Houston Texans Sign Another Veteran Tight End

  • Hard to tell if he's winning or losing. If he's being incentivized to destroy the integrity of a mainstream information-sharing platform, he's done well. If he in any way wanted to run the company, he's done laughably bad. I guess time will tell

  • They did! Spielberg is so committed to his craft that he went to Tom Hanks hometown and asked all the locals if they'd like a chance at being as famous as Tom. So many signed up without reading their contract, which stated that there was live ammunition being used on set. Vin Diesel was actually supposed to die, but a machine gun jammed and the ensuing awkward conversation with the director led to Vin getting a feature role in exchange for his silence about Spielberg's method directing. He parlayed that little incident into a ten film series about cars or some dumb shit.

    To think that if Steven Spielberg had done his goddam job we could've all been saved from watching the Chronicles of Riddick! Crazy times.

  • In the real world, evil must be met with appropriate force. Not every "right" action is covered in flowers and rainbows, sometimes you have to do hard, unlikeable things because otherwise people trying to change the world for the worse will succeed. You can't give fascists a slap on the wrist.

  • Doesn't communism do the same? In fact why the fuck do the crazy psychos rise to the top seemingly everywhere? Is this one of those "nice guys finish last" kinda deals or some phenomenon I've never heard of?

  • This is so cool, I'm so uninformed about Plex. I just heard about it on r/Piracy days before the Reddit shutdown. I'm getting ready to sit down and learn how to do all that, the hardware will baffle me I'm sure.

  • While you are correct that suffering is a better metric, there would be many in our society that would gravitate towards higher rated suffering items in the same way they want real fur coats and real leather in their Ferraris. That would backfire quickly.

    Texans' Laremy Tunsil says there's a 'whole new vibe' with new head coach DeMeco Ryans, QB C.J. Stroud

  • Yeah that's crazy, I was furious when they fired Victoria back in the day. It's nice to see that Alexis Ohanian is the one who deserves the blame for that massive fuckup. Man that gives me a pang of nostalgia for the old days of reddit though. Interesting that the Wiki article points to Obama's presidency and the 08 financial collapse as a "glass cliff" event.

  • That's a thought exercise I first explored when I was tripping on LSD one time. Once you accept that colors could look entirely different, what's to stop us from imagining that the entire makeup of our perception is adjusted to the individual, but the chaos of the universe keeps all of our unique perceptions in enough alignment that we can interact seamlessly with one another. The concept of an "alien green man" could be what someone actually sees the whole human species as, and the words "alien green man" just fit a different description to that individual, so when refrenced, that person envisions an alien being as foreign as the "alien green man" is to us, and can communicate with others on that concept.

    Perception defines your experience

  • I just finished the Behind the Bastards podcast on Vagrancy. the destruction of the third place and destroying the ability to be anywhere for free without being hassled by the law has changed a part of America that was great. The freedom to exist is becoming elusive. The freedom to find common space with like minded people, that's becoming hard to find too. I hope this place helps.

  • You're helping! I was nowhere near as much of a contributor on Reddit as I have been on Lemmy these past few days. Users like you and me will help build this place into something hopefully even more special than Reddit was.

    This is an appeal to the Reddit users that have escaped to this space; lets bring PCON36 over to continue the TD countdown!!

  • I'm pretty "stupid" as well when it comes to online literacy, it's definitely challenging me to use Lemmy (I'm on Jerboa right now, gonna try some other apps like Wefwef and Sync when it comes out to see how I like them) but I really like the community and the potential here. I'm gonna have to learn how to do a lot of new things here, like figure out the extent of where my log in works, how to organize the instances I want to go to and be a part of, and how to search through this content. But I'd rather get on the ball now so I can fully integrate and leave Reddit behind. It already felt like a cesspool before Spez did his thing, and it's getting worse by the minute now that the 3rd party apps are down
