  • I support @cm0002@lemmy.world for mod.

    It’s always been a trolling community. From posting articles written by Tyler Durden (of Fight Club fame) to a mod that would ban you for “ableism” and turn around and say all liberals are infected with the woke mind virus, the community did not further conservative ideas. They wanted to present themselves as a space for respectful discussions but there was no respect. Just one side and a ban if you didn’t stay in line no matter how egregious the claims that were made in the post.

    The previous mod knew this. That’s why he was diligent to ensure that server admins never saw any reports. It became an echo chamber with extreme viewpoints that frankly the offline Republicans I know IRL don’t want to interface with.

    If not cm0002, then go ahead and shut it down.



  • Unlike western cinemas, in India, adverts are shown both before the film and during a 15-minute ad break in the middle of the feature.

    That 15 min ad break is what I’d be sueing about. Right in the middle of the movie? Asinine.

    When streaming started producing their own shows I noticed a huge change: the shows stopped building themselves around the ads that were no longer shown. No more mid-episode cliff hangers and reintroductions upon return every ~11 mins.

    How cheap would cinema feel if movies had to do that?









  • Yeah, the goal was to remind him that we know a past he wants to deny, but it came off as insulting him for who he is and where he’s from. It gave us the outcome we wanted (a pissed off Trump, and it’s arguable that he never cared about it) at the expense of using their own tactics against them (othering people because of factors they can’t control) and honestly it didn’t feel right.
