The sorcerer Jezebel

Rhode Island, Huh?

Possibly learned to use right, realised he was a lefty, can’t be bothered to learn it with left

Lack of success of non-far right (and non-right) in many areas where only far right provide answers, plans or solutions. Instead of accepting this people instead suggest it’s illegal to have different ideas to them. Lemmy is one such place. And then congratulations, you’re making the problem worse.

Also consider that the regime needs or thinks it needs a “far right” and “far left” so it can posit itself as the “reasonable centre.” Maybe when we analyse some things proposed by so called far right and far left they don’t look so “far” after all, and can even exist in synthesis with one another. But when you say far left or far right you think of the worst thing that you’re told to associate with that movement.

@goofsqueak@lemdro.id is correct, it’s an AI generated thumbnail option that youtube suggests to content creators as it is “calculated” to get the most clicks, but i think it has been backfiring. A channel i watch a lot started to use it and everyone pushed back, so they stopped.

The main thing to look out for is chunky yellow letters. Often a bit of crinkling on the edges as so - more so if it’s “appropriate”, e.g a biking video (pictured above). Always to the side, usually the entire left half of the screen.

When you go to make a video it suggests the thumbnail to you based on your video content, or you can upload one and it will suggest changing it. It’s optional, but lots of creators “fall” for it because it saves them work and insists it gets more clicks

I only saw it in year 7! To think that something so explicit could be shown to primary schoolers nowadays…

Any grown adults want to meet up to play tag in the woods?

So, Berlin is being threatened with blackmail by hackers. Or do I just misunderstand how the verb works? I feel like the headline will panic people more than what I put.

which is thought to operate from Russia and eastern Europe

“Say the line, Bart”

and no sir I have not been smoking this idea

Pass it over and let me take a hit then

I’ve heard stories of people who’ve been overweight that’d never see lengthy lives because the burden of weight would be too much.

Absolute fear mongering! I see lots of people who comfortable being fat their whole lives and live a normal lifespan.

The hardest part from my experience of being slightly overweight is that it is harder to feel ready for any type of exercise, and I also got tired more quickly just from pulling the weight around when I walked to places.

Idk, it’s a cathedral so I don’t think they’re doing a gender neutral toilets thing

So it’s about how badly you need to poop. And the one on the right is “being wheeled in because you’re already pooping yourself”

It sounds very tough!

You are at least the second person to mention IBS/other stomach issues and interestingly I made this post because I’m suffering the worst stomach pain of my life, which i think must have been bought on by lifting with bad form. So I guess this is a sign I really need to see the doctor about this? I will.

And best of luck with seeking employment. Hiring cafe is good for finding remote work

I cannot self-terminate. If I could, I would have.

I have learned this too. It’s like the darkest sentence ever, lol. (Assuming you replace the middle period with a ; semicolon or dash)

But I’m proud of you and super impressed. Interested in the math and science courses if you have them to-hand

I loved watching the hobbit in the cinema, but i was a kid and I don’t think I will ever sit down to watch it all again.

The first one felt okay to have as one long film, i.e natural, but it’s weird that it would end with the eagle rescue after Goblin town.

If i think about it off the top of my head, some scenes they stretched out in film 1 (“An Unexpected Journey”) were:

• The “prelude” scenes of E r e b o r, which were very beautiful and cinematic, but most movies would convey in one or two scenes.
• confrontations such as with the trolls and the goblins
• CGI sequences like Radagast leading the wargs away from the dwarves

I’ve not thought about it before but it really is a shame because as soon as a shorter version comes along, people will prioritise that film instead.

Socialism!!! That’s socialism, how dare they!

That’s fair enough, but I guess the premise of star wars is that they’ve always known about the force since pre-space times (Though literature outside of the movies explains the opposite), so to me it seems more like just the fantasy premise of the series.

Honestly the only Bradbury novel I’ve read so far was Fahrenheit 451 (I loved it). That’s probably not sci fi, because tho it is set in the future, the futuristic elements which couldn’t exist today are spoke about in vague terms and it’s more a story of highlighting what’s wrong with our current society by extrapolating where it will go from here

One of the best documentaries I watched was Brian Cox’s Solar System, so yes that’s a very good example of how the purely scientific can create a pretty fantastical impression!
