Sounds like the beginning of a short story by Greg Egan.

It’s so sad what happened to Fetterman… I was a huge supporter of his even before he began his Senate campaign but then he had a stroke and became a diet Republican. Fuck him

Tankies on their way to hate private ownership and dictatorship of the bourgeoisie so much that they begin to love state ownership and dictatorship of the bureacracy

The lack of continuous and backlogged content. For some this is a benefit because it gives them a reason to stop scrolling, but for others who come here to look for answers, find entertainment, or anonymously voice their opinions, this can be something of a downside.

Of course this platform is as anonymous as you make it, but I’ve seen some people say they refrain from commenting more often because they don’t want to be known as a regular, instead wanting to “blend in to the crowd” as one would on more populous sites like Reddit or Twitter.

These shit-quality shitposts are like the spaz kid at lunchtime showing you his “meme collection” against your will. I get serious secondhand embarrassment from seeing them. It’s sad seeing Lemmy’s shitpost community devolve into 9gag/ifunny.

For real. They weren’t even funny the first time they came around in 2018. Shitposts used to be quality

I actually just had this problem a couple weeks back. I was using revanced spotify but I had to keep re-patching it because it kept breaking. Eventually, I became so frustrated I said fuck spotify and found ViTune which is a fork of ViMusic (which is now defunct).

It workes exactly how I would want a music app to work. No accounts, no algorithms, just search for the song you want. You might get a playback error if you’re using a VPN, but that’s literally the only complaint I have about it.

Love Rashomon, it was so good. Definitely make it your next watch. Pioneered ambiguous endings in movies. It gives the audience a reason to keep thinking about it after watching because it allows them the freedom to determine their own canon version of the story.

I love the idea, but wouldn’t it be one of those old web indices (like a site or book that was just a list of other sites) with a keyword search function? Like a centralized webring with user submissions?

turns out a lot of people didn’t pay attention in 6th grade social studies.

is it me or does this guy’s eyelids look upside down like one of those optical illusion pictures?

i love that the article keeps reiterating how cutting edge the methodology they used is, but used a thumbnail of some shark models imported into blender. this inadvertently implies that blender is the “cutting-edge” technology lmao

right on. this tweet is like saying “there’s not a single country in africa that starts with the letter K.” there obviously is, but it’s targeting people who are knowledgable enough to know the answer but not intelligent enough to understand the point of the tweet.

unhoused? say what it actually is. homelessness. news sites need to stop promoting the stupid euphemism treadmill, it doesn’t help anyone but themselves.

Your thoughts are valid. But that’s the thing - they’re just thoughts. They won’t hurt you and nobody will judge you for having them.

Thoughts and emotions flow in and out of your awareness for a reason. If you want to come to a decision, you have to first understand where your thoughts and emotions are coming from. You should analyze them objectively as they come without indulging them further. Kind of like analyzing why movie characters do the things they do but for yourself.

Why do you feel like you don’t deserve a boyfriend? Why do you feel like you’re gross? What do you think is causing these feelings?

how absurd

in other words, a hammer “got absolutely wrecked” by a handsaw in a board-halving competition

i have a vague overview. care to share?

yesss, Rodriguez is so good. his lyrics are not only meaningful, but casual and relatable. broached real topics with such grace, it’s a real shame he’s not more well known. hate street dialogue is my favorite of his

hey my dude, you have an interesting post history. what inspires your posts? care to share your story?
