    What music do you know that is malaise-y (characterized by malaise)

    Jump

  • I've always thought Seasick, yet Still Docked was a lovely, low-key, underrated Morrissey song, full of malaise, yet also with a strange, infectious energy.

    Also, there's a big, iconic song like this (maybe several) by Mazzy Star. Was it... Fade in to You?

  • Last Night our Momo crossed the rainbow bridge. She loved to carry around her toys and chirp.

    Jump

  • Just out of curiosity, did you all name your cats "Momo" after Tibetan dumplings, because "Dumpling" seems like a really cute name for a pet.

  • Wow, some major Jonny Hart vibes there!

  • I know I can filter content. I know I can post and be the change I seek. Yet, it feels like an uphill battle.

    It doesn't look like you mentioned subscriptions, which gets you out of the 'all' / 'filtering' side of things entirely. But just as with Reddit, you'll need to spend time building your personal feed over time and tweaking it.

    The good news is that there's no limit to your subscriptions (unlike Reddit's cap of 50 displayed at any one time), but that you'll need to use the right tools to search the Fediverse to find those communities you want to subscribe to.

    The main tool I typically use seems to have a bug right now (based on the recent software upgrade?) but I suspect will be back up in a few days. You might take a look at this, tho, plus other resources.

    You mean the user that moderates some Star Trek stuff and Out of Context Comics? What's the problem.?

  • People outside the US, how do you feel US expats or exiles would do in your country or region?

    Jump

  • Americans are now considered morons (left and right leaning)

    Why the left-leaning ones? Because we didn't do enough to prevent this catastrophe?

  • the language is bullshiti don’t think it’s worth learning french for almost any reason

    Personally I'm learning French because it's the language of bande dessinée, and in order to enjoy more BD, plus run my sublemmy more effectively, it's an obvious choice.

    Anyway I find French much harder than Spanish, but am slowly getting the hang of it... I think. Gender is complete BS to me, and it seems like there are tonnes of little grammar rules to follow. Is that why you called it bullshit, yourself?

  • What are your favorite old-timey and historical insults and incredulous expressions?

    Jump

  • ...I have never heard another person say those things.

    Haha, I can totally relate to someone making up expressions, then sticking with them. For example, a couple I made up for whatever reason, and still employ with a frequency:

    • Oh, rabbits! (expression of surprise, sometimes used as a mild curse)
    • Well, shut my mouth and spank my bottom! (surprised, Southern-style)
    • Smooch my ruby, red rump! (tauntingly, Bender of Futurama-style)

    .

    EDIT: Oh, and my grandpère used to loudly exclaim "Fiddlesticks!" when he was obviously angry or deeply annoyed. I've never heard that term used ever across old literature, films, etc.

    EDIT2: Back when the TV series Deadwood was running, I remember someone online asking 'why are they swearing using completely modern terms?' and someone else answering 'because if the show used authentic curse words, the characters would all sound like variants of Yosemite Sam.'

    I dunno, speaking as a Naked Gun / Zucker fan, I think I might have enjoyed that! :P

    What do you think you know about nutrition and what is "healthy"?

    Jump

  • Just to sideways add-on: as we know, unhealthy stuff can sometimes be replaced and upgraded with something else. Let's take white rice. It so happens that there are other grains that are more nutritious and fibre-rich than even brown or wild rice. It also steps around the issue or rice naturally containing arsenic, which could be an issue for rice lovers. Substitutes might be things like barley and wheat berries.

    Personally I've found steel-cut oats to be my very favorite rice replacement. Very nutritious, and I even prefer the flavor. They also naturally have a nice, calming quality, not unlike hops, valerian, skullcap, etc.

    How to use? Well, SC oats can seamlessly replace rice 1:1 in soups & stews, no problemo. As a side dish, one will probably want to rinse them after cooking, as it can get a little slimey, a bit like sushi rice.

    Yes, people seem to commonly associate "oats" with breakfast, but steel-cut oats are a different beast than rolled oats. They taste significantly different due to being whole, and less processed. Give it a try if you're daring, and I think you might be pleasantly surprised!

  • Native German speakers: Are Hitler's speeches particularly compelling?

    Jump

  • Unbelievable.It's sort of the anti-Clinton, full of wonkish facts of the time, but like the coming admin, directed towards blame and hate.

    Which too-often snags the common person in to a vague basket of 'yeah, we gotta get those guys!' sentiment.

    Do you think that permabanning is harsh?

  • Haha, it won't of course,but it's a nice gesture. :D

    Thanks for the honest reply!

  • Thanks for the reply, matey.So, assuming I'm getting all that correctly, then you seem like you're prone to spinning-up some dark fun which suits you*, but not necessarily the object of the joke, necessarily.

    TBH, I've struggled with that myself, many-a-time. Argh...

  • I’ve made a joke about someone killing themselves on both lemmy and Reddit.

    How was that funny, if I may ask?

  • Trump wins.

  • If you don't keep up-to-date with what's going on, and don't exercise your vote, then everything around you is pretty much an 'Illuminati scam.'

    Welcome to the easiest way to scam people. XD
