So what’s the reason to go to a mall? Crappy food court food?
The last dozen or so times I’ve been to a mall, the only thing I’ve spent money on was food. It’s hard to justify spending money at the mall when I know I can get just about anything there from an online retailer for a lot cheaper. But I can’t get an Orange Julius online. Yet.
Probably move on to YouTube Shorts or Instagram reels.
Likely YouTube. While neither are great, between Google and Meta, Google’s got the better reputation. YouTube also has a larger audience, because it includes a ton of users who wouldn’t fall under traditional social media usage. Reels might be used as a periphery platform to drive more people to their main channel on YouTube.
Any TikTok creator who moves to Instagram full-time is either shooting themselves in the foot, or got a good contract from Meta.
That’s really cool! I wonder if there’s a way to find the previous owners of the house, that’d make for a really fun story if you were able to track down the original owner somehow.
I missed an opportunity to nab a free ticket to a George Carlin show because I couldn’t get the day off work. That ended up being his last tour before he died.
I think most people these days don’t use browser bookmarks as a “check this out later” tool, and instead as more of a “I frequently need to access this page” function. For me, I only bookmark a page if it’s something I frequently access; things like my email, Lemmy, some work apps, etc. In my use-case, bookmarks are a more “permanent” installation to my browser.
Also, “read later” apps generally strip the web page formatting and advertisements, and usually have an offline function of some sort; both of which you typically can’t do with bookmarks. These are especially useful for those who like to read on their commute.
The difference is whether or not there’s one objective answer to a question, or if a question could have any number of answers.
For instance, look at “How do you replace the starter on a 2006 Ford Taurus?”, which is rather closed-ended, as the only acceptable answer is “With the wrath of a perturbed god, as you’ve already replaced the starter three times in just as many years.”
Whereas, “What advice would you give someone starting their first job as a car mechanic?” is open-ended and could have a million answers, ranging from “Get comfortable replacing Ford starters, because those sombitches burn out once a year” all the way to “Buy a good set of wrenches, and also a ouija board so you can tell the ghost of Henry Ford to go fuck himself”.
Better to have mediocre content right now than 1 really good post every 2 weeks
Is it, though? To the best of my knowledge, Lemmy’s algorithm doesn’t penalize communities for low activity; it’s a pretty rudimentary algo based on votes over the last X hours. There isn’t risk of this community becoming de-ranked or anything along those lines. The good content will be just as visible as the bad content (for users browsing their all/sub feeds), so do we really need the bad content in the first place?
I find Bollywood movies to be quite enjoyable if you go into it with the expectation that it’s basically live-action anime.
Why should he take the blame for something he likely has no influence over? That’s like blaming the Sandwich Artist because you don’t like Subway’s bread; he just makes the sandwiches, he doesn’t design the recipe.
Yeah I’m sure he, alone, is responsible for his company’s practices, and isn’t just a dude trying to make a paycheck.
Bruh, he just explained what his company’s workflow is like. He wasn’t espousing the opinions that everybody is accusing him of, just saying how his job requires him to work.
This community can be hyper-reactionary sometimes.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. They’re an Australian psych rock band who experiment with a lot of different rock subgenres. They’ve put out a TON of albums in their short time together; all of them are fantastic, and each one is its own unique experience. They often have a narrative theme with each album, sometimes a singular story that goes across the entire album, or multiple albums. They’re hippies to their core, so a lot of psychedelic themes and songs about climate change and the oil industry. I used to not really care for psych rock that much, but these guys got me to appreciate it. I can’t recommend any one song or album to start with, but I definitely suggest jumping around their discography and just giving some things a listen. If you don’t like something, try another album; they’re all so unique that there’s a pretty good chance they have something you’ll enjoy.
I generally prefer Lemmy to Reddit, although I do miss being able to find niche communities that are both populated and active. Smaller communities tend to become ghost towns around here, unfortunately.
Come back tomorrow when the Caturday crowd is around, and Cat Lemmy will be poppin’ off.
I feel like you might have some things to work out if you think that’s what dating is supposed to be.
I mean, I can’t see it from here, so I have no choice but to believe you.
Excellent choice, I was gonna recommend And Then There Was Silence, but most people probably don’t have 14 minutes to spare for a metal interpretation of The Iliad.
None of the *bin apps I’ve tried seem to really function well just yet, so I mostly just use the default PWA for the Mbin instance I’m on. It works well enough. Though I’d really love a standalone app, especially if it could handle loading URLs to other instances clicked from outside the app; being taken to a community I’m already subscribed to but not being able to vote or comment because the link I clicked went to the original instance instead of the one I’m logged into is annoying.
I have to imagine that the only reason we haven’t seen this happen yet is because the technology to do so hasn’t been invented yet.
But, assuming that somebody comes up with some sort of projector-like device that can actually do this… is there anything that would legally prevent it from happening? Like, are there any sort of international laws against advertising on celestial bodies?
Oohhh, that sounds delicious! My old boss at work was telling me about Brazilian lemonades a while back and I’ve been meaning to try it at some point.
