It really was. Great nostalgic vibes with the modern blend of garbage YouTube level comments. This will make its rounds in my group

Thank you very much for the very easy to digest explanation of his multiple investigations. We are living through an absolutely insane time

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.

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.

Full size in Connect on Android for me

That's the thing about beans, there's always more...

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

Which is why different animals perceive color in different ways. I'd have to look for it but I think it's tigers that see green in a totally different way than people do.

I really liked Wefwef, it led me to finding Connect, which I like even more. Excited for Sync too, it'll just get easier and easier to help build this community

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
