Careful, posting your collection of Harry Potter books to Lemmy.
It’s definitely easier to find weird stuff with all the streaming services. But I don’t often look for stuff, and back then the good stuff found me. I’ll occasionally even look at what’s trending now to try and find something interesting, but I rarely see anything.
Either way, it’s not just my opinion, it can be verified empirically, there is way less variety in popular music these days. I even remember Vsauce had a video about that. And it applies to other mediums as well. All big budget movies are generic. All AAA games are either live service or Assassins’s Creed but Vikings/Hackers/Jedi/etc. And by “all” I mean “most”, of course. If you want the good stuff you either go indie or retro.
What led you to that ciscendental revelation?
Maybe. But IIRC it’s still not the reason she got the powers. I think it was because they were related or something, she was able to incorporate Hulk blood somehow. She didn’t become She-Hulk due to massive exposure to radiation.
I didn’t say it wasn’t formulaic, I said it wasn’t AS “formulaic”. Back then popular music still had much more variety, nowadays whatever flows to the top is much more same-y, and you gotta dig deeper for the interesting stuff.
I don’t think she got exposed to gamma radiation, she got a blood transfusion from Banner. So no, gamma radiation is still sexist.
I’ve got good news for you, it’s in top 5 best animated TV shows of all time, pretty much on every website that has rankings, and sits at 9.3/10 rating on IMDB with 410k votes. A lot of people appreciate it very much.
Mid-2000s were also kinda nice. We got relatively capable pocket computing devices. Proper 3D games. Avatar: The Last Airbender. Music was not yet so… algorithmic.
Kinda downhill from there, though, ngl.
Sorry that I neglected your comment, but my response to the neighboring comment applies here as well.
I’m not saying it’s perfect, but it’s definitely not as “backhanded” as the other one. In fact, that “compliment”, especially in the context of the meme, implies they didn’t realize the person is transgender until it was somehow pointed out explicitly, because of the whole “wow, you’re trans?” part.
I kinda see your point, but I think context is important here. For many trans people, part of transitioning includes working toward presenting as their identified gender, and that process can take time and effort. So when someone says “you look good for a trans man/woman”, in a clumsy way, it might be meant as recognition of that effort, like saying, “you look exactly how you hoped to". Which is completely different from automatically assuming that all women are stupid for being women.
Isn’t this about “you look good for a trans man/woman”?
“You’re smart for a woman” is just straight up sexist and demeaning, while the former “compliment”, maybe not as flattering to some as the giver intends, does not imply any prejudice.
Due to some ancient meme I can only see this gif with MGS alert music in my head.
Now that’s husband-attracting outfit!
He will also never attract a husband.
51·10 days agoI saw list item 1 more as “I want my phone to last for 5+ years, so I will want to replace my battery eventually”, rather than “I wanna wreck my battery fast, so it better be replaceable”. Being wasteful with your battery like that goes against the spirit of Fairphone, IMO.
2.5 years isn’t that long to evaluate battery degradation IMO, and as you said, you mostly don’t even push your battery that hard. And the article even seems to imply that faster charging does impact battery life, it’s just that manufacturers consider 100w a sweet-spot between charging speed and battery degradation.
Isn’t that artificially colored?
