Your questions are reasonable, I’m just saying what it looks like.

A conch shell on a rope (maybe a ludicrous necklace?)

I thought memes were supposed to be funny.

Whoever told you that is your enemy

I just visited Switzerland (Basel, Lucerne, and Zurich) for the first time last week, it was pretty awesome. Highly recommend.

The world’s greatest criminal mind!

why must you tempt me with such possibilities

Username checks out, probably doesn’t even know what taters is either

Everything in Dead Alive! One of my favorites

This was one of my complaints about the movie too, but after seeing it I decided to listen to the audiobook and tbh the book ends similarly. The final chapter is just rapid-fire story progression, ending with little fanfare after the dude just coup’d the entire galaxy. So, this complaint remains for me, apparently as a element of the canon. I’m still looking forward to the next book though, going to start it this week!

Sounds dumb, I can’t wait!

Leaning into the “ThePicardManuever is half of lemmy” meme, it would be terrible if you (or anyone!) were cowed by downvotes

This is actually the real problem, which makes me feel like the memes are justified. They really didn’t start showing up til the C&D anyway (AFAIK).

I’m a feminist and left-leaning guy, I’m certainly not gonna go after her for being a woman or for her “politics”* - or appreciate jokes that seek to do so, as people are trying to imply in this case. But trying to avoid the deserved scrutiny of hiding her flight plans is pretty shitty and it’s fair to razz her for it

(* “go vote” is so barely politics it’s not worth truly acknowledging it as such)

IMO voting should be:

• mandatory
• by mail
• ranked choice system (or approval voting, or whatever system is supposedly the best - I haven’t kept up-to-date on that aspect)
• empty ballot is valid, just sign it (or whatever)

While we’re at it, abolish the electoral college and enforce mathematically defined districts (end gerrymandering). And publicly funded elections - with PACs, etc banned of course.

I’ve been wfh since covid hit, I still put on pants every workday to keep myself from treating it like an eternal Saturday. I know if I start slipping I’ll become one of the laziest people on the planet

Equating “Hollywood elites” with “nasty commies” is fucking hilarious. Every time I read about this woman I have to remind myself it’s not satire.

Is that you, Samsung?

While planning your change (or project requiring such change), check the relevant(* see edit) DNS TTL. Figure out the point in the future you want to do the actual change (time T), and set the TTL to 60 seconds at T-(TTL*2) or earlier. Then when it comes to the point where you need to make your DNS change, the TTL is reasonable and you can verify your change in some small amounts of minutes instead of wondering for hours.

Edit: literally check all host names involved. They are all suspect

I can see both points of view and am not sure which side I find more compelling.

On one hand, it makes sense to have a weekly post about new movies, and a dedicated post for each movie when it comes out. IMO those were healthy features of the subreddit.

On the other hand, you’re right that the size of the community doesn’t warrant much in the way of structure and demanding it of our lone moderator is not fair to them (you).

I’m glad the conversation is happening though.

I don’t have a full ranking personally, and I there’s some I haven’t seen, but the first thing that popped into my head when reading the question was quantum of solace
