  • I talk to other Americans and they're just like "Oh, well, both sides, you know?"

    I guess it depends on the people you are talking to. The Americans I've met all seemed kinda sad at what US is going through.

  • JUST LIKE EMAIL YOU NITWIT!

    We have very different perceptions of how people approach emails.

    Guess how tech illiterates(?) approach email? They sign up on Gmail - perhaps with some handholding - and that's it. That's all they know or care about.

    And before you say they don't deserve to be on the internet: they are all using Facebook, Youtube, Whatsapp, etc. Unless platforms like Lemmy actually treat new users better, there's not much incentive for people to switch.

  • We don't want to send everyone to the same instance otherwise it'll end up becoming dominant (see Lemmy World)

    Based on what I've learnt in network science, I've got bad news for you: real-world networks tend to follow power-law distributions.

    Lemmy, being a social network, is unlikely to be an exception. Some instances are going to become hubs and the rest would be peripheral.

  • unique interest or theme will determine the type and feel of content in your local feed

    Then selection of interests and themes should be included in the onboarding process, instead of the mumbo-jumbo about choosing instances.

  • I'm not sure what you are getting at.

  • Then saying that you have looked through and reviewed the code would be lying. And that is unprofessional.

  • That's a good one.

    Saw it coming a mile away (i.e. from the start thanks to the protocol that says to protect the pilot), but it was such a good execution.

  • Personally, I felt more sad over Dobby's death.

  • Bambi's mother.

    Runner-ups:

    • Carl's wife from Up
    • The mother in Violet Evergarden
    • Ghost and Roach from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
  • A submersible with dead billionaires.

  • Singapore

    61% of the votes, but 89% of the seats in parliament

  • I liked it so much I read the novels and spinoff.

    Same. In my case, it got me to read my first light novel.

  • I think OPM is better, but that's because I'm bald.

    Based.

  • anime

    The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You - One of the zaniest, wackiest anime in recent history to turn your brain off to. (genre: comedy, romance)

    86 - Too good for me to put into words. Just watch it. (genre: action, drama)


    TV shows

    Silicon Valley (HBO series) - As someone pointed out: it's not a satire; it's a documentary - for programmers at least. (genre: comedy)

    The Night Manager - The showmakers made it look like either side could win till the very last few minutes, keeping me on the edge of my seat for the entire show. (genre: thriller)

  • OpenAI CloseAI

  • Yeah, I get you.

    In my case, I just pointed out (politely, I hope) that they were the one who called me, and not the other way round.

    And thankfully, they left it at that.

  • Help why is my password showing up as asterisks?
