Different cultures and different people deal with this sort of stuff in different ways.

I wasn’t in NYC at the time, but I had been in the twin towers one month before the attack. I was working in London during the attack, my building for evacuated. Still, when I heard that a radio station had played “it’s raining men” during the attack, it was a big oof but also a very good if tasteless joke. And that was the same year!

The British have a great sense of humour for dealing with tragedy. After the 7/7 bombings, an old chap on the news was saying “I’ve been bombed by a better class of bastard than this”, and the next day office staff across the whole financial centre, at least, all lined the roads at 11am. Both in remembrance, and in defiance of the attackers.

Some people find stuff sacrosanct and feel it can’t be mentioned, let alone be the basis of a joke. And some feel humour is a way to humanise, process and deal with a tragedy. But let it be clear it is never mocking the tragedy or victims, it is usually looking for some funny angle on something inconsequential compared to the tragedy.

(Of course there are examples to the contrary, I’m giving an overall view of the reaction there at the time and since)

Ayyyy Come on guyyyyyy relaaaaax

Has. Autocorrect fail :)

I got an Amiga 500 in 1989 and adored it for a good ten years.

5 years ago I donated it. To a (computer) museum. That made me feel old.

The one for Predator is hilarious - done after the fact they can’t remember half the movie, and lots of amazing stories come out, such as the heat-camera not working in the jungle (as everything is hot) so they tried dousing the scenery in ice water, making the cast stand next to a fire, then quickly record it. It didn’t work well.

We know that this is from a series of texts that built on each other - many “facts” and feats attributed to Jesus were earlier attributed to Mithras and others.

The same “miracles” and other stuff get reused and applied to new prophets or supposed gods as they roll in.

Revanced app had the superior UI/UX.

Not because if taste, but because it is the YouTube UI that then allows you to add and remove stuff from the UI, getting away from all the user-hostile stuff. If you want to.

Cut and paste blurb from a marketing website from a manufacturer. That you cut and pasted from your top level comment which currently is at -30 due to it’s lack of actual sources or anything of value.

This is not helpful to anyone and you may be out of your depth if you think it is.

I am not taking a position on feeding cats vegan food. I am just pointing out you are arguing so weakly you’re actually doing your position a disservice.

So far the only “research” shared on this thread has been a marketing blurb from a manufacturer who makes this stuff.

Not sure the people arguing for this are able to actually conduct research, let alone post about it in an intelligent way.

Starting a post with “Wrong.” and listing a few items that support your view is… Well it gives me Reddit energy, not a good thing. ;)

Here are some counterexamples that negate it: “I’ll be ready in a couple of minutes”, “it’s a couple of miles away”.

This does not always mean exactly two. I mean, if you just want to yell out “it always means exactly two!” Then that’s on you, but in the English language everyone else in the world uses, it often means two, but can also mean around but not exactly two, depending on the use case.

Look on communities for stable diffusion or flux. The latest stuff is eerily good.

Weird intersectional porn.

The mainstream ARE the crazies now, though. The outliers, and only some of the outliers, are sensible, smart people.

I did with my S10+, so you definitely could more recently.

Having said that I’m finding the crud much reduced on my S23, like they don’t try to push bixby down your throat every 10 seconds.

Kudos for sharing this. Hopefully others can learn from it too.

You need to read the room. Some subs lean more one way than another, along every axis.

It’s not “the internet”, it’s other people, so you do need to treat them with respect, your own wishes on how to behave don’t overrule theirs. If you get banned, you obviously didn’t read the room.

Pretty sure it’s going to be some kind of “tipping” system, where it can be traded for real money.

Cue massive invasion by bot farms, this always happens when there is money to be made from posting/generating something. It’s going to go downhill so fast.

I think you didn’t understand my comment. " thousands of lemmy users being drowned out by millions of Threads users, who are a different demographic, have different goals for the platform" specifically.

This is not the case in places outside the US.
