If Lemmy is social media, then Lemmy is my only social media app. I have Mastadon installed but I never use it.
I think it has been a decade since I used Facebook or Twitter and I never tried any of the later generation of networks like Snap or TikTok.
Correct. I think the entire premise that an American would question this idea is an indication that the meme was made by somebody from a country with one of these pins in it.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending this mindset. I am myself an American making this observation with a sense of shame and mild horror.
Call me insensitive, but as someone who experienced 9/11 as an adult, being able to enjoy actual funny jokes that reference the attack is kind of refreshing, especially jokes created by the generation born after it happened.
I have nothing concrete to base this on, but my observation is this:
A 9/11 joke written by someone who lived through it is more likely to be about 9/11
a 9/11 joke written by someone born after it happened is more likely to use 9/11 to punctuate a joke about something else
Either way, I find the latter group funnier.
Agreed.
But also, ive been noticing that that isn’t going so great lately.
I’ve managed to do this for decades without incident or injury to myself or others.
And chocolate. Cincinatti chili is great
Due to the nature of my work I’ve flown hundreds of passenger flights of all sizes and I still find myself in awe.
What a privilege to be able to actually see down from such a range of heights too. Where there is still lots of detail to be found, but you can also get an appreciation of scale. It’s honestly really amazing.
Spot on. This thread got me to rewatch it tonight and I gotta say, it hits even harder this close to the election. Almost painfully plausible.
It’s not a true story, but it is a very high fidelity representation of reality.
Welcome to Costco; I love you.
Too fucking relatable and more every day.
I say this knowing many will reflexively disagree, but Vance is much much more dangerous.
Not as extreme as the case in the OP, but I’m often surprised how “meh” a reaction Don’t Look Up got. Maybe people think it was heavy handed? Too on the nose? I don’t know but most folks seem to think it was at best merely “okay”.
For me, I place it next to Idiocracy as one of the most prescient films about what is in store for us. I think after this last election day, it seems even more prescient. On top of that, it is legitimately funny with really good performances, especially from Jennifer Lawrence.
I was a butt baby and I turned out fine.
My diet is mostly hair, but I suspect that’s unrelated.
I resided in the SunsetStrip neighborhood of Geocities, just to set at ease anyone who was wondering.
I hate to be that guy, but the next link down on my feed is about Israel branding the foreheads of Palestinian prisoners.
So humanity is really no great shakes, but the trees do look beautiful.
This is such a vivid comment section already.
I thought everyone knew you couldn’t fall in love until you had collapsed in lust, or at least stumbled in physical attraction.
