A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny… Let’s have it!

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

Emperor,

You’re a cunt. Happy?

Are we suggesting defederating everyone on lemmy.ml?

I don’t think anyone is suggesting anything, yet.

Personally, In see no need to defederate as their actions aren’t having an impact on this instance. We usually defederate on the grounds of noncery and occasionally when an instance is full of toxic trolls (or temporarily if they are having technical problems that impact our server). I’d just suggest monitoring the situation for now.

And on the issue of popular communities being on there: it’s the Fediverse, find a relevant instance or a general one (preferably not lemmy.world - we need to spread the love/load) and start a new one.

Today’s lesson: don’t talk Politics on tankie instances.

Having said that, I do also think we should stop calling them tankies as a pergorative. If we are complaining that they don’t have basic respect for their users then we should probably set an example and not stoop to name calling.

I refer you to my first sentence.

Emperor,

Someone insulted sausage rolls and beans (the breakfast of champions) and it escalated hard. Europe has always been the board on which we like to play out our grievances anyway.

Emperor,

Been listening to the updates on radio - it’s worrying.

My auntie went to Symi every year as a friend of hers runs a bar there and I know it gets really hot there and that, outside the towns and villages, it can be pretty isolated and rocky underfoot. I definitely wouldn’t have gone strolling off on my own there as one slip can leave you at the bottom of a rocky slope in the baking sun.

Emperor,

Dirty deeds all round.

Emperor,

I didn’t even realise this was a thing - I thought balloons and the like looked stupid and wasteful but this is just mean.

Emperor,

It’s like some people don’t give a damn about torturing animals if it brings them the slightest bit of pleasure gets them a few clicks on social media.

FTFY

Emperor,

The international foot or the Imperial foot?

Emperor,

This film is considered to be one of the lesser clones of Die Hard

Enough of the hard sell!

Star Wars: Hunters celebrates launch with massive murals in London and Los Angeles (www.pocketgamer.com)

Star Wars: Hunters has just released, and as Zynga’s big pitch into the arena of Star Wars games made for mobile and Nintendo Switch, it’s already making waves. One way they’ve been promoting the game is with a massive set of murals in London & Los Angeles....

Emperor,

Are they murals? It looks like AR or some such.

Emperor,

But two years on, both Destiny and her little boy are doing well.

So this happened 2 years ago when she was 18.

Emperor,

Elon Musk: my work here is done.

Emperor,

No, you are stalking me!

Emperor,

Where to next?

Emperor,

It’s not just the community activity, but the Mod’s. For the first three that is 12 months, 10 months and no Mod (also no posts). The last has three More, 2 have been gone 6 months, and the other 1 month.

Emperor,

Ye Olde Felcher

Emperor,

We aren’t there yet.

Most countries have an undercurrent of explicit fascism and the UK is no exception from Oswald Mosely to National Front/Combat 18 (I had a few run ins with the latter in my youth) to recent proscribed groups like National Action but they rarely gain much traction like they do elsewhere in Europe (Italy and France most obviously). Farage isn’t a fascist but he is a right wing populist and likely a wolf in sheep’s clothing (although a friend did go on the piss with him and reckons he is genuinely affable), which is a concern as I can now see a path that takes him to Prime Minister (as, I presume, he can which is why he’s standing) and that worries me as the right always have authoritarian tendencies that tend to start with quelling dissent then it escalates. So we may be sleep walking into fascism without a lot of people realising it.

Emperor,

Waffen? 🤔

Emperor,

Yes, but they do specify “no Nazis” so it can’t go wrong.

Emperor,

Tumblr is short-form blogging platform, inspired by tumbleblogs, which were a thing back in the day (another example of Big Tech lifting an idea and then walling it off). So it’s like micro-blogging but without the word limit, so you can throw out a thought or a picture or a video, or go into greater detail if the mood took you. On Tumblr people would tend to have a few on different topics.

I much preferred it to Twitter as it felt a lot more free-form but usually focused on a topic.

Emperor,

I’m sure they are up for suggests as that name is not doing it any favours.
