If you try to access one of the blocked communities from lemmy.world you'll see it's blocked, dude
lemmy.world rule 1:

c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com rule 3:
Don’t request or link to specific pirated titles
So c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com doesn't even break that rule. It's for discussion. Unless you take a very broad reading of not allowing the sharing of resources that could be used to pirate copyrighted material, but that's not an issue anywhere else
Maybe you shouldn’t even have had your account on the largest server to begin with?
Some of us made our accounts on lemmy.world within a week(?) of its creation when it was tiny (June 5 for me). Doesn't stop it from belonging on mildly infuriating

It all depends on context, imo. People should generally leave other people's private property alone. But if it's an ugly cinderblock wall downtown, some kind of drab piece of infrastructure, and the graffiti artist is actually making an effort to make it look good - it can be public art
Socialist by degree - but he mentions these things but not necessarily replacing the current system entirely. This is basically market socialism, which many (mainly Marxist-Leninists and the like) do not consider true socialism. There are a lot of MLs on lemmy. Hence my saying I'm surprised no one has come in yet to tell him he's not going far enough. We came close, someone called these fixes with the possible implication that he isn't going far enough, but not outright
The fun part about memes like this is that they could be posted by anyone, anywhere on the political spectrum. The only hint at intent is in the title or community
you've never experienced another, vastly superior system (like, for example, Germany)
??? Germany is not another system, it's just capitalism with some touches of socialism
The fun part is that you're on lemmy and I'm surprised no one has called you a conservative yet. This is because all of your ideas involve keeping the current system, and many people around here specifically want full socialism, Marxism, what have you
If you're going to break it down that far, why stop? Your "self" is not your central nervous system, but a portion of it - and not a very large one. It's your consciousness. Most of what your nervous system does is not conscious.
Your self (and mine) are but a small portion of a single organ in a large network of organs and tissues and cells and bacteria. We developed because it was advantageous for our bodies - which predate our consciousness - to have pilots. We are periphery. We are a single part of an ecosystem. And definitely not the center of it
How is this fire related to climate change? Genuine question because I don't understand the connection
He forgot to mention that the theory is that it happened on accident. Thus he fell forward, causing him to misfire
I have a huge problem with the Americans and Brits for this, they marginalise the fuck out if our dialect, make fun of it for being unitelligible
I mean I know you're talking about the wider world and not just this thread, but you started the conversation by being disingenuous about Americans and their dialects. It's kind of hard for people to take "I have a legitimate dialect" seriously when you just got done trashing half a continent's worth of dialects
Maybe if we all broach the topic with a little more understanding, you and everyone will feel better about it. For example Appalachian English and Northern Ireland English are both dialects with their own rules of pronunciation and grammar. They're both legitimate. But it's not surprising they'd have trouble understanding each other because they have so little interaction. But with patience and mutual respect it can happen
Seriously what the hell is going on in this thread. Think everyone should take a deep breath and realize that we all make mistakes and inconvenience each other sometimes, but most of us will also correct our mistake if it's brought to our attention
Usually a polite ‘excuse me’ does the trick but some people actively pick a fight upon hearing that phrase.
Win-win situation. Either they step aside and apologize (only ever had this one happen), or they get rude and I get to unload all my pent up rage on some unsuspecting civilian without feeling bad about it. Like free therapy
Yes to making housing more affordable but also, for your consideration: have more orgies. You'll feel a lot closer to your fellow community members
It's hilarious that you're downvoted because asking them to move has never failed in my experience. Given I'm in the Midwest and there's the whole "Midwestern sensibility" stereotype, but I don't think anyone here is different from anywhere else.
Most people who do this either don't think about the fact they're blocking the whole aisle or they don't realize you want through. A simple excuse me will let them know
Why YSK: Doing so can change your feed and experience drastically.
I typically sort by local/all: active, where I see a mixture of memes, news, and discussions. But I switched to all: hot, and I was shocked by just how homogeneous my feed became. It was pretty much entirely memes and computer discussion. Obviously this isn't always the case. But, I could see someone who always sorts by hot not realizing the diversity of the site.
So, if you're a little bored with your feed, or just want to see different posts, then try different sorting methods. Even if you're not, try it anyway. You might like what you find - or you might go back to your default.
I watched Indiana Jones & the Dial of Destiny last weekend. Seeing it made me want to revisit the series – in particular the most controversial entry, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Maybe I’m just comparing it with DoD (which I found good but underwhelming), but I watched the whole thing and I honestly think that KotCS is a decent movie that doesn’t deserve the level of hate it receives.
That’s not to say it’s perfect, nor that it can go toe-to-toe with Raiders of the Lost Ark. Its flaws are obvious. The CGI is not great and never was. The fridge and ant scenes push my suspension of disbelief. Harrison Ford’s age is a sticking point, and Spielberg’s action sequences don’t feel as exciting as 80s’ Spielberg. The parts where Mutt is repeatedly hit in the balls and when he swings on vines are downright painful to watch. And the inclusion of aliens (sorry, inter-dimensional beings) was jarring at the time.
But there are some redeeming factors, particularly in retrospect.
I genuinely enjoy the dynamic between Indiana and Mutt. It’s a good comparison to Sr. and Jr.’s dynamic in Last Crusade. I also think this dynamic has improved with time, as now we have the benefit of hindsight knowing that no, Mutt would not be taking over as the series protagonist.
The sci-fi elements don’t feel as jarring now as they once did. Two things have helped this: 1) I’ve had fifteen years to sit with the movie and get used to it. 2) Without spoiling anything, DoD’s plot and mcguffin are mostly sci-fi with some borderline fantasy, which has helped make KotCS less of a black sheep.
Ford’s age doesn’t bother me as much as it once did. I think the constant in-film jokes about his age really didn’t help this one. However, now that I’ve had a lot of time to get used to it - and let’s be honest, knowing that he’s in his 80s in DoD makes KotCS seem less extreme by comparison – it just doesn’t stand out as much anymore. But this point is probably entirely cope so oh well. <Edit> Actually, on second thought, it's kind of nice to see a story with a 50-something protagonist still doing protagonist things. It does push my suspension of disbelief seeing him do a lot of his action-y things, but I suppose it's technically possible if he's in good shape. And as a 27-year old who's been in my quarter life crisis for ten years, I find it life-affirming. </edit>
Finally, I like the story. The underlying story being told about the characters is actually pretty strong imo. I enjoy the arc of Indiana, Mutt, and Marion's relationships. And even though the main plot was panned at the time, in an age where every series is playing it safe and relying on nostalgia it’s refreshing to go back to a movie that pushed the boundaries enough to get it wrong. Again, DoD, while not bad, did not handle the characters all that well, and played a lot of things safe. It lacked incredible lows, but it lacked incredible highs too.
Despite its deep lows, KotCS does deliver classic-Indy highs, imho. And that’s why, in this era of so many blah, safe movies, I think the fourth installment of Indiana Jones deserves reconsideration.
