  • Pop Culture’s New Syllabus: Pleasure, Power, and Sabrina Carpenter

    Jump

  • I am unaware of a way to turn human remains into plastic. You can make hair into something like plastic though, by using lye to break it down. We would have to find some other environmentally responsible thing to do with the meat and bone bag part of the capitalist remains.

  • What's your drink of choice?

  • Flavored sparkling waters. My kingdom for a La Croix.

  • By all appearances, she is in control of her narrative. She can do as she likes.

    The system that profits off of women expressing anything sexual is where any judgement should be cast.

  • Faithfulness to the accuracy of "chicken", however, did change with time.

  • What brought you to Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I read about the Fediverse years ago and opened a couple accounts across a couple platforms. As I expected at the time, too low volume of people to really keep me engaged.

    I stayed on reddit until same as everyone else here; they killed 3rd party apps and mod tools. I was a mod on a small, friendly little niche hobby sub. It started getting overrun by bots and MAGA types who wanted to make every post about guns and women staying home to serve their husbands. Good members started leaving the sub and I turned from having fun to loathing it very quickly. I created some fresh Fediverse accounts and made the move for real.

  • Lodged in a place a penny should never be.

  • Story Graph?

    Jump

  • Yes, I moved a couple years ago as one small step to remove Amazon in my life.

    I know there are other alternatives, but StoryGraph met my needs and I never looked further.

    Upon switching, they have import tools to help transfer your GoodReads read history and your TBR list into StoryGraph.

    Once there, they have recommendations and giveaways, and challenges, similar to GoodReads. I'm by no means a power user but have not found any features missing from StoryGraph that I care about.

  • Imma need that on a Valentine's Day card to send to my sister. Matches her feelings about the holiday pretty well.

  • What is your opinion on Libertarianism?

    Jump

  • Anyone I've ever heard talking about the non-aggression principle spat red flags faster than a machine gun.

    At best, they're truly so dense and unsympathetic they don't recognize actions that aren't directly or intentionally causing harm do still cause harm (example, the free state project people leaving food out for black bears "because they can" without thought for their neighbors who then have to deal with more bears). At worst, it's rape apologia (crap like statutory rape doesn't exist because that minor "totally asked for it" and the rape didn't cause physical damage).

  • What is your opinion on Libertarianism?

    Jump

  • What a fun read, ty. I went to the Talk page hoping for some back and forth about ensuring the description of the project was unbiased. Nope, nada, surpised there aren't any free state project fans within the ranks of Wikipedia editing volunteers who would have something to say.

  • Quentin Tarantino trashes 'weak sauce' There Will Be Blood star: 'The weakest male actor in SAG' (Paul Dano)

    Jump

  • Breaking news: Tarantino still an unpleasant, unhappy human being.

    For someone who so obviously gets the big truck = little dick trope in his movies, he sure is incapable of introspecting and realizing he's doing the same thing.

  • Weekly thread - What movies have you watched this week? 03/12/2025

    Jump

  • White Zombie. It was fun seeing the low-budget combined with filming, acting, and dialogue that still hailed back to the silent film era. And for how racist it could have been in 1932, it really wasn't. Misogynist? Yes.

  • Simplest Path to Jellyfin Access for the Developmentally Disabled

    Jump

  • Ah, thanks for the explanation.

    I would guess the next set of features "missing" from the Roku app have similar reason then. 1) I use a plugin to search and download subtitles from the browser interface; it would be great to be able to do that from the Roku app too and 2) once subtitles are available, easily adjusting the offset.

  • Anyone have a recent covid sickness that wrecked their voice ?

    Jump

  • Yes, laryngitis is a known possible effect of Covid. If it doesn't seem to be coming back after two weeks, I would suggest a doctor if you can, maybe even an ENT specialist specifically.

    Stay hydrated, eat well, go easy on your voice, cough drops, etc. Beyond that generic advice, especially if you're a singer, don't fuck around with dumb advice from Internet strangers. I saw someone during the depths of Covid recommend shots of olive oil to "lube" the vocal chords; replies were from people who did it and gave themselves the shits.

    Jump

  • The feature from web browser I use most that is missing from the Roku app is the option to increase playback speed.

    If you're really a/the Roku app dev, cheers. I recognize it's a passion project for a lot of those involved and I am grateful.

  • Do you think you’d be able to identify a given Gatorade’s color just by taste?

    Jump

  • Certain ones, sure. The cucumber lime one is pretty distinctive, for example.

  • Why does it feel like there is currently less new games, songs, YouTube videos, valuable articles and creations in general?

    Jump

  • I think companies have gotten more aggressive with theirs algorithms shoveling people towards content that gets companies the most money.

    I try hard to block out right-wing crap (U.S.) on YouTube. I'm talking blocking channels liberally and going into my history to delete a watch if I find a video is spreading misinformation. I still get so much of it recommended. And anecdotally, it's gotten worse this year. Not sure if there's hard data available out there to prove it but I agree with you, OP, it sure feels like it.

    Spotify is obvious. They dumped a ton of money into Rogan so push his podcast shamelessly to ensure maximum return on their investment, despite Rogan being a piece of shit.
