two verdicts from watching the boy and the heron:
watching it on a big screen makes me realise theres a separate art style for their backgrounds and their foregrounds, which gives it an effect similar to the old cinema way of making miniatures and compositing your actors over the top, its really cool

The only true grave threats to human dignity are the sickness of religious nutjobbery and instituionalized bigotry, which is what the Vatican (a shitty place if ever there was one) is espousing with this horrid document. The right to abortion, the right to surrogacy and to have access to whatever gender one wishes, these are moral imperatives that drive our species forward toward dignity - only a total shithead idiot would ever think otherwise under any circumstances.
There is currently a very funny, kind of sad dust-up over Helldivers 2, in which self-proclaimed “anti-woke” gamers have previously heralded it as a rare game where they believe “politics” does not play a factor. Their faith was been shaken by an Arrowhead community manager they believed they found to be (gasp)...
I wouldn't play this game because of my very "woke" anti gun and anti-war sentiments. I think whenever I see a game ad with someone holding a gun, what a sad thing that the video game industry has evolved into - everyone has to use a gun to solve their problems or get "points" in life. Pretty disturbing when you see how young males are groomed to be gun lovers. And really, it's the worst possible sort of image to be feeding them.
“I’ve been told that I need to stop this eclipse and I do not have the authority to do that. So yes, people are really concerned. But we’re just trying to prepare them.”
Having seen a solar eclipse back in 2017, I can say it was truly an spectacle. But I don't see traveling anywhere just to see another one - I mean it's interesting, but it lasts maybe two minutes and then it's over and back to normal. And I don't see spending all that money when you can get the best view of it watching news coverage on TV.
No. I didn't much like Reddit but I have never had so many problems with a social media site as I have with Lemmy. Right now there's 17 comments in my notifications page, but no way to access them because it just says "404 - page not found." And there's no way to view or erase them.
Lemmy has tons of connectivity problems also. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd have to rate it minus 100. I've left Kbin and actually am no longer even using Lemmy but once in a grand while. I'm looking for other sites that will work better.
Oh, I didn't know they were separate entities, yes my complaints are about kbin (don't know what lemmy is, I guess). I didn't mean to cause confusion, I'm just a newbie about these things....
Every time there's a solar eclipse, a blood moon, a super moon, or any other astronomical phenomenon, we never can see it here in Utah, it's always far too cloudy and too overcast to see anything. Same with this Monday's eclipse, though even if we could, we only would see a portion of it anyway.
Well we had partly cloudy skies Monday, but actually it cleared in time for the eclipse, but in Utah we only got to see about 45% of it, we weren't anywhere near the path of totality. The sunlight did seem cloudier (or shadier?) for a few minutes, but that was about it....
There's an article in USA TODAY (in April 2nd edition I think) about how restrictive Texas abortion laws are forcing women to have babies born with Trisomy 18, a genetic disorder that forces the child to be born unable to breathe, having to be force fed through tubes and having to undergo major heart surgeries over and over again, not to mention all the medications they have to be given around the clock.
Most women in states where abortion is allowed choose not to have the child when they find out the baby has this condition. Unfortunately, it usually isn't detectable in a fetus until long after 12 weeks, and many states now ban abortion after six weeks' pregnancy.
I only wish that the horrors these self-righteous white turds are forcing on American women would visit them somehow, someday. And I think they will in the afterlife, for there can be no redemption for condemning babies to have to endure life as a series of unimaginably painful shocks and horrors.
Imagine how much more costly it is to raise a child with genetic and other health disorders because the state won't let you abort the fetus once those abnormalities are detected.
Apparently he's not just a good Christian, but a great one - he sucks AND swallows. A true Christian, a truly valuable person, is one who gives and enjoys physical sexual pleasure. Not someone who disdains human sexuality and disavows any human desires. It's all just sex - no labels are needed, it doesn't matter who is giving a blowjob to whom, as long as people are doing it and enjoying it. That's the only thing that matters.
It’s easy to roll one’s eyes as the self-serving dramatics of MAGA voters using false claims of victimhood as cover for their ugly views. But, as the threatening language in Greene’s tweet shows, this “woe is us” act is deeply dangerous. The hyperbolic conspiracy theories and dehumanizing language serve to convince...
And the sad sick truth is, the Christians are the the only ones NOT really under siege at all and the only ones who seem not affected by any of the crimes they keep screaming about, which are all fictitious anyway. It's quite glaringly obvious taht Chrstianity always equals Falsehood.
That's probably because I tend to overstate things, but I'm actually being serious about loving the "carnivore" side of life. I'm not trying to raise any false flags - no sarcasm was intended in my statements at all.

Ugh not me. I've been through the SLC temple and it's one horrifyingly bland white cold interior throughout. If that's what mormons see as their 'destiny' in the afterlife, I'm kinda glad I'll be roasting in hell instead. To me that kind of austerity doesn't smack of godliness, it smacks of sterility and coldhearted lifelessness.

No one with any self worth or dignity should try to live their life by what the "bible" says. No real human could, and it is totally full of contradictions and hypocrisy at every turn.
I can't see oxygen either but I wouldn't want to depend on a supernatural source for it. There never was any actual Jesus Christ, but eventually we will see quarks and be able to prove their existence - what a dumb thing for any student to actually say, let alone a college student who should know better.
Amen to that. You should see how huge and austere the Mormon temples are - everything is sterile and white, big empty marble halls and white with no color or plants or anything. And everyday more news stories about new temples opening across the world. SIGH. If that's what they imagine heaven to be - a bastion of sterile whiteness - I'll gladly stay in hell and at least enjoy the vivid colors!
