  • We are asking the tough questions today. I'm proud of us and I think we should take the rest of the day off.

  • LMAO have an upvote. Happy Friday!

  • I've threatened more than once that I was going to quit and take up potato farming. Potatoes are good. 👍

  • Ah, far out. Thank you for the info. Maybe I'll load up an IRC client and check them out!

  • I came here to say Cannibal Holocaust. That movie fucking traumatized me.

    Some honorable mentions: Under the Skin 2013 The Witch 2015 The Neon Demon 2016

  • I can't remember exactly when I stopped installing mIRC when I built a new PC, but it's been a while. Is DALnet still around?

  • Mmm what?

    WireGuardÂź is an extremely simple yet fast and modern VPN that utilizes state-of-the-art cryptography. It aims to be faster, simpler, leaner, and more useful than IPsec, while avoiding the massive headache. It intends...

  • Doesn't seem to have impacted Wireguard.

  • Thank you! I see the problems with Eternals and Wakanda Forever, maybe even Quantumania, but we thought Love and Thunder was great.

  • In general I think lack of empathy is the main problem, though I think even well-meaning people can make others feel guilty about having normal negative emotions, e.g. "You'll get through it". IMO the worst may be the one-uppers, the guy who says "That's nothing. I knew this other guy who had cancer of the kitten."

    Thinking about it, I generally only share really upsetting news with friends and almost never online.

  • I find the question as phrased is ambiguous. Are you asking if there are people using Lemmy to express positive emotion in general or to express positivity about Lemmy?

    I can comment generally that I do feel like positivity is often in short supply in social media spaces, and when one does encounter it, it may be of the toxic variety.

  • I can remember around 1999-2000 if you clicked the wrong thing in IE you'd get 50 popup windows with ads for porn. At least that's behind us.

  • Thank you, Doctor.

  • My sympathies. Earlier this week I made dinner with an Impossible Meat brick that was a single day past the labelled expiration. I had some unexpected GI issues that I've attributed to that and I really felt terrible after, like I'd strained my pooper or something. Been farting like a cow ever since. I keep apologizing to my wife. Fuck knows why or how she puts up with me.

  • I don't like it when I encounter them in the source material, like the council scene in Fellowship "One does not simply ______". It creates a sort of dissonance that takes me out of what I'm watching. They're sort of like malware for the brain from that perspective.

  • Don't stop I'm almost there. 😆

  • Ah very nice ty ty. I will fix.

  • Lot of commenters in the original post. Guess I was lazy. Also half of them probably blocked me.

    It'd be slick if editing a post notified commenters on that post, though I suppose it could be abused.
