If I was going to fall off the wagon after 2 years, I hope to gods it would be with something better than Bud Light.

[Tina] Fey / [Robert] Carlock

They’re the team behind “30 Rock”, “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” and several others.

Also Jack Burditt who produced both of those and many other shows I’ve enjoyed such as “Just Shoot Me” and “Frasier”.

In theory you might be able to pass yourself off as some kind of supernatural figure, but not without knowing anything about their belief system first.

Nice. I’ve pretty much just used LibreTranslate for that, but will check that out and see if it works any better.

I just want more games to let you quit to desktop from the game without having to first “Quit to main menu -> Are you sure? (yes!) -> Loading screen + main menu animation -> Quit to Desktop -> Are you sure? (Yes, i’m goddamned sure!)”

so it’s 30% not 20%

Fair. I was going by population numbers vs votes cast and didn’t have the voter turnout numbers handy when I originally wrote that out and was paraphrasing from that to save time.

But that’s still far from half, and I’m tired of people using the misconception/phrase to justify their xenophobic rhetoric.

“Half of Americans voted for this”

No, half the people who actually showed up to vote voted for the guy, but not necessarily all he is and has been doing. It’s actually only about 20-22% or less of the population that actually voted this guy into office and fewer than that are on board with current events. Far from “half of Americans”, so just stop it.

The only one I currently follow is !localllama@sh.itjust.works

I’m not anti-AI, but I am very much anti Big AI and also don’t personally care for AI-generated images (they just look…uncanny to me), so I don’t have much interest in anything beyond the tools I can run locally.

Searching “AI” has a lot of false positives, but searching “llama” has some results at https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=llama

All I want is that top comments under posts are something insightful and related to the post, and not just the same one liner boring jokes that keep getting upvoted for some reason.

Milk

Any extreme intolerant politics, and group think

Milk

Unoriginal and boring “ask” threads

(Looks at this post I just made) :sigh: Milk lol

If you’re going to post political memes in a non-political meme community, at least spell things correctly.

US: “Zeebra”

I would venture a guess that countries that say “Z” as “Zee” pronounce it “zeebra” where countries that say Z as in “Zed” pronounce it zebrah like “Debra”.

screen time is just a limit on time to learn if the kid is using it for the right purposes which you should teach them to

Emphases mine. So many parents just plop their kid down in front of a TV or tablet and use it like a babysitter. They don’t teach kids media literacy and just let “the algorithm” keep them entertained so they can have some peace and quiet. And that’s assuming the parents have the requisite media literacy to pass on - many don’t.

Not sure about alt-pop specifically, but these are alternative/indie music communities:

• https://lemmy.world/c/alternativenation
• https://lemmy.cafe/c/indieheads

Good point. I guess I’m a “nerd” in that I like to learn, like to understand the “why” of things, and prefer a good book to a movie, but I was mostly basing “nerd” off of the Hollywood nerd / dork character I grew up watching.

If I do, then it’s in ways I’m totally blind to.

I’m gay but I have to remind even close friends of that fact from time to time lol.

I’m a huge Star Trek nerd, but I can’t quote plot points and episode numbers like bible verses.

I work in IT but I’m far from the as-seen-on-TV geek / graybeard. (thankfully that stereotype is fading away for the most part).

I’m sure there are some stereotypes I fit into that I’m just not aware of, but the ones I am aware of I tend to buck.

Ugh. Prob similar to the posters who are well aware political meme communities exist but insist on posting them here. There’s nothing temporary about those blocks, but I’m willing to let the horny posters get it out of their system and unblock them later.

A few weeks ago, “horny posting” became the latest bandwagon here, and I got bored of it, so temporarily blocked the handful of accounts posting the bulk of those. Usually these bandwagon themes fizzle out after a while, so I check back every so often to see when it’s safe to unblock them.

Would that make her kid a demi-Demi Lovoto or Semi Demi Lovato?

Nice. Only omitted that one because I hadn’t heard of it. I like to switch apps every so often so will check it out.
