Sorry about the ugly comment you are receiving. Seems people on lemmy love to enforce the godwin’s law.

My opinion: be careful, all the anti immigration rhetoric is just ineffective gesticulation (like with the wall). A lot of nothing to please the racist population… and scare the illegal workers so they accept slave wage, thus enriching the owners of hotels, farms, restaurants… etc.

The prison wont gain much , or at least not as much as some traditional business

If none of your family /friend are on facebook, you wont use it. If you cant find like minded people on Lemmy, you wont use it.

Less people mean on average you have less chance to have your friend/family there, or like minded people or ‘quality’ people. Just on average.

We can argue that some platform get all the good people, but I think that is mostly a false belief

If an instance become laggy as soon as people start culminating there… it will make lemmy always unable to allow influx of many people. I mean all people wont change instance all the time. I know I wont

Any social platform, from fb, to reddit and youtube worth only as much as the number of people using it. Less people = less creative mind = less potential friend = less incentive to come use the same platform = less public for creative mind. So social media can only work as a monopoly or quasi. Or it is of no one interest to come on it, if all your friend/favorite creator, are on the other platform.

Ergo, you have to do some proselytism so everyone join the platform you’re using. That being said: did you create your account on bluesky?

probably back to Digg, as god intended. Lemmy is way too laggy to sustain any meaningful users number

peanuts!

It’s delicious

It’s a vegetable

it has 10g of fiber / 100g

it has less salt than bread but you taste all of it since it is on the surface instead of inside

decent protein content

Some women in Swiss were only allowed to vote in 1984.

Cleopatra is closer to us than she was from the great pyramid construction.

I watched it at release time. And the scene where Kevin Kostner run through his boat activating various sail and gadget to escape the bad guy is still engraved in my memory as the most badass thing ever. Was obsessed about the revelation of him having gills too.

All that because it was heavily inspired of one of my favorite Sci-fi series: The Pandora Sequence by F. Herbert (where the 2 last book are on a water planet, where human evolved for this world)

NB: the second book in the series was the source material for a more successful movie “Avatar” by Cameron. In the “Jesus incident” the planet is hostile to human, and there is a magical plant controlling it named “avata”… just to name a few similarity … they are endless

For the few people who didn’t already watch it, and the best movie of all time :

Mad Max: Fury road (2015 ) by Miller .

This is what film story telling is about: having an entire weird universe told through visual medium. The 1st half hour has mad max gagged and incapable of talking, and it is amazing. Preferably on big screen.

A gem from the past:

Taboo(1999), by Nagisa Ôshima,

a samurai movie with hint of homosexuality. and an ending that can only be understood by paying close attention to the sound off screen.

A classic:

Seven samurai(1954), Kurosawa.

Just enjoy the black and white shot , and immerse in old Japanese culture

Hum I doubt even the majority of mod are “anti marxist” or “pro zionist”… may be you’re looking at the more active communities, with few mod over them… But for what I read I never had that impression

The problem with chronological forum, is that it was a used tactic to post massively new topics to “hide” some controversial topic on the “second page”. Not to say that voting doesn’t have its own problem.

So you think if something is bad enough it is ok to discriminate again. Meaning you place the bar of disparaging some contend at around average value , so not at high elite value.

That can hold. It still depend on your value judgement of the content in question. Someone could think that lemmy.ml contend is “unfunny garbage”.

The point of a site like this one, is that not one person is the decider. Not you or me. Users vote what is or is not funny, so that the “avergagely” funny systematically go on top. The more people they are, the more the average will mirror the real world population… I think considering the average population to not be “worthy” is pretty elitist. There are a lot of problem in such a site: Hive mind, trolling, mass vote, bot usage… But discriminating against normal human user (even the worse one) doesn’t seems to me like a solution

this is a very elitist approach camarad

Microwave, I never had one, because, I never wanted to eat ultra-processed microwaved food.

But now , I use it all the time:

1. to reheat my tea
2. cook my vegetable (since I learn they retain more element being microwaved than cook)
3. I can stock on pure frozen product, tuna , salmon, raspberry… and eat them when I want without being afraid of spoilage.

So now all my meal are more healthy just because of microwave, which seems counterintuitive, but is true.

It just me, I dont like long serie (except thoses will self contained episode) Even something I liked, the 3 body problem, had 2 full episode (close to the end) of filler in 1 season. And they already got past the 1st book in that season, so they have room to 1 or 2 more season at best.

5 season?.. no way I can invest in that, but cool for those who can enjoy this kind of show
