  • Is there a word or (concise) phrase to describe the paradox of sharing something (like a website) that you don't like, but because you're sharing it you're tacitly helping it?

    Jump

  • The problem is what you're linking is something you personally disagree with, but that doesn't mean it's "bait" in the first place. (I probably should've avoided a political example as I think some are getting carried away with that, but it could be anything.)

    Different example: I could link something about peanut butter though I hate peanut butter with all my heart and hope it ceases to exist. Yet you'd never call "peanut butter cookies recipe" engagement bait. (Well, probably never...)

    The term or phrase has to encompass more than just political sides or something like it. It's the act of spreading something you personally don't want to spread. But what you're helping spread could be benign from most people's perspectives.

  • What are the alternatives to commodity housing?

    Jump

  • The Grand Apparatus from Brandon Sanderson's "Cosmere" springs to mind.

    Light Cosmere spoiler ↓

    The Grand Apparatus is composed of a vast number of rooms all atop and around one another and constantly in motion. [ ] If a denizen needs or wants a room with a particular function such as a bedroom or bathroom, they can make a request to the Apparatus itself and the appropriate room will be brought to adjoin the one currently occupied. Because of the Apparatus' nature, access to sunlight is infrequent and is only accessed by requesting a room with windows which is moved to the structure's perimeter upon transferring. Personal possessions are kept in trunks which are moved along with each resident as they transfer from room to room. Because all rooms are shared, there is no concept of ownership of space.

  • How good does the sex have to be for you to deal with your partners bullshit?

    Jump

  • Good sex can keep a relationship going for longer than it should, but it won't be indefinite no matter how orgasmic.

    Jump

  • Definitely not exact, but sort of a variation. Hoping for something that hits it specific but for all I know there might not be a precise term for it yet. (Besides "outrage porn" but even that doesn't hit the nail on the head, just a descriptor.)

  • /agree, probably the closest answer to my mindset so far. (And I do love me some old school forums. RIP Portent and Waryammer.)

  • How come posts on Lemmy often have fewer upvotes than the comments in the thread, even if they merely provide additional information or expand on the idea?

    Jump

  • There are certainly times I'd rather have 50 comments and 5 upvotes than 50 upvotes and 5 comments.

  • Does everyone have an opposite gender name they would use?

    Jump

  • I think the female versions of my name sound terrible, so, no on that front.

    In general not a thought I've had aside from that. I've always felt comfortable with my gender/sexual orientation.

  • Will an anti advertisement movement ever materialize?

    Jump

  • You'd have to advertise an anti-advertisement campaign. 🥲

    But seriously, I think most of this concern would fall under a subsection of a comprehensive Privacy Act.

  • Depending on how serious you are (but maybe not "police" serious) and also your financial situation, this is the kind of stuff a Private Investigator can do.

  • What are your gaming highlights of 2025?

    Jump
    • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
    • Dave the Diver
    • Another Crab's Treasure
    • Cataclismo
    • Black Myth: Wukong

    (*note some of these were Let's Play's I watched instead of played as combat mechanics like Clair/Wukong don't interest me.)

    I also spent a lot of time with an old friend, Heroes of Might and Magic V, Tribes of the East.

    Edit/PS: Have to include Tactical Breach Wizards. Hilarious and very different take on the "Xcom-esque" genre. Great characterization and story. Requires a very different style of thinking to master it.

  • Could gunpowder be chemically addictive for humans ?

    Jump

  • Pretty good series, pretty sure the author's an "acolyte" of Brandon Sanderson, so if anyone reading this likes the Cosmere you might like this series as well.

    Been on my "reread" list for a while but the list keeps growing...

  • Here's what I just got. (Brought to you by the wonders of mspaint!)

  • What 'bad' movie could you fix with a simple casting change?

    Jump

  • This is what I came to say if it wasn't already.

    Replace both leads with a couple that has chemistry but retains that slightly antagonistic spark and it would've made a good movie. I don't even have an alternate casting, just, "not them."

  • I was sad that the final three books were never adapted

    I haven't read the books, and that was the biggest hook for me. Such a cock-tease. Some day I'll probably read 'em, I'm familiar with the authors' fantasy books from way back when they used a single pseudonym, Daniel Abraham, and liked their stuff.

    But damnit, I wanted to see it onscreen!
