Because it’s fiction. It’s theater in order to gain clout. Just like what Bondi does. Just like what Fox News does. It’s just attention farming.

I hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way, but… does Lemmy want to become Reddit?

A few years ago when I first tried Lemmy, I had a lot of the same criticisms. I had no idea what instance to choose and was agonizing over it, until I saw a comment that said “it doesn’t fucking matter what instance you start with. Just pick a big one and get going.”

After a couple months of browsing and getting familiar, I now have multiple accounts on multiple instances and use a couple of them frequently. I don’t need one single identity on a social media platform, and because karma doesn’t matter, I jump ship on my accounts whenever I want.

At this point, I don’t think I want Reddit users to migrate over to Lemmy. A lot of the problems with Reddit come from their users. Lemmy has a far better culture than Reddit.

The user experience of Lemmy could improve, but there’s an assumption that Lemmy should be a kind of “Reddit killer”, but after a few years of using Lemmy, I could care less about that.

This is so fuckin real. SO listens to Bigfoot cryptozoology pocasts while going to sleep and half the time I wake up to creepy ass conversations about demons.

No thank you!

My sister verbally attacked my spouse out of nowhere. Later during our drive home she said, “I’m so sorry you had to grow up in that environment.” I nearly cried.

Don’t hate me, but Breaking Bad

I think about this all the time.

Cremia and Romani’s failure state is so sad :’(

Acquire your wages!

You are not a buzzkill, I think. This skit had a couple of things going for it:

1. Halloween can always use more “mascots” and this is one.
2. I admit that I originally didn’t like this skit, but my brother-in-law did, and I like him, so after watching it I always think of him until eventually it became something I genuinely liked.
3. I quote lines from this skit to my SO all the time, so it’s become kind of embedded into my life.
4. SNL during this time wasn’t very funny to me. I think that since SNL sucked during this time, even moderately funny skits ended up exploding in popularity just because they weren’t the usual onslaught of comedians stumbling over their lines and ruining jokes. Weekend Update was pretty funny, though.

So in short, my friend, it’s not really funny. It was a moment, and you may have missed it. But let me say this, I think you’re cool for kicking off Spooky season…

… Almost as cool as DaViD ESS pUmKiNs!

At first I read it as “y’all Mexicans” and was a lil confused

Will Sasso is a treasure

Knew a pastor who this happened to. He was adamant that he was part Native American. After a DNA test it turned out he was zero percent Native American.

He was big enough to embrace it, tho
