George Jetson was able to support his whole family off his single job working one hour a day, two days a week and his job was to just push a button.

The people in the past were Incredibly optimistic about the future.

I thought it said “his shole had teeth” and it took me awhile to both notice the B and to really be it was for censorship.

This and the Nike ad have been the worst ads during the Olympics.

I don’t think you’d have prostitution in a currencyless society. They wouldn’t be prostitutes at that point.

They’re protesting by threatening to do what they are already doing.

That is definitely way too invasive. Plugging something on to a Roku TV shouldn’t enable them to show you ads through that other device.

I was actually thinking about getting a Roku once too. Really dodged a bullet.

I’ve never understood why people get so upset when he does this. I like it when someone points out the actual physics behind something that you see in films and what was done right and wrong.

Learning that something in a movie isn’t scientifically accurate doesn’t ruin the movie for me. I already figured it wouldn’t be entirely correct and it doesn’t have to be correct (unless it’s supposed to be educational).

That’s their term for money. They believe money stopped being money and turned into coupons when we dropped the gold standard. Due to this, they believe they can just send out an IOU and have it treated like valid currency.

It’s appropriate since they believe that words are magic and as long as they say the right words, the “spell” will be cast and they will become immune to laws.

Now I’m curious how that would taste.

They’re convinced that legalese is a magical language and if they say the right words in the right way, they’ll become immune to the law.

They remind me of Cargo Cults.

I’ll sometimes tag Lemmy communities in my mastodon posts. The only thing I dislike about it is how Lemmy displays tags in the post title. There’s got to be some way to fix it so it’s not so off-putting.

Another use I haven’t seen mentioned is that it’s good when you only have a single monitor. You can easily use shortcut keys to flip between the desktops. I could have my remote connection to another computer in one desktop and my local stuff in another and easily switch between the two.

All of these American examples are missing a key part of the Isekai genre which is power fantasy. 99% of Isekai involves the MC being an overpowered self-insert character that has a harem of sex slaves.

I consider Isekai and other world to be different aspects of the same basic concept.

I’m dying laughing at the image in my head about your scenario.

Gay Waiter: And what do you want?

You: I want some pasta fag.

You’ll really like the Mr Invincible comics.

Example

Do you have to take your posts with you? I’ve seen people mention this before but I don’t understand why that’s such a big deal. I do agree about the communities though and feel that there needs to be an easy way to export your subscriptions so they can be imported on another account.

Honestly, I feel like self-hosting a single user instance is the ideal way to use the Fediverse. It gives you full control over what you see. However, that would require self hosting to become so simple anyone can do it.

Reading all these comments it’s clear that a lot of people have unrealistic ideas regarding what Lemmy and the Fediverse are supposed to be (or maybe it’s me with weird ideas).

The Fediverse is just a bunch of apps that can all communicate with each other through a shared protocol. There is no requirement for them to be free speech platforms or host everything. The whole purpose of defederation supports the idea that instances are free to associate or disassociate with whichever instances they want. Furthermore, nearly every guide I read on joining Lemmy state that you should choose instances to join based on shared ideals/beliefs.

For everyone saying “I’m leaving lemmy.world” I say “Good. That’s what you’re supposed to do.” When the instance you join no longer aligns with what you want, you go to another instance and then you’ll be back to viewing all the communities you want to see. That is what the Fediverse is all about and how it’s designed.

So they’re finally realizing that staunch support of politicians with unchristian behavior leads to unchristian behavior in their constituency.
