You've just made Jojo's Bizarre Adventure a work of comedy.

I'd legit watch that 🤣

I'd low-key watch their stuff, if they put love and care into the dubs and don't go into 4Kids level of censorship.

What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early?

I live in Bristol. Our two nearest arenas which can host large (10,000+ capacity) concerts are in Cardiff and Birmingham.

We are the only major city in England that lacks an arena. And our council is far more concerned with letting property developers flood the market with luxury office blocks and student apartments.

I wish my city council would spend money on a stadium...

They're looking at the results of a pregnancy test when the lady is clearly about 8 months pregnant.

You misunderstand. I am not excusing the incel community. Any sympathy I had for them died years ago, and frankly I think any guy who thinks women deserve retribution because they won't sleep with them is a fucking coward.

But here's the thing, I think it's a horrific symptom of our societal ills, not a cause. Inceldom is an economic issue first and foremost.

We are a society that profiteers from human misery in so many ways. Men are judged quite harshly for their wealth, status and their ability to provide, even when we've made great strides to bring about equality between the sexes. Wealth inequality has created a predominantly male underclass. This affects many things like being able to afford a home, access to physical and mental healthcare, etc.

Another thing that I think doesn't help is how we've commodified sex in so many ways, but that's a very deep subject that would take me way too long to go into.

Online dating specifically is a monopoly headed by just two parent companies. They want your experience to be as miserable as humanly possible so that they can sucker you into paying the cost of several MMO subscriptions just to use the premium tier of their apps.

The problem isn't women, it's that Bumble Inc and Match Group couldn't give a flying FUCK about the integrity of their platforms. Socially awkward people depend on these apps to find love and their world view is being poisoned by a lack of interest from anybody who isn't a bot, sex worker, scam artist or a lady from the other side of the world seeking to marry their way into their country.

This rings especially true for Rick and Morty, and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Both are good shows ruined by obnoxious fandoms

I dunno either.

And people wonder why incels are a thing....

I'm not worried about Threads joining the fediverse. They can't even properly implement hashtags and trending topics, which already puts them far behind Mastodon and X.

Also, how would users on a microblogging platform be able to interact with a Lemmy instance? I'm a bit confused about how ActivityPub works in that respect.

The 'they can farm our data' argument is a bit moot when Lemmy is already publicly accessible, and it makes us no better than Spez if we are trying to combat people for 'data scraping"

I mean I agree in the sense that it's a weird fuckin meme. I personally don't get foot fetishes.

Also, I like being on Lemmy because it feels like I have to self-censor over on Reddit.

I can't even use words like 'cuck', 'e-girl', 'smurf', 'boost' or 'incel' on Reddit without most communities siccing automoderator on me.

You underestimate just how disliked Biden is.

He's a distant second... To Trump.

If other states follow, this could prevent America from becoming the Fourth Reich under a second Trump term. But it would also:

1. Build resentment towards the Democrats.
2. Ensure that DeSantis wins the presidency, and he'd realise that you could swing your iron fist around aggressively.

It has a lengthy, almost month-long inoculation period where you can be vaccinated. Should you show symptoms after that, you're fucked

It's Corbin time

If I were to start my own fast food business, I would make my food cheap as fuck and deliberately target locations that have:

• A sixth form or university campus nearby. Students are a big market.
• Nearby pubs or nightclubs. Doesn't have to be a city centre, could be a local high street. The main intent would be to target the late night crowd.

People care about speed, cost and not eating something that will give them food poisoning, not gourmet food. The luxury market is oversaturated and we have anything but the luxury to do that often.

Also, if it's a sufficiently large eat-in location like a diner, maintaining toilet facilities that don't look like they've been vandalized is important too.
