  • What is the origin of aliens looking like humans? Why and when did it become the norm?

    Jump

  • Yup, you got my point exactly! Appreciate ya.

  • For Star Trek, there is an in-universe explanation which is essentially that Humanity and many other classic humanoid species you see (Klingons, Vulcans, Romulans, et al) were all essentially "seeded" by the same ancient race of aliens. That race (the Progenitors) evolved way earlier than everyone else and found themselves alone in the galaxy, so they got down to the seeding. (I know this has also been touched on in S5 of Discovery so please forgive me if they changed anything lol)

  • I think a significant part of this problem is that, from what we can see in the photo, they 100% should have pulled forward so that they didn't entirely block the sidewalk. Someone coming through there on a wheelchair or with a stroller would have a real bad time. It also looks like it's out in the road a little, which is very inconsiderate as well.

  • Gen Z job seekers should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything,’ says Squarespace CMO

  • Gen Z job seekers should be allowed to steal everything this person owns.

  • LindowsOS, 2001

    Jump

  • To this day, I love to suggest my tech friend switch to Lindows as a joke. Still kills if they get it, otherwise I have to explain "so it's this old Linux distribution..."

  • Rapper BG ordered to have all future songs approved by US government

    Jump

  • I read this article and my main takeaway was: that Bling Bling song sucks.

  • Flavor Flav is the official hype man for the US women's water polo team in the Paris Olympics

  • "Flavor Flav is a swiftie" - Flavor Flav. This article just keeps hitting.

  • What's your fave movie of all time that you love to recommend to people?

    Jump

  • I'm always telling people to REALLY watch Napoleon Dynamite. I think it got quoted and proto-memed to death when it came out, leading to most people having an unfair idea in their head of what the movie is.

    The soundtrack is phenomenal. The acting is (mostly) way better than you may have thought it was. Jon Gries (Uncle Rico) was nominated for an Independent Spirit award and he absolutely deserved that nomination. The cinematography is excellent, especially knowing how much it cost to make + how much experience the crew had. Though it's not explicitly said, I think it's ultimately a story about neurodivergent people finding friendship, solidarity, and happiness in a world not made for them.

    Also, the scene where Uncle Rico throws a steak at Napoleon is still funny.

  • What do you use Waydroid for?

    Jump

  • Honestly: I cannot have the Instagram app on my phone (both for privacy and for addiction) - I have it installed on Waydroid and the fact that it works like 50% of the way keeps me from using it more than a couple times a week.

  • Can you separate the artist as a person from the music?

  • I love clarifications like this! Good on ya.

  • Win's is still so tough to me. I read through each of the statements and my final thought was: he did some bad things, but nothing that's going to get him thrown in jail. Similar to Aziz Ansari if I remember correctly. Now whether or not punishment would be morally right is another discussion, obviously our legal system is Very Flawed.

  • It was to me too, had to go looking - guessing this from Wikipedia is what it was:

    Kiedis acknowledges in his autobiography Scar Tissue that he had sexual relations with a 14-year-old girl when he was 23, before and after learning of her age, in the 1980s. This inspired him to write the song "Catholic School Girls Rule".

  • Small phone lovers... our era is not over. Yesterday I discovered the Unihertz Jelly Star. I fell in love. I will be reporting back.

    Jump

  • I love the idea! If there was good support from something like GrapheneOS or /e/OS I would be looking at one of these.

  • Lemmy, what music artists do you believe deserve more attention?

    Jump

  • Way too many to list but I'll throw one out. Do you like Radiohead, REM, The National, Pixies, Frank Turner, or Dinosaur Jr.? Well, they (or their lead singer) all love Mark Mulcahy's music enough to have recorded a cover song for the tribute album when Mark's wife passed.

    Mark led the band Miracle Legion, released some solo work, and led the band Polaris (not the metal band from Australia), best known as the band from the show The Adventures of Pete & Pete. Also noteworthy: Miracle Legion toured and released an EP with The Sugarcubes, aka Bjork's band.

    Song recommendations: The Backyard, All For The Best by Miracle Legion - Hey Sandy, Saturnine by Polaris - Taking Baby Steps, The Fiddler, Hey Self Defeater by Mark Mulcahy.

    Album recommendations: Drenched by Miracle Legion, Music from The Adventures of Pete & Pete by Polaris, and Fathering by Mark Mulcahy.
