  • Surely I wasn't the only one who tried it immediately after reading the comic?

    I can't do it.

    Not remotely close.

    Comically far from it really.

  • It would seem that how much you hate an arbitrary group based on physical characteristics is more important.

  • "Weak, submissive, pathetic" like the traditional misogynistic view of women? The one that gets applied to men to suggest they are being feminine as an insult?

  • The more I hear about Nauru, the more it feels like a made-up place. Most of the wealth of the nation came from mining bird poo for phosphates.

  • Yikes. That made me think of the "let Jesus fuck you" scene from The Exorcist. So thanks for that horrifying idea.

  • My warlock was a dandy with a fey patron who would buy a new outfit whenever he had a chance to spend money. It was a fun character.

  • The FBI calls in its crack paranormal investigation team. The team consists of four plucky detectives and their dog. The dog is not forensically trained in any useful way, but is more of an emotional support animal for one of the team that struggles with addiction. It also talks to a limited extent.

    The team investigates a haunting; revealing in a twist ending that it was the janitor in a costume all along.

  • This is mine too. It's a cute, fun movie. Yes completely over-the-top stupid, but that's part of the enjoyment. I think a reason I liked it when everyone else seemed to hate it was that I didn't have a Nintendo as a kid, so I wasn't saddled with an expectation of what Mario should be.

  • Autism as a diagnosis is relatively new, but people would have always had traits that would be thought of as nowadays as autistic. As an example, Rube Waddell was a professional baseballer in 1897 who was so fascinated by firetrucks that he would run off the field mid-game to chase them.

  • Mine is similar. A barrister once told me that you should be nervous before an important event like an interview or court appearance. If you aren't, all it means is that you aren't taking it seriously.

  • Do you mean no as in yeah nah, or nah yeah?

  • Making a movie is a team effort and everyone that say otherwise is an asshole

    Sure, but why not in other industries? I assume at some point this became an issue that was resolved by having comprehensive credits, what was the problem it was seeking to solve?

  • I'm not complaining, I'm wondering why no other industry feels it's necessary to do this.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Why is every person involved in a movie listed in the credits?

  • It's only a problem if you have a lazy assessor who just takes the similarly score and runs with it.

    When I was marking essays 10 years ago, I saw Turnitin as a manual review tool. You feed an essay into the program, and it would give a percentage for similarly. It would panic students to see that the program was finding some similarly, but unless it was very high, the score was mostly useless.

    The useful part is where it highlights the passages that it thought were problematic. Almost all the time those highlighted passages were properly attributed sources, so not plagiarism. If you had an excessive amount of cited material, I might give a lower mark because of less original thought, but it's still not plagiarism.

  • But does it taste good?

  • But a subscription? That's more akin to saying we'll send someone to de-tune the car you've had tuned unless you pay us protection money monthly.

  • SovCits are not noble campaigners fighting against injustice. They are idiots deluded enough to think they've found the cheat code to the legal system by spouting the right string of nonsense.
