I was actually just telling someone about that on Thursday, I didn't even think to make that connection! The robots at the table splitting the bill as the core of the drive is so funny. Douglas Adams is a beauty.
I've just been watching through Futurama again, and so many of the lines never fail to crack me up.
I just watched the episode in season 3 where Zap, Kiff, Leela and Amy go on a double date, and the space station restaurant starts crashing so Zap takes the wheel to "save the day". As he takes the wheel he says so confidently"She's built like a steakhouse but handles like a Bistro" and that line absolutely slays me. I was almost in tears hearing it again, I love Zap as a character so much.
I'm reading Deaths End the 3rd book in the "Three Body Problem" series.
Some of the best sci-fi I've ever read, super unique ideas, I was blown away with some of the concepts in this series.
I feel like that's a common trend in modern media, a lot of remakes and alternate versions of the same story. Like they are bringing back Harry Potter as a series, and they are doing a peter pan and Wendy thing as well. Seems like there aren't a ton of original things that are getting these big budgets. Not saying there aren't original things coming out, they don't seem to be what the Hollywood "default" is at the moment
I love how sinister this comes off.
Roald Dahl's books (most) have such dark undertones, this picture feels so in universe I love it
My thoughts exactly, this is still generating a lot of traffic for reddit, and more proves the point that it doesn't matter what they pull, as long as they do some cool stuff that only happens on Reddit, people will still go. Maybe using place for advertising the fediverse would be better but even then, still using the system. Don't know the answer, just not sure this is as effective as we would hope.
I do love the visual protest, but do you not have to go on Reddit to access space? Still giving them lot's of traffic for the sake of something that may not even appear on the admins radar just seems a little ineffective. Again, love the protest, I just wonder about its efficacy.
USSR no longer exists is why he said was, but Russia probably still does it yeah
Slice and Dice is a solid phone game, easy time waster and a lot of fun rolling some dice to kill some baddies. In general though I do think they are quite trash, but ports and emulators are probably the best option
Couldn't agree more, I use psychadelics a few times a year, and nothing brings be to that same feeling OP was describing like LSD or mushrooms. Some of the best conversations and experiences I've ever had agave been on psychedelics, I laugh till I cry almost everytime I've done them. have had bad trips in my life, but I feel like Set and Setting are hugley important as well as having respect for the drug. Overall highly recommend.
Yeah I'm here from RIF on connect, feels good. Still missing a few things, like I don't have a "hot" filter, I seem to be seeing a lot of the same posts. But over all after the past two weeks of using Lemmy, I'm happy to be away from Reddit
Have they not threatened the communities with scabs as well? Like "if you don't mod this, we will find someone who will". The whole thing just seems super toxic and I really feel for the mods who genuinely cared and cultivated their subreddits. A lot of time and effort to be put into something for it to be thrown in their face for the sake of money.
I'm such a weirdo with this, because I don't mind owning digital games, but I really don't enjoy reading books digitally. I have a massive library that my partner is constantly exasperated by ahah
