No it's the right flag, but you're right about it needing a thin blue line.

I've always been dyslexic with lefts and rights, or perhaps their names? Even now I have to catch myself most of the time when I say the wrong one.

I'm a little bad with numbers, that got worse after a head injury, so now I frequently confuse 6s and 8s in addition to the usual 'was it 2493 or 2349?' kinda things. As long as I double check my numbers I can do math right, but if it's just a number sequence, they get a little mixed up.

Mines very mild though, and I've met/seen people that take a solid minute or two to parse it when they're corrected.

I know a "NEET of 8 years" who basically won't try at anything because of this. I kind of feel like its an excuse to be lazy, but I can't say for sure.

That could go either way. I've heard (from family or friends) of people that have it so severely, they can't trust themselves enough to accurately read.

That said, it could also be an easy excuse to avoid trying, but ultimately without consulting or being diagnosed by an expert, you only have their word to go on as to the severity.

1 guy 1 jar, actually, but you were close.

I haven't seen the video but I read the interview (equally gross), and it's kinda like that. I don't remember it hitting the floor but he admitted that it got a little crooked when it was going in, which was one of the main contributing factors.

Apparently he had done it before (and continues to do so) with no issue because he filled them with water first, so the density counteracted the tension.

Also he was like 50ish when it happened.

I think this is true but more for just ~~online~~ shit in general

FTFY

Time to defederate an entire instance! Oh wait it's ml, Kaplan won't defederate them for some reason.

At least Vader admitted he was wrong.

Ahhhh that makes sense, I started learning basic in middle school to program games on my calculator, but never got very far into it.

 

I got 2 comments removed and a 1-day ban from lemmy@lemmy.ml (of course it's .ml ๐Ÿ™„) for violating 'rule 2', which doesn't exist, at least not in the sidebar.

I'm willing to consider that 'rule 2' is about discussing .ml, but the second comment was a definition. nutomic@lemmy.ml got his fefes hurt by a dictionary.

Thread in question: https://lemmy.zip/post/62996430

Edit: fucking lol I didn't expect everyone here to be a fucking hypocrite. As I've been told, Rule 2 on .ml is be respectful. Was OP being respectful when they insulted LW? Bunch of backpedalling ignants.

Edit 2: I've now been banned for 'trolling and genocide apologia,' from several dbzer0 communities. First off, wow, what part of me is trolling? Just cause you don't agree with me doesn't make me a troll. Second, at what point did I ever claim genocide is okay? Ironic that YPTB is run by PTBs.

 

Title. There's a bunch of users that I want to block because their content isn't what I expect from the community, but to block them would basically block their moderated communities too (I think? Correct me if wrong) and that would slowly reduce my feed to nothing.

Thoughts?

User below helped me solve it, the movie is Shark Hunter (2001). Neat movie about a kid whose parents died when a science vessel sank under mysterious circumstances. After growing up and learning about marine biology and such, he gets recruited to explore the wreckage with a team that discovers the ship and his parents were attacked by a megalodon.


Disclaimer: I know it's not Deep Blue Sea (1999). I also didn't see the beginning of the movie, and only remember parts near the end.

So the movie is about a team of researchers on a massive submarine or something similar in the deep ocean. They get attacked by sharks that are larger than average, and aggressive to the vessel. There's a moon pool big enough for a mini-sub to dock in.

A character supervising the moon pool walks onto a diving board and lays down on it to get a better view of something he sees. After laying down, one of the large sharks jumps up through the moon pool, taking the man and diving board in one bite before sinking back into the water.

Some details escape me, but the last 2 remaining characters hatch a plan, one escapes in a mini-sub while the other stays behind to kill the sharks by self-destroying the main sub. After the main sub explodes, killing the sharks, the person in the mini sub powers on their lights, only to discover an even bigger shark before arming their own self-destruct, before the movie ends.

At first I thought this might be one of The Meg movies, but I'm not sure those are correct. As I said, the moon pool scene is notably different than the one in Deep Blue Sea. I'm at a loss. I want to say it was on SciFi channel or maybe FX, but this was several years ago so I'm not sure.

 

When on Voyager I'm unable to create new posts/comments, nor can I see my own inbox/profile history. At first I thought I caught a ban, because I can do all of these things on a separate instance account (made at .world for testing) through Voyager. However, after more testing, I'm able to post/comment through Firefox on the original account, so it's not an 'access revoked' issue. Anyone else having this problem? This is the original account, for reference.

 

I keep seeing ZippyBot post articles in incorrect communities just because a website is named poorly. Most recent example is a post in 'gaming' that's about a TV series, and not even about a game adaptation, but about t-shirts.

I went to go and block ZippySlop and wouldn't you know it? You can't ban 'admins.' ZippySlop posts to a wide array of communities that I do otherwise like, and the only other option besides blocking Zippy is to block all of those respective communities.

As that would be time consuming and detrimental to engagement of topics, why can't I block ZippyBot. Before anyone sneers 'cuz itz a admin bruh,' Why is a bot even an admin anyway?!

 

I've seen headlines this week about Olympic skiers and the dangers of a bigger bulge/cup or something?

 

Planning on watching the new Superman movie tonight and Amazon has a 'bonus x-ray edition' but no details besides having the same runtime. Anyone able to explain the difference? Is it behind-the-scenes, or same movie with extra x-ray effects, or what?

 

Obviously all theoretical. Unless...

The following assumes that they're tiny humanoids with wings and no magic spells/powers.

What would you say the size range is for our tiny winged beings? I often imagine incredibly small, like AA battery size. Then my brain makes like a runaway train, thinking about things like logistics and plausibility (I know they're fictional magic beings but that's the runaway train part).

Once I get into that mode, I start imagining them bigger, to an extent. As big as a futbol, usually. All the various children's stories have them anywhere from palm-sized to as small as bugs.

I guess for imagery sake, imagine you had a roommate that was one, so you have to take their size into account for things like cooking and cleaning. What chores would be exclusive to each person based on size? Would they be able to lift/carry human-size objects?
