Nah, I’d be like, go on! Do you associate that song with a particular event, person, time or place in your life? When did you first hear it? In what context is it your fave? Have you ever heard it played live? What was that like? Could you ever imagine another song taking its place or is it too sentimental or ingrained into your very being?

Basically a question like “fave colour/song” is often a simple test. The kind of answer you give should indicate whether or not the topic can be opened up or expanded upon or even just indicate if you want to talk to this person at all right now. If you answer “blue I guess”, and look completely disinterested or “insert massive pop hit of the moment” and leave it at that, then they know to go about their day or try another topic like “So what about that sportsball game/weather/current event?”. But you might give them a nuanced answer that will lead to more conversation.

It is handy to have a simple, 1 dimensional responce if you want to shut down the conversation quickly or direct it to another topic.

Great post idea! My list is based mostly on nostalgia for a certain period of time in my life:

Fog (again) - Live - Radiohead

Pyramid Song - Radiohead

Fake Empire - The National

Hurt - Johnny Cash

Headlong - The Frames

Scattered Black and Whites - Elbow

Grace Under Pressure - Elbow

Starálfur - Sigur Rós

Hoppípolla - Sigur Rós

October - U2

Kleiopedia. Named after Kleio the Greek muse of History. Alternate spelling derived from her Latin spelling is Cliopedia but I personally prefer Kleiopedia. She was often depicted with a scroll or a chest full of books.

I have good news! If you wait around long enough your comment will eventually become 100% correct while mine will become weird and just flat out wrong?!

No no, you’ve got it quite wrong, they only have 22.4k karma not 24k! 24k would be insane!!?

Yeah, same and for the same reason, to be more engaged than I have been elsewhere. I mostly switch between All / New or Subscribed / New. I can see that changing if things get much busier.

Cheers! I since see someone already posted a version of this over there with a slightly misleading headline “Minecraft is leaving Reddit”. So I’ll leave it for now but good to know for next time

This feels like it should be cross-posted to !minecraft@lemmy.world but I don’t know how to do that? 🤔 Hopefully a few people start looking around for an alternative place to hang out. Even if 0.5% of that sub moved over to Lemmy you’d have a really stong community here!

You MUST re-open the community you helped build over the years for free so that we can earn BIG monies on teh ads!! Make us monies for FREE slave!! We pay you NUTHIN! You work hard for USSSS!!! Work when WE tell you too!!! foaming at the mouth with rage

I was thinking of the supermarket duopoly we have here in New Zealand were the two major players own 85% of the total market. So it might not be comparible to this type of store? Margins here are around 20% so that’s coloured my read of this story. The obcene profits here are at the retailer and they pressure the wholesellers to reduce prices to where they can even exceed a 20% margin. We’re definitly in a “It would be a shame if your product couldn’t be found on our shelves” situation. They own everything from small country town stores to large city supermarkets.

I’ll have no choice but to close a store.

Yeah, because hiring staff back and getting rid of self help checkouts is impossible?? How would they even go about that?

Or, and here’s a radical idea, drop your prices so people can actually afford to pay for the food??

New Zealand, Christchurch. We can drink straight out of the tap BUT it was chlorinated while our crappy infrastructure was being upgraded in recent years. Still is in some parts of the city I think? The actual water is from deep aquifers and was pristine and then it went through our dodgy wellheads which have since been upgraded.

Super hard to limit to just 5 but here’s the first that came to mind: Star Wars: A New Hope The Matrix Delicatessen The Science of Sleep The Fifth Element

Any of the following could easily go somewhere on the above list :) Blade Runner, 12 Monkeys, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Brazil, The Hudsucker Proxy, Groundhog Day, Dark City, Inception & Intersteller (if only it didn’t have the whole love is a force that transcends dimensions and can be used to communicate across time and space stuff?!)

Yeah, all I got was something about security reasons & some fan almost drowned swimming out to Leonardo’s boat to say hi?! Personally I’d say good riddence BUT I would say the local economy might take a hit?

It was her great great grandparents

Brilliant! I miss the days of being able to slap on a massive oversize battery to get you through the day! :-D Carrying around powerbanks and cables is such a huge step back!

I’ve moved from Twitter to Mastodon and Reddit to Lemmy and am so far loving both. Even though they’re taking a bit to get used to they’re mostly pretty straight forward and familiar feeling in how they work. I will definitely miss certain subreddits but many of them are already here in some form or in the process of moving over. I really love the distributed model that is not at the behest of a single corporate entity or billionaire.
