Okay that’s pretty sick

exactly

No, today is November the 5th, the Alamo takes a break today.

I liked them, but it’s just been too long since Beyond to justify the cast. Everyone will look a decade older, the crews are gone, everyone has moved on. And with a new Chekov (and most of the cast saying they’d feel bad doing it without him) it just would be a completely different movie anyway. Better to do something different.

I’ve tried this argument with them, it doesn’t work. They just shift focus to “Waste of our money”, which of course is then “What about roads”, and then they go back to “But people use roads”, “But people use transit too”. They’ll just point to the next thing fox news has taught them.

I’m glad it does! However since it has only been at festivals I read that as 97% of people who like film festivals like it, I worry once the general public sees it

He’s proven he has acting chops for sure

It’s be fun to have a nemesis like that. Nothing life threatening or too evil, just enough where you’d turn and say, “Newman”.

Great show

Two trains passing in the night…

Oh that’s not fair, Leslie Knope is the public servant we all deserve.

I’ll throw in a few.

I want Dr. Cox and JD to be my medical team, the two of them would do everything they could.

I want my local burger shop to be Bob’s.

And I wish Captain Holt was a real police commissioner.

It’s both ways, I both ignore things from you, and I don’t send anything to you either.

Exactly right. The positive is that we can also easily defederate from bad actors, but unless you explicitly allowlist everything then that’s going to be a losing battle.

Downside of free and open is that it’s, well, free and open.

Think about how much propaganda we are fed. The right tried to tell us that all major cities are horrible crime ridden deathtraps and it’s just not true. I can walk through my city any time and be fine. Now people may not feel safe but feelings aren’t what is actually happening.

What is proven is that fear gets clicks, and so the more you amp up that things are unsafe the more people will click.

Most reasonable answer. Propaganda is insidious. It is subtle, it can latch onto anything. It could be racism, that’s one thing sure. It could be that they wanted lower taxes and over time it slowly convinced them it was all of the others. It could be anything. To assume like this, well, it’s exactly why the right has so much just reasoning when saying we’re quick to throw the racism card. Because, well just look at this thread.

I’m sorry, I assumed by posting about it that you were passionate for this change. If you don’t care that’s fine - but I don’t know why you posted about it then.

Yes, that is my proposal. Many people complain saying there are better ways to host instances but no one is willing to practice what they preach and actually do it. If you want to see change in the fediverse then you should step up and do it.

New users have a choice when joining, you should make a new instance and convince the new users why they should join. I would support a toggle on join-lemmy which lets them see what servers are geographically close, but that would be irrelevant before you set up an instance to pave the way.

If you “can’t be bothered” then obviously you aren’t as passionate about it as you claim to be.

Again, the proposed solution stands. Set up your own instance and prove us all wrong, show us how to make this local place where people talk to each other in their physical community.

There, that better? Show us how to do it, if it’s popular more will do it.

And I believe this logical fallacy is Moral Equivalence.

We’re not comparing here, I’m not biting on the rage bait. Again, the proposed solution stands. Set up your own instance and prove us all wrong, show us how to make this utopia you promise.

Ah I believe this is the Either/Or logical fallacy.

People not wanting to see hate speech or propaganda does not mean they are in echo chambers. Those are two different things.

It also doesn’t stand with my original statement. Go set up your own instance that is welcoming. That would prove that it’s not an echo chamber and expand the fediverse. Win win from what I see. Let us know when it’s up.
