Lost_My_Mind

I tried to explain the concept of cute aggression to someone who's never experienced it before. It did not go well. They thought I wanted to hurt puppies.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's when you see a cute thing, like a puppy. And it makes you want to shake the puppy and hug him so tight that his body turns into liquefied puppy batter that splatters all over your face.

.....I'm bad at explaining things.

I just had an amazing idea, that I need in my life.

William Shatner needs to perform a spoken word rendition of "Pants on the ground", in the spirit of "Rocketman".

Let's crowdfund this, and make it happen.

For a creature that's known for their fashion choices of wearing a white sheet, you'd think there would be more racist ghosts.

They come from a time when it was socially acceptable to be openly racist. Plus, if you go back about 1000 years or so, it was socially acceptable to just murder entire villages because your people didn't like their people.

But anytime you see a ghost, it's always like "oooOOOooooOOOO!! I HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS ON EARTH!!!"

Like, seriously??? Why would a ghost give a fuck if his finances weren't paid before they died?

And, can we talk about ghostbusters for a second? That one judge was like "Oooh, those are the famous criminals that were brothers! I sent them to death row"

But meanwhile they look NOTHING like humans. But somehow he instantly recognizes them. Are we led to believe they looked like ghoulish monsters when they were alive?

And the librarian looks like a human corpse. So, still human, but, like, after her body has been dead a few weeks. Are we to believe she died, and then her spirit stayed inside her rotting corpse of a body and THEN became a ghost, and retained it's final form?

Either way......never seen a racist ghost. Which I think has to be statistically impossible.

If you look at how the USA has progressed, the south is STILL stuck in certain trends that affect current day society. It's why they're the bible belt, but states like Arizona and California aren't reffered to as "the south".

Geographically it makes no sense. California, Arizona, New Mexico, they're all geographically south, but that's not what that means.

And racism in the south is just so much more amplified than it is in other states. When you think about it, the 1860s are not THAT long ago in terms of societies.

I think we're still being affected by actions from those times. A family experiences hardship. So they raise their kid to not trust those that caused it. And that kid grows up and does the same. Without a break in the chain, it just perpetuates more of the same.

So we're only about 8 generations removed from that time. It's really not that much. And OBVIOUSLY slavery is going to cause racism.

But what if the slaves were left on Africa, and the plantation owners just had automated drones that did all the work?

What would racism today look like?

How is that even possible???

If he wanted to, couldn't spez just buy it, and make it serve as a redirect to reddit? I don't understand how SOMEONE hasn't bought/used this domain for fediverse purposes.

Maybe then she'll SHUT UP! Oh my god, is there a single person on this platform who doesn't get these messages every month???

Guys, you all KNOW what I'm talking about, right? Gonna have to go get Tim Misney on this case! And you KNOW what he DOES! eyebrows

Pretty sure Conan just took his show on tour, and his writting team was trying to come up with segments they could film in Germany, and Conan was like GERMAN DOMINATRIX!!!

And his staff was like "....what? We can't do that on...."

"WE'RE DOING GERMAN DOMINATRIX, AND TBS IS PAYING FOR IT!!!"

And so it was.

Like, he pops out of his little hole, and just.....his heart stops.

Do we get 6 more weeks of winter or not? Maybe we get an apocalypse instead?

Usually when I post a comment the spinny wheel takes 1-3 seconds. Today it's taking 45-90 seconds. So I reset my phone, thinking it's just me, but no.

Anyone else having this issue, or is Verizon throttling Lemmy for me?

Because let's say you're Tom Hanks. And you get TomHanks@Lemmy.World

Well, what's stopping someone else from adopting TomHanks@Lemm.ee?

And some platforms minimize the text size of platform, or hide it entirely. So you just might see TomHanks, and think it's him. But it's actually a 7 year old Chinese boy with a broken leg in Arizona.

Because anyone can grab the same name, on a different platform.

So I feel like I'm doing peertube wrong. I'm trying to find good content, but it feels like every single instance I find is just "here's the linux news, here's the new linux tips, here's the linux gossip, linux linux linux!"

And I do not give a shit about linux. I learned long ago that I'm not smart enough to figure it out. I just want to find the non-tech, non-video game content. I don't know what I'm doing. I want to search all the instances, all at once, and see what the system recommends.

I don't have a peertube account. I have a piefed account. I'm not against getting a peertube account, but at this point, it's ruining the whole point of the fediverse. If I need to register for a peertube account to have a decent experience, what's the point in having all these services be interconnected. Registering for peertube account would be the THIRD account I would have for the fediverse. But at this point, I just want to find the content.
