  • TIL. I didn't care about this too much but I just turned it on and I kinda like it

  • I'm a simple man. I see complaints about downvotes and I downvote that.

  • I was just on when it first came out on TV and I didn't know anything about it. I laughed more by myself to that movie than any other I can remember watching alone.

  • I'm sure there's some debate on the exact number but around 17 million is the typical number.

  • Name one and I'll show you how it has anti capitalist policies

  • I thought videos wouldn't be all that political. But it's a lot political, even if the video itself isn't political. And there were a few others I looked into. But.. I'm just going to nope out of all of them.

  • There aren't any poor capitalist countries.

  • What are you talking about dude?

    Stalin killed way more people than the Nazis did. Nazis and Satlin were both horrid and evil. Don't even pretend that there's any redeeming qualities of Stalinism.

  • You can always block the users that are the worst.

  • FWIW I did not have a good experience with hexbear communities. I had originally subscribed to a few that weren't particularly political. But apparently they're all political.

    However, my response was to unsubscribe from all hexbear communities.

    I could block the instance with the app I'm using, but I haven't gone that far yet. I didn't think it was necessary.

    So... While I'm personally vehemently opposed to much of the politics hexbear represents, I also don't think we need to defederate. At least not at this point.

  • Lost Metal by Sanderson.

    I'm trying to read the other Sanderson books. Got through Way of Kings, but it was a slog. I don't love really long books.

    So I'll probably read Tress next and then give Storm Light Archive stuff another shot.

  • Circular economy is a better term.

    Closed-loop economy would be more like all money used is also generated within the system. No money is added or subtracted from the community.

    But whatever... I get what they're talking about.

  • The four hour workweek

    Four hours? That would be amazing.

  • Closed loop... Except for the government taxes. And the financials which will likely not be home grown. And the outside regulations, inspections, state compliance, health care, etc, etc.

    I'm all for a closed loop society. But even a government as "free" as the USA would never allow that.

    Still I applaud their efforts. Maybe the headline is a bit misleading though

  • World had quite a few issues. I think they've resolved it though.

    And even .ml had some security issues. But the lemm.ee dude had already patched the security hole with a custom build and was helping all the other admins.

    I quite like the instance owner's work and transparency.

  • It's great. Way better uptime than lemmy.world or lemmy.ml

  • I think you just say that it's not an appropriate picture for an avatar. You don't have to explain much further. Or "ask me when you're older"

  • lemm.ee and lemmy.one have a bunch of good communities. The star trek communities are on their own instance.

    So yes. There's a ton of important and good communities that aren't on the two biggest instances. I mean... This is the nature of federation
