Looking for the perfect 5 year anniversary gift?

  • Aha! Today IS a good day to cook! Start chopping the veggies!

  • “proven science”

    Vaccines are a good example here. Handwashing is another. We've had empirical proof on the latter since the 1850s, but it's STILL super hit or miss whether people will bother :(

    • How important are the actors voices when determining if a movie is bad or good? Could changing the voice of an actor turn a really bad movie into a good one?

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's true. Writing alone isn't enough for a good movie -- I'm really just saying that it's the most important element for me.

    Jump

  • To me, not very important. Quality of writing ranks higher for me.

    I don't think a different voice can fix a bad movie. That being said, I can't think of any actors whose voices I can't stand.

    OTOH, Brotherhood of the Wolf does come to mind here. It's a French movie; I've watched both with subtitles and dubbed. The voice actor for the English dub doesn't quite fit the character.

  • his gun

    Is that a fact? Are you sure? Will you recant if it comes out that the police did, in fact, plant it?

    Nitpick the lawyer's phrasing all you like; it won't actually change any of the facts of the case, whatever they may be. Myself, I'm not going to jump to "why bother having a trial? The police arrested him; he's clearly guilty as sin" based on a Lemmy comment!

  • Almost like the lawyer thinks "they didn't follow procedure" is an easier legal argument than "the police dept is trying to frame my client".

    • Not enough real estate

    Jump

  • Ooh, a self-burn! Those are rare.

    • quick thai red curry with rice

  • Tasteless people, I think

    • doctors

    Jump

  • Isn't it well-known that doctors frequently dismiss health concerns with "have you tried losing weight?"

    • Emma in her favorite toy

    Jump

  • Something about this makes me think of the Flux Catpacitor.

    • Sake fell asleep on my lap, now I can't move.

  • Such floof!

    • Sophia is judging you

    Jump

  • I love her, judging or no

    • HELP! Im looking for a game like CIV 6 where the point is to go to war

    Jump

  • Civ 3 works well with a warmonger style

    • Who needs to retire anyway?

    Jump

  • I was actually thinking of this one (apparently from 2020):

    • Who needs to retire anyway?

    Jump

  • I like the use of Harding and Kerrigan here. Reminds me of the Undertaker meme.

    • If we silenced all the sources of misinformation/disinformation people would be aghast at how quiet it is.

    Jump

  • Sari?

    • do you hate AI generated art? why?

    Jump

  • Your comment made me think of DJs. Not "real" musicians? Seems like a similarly-structuree argument.

    • Did you (like me) take up drinking Earl Grey because it was Picard's beverage?

    Jump

  • Glory to you and your house!

    • Self-Driving Tesla Crashes into Wall Painted to Look Like a Road… Just Months Before Planned Robotaxi Launch

    Jump

  • Ah, gotcha, yeah, that makes sense.

    My own city has pretty good bike lane coverage, but it's similar -- cars have to cross over the bike lane to get into the turn lane.

    Basic decency...gah. Yeah, I wish. :(
