Hi, I'm also Terencio on mastodon.social and Sergio on piefed.social. I mostly use this account to make posts that are easier here.

  • The sad thing is, 30 seconds with an image editor would have fixed that. But apparently that would be too much work.

  • Activity's picking up again on !streetwear@lemmy.world after a hiatus of about a year. (not really "my community" but it's interesting to see it happen.)

  • we don’t have the userbase for such niche communities

    depends what we expect of the niche communities.... true that we don't have large niche communities like on r$ddit... but I think of the fediverse more like a cafe not like a stadium...

  • I’m not sure how “suspicious behavior” could be relevant to a seller issuing you a refund.

    "suspicious behavior" is just a BS term used for switching the blame back to the consumer. Kind of like "for your convenience, we are [removing a capability]" or "for your safety, we are [taking away a right.]" You are correct that it makes no sense.

  • nah, I like this kind of conversation. back on r$ditt this whole thread woulda been just deleted.

  • iirc Wernher von Braun had also been optimistic about the Nazi Party.

  • I did get a sticker. I also got "sticker shock".

  • Plot twist: once you accept the wheel without reinventing it, you have to pay a monthly wheel subscription.

  • lawn grass everywhere...

  • That's Canada.

  • This should be in the running for worst movie ever made.

    It probably will be. It's currently holding at 0% from 12 critics on rottentomatoes.

  • That's fine that you think so. Humor's subjective. tbh I was struggling to explain why I liked this particular strip, because humor is hard to explain. And sometimes this cartoonist's humor doesn't do it for me either. I think that's part of why humor is so valuable, bc of its subjectivity and fragility.

  • If you don't think it's funny that's OK. I'm just gonna explain why I think it's hilarious.

    See, the gag of "an omniscient god hanging out with you" could be done in a single panel. Maybe the second panel, slightly modified, maybe it shows the boy and the girl standing next to a broken vase or something. But this comic extends it another couple panels. You see the crying kid and the smug girl. You see the kid with a freakin dunce cap on and the two other kids (with the god) looking at him. You see that their life really is worse because of this. The smug expression and the dunce cap are secondary gags, the real joke is that the stirp's saying: see? it really is bad. See this? See this?

    I think it's pretty funny, but if you don't agree that makes sense too.

  • Do you have a reference, or an essay that provides an overview of that? I've heard it before (and am willing to believe that it's true) but it's kind of a hard thing to look up on google scholar.

  • The voters. The voters forced this.

  • I know this is a joke. I know that. But I keep thinking of switching to Mint, and now there's going to be a part of my brain saying: "wait, there was some reason not to do that... I don't remember what, but it sounded pretty bad..."
