was, "the only good democrat is a dead democrat".

Can't say I've seen nearly anywhere near as much about republicans. Not as many people nor prominent figures. Sure, they're called corrupt and maybe stupid or harmful or other words but I don't remember Biden endorsing "the only good republican is a dead republican".

Obviously if someone says that republicans should all die, then yeah. That's just as bad. And it does happen. But not nearly as often as minorities get targeted. You're still right. Dehumanizing is absolutely not good and you should judge each person as an individual. But just realize there's quite a bit of difference in scope.

"It's just a differing view point that I think [x] people are the root cause of all the problems in society. In fact, I daresay society would be better without them. I'm not opposed to finding ways to get rid of those people and that they just shouldn't exist. Why can't you be civil about me implying genocide against a group of people that have actually not caused any harm to anyone?"

ironic_elk,

I don't know. I feel that the soul is part of what makes cannibalism so delicious.

ironic_elk,

Seems like not a whole lot has changed over these centuries.

ironic_elk,

Wish granted. You have 24 hours.

ironic_elk,

I want to try something... Less involved in getting me on more lists.

Honestly, people posting unrelated trash to subreddits with new moderators would be good. A dozen new moderators against thousands of non-bots just posting shit to reddit would be fun to try to moderate.

Not even rule breaking stuff so you can contribute more than once. Like submitting wikihow articles for laying down floor tiles in TIHI. and upvoting other posts that don't belong.

ironic_elk,

Literally the only reason I chose kbin over lemmy.

ironic_elk,

Lawyer pretty told me to ALWAYS lie about previous drug use

Would actually be hilarious if you're clean.

"Have I ever smoked marijuana? Well, no, I haven't. So I better lie about this and check 'yes' just like my lawyer advices."

ironic_elk,

Exactly. Whereas mastodon is for microblogs (Twitter basically). And the Instagram one.

ironic_elk,

Basically reddit admins said they will remove mods that don't open the subs back up.

Mods opened the subs and took a poll.

A) open like normal

B) only allows submissions of sexy John Oliver.

I think r/pics and r/gifs both did that. Not sure about any others. The vehement majority voted only sexy John Oliver posts.

So now the subreddits are technically open. And posts like this are what are filling them.

ironic_elk,

Maybe a hot take, but I don't mind as long as there are no victims and no one is actually hurt.

But I also won't lose any sleep if the content is banned by communities that don't want that (such as kbin.social if that happens to be the case).
