I’m fascinated by this line of thinking. Are there good shows that’s are also symptoms of capitalism? Is it all parodies? How does one distinguish a show from “capitalism” from one that’s not?

I suppose from one perspective you do have a point––someone never could have published a satire in the Soviet Union.

Oh man, I should have scrolled down further before posting. Same here, I genuinely believe that movie was before its time. It would fit right in these days with “Barbie” and “Everything Everywhere All At Once”.

This has always been easy for me because my favorite movie is "Speed Racer" which has like a 40% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Looks like it requires some basic OCR and pretty beefy image analysis(assuming the right side is presented as an image). Well within the bounds of modern computing, but expensive enough that you’d be hard pressed to generate thousands of spam accounts. Captchas are less about completely preventing computers from signing up and more about making it inconvenient and expensive enough that most people won’t bother.

Credibledefense was the original,“credible” was meant to emphasize that they expected well sourced comments and posts. Then people wanted a space for shit posting so they made a partner sub named non-credible defense.

Noncredibledefense is neoliberal military themed shitposting, credibledefense is a subreddit for defense hobbyists. The former is hit or miss, mostly based on your politics, I do try my best to keep the latter pretty focused on the facts.

It is very important to understand that the most apocalyptic visions of a climate change future are unlikely. Credible prognoses of the future predict that the world will suffer, and development will slow, but overall humanity will survive and even continue to grow.

I say this not to deny the effects of climate change, but because I sincerely believe that people use apocalyptic predictions to justify slacktivism. By deciding that the world is doomed, and they will go extinct regardless of what they do, people absolve themselves of their responsibility to agitate (including violently) for change. The world is genuinely unrecognizable compared to even 10 years ago, let alone 50. People are far more resilient than the worst predictions give them credit for, and even marginal victories will have real consequences for the future that we will live to see.

!ukraine@sopuli.xyz is the most active. I’ve been trying to get !credibledefense@sh.itjust.works off the ground, but there’s a pretty critical shortage of contributors. Would love if you stopped by!

Tracked subs whos status has changed(quarantined, banned, etc.)

That is so, so cool.

Both Russians and Ukrainians have used artillery for demining purposes. It’s effectiveness is a matter of fierce debate. Cluster munitions would likely be at least somewhat better for this purpose then unitary warheads would be.

For me, it’s the Asuka version.

.ml stands for Marxist/Leninist apparently. Communists try not to let idealism get in the way of practicality challenge(impossible)

To be fair this is a pretty crazy black swan event they couldn’t have possibly seen coming. But yeah, this is why novelty domain suffixes are novelties.

Like I said to the other person, don’t hesitate to use it just because someone else has done it first. As the quote goes: “Good writers borrow, great writers steal”.

Incredibly accurate. It’s nuts how they all could be one person.

Oh man this gives me an idea for a great meme. Imagine place, Japan, but instead it’s “place, r/place”.

The canon keeps it pretty ambiguous whether or not he’s actually alive IIRC. Several of the alien races refer to him as a “corpse emperor”, and obviously human sources in-world are unreliable. Either way, since he hasn’t actually been seen for 10,000 years, the effect is the same as OP describes.

Don’t be discouraged! As a player, the only thing better than an entirely new fantasy concept is one that I’m familiar enough with to recognize and role play my spin on it! I’m sure your players will enjoy spotting the similarities and a appreciate whatever you do.

Warhammer 40K does a really good job of this exact trope, actually. If you’re interested, check it out!

If you are thinking of doing this, I am begging you to stop and spend that time contributing to lemmy instead. 10,000 users will be a drop in the bucket for r/place, but 10,000 extra comments or posts could be the difference between the whole site surviving or not.
