Migrating soon to @DudePluto@lemm.ee due to disagreements with lemmy.world’s implementation of Rule 1.
It all depends on context, imo. People should generally leave other people’s private property alone. But if it’s an ugly cinderblock wall downtown, some kind of drab piece of infrastructure, and the graffiti artist is actually making an effort to make it look good - it can be public art
If everyone were a gardener no one would need a warrior
Galadriel: And for you, Frodo Baggins, I give you the light of my daughter’s husband’s father
Frodo: So what does that make us?
Galadriel: Absolutely nothing
Oh hey, the star’s name really is a reference to Tolkien’s Earendil!
And for you, Frodo Baggins, I give you the light of Earendel, our most distant star. May it be a light to you in dark places when all other lights go out.
I have a huge problem with the Americans and Brits for this, they marginalise the fuck out if our dialect, make fun of it for being unitelligible
I mean I know you’re talking about the wider world and not just this thread, but you started the conversation by being disingenuous about Americans and their dialects. It’s kind of hard for people to take “I have a legitimate dialect” seriously when you just got done trashing half a continent’s worth of dialects
Maybe if we all broach the topic with a little more understanding, you and everyone will feel better about it. For example Appalachian English and Northern Ireland English are both dialects with their own rules of pronunciation and grammar. They’re both legitimate. But it’s not surprising they’d have trouble understanding each other because they have so little interaction. But with patience and mutual respect it can happen
Seriously what the hell is going on in this thread. Think everyone should take a deep breath and realize that we all make mistakes and inconvenience each other sometimes, but most of us will also correct our mistake if it’s brought to our attention
Usually a polite ‘excuse me’ does the trick but some people actively pick a fight upon hearing that phrase.
Win-win situation. Either they step aside and apologize (only ever had this one happen), or they get rude and I get to unload all my pent up rage on some unsuspecting civilian without feeling bad about it. Like free therapy
Yes to making housing more affordable but also, for your consideration: have more orgies. You’ll feel a lot closer to your fellow community members
It’s hilarious that you’re downvoted because asking them to move has never failed in my experience. Given I’m in the Midwest and there’s the whole “Midwestern sensibility” stereotype, but I don’t think anyone here is different from anywhere else.
Most people who do this either don’t think about the fact they’re blocking the whole aisle or they don’t realize you want through. A simple excuse me will let them know
I could tolerate almost every redditism if it weren’t for the belittling, argumentative, and self-righteous tones that permeated every front page discussion
Change your sort options. Your lemmy experience will change drastically depending on whether you’re sorting by hot, active, top, etc.
At least lemmy has lots of mirrored communities so if one starts to suck you can go to a smaller one with the same topic
Yeah talk about a depressing thought
Absolutely agree, got a big crush on Cap so I like to imagine he’s too tuned into the purest version of the 🇺🇸American spirit🇺🇸 to hate. But it is funny to suspend that and think about what if he was just a grumpy old man
No doubt there were plenty of gay men back then but were they widely accepted?
Could’ve done without yet another train fight, and the chase sequences might’ve been cut down a bit
This is exactly how I felt - like the opening sequence was too long for what it contributed, and that the chase sequences could have been cut down. Sounds like we just disagree on the overall impact due to those aspects
Some of us made our accounts on lemmy.world within a week(?) of its creation when it was tiny (June 5 for me). Doesn’t stop it from belonging on mildly infuriating
