Ænima@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?23·2 months agoVelocipastor! It looks and seems like it’ll be a parody but it was super engaging and fun. Went into it thinking it would be watched between gaming rounds and eventually turned off, but I ended up quitting the game to full-screen that shit!
Ænima@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?11·2 months agoThis movie took me completely by surprise by how good it was. I feel like you could tell everyone involved had experience playing TTRPGs, from the director, to the writer(s), all the way down to the catering crew!
Until the Epstein post, I had the same question. Now, not so much.
Ænima@lemm.eeto Palestine@lemmy.ml•Macklemore endorses the Freedom Flotilla’s ‘Madleen’ on stage, playing a special video that Greta Thunberg recorded from the vessel. Keep all eyes on deck, and all eyes on #Palestine.71·2 months agoHe’s the current generations Rage Against the Machine and someone deserving of such a title!
Same. For the longest time I was made to believe that crying in front of people was weak. Especially, when those tears came from entertainment. Then I watched Schindler’s List and bawled like a fucking baby at the end when…
Tap for spoiler
Schindler starts pointing out all the possessions he still had, which he could have bartered to save more Jews and the overwhelming support from the ones he did save comforting him.
It fundamentally changed who I was and what I was willing to show emotion for, especially empathy. I found that any movie based on actual events, that ended tragically, would illicit a similar response.
It was only after years of therapy and the support of wonderful people in my life that I learned to feel that deeply for any media with resonating characters. Elon said empathy is a human weakness, but he’s never been so wrong. It’s the only thing that binds us together.
Ænima@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•US government threatens to strip Columbia University's accreditation2·2 months agoThey’re not anti-higher education for all, just for liberals and those who are not part of the wealthy class. That’s why they jacked the price up around the 1980s. Too many poors were going to school, competing with rich kids for high paying jobs, and cementing class-consciousness pushing for social change. They can’t have that!
Raising the cost of tuition meant fewer families were able to attend college without financial aid, which has also been set up to be a lasting financial burden for us plebs. Couple that with better employment opportunities being largely reliant on the level of education obtained, and you have a system designed by the rich, for the rich, to ensure they’re the only educated group, able to ascend to the upper echelons of power.
Also, they want smart people with college degrees (and sociopathic tendencies) to work for them and come up with new ways to manipulate/kill people! It’s why so many Nazis were incorporated into US projects after WWII, rather than being hanged for the crimes they helped facilitate against humanity.
Edit: I forgot to include the racism part of the price hike, specifically aimed to prevent class mobility for people of color. Racism is just the worst!
I had my first fuck up with openSUSE+Gnome a couple of weeks ago when impatient me killed my laptop in the middle of like 1600-updates. BRTFS was the only reason I didn’t rip my hair out and the primary reason I will be switching my daily driver gaming rig to Linux, finally! That FS is the tits!

Ænima@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•Ukraine deliberately blindsided Trump before massive drone attack on RussiaEnglish3·2 months agoHopefully, we don’t hear about some intelligence agent with a new book coming out in the future regarding how tRump was a known asset for the Kremlin and how he was caught red-handed giving info to Putin in some false-flag operation.
Thank you for the information! I just made a new account on feddit.online and will try out Thunder. What other instances work well with Voyager, if you know?

I just hadn’t seen that comment, yet. Thank you for providing a link!
Ænima@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•The ‘Man-Eater’ Screwworm Is Coming | After a decades-long campaign to beat the parasites down to Panama, they’re speeding back up north. - The AtlanticEnglish3·2 months agoThere is already one or you’re expecting one soon?
I really like Voyager for Android Lemmy browsing. I’ve heard others echo the app reference. I was unaware that the apps play a part in the features offered to Lemmy users, in regards to the instances someone uses. If I moved to an instance of piefed, will I still be able to use Voyager? If so, what piefed features may I miss out on?
Apologies if the answers to these questions exceed the info you were providing.
Ænima@lemm.eeto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•Do you donate to Wikipedia?English2·2 months agoHey! Fuck yeah, Octoprint! I’m a Patreon supporter and love the development. That shit about plugin manipulation was the catalyst to my contribution and highly recommend that platform for all new 3D printing enthusiasts!
Ænima@lemm.eeto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•The lemm.ee instance will shut down at the end of the month, where should the community move ?English2·2 months agoThere are a couple Lemmy meta posts with discussions on available options with similar modding styles to lemm.ee. Some of the more recommended I’ve seen is piefed, lemmy.zip, and dbzer0.

I was in Iraq, stationed at Balad AB in 2006. We heard ALARM RED multiple times a day from rocket and mortar attacks. I wasn’t afraid then. I won’t give in to fear now. The clowns in this regime are a joke.
That is the level of fucks I have to give for these fascists and their bullshit. Take care of yourselves the best you can, as you see fit. But I won’t let their bully tactics do anything but show how pathetic and small they are!
