Haha yeah that’s where my head went too

Maybe it did happen, but admiral Patrick did nothing to convince us and given the whole issue surrounds him secretly doing shit, I’m less inclined to believe it.

themselves immortal

lulz

Ah, makes sense why this way of speaking feels so gross to me

Tagged you as “ai simp” a while ago. Seems like you’re full of shitty takes. Also… “Than go…” lol

Why do people so often assume total pricks are telling the truth? I doubt anyone here is cheering on death threats/doxxing. I find it hard to believe they actually happened. He provided zero evidence of it.

What I find so weird about his list is how random it was. To hear him tell it you cannot be on the list without being super toxic and calling for violence but I don’t believe that. You just had to disagree with him afaik

There’s no wanting to do the right thing here. This is one person’s ego driving them to think they knew better than everyone else, and that kind of thinking should not be not be given any grace.

I can’t say I agree. He did think he knew what was good for everyone but I think it truly was “right” in his mind. It’s a bizarre and dishonest thing to do, but I think he thought it was justified. He probably won’t self reflect but leaving here will make it more likely.

Yeah that’s my take on it. It was a very weird thing to do on many levels. Especially doing it with the secret API call. The guy didn’t understand the fediverse and wanted to mold it arbitrarily. Even if he had gone about it non-secretly it was very doomed to failure for a lot of reasons, but doing it secretly was making sure it would fail even harder. The whole idea of this platform is that you can block any number of instances/people/communities but trying to secretly do that on other people’s behalf was never going to end well.

Having said all that, there is quite a bit of toxicity here that goes unchecked. But his idiotic way of dealing with it was never the right move.

Hah I do have a backlog for sure. I probably would’ve bought something this go round but I was out of town for most of that sale

Gotcha. Thank you.

Ah, that definitely makes sense. Thanks!

Does never watch/listen to count?

those who saw it were highly discouraged from contributing to wine.

Can you expand on that a little?

You got a cackle out of me. Thank you for that lol

I just didn’t like it. I did a tutorial years ago and it all felt unnatural and hard to read/write.

Yeah it’s true there’s plenty of good movies still being made, but I think it’s harder to know about those movies. Via film festival is about the only way I have of discovering them currently. I liked when Hollywood made some weird and low budget movies but that’s not much of a thing anymore.

What the fuck is a Ghost Rider?

A comic book property that they’ve already beat to death. I think they already made 2-3 movies based on that character. Then again the only sense in which I care about movies like that is that I find it extremely annoying that movie money now is almost all spent on comic book movies, reboots, and remakes, sometimes a combination of the three. God forbid they take a fraction of a chance on original material.

Bash syntax sucks but imo rust syntax is 50 times worse. Interesting idea though.

On Lemmy, topics you expect to be discussed for a couple of days are trending for several days minimum. I’m not sure why that is, but it seems pretty consistent.
