Hot is typically subjective, since it tends to be used for sexual attraction.

So, you’d have to answer that for yourself.

That being said, it comes down to symmetric features in a pleasing ratio to each other, plus a proportional body. She fits the typical standards of beauty that are universal, and not reliant on fluctuating specifics (like when there’s a social shift towards something like big boobs vs average or small).

Since she’s also what you would call well put together, her features get maximum enhancement via clothing, makeup, lighting, etc.

No such thing as a sub lemmy.

They’re communities.

Well, why the hell would I drag my ass to a theater to see a retread of a movie made by the same studio, when the studio already has a bad track record with remakes?

Like maybe beauty and the beast was a solid enough standalone movie to merit a theater trip. Maybe. But even that wasn’t necessary, it was still just a retread made to keep their finger in the pie. It didn’t offer anything more than the original, unless you’re a hard core Watson fan.

The rest? Tepid at best.

Why would anyone think that this movie, with trailers that already show the cgi brings nothing interesting to the table, spend money on it?

Gary stu is a new term for me lol. Didn’t know this version of the whole mary sue trope merited its own term.

But, I’m not actually seeing what you’re asking about. Do you have any female examples?

The closest I’ve seen is someone like Moon Girl or Ironheart in Marvel. But it’s my opinion that the hate they get isn’t because they’re really good at solving problems. They also aren’t really a fulfillment of what you’re describing because they aren’t portrayed as being good at everything. But they’re the closest I can think off offhand.

But I’ll echo other comments. Batman often succeeds by failing first and then figuring out how to counter what caused him to fail. That’s the basic version of modern Batman. Give him prep time, and he’s god tier; surprise him, and you might get away with whatever it is if it’s a one time thing.

Word. No right or wrong :)

Just don’t know that you’ll find lemmy in general that subject focused. There’s some communities that stay pretty tight, but it tends more towards mini chats rather than more structured comment chains.

Jesus, Nothing Else Matters, Metallica.

The song is indelibly linked to one of the best friends I ever had.

Me and him, arm in arm at a concert we had to drive hours to see. My first real concert, and the biggest one he’d been to.

So that song, every time I hear it, it takes me back to those two sweaty, goofy boys singing horribly along, and him leaning into my ear and saying “this is what it’s all about, brother, friendship, and nothing else matters.” And that opens up the doors to every other memory of him. All the silliness, all the tears, all the laughter and mutual support. And definitely the memory of him dying, and the funeral and all the chaos of that.

But it’s the happiness that wins out, every time. Images, thirty years old at this point, of him telling jokes and reading poetry and just being a fucking amazing guy. His rosy cheeks when we’d be fucking around in the southern heat, or headbanging, or lifting weights. He was such a rosy cheeked guy lol.

And all it takes is hearing the intro to that song for those memories to pour out.

What’s cool is that when I run across old pictures of him, or someone brings him up, the song plays in my head.

Gods, we were so fucking young lol.

Being real, part of what’s been great about lemmy is connection with people, instead of empty bullshit jokes and snark and the usual smugness that comes from not knowing the people.

There’s a been dozens of times I’ve seen people here see someone acting unusual, and reaching out to see what’s going on, offering sympathy and ending with mutual respect instead of slap fights.

Fuck the way reddit worked. It didn’t work, but everyone thought it was the only way to have threaded forums, that you had to accept everyone being anonymous dicks as the price of discourse and content.

But it isn’t, it really isn’t the only way. And lemmy, for all its faults, still has that sense of actual community where you can go to a new C/ and run across lemmy friends. Some of them may even turn into friends in other ways.

The old squid was indeed everywhere, and he made plenty of mistakes along the way, but damned if he didn’t do his part to make lemmy feel like a place for people first, even when the way he went about that was one of his mistakes.

I don’t want to float through the kind of cesspits reddit could have, feeding back into toxicity via anonymity and disconnection.

But do they give wah?

Kreeeb people, kreeeb people, kreeeb people

craab people, craaab people, craaab people

So, disclaimer. Not a doctor, a microbiologist, a virologist, or anything with actual first hand knowledge. So, keep a salt shaker handy to take this with.

Since worm boy has started running his mouth, I’ve been casually reading about measles. Just enough that when some idiot echoes him that I can feel comfortable telling them to STFU and GTFO and not wasting my time trying to argue with them. So that’s kind of a second disclaimer, I guess, that I haven’t read every single line of every single publication out there.

That being said, nah. There have been patients with measles that also had preexisting allergies, and it didn’t get rid of them. At best, they were suppressed a little during the illness.

So far, attempts along those lines on purpose haven’t worked to an extent that it’s worth it. There was some testing done with other means of destroying the relevant immune cells, and the most effect was a temporary reduction in severity of allergic response. They eventually came back in full.

So, assuming you want to cite a rando on the internet, if anyone starts spewing that tripe as a benefit, you can confidently tell them that I said to STFU and GTFO.

Aight, the answer isn’t exactly simple. It really depends on how detailed you get, vs how willing the given company is to risk resources on an unlikely to win case.

Straight up, there’s something referred to as a campfire principle. Anything mythological is going to fall under it, and the idea is that they were created so long ago, and shared mutually by so many people that copyright can’t exist.

However, the more specific you get in the depiction, the more likely you would be to be able to enforce a copyright. The big example I’ve heard/seen thrown around is Hercules.

Hercules has existed for thousands of years as an idea. The myths are definitely under public domain. So, you’d be damn hard pressed to try and claim a different company/artist violated your copyright just because you also included him in your works.

The only time you’d be able to in print is if you used the name instead of the idea. I could write a book with a guy that happens to be named Hercules, and someone using that character in an identifiable way would probably lose a copyright suit against them.

However, if your story is substantially based on mythology, as in your character is Hercules from mythology, you’d be incredibly unlikely to win if someone else only used a vague description that’s similar. They’d have to take the description word for word to make it a realistic suit.

But, you’re asking about images as much as characters. Those specific images are copyrighted. If you make a cartoon with a Hercules that looks significantly like the one grin the Disney movie, expect the mouse’s cock up your ass, and the courts to side with them. Try printing it on hats, same thing. That goes for comics as well. Once you take things that make the images of a character distinct and reuse them, a lawsuit has standing enough that it’s a bad idea to get too close to the depiction from a big company.

But it does depend on how close you get. If I just make a muscular dude with curly hair and a club, Marvel is going to have a hard time claiming I messed with their version of the character, especially since they change his depiction so much from artist to artist.

So, the Orange Hades from DC might be distinct enough if the costume and other details are also part of their claim. But not solely on him being orange. What it would probably do is make sure nobody else in comics tried to use an orange hades in their publication, mostly to avoid the mess.

The video game, it would be similar. The closer you got to the exact depiction as it shows up on screen, the more likely they would be to win the lawsuit. And, it does matter what the format is, like with the comics. If I draw a comic and my greek gods have black skin, and that’s all I copy, the lawyers might get rich, but good luck to them winning the suit. But if I make a video game and do the same thing, you’re getting up to the edge again, where the similarity of the medium makes it an easier thing to make a good argument it’s substantially derived from the original. But it wouldn’t be a slam dunk.

The reason I’ve looked into this is that I published three books that make heavy use of mythology, and use the same ideas as part of my home brew ttrpg setting and system. So not only did I not want to get sued into oblivion for my Thor actually being inspired by the comic versions of him, but I also didn’t want that to mean anyone could just shit all over the settings and claim it was public domain. So I asked my agent about all this. Back when I had an agent lol. Not only was I covered from comic companies coming at me, I would have some limited protection over terminology and other details of my works, as they applied to mythological entities.

I was advised that if I ever fully described a character that exists in popular media as well as my own works, that I avoid anything distinctive, like the way mjolnir looks or the discs on Thor’s armor in Marvel comics. But mjolnir would still be fine since it exists in mythology already.

In specific for this, yes. But also in general

Yeah, if they hadn’t broken all of the apps, I would have too. I was using sync as a backup anyway, and was thinking about just switching.

It’s one of those things that worked better on reddit because they didn’t make huge changes often. So a developer could just update infrequently and it not matter. Slide, my favorite reddit app, hadn’t had an update in years when spez fucked things, and it was functional enough if you didn’t try to mod on it.

Lemmy though, you kinda need to at least try and do two updates a year to keep up with things.

So far, sync is still fine for casual scrolling and talking, so it isn’t huge that it’s behind, but it eventually will be.

Is using a fork of something really an actual solution? It’s still enabling the dominance of the original corporation.

I dunno, maybe it is, but it sure doesn’t seem like it to me

WHAT?!

If the lack of sensation was from lack of blood flow, it would mean tissues were dead, and you’d essentially be fucked. You would already be seeing other symptoms, and they aren’t pleasant. The amount of sensation loss from restricted blood flow returns quickly, or not at all.

What you’re dealing with is most likely from nerve compression. Two days is enough to see a doctor and verify that there’s nothing major going on, but typically you’re looking at a gradual return of sensation over days to weeks. Thing is, if it isn’t returning as it should, delaying treatment is a pretty bad idea. There’s limits to treatment to begin with, but sooner is better than later, you dig?

It’s a thing. In bed bound patients, it’s common enough that I’ve seen it dozens of times. They get a leg stuck through bed rails, and a nerve gets compressed, and then they’re all pins and needles, or without sensation for a while. In facilities, it’s on the staff when they’re in that position long, but in home health, you’ll show up and the patient may not have had anyone with them overnight, and that’s when our can take time to resolve.

But when it’s blood that’s restricted, it isn’t just sensation that’s an issue. You get discoloration as well. If that color doesn’t start returning to normal relatively quickly as soon as the pressure is gone, you’ve got trouble. People can and do lose limbs that way. It can actually kill you if left in place; dying body parts are not good for the rest of you. But

You didn’t mention anything about the skin being blue, or worse colors, so it’s unlikely that blood restriction is what caused the issue.

Nah, I ain’t mad.

It helps visibility, and tends to help build awareness of related communities.

Lemmy ain’t gotta be simple, and the fediverse really can’t be. There’s a degree of adaptation to the quirks of federation that takes a while to happen, and that’s one of the quirks. Someone crossposts, you’re going to see repeats. After a while, you get used to that and mentally filter it out. No big deal

Maybe? My family is from the southern Appalachians, but we’ve spread all over.

One ancestor married and had kids with a polish lady, and moved to Pennsylvania. So, that branch tended to marry with other polish descended people more often than not. Their accent is different from people I’ve known from Pennsylvania, which includes some of my wife’s family.

So I tend to believe that the polish american accent does exist. Thing is, I don’t know enough about Chicago’s history to even start to pick away at their accents and how they came about. But I would still say that if there’s been a significant Polish population there, it’s almost certain that there is one
