I recognize your name and appreciate your efforts, fam!

Hilda? Wat is Hilda? Some kind of Swedish death metal band?

oh wow I just read her "testimony comic" about her Christianity... tho to be honest I started skimming about 70% of the way thru when she started talking about "conviction of sin"... anyway it was kinda interesting up to that poing seeing this lil bunny worrying about The Meaning of Humanity and the Heat Death of the Universe:

That "Redtail's Dream" comic sounds interesting, Ima check it out tomorro.

I used to read "Stand Still. Stay Silent" several years back: https://www.sssscomic.com/

Looks like it was briefly mentioned a couple months ago on this community. Apparently the artist became Christian and ended the series and is now "drawing comics for the glory of God". (why couldn't one of those Scandinavian death metalheads have gotten to her first?!?)

Anyway, I really liked the series bc it was very infused with a Scandinavian outlook, even though it was postapocalyptic. She considered things like difficulties related to people speaking different languages. Also the art was really cool. The worldbuilding was great and the story was interesting but kind of meandering so I stopped reading bc I was going to wait and binge, but then I forgot about it.

I'd rather see a Funkadelic of owls...

Nah, I'd just buy rights to the song "Tetsuo" from the Akira soundtrack, and make that the new national anthem.

Wait, I'm confused, is this part of the upsidown tuesday where you do everything backwards?

btw I just realized if you rearrange the letters in INSIDE you get: DEI SIN...

"...scientists in general and astronomers in particular are not going to take these threats lying down..."

I'm glad to hear that and look forward to seeing what they plan to do. Realistically, I'm not expecting much.

Scott Adkins is severely underrated.... Plus, he's a legitimately skilled guy, I was just watching this video on his 540 kick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG25k9MKepo

Say, are you saying that it's possible to take an existing Mastodon post, and post it into Lemmy? If so can you pliz point me to someplace that says how to do that? So far I've only seen this guide: https://anonsys.net/display/bf69967c-1467-8270-7e3d-48d984455929 and it only says how to crosspost a new Mastodon post, not an existing Mastodon post.

The article seems well-written, except that:

the fediverse — the open social web powered by the protocol ActivityPub also used by Mastodon, Threads, Flipboard, and others.

Seriously? Flipboard has like one thousand Monthly Active Users and we have like 50 times that, but we're like "and others" lel... I guess they didn't mention Pixelfed either tho and it's a lot "hotter"...

depressed/self-loathing people dating each other is a really bad idea and results in shitty relationships and emotional turmoil

I see what you're getting at here... but sometimes instead it results in going to couples therapy and figuring out the roots of your problem and talking to a psychiatrist for medications, etc.

in panel 3 the guy shoulda said: "Blow me!"

In Eurovision that's always a possibility.

I gotta watch it! Here are a couple links I'm gonna try:

• full movie? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KatcbV8RUKQ
• full movie? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bStm0V_xhfA
• full movie but got to sign in? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNgzk0TvJJI
• Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/469612/laserblast

there are also a couple MST3K versions up on youtube tho one seems shorter than the runtime of the full movie.

EDIT: Aw yeah! It's got a supporting role by Eddie Deezen (famed for playing "nerd" characters in Grease and WarGames, as well as for doing various voice acting.)

Figure 1: a scene from WarGames

I thought it was Mark Hamill after he made several very bad life choices.

Check out Tony Tribe's version (after Neil Diamond's original, before UB40): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNgzk0TvJJI

Eh... if this were written in high school it'd be promising. In college, not a bad first draft. In grad school, if this is the result of several revisions then you're definitely not top of the class.

Truly, we have left the era of irony and entered the era of farce.

I think what they're getting at is this is clearly a simple script doing template generation: (1) statement of praise (2) statement of encouragement/thanks (3) a couple emoji. The sentences that are used to populate the templates might be LLM-generated, but these aren't state-of-the-art neural network "AI"s.
