BenLeMan@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL about thought-terminating clichésEnglish271·6 days agoLet’s not forget the grand daddy of them all: The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Somewhat apropos I recommend watching Adam Curtis’ take on what he calls Oh Dearism:
BenLeMan@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which NES soundtrack do you find very relaxing?31·7 days agoMy favorite NES “soundtrack” is Dark Side of the Moon, Brad Smith’s fantastic adaptation of the Pink Floyd classic for the NES console.
Great “use” of quotation “marks” and I’ll have one of each please. 😊
Some people just can’t handle being released from Plato’s cave.
For some people it is. Hell, there’s even a character in the actual movie who thinks so.

BenLeMan@lemmy.worldto People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•Tapping the space bar until it's close enough5·9 days agoFrom my experience, yes. Especially since tabs or a table with invisible grid lines are usually the better tools for this job.
But people still use their computer like a typewriter, 25 years after those went out of fashion.
In fairness, you’re right. I just spent a few minutes looking at higher resolution images of the box and it does not make that claim.
That said, the meme captures the spirit of an era pretty perfectly. I still think it hits the nail on the head.
BenLeMan@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•this case has more holes in it than swiss cheese5·10 days agoHow ironic, since Trump is a big fan of the SS, especially the death’s head variety.
BenLeMan@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Celsius and Metric users of Lemmy, is there any cute tips or sayings that help generalize a measurement?8·13 days agoThe m to km conversion factor is exactly 1000. Same with g to kg and Pa to kPa, W to kW etc.
(maybe you were going for mi to km? Which is 1.6?)
“Bathroom stalls with conveniently placed holes available on site. Come one, come all.”
Some people are Anna-Maniacs, I guess.

I hate it when I’m looking for a single piece of information like how to change a specific setting on my device and there’s no text available, just a highly rated video that goes like:
“Hey guys, it’s your boy ManualExplainer here and welcome to another video. Be sure to like and subscribe to my channel. And remember to click on the little bell icon so you get notified whenever I put up a new video. All right, let’s get to it. But first, a word from today’s sponsor.”

Yep. But they gave him a Nobel Peace Prize for… saying nukes are kind of bad?
Gaming and laundry cat here.
BenLeMan@lemmy.worldto Work Reform@lemmy.world•Gave him an offer, then took it away. Thanks PayPal.3·18 days agoAnything else would be communism since it would infringe on the company’s freedom to do with its human resources whatever the hell it pleases. Therefore, death cultists across the United States will adamantly oppose worker’s rights until their final breath.

Actually, I think you’re both right. Yes, Joe Rogan (as a cultural phenomenon) has no good reason to exist and I, too, want to see him destroyed.
But the evidence is mounting that many people love to listen to a wretched, moronic, self-important piece of shit like him (or Alex Jones or countless others on the right). Because he validates all of their worst tendencies for bigotry, conspiracist thinking, and intellectual laziness. Building up another Hasan Piker or Jimmy Dore isn’t helping because all they do is preach to the choir.
If you want meaningful change you have to get money out of politics, reform the voting system, and focus on education. Not that any of that is going to happen without a major upheaval but hey, I’m trying to be constructive here…
