I tend to explain stuff to myself to figure out if I think I got it. Sometimes I try explaining stuff on ~~reddit~~ and hope anyone corrects me if I'm wrong. Works great imho.
Punching down? It was intended to be a relatively tame joke about the world have been small for quite a while, and pre-emptively make light of those who would think this "being too easily offended" is a relatively new thing. Im sorry if I failed to communicate this correctly.
Thats always how its been for stories, popular characters get reused by storytellers. The difference in the modern world is that the authors have the final say in who is allowed to milk said character for up to the authors lifetime plus 70 years.
Yeah, it IS cool! Even cooler is learning how language and words has evolved over time. A word you thought you knew might have had completely different meaning a few years or a century ago, and often gives a hint about the culture back then. If I redid my life, I would love to have become a language researcher.
The written word is well and good, but writing and reading didn't become common among everyone until some figured out how to mass-produce writings. The modern world, easy access to education, and many battles for equality and freedom, they couldn't have happened without printed books. We can learn about the sagas and myths of countless cultures around the world without being a noble or a monk or a scribe, and without knowing the original language. So.. Books. The magic in writing became so much more powerful with books.
I feel that for the rentable e-bikes and e-kick scooters. No need for overcrowded buses or car queues. No need to be afraid my bike is gonna get stolen when i park it. They are everywhere in the city. And is often faster than the bus too.
Just too bad some people cant park them properly, cant follow simple rules, and cant not try to ruin them.
Purely a kids movie, or..?
If its the same type of movie as Mitchell's vs the machines, its watchable by child-less grownups, imo. But if its in the type of the 2012 Nickelodeon TMNT series, its for kids.
Cool! I learned myself some basic Rust last year, I loved how they do memory management.
Ah. I think theres a lot of people who dont mind doing a single culture. As long as the single culture is THEIR culture only.
But I dont think a single culture is possible with humans. We are trained to spot differences in other humans, and sort people into "us" and "them".
At least you get feedback. I dont know what I do wrong or right, I'm just ignored. Maybe a gendered thing? I mean I have never heard someone tell a man his low ranking to his face. But also I dont know if I could have handled the amount and kind of feedback I've heard you women get. It probably hurts, and I'd probably punch someone eventually.
What were they called again? Demotivational posters? First memes I made. Still got them in a folder. They are awful, so I wont post them.
Yay, I'm contributing to Lemmy's many content feeds.
Saw one actor, Colm Meaney, in Marlowe recently. He still feels like O'Brien to me.
Once I can pick and choose my body and change it on a whim, and it feels like my body, Im gonna end up staying in VR unhealthily much.
Even with the tech we have today, when I first used VR and selected a body for something like VRChat, I started feeling like the body was my own. You know the "fake hand" experiment? Something like that. But the illusion is quickly destroyed as soon as I touch something or movement dont match up. And the effect gets weaker for each time.
It was such a cool feeling. I want it again.
