Is it possible? Sure.

Bruce Wayne is in The Joker as a 10 year old kid, and Bruce Wayne is in The Batman as a 30 year old adult. A 20 year time jump allows for a lot of things to happen. Any inconsistencies can just be explained away over the 20 year gap.

Which is sorta the problem with speculation in these threads. We can say “Trump said X”, but really his decisions are based on the number of hamburgers he had that afternoon or which voice whispered in his ear last. We only have wild speculation.

Like, how the fuck is this even a close election?

Accelerationism. That’s how I… understand? interpret? rationalize? it.

If you think things are shit, which is an understandable view depending on the “things”, and you don’t see that changing, you just say “fuck it”. Now if someone calls your candidate “crazy” or “unhinged” you just go, “Of course, that’s what I want”.

Add to that, no one who supports accelerationism thinks it will affect them. A crazy new world will fix their world and only hurt the “bad people”.

And I say all this knowing that it doesn’t really make sense.

Should you moderate like a bot? No.

I’m human, your human, the community is made up of humans. Act like a reasonable human, and yes, you get to define what is reasonable.

If bots could mod, we would just have them mod, but that would suck.

In terms of rule bending, if it’s in good faith then let it go. If you want to remind someone, that’s fine.

I don’t hate the idea, but it adds unnecessary confusion, so I can see why it was dropped.

Also if the plan was Jedi not being attached… that changes the future character arcs.

I wouldn’t classify every monolingual person as trapped in an echo chamber

Simply being something isn’t an echo chamber, you have to have a thought or opinion being shared by the group. If every person you interact with only speaks one language, and they all share that one language is the best method of communication, that’s an echo chamber.

Use social media how you like

I agree. Although it is useful to be aware of your own biases.

the solution to echo chambers is going outside and touching grass not forcing yourself to interact with every community on the internet.

Assuming you don’t mean literally “touch grass”, the solution is seeking out opinions/thoughts outside of your echo chamber. That doesn’t necessarily mean forcing yourself to interact with terrible communities, but being aware and understanding (but not agreeing with) them.

Although I again refer to using social media how you like is fine. No one needs to be exposed to certain communities. It’s not wrong or lazy or bad to ignore certain communities or viewpoints, especially toxic ones. However you should be aware that they exist and it can be helpful, if you choose, to understand where they come from.

As a harmless example, if you don’t like brussel sprouts and none of your friends like brussel sprouts, it may benefit you to try brussel sprouts or to seek out and talk to or read about people who like brussel sprouts. You can still at the end of the day dislike brussel sprouts. You don’t have to change your opinion. But now your opinion is more well rounded.

So far, there is only some user settings accessible in the web interface. I don’t have an iPhone, hence I cannot say for their app. The android app will come later, apparently.

I don’t give a shit about TikTok or short form video but legitimately how is this expected to succeed with these limitations? Clearly people like this stuff but can a fediverse service really afford to be iPhone only? This truly seems doomed to fail.

I dunno, asking a friend is the right thing to do. Demanding things is how I ended up with a body in the first place.

we can get random experts chiming in about interesting topics

Lol we have that now… just be sure to phrase your question in the form of a Linux distro.

But to be serious I do think we’re heading that way, but it’s going to take a long time, likely as long as it took Reddit (if not longer).

“You’ll be dead,” Swisher noted, to which Downey replied: “But my law firm will still be very active.”

You can have a will and an estate, but if your estate fucks you over is there anything anyone can do about it?

It’s not technically what you mean, but during the first Doctor Strange film he gets injured and teleports himself to a Hospital. I seem to recall he gives a diagnosis of himself to Christine Palmer while he is in his spirit form, since his body is dying.

Finally, Smell-o-vision. Truly the future is now.

I’m glad no Midseason break and the trailer is self aware.

I didn’t mind the change in animation, but the original was much better.

Seismic Toss, but only Charizard from the anime.

Charizard throwing mo’fuckers is awesome every time.

Jokes on the witch, I brought my own finger-licking good taters with me into the cauldron. I keep them in pack 'round my waist.

Plus she’s boiling me frog style, so it’s going to take a while for me to notice.

I post more on Lemmy since I think people will actually read what I wrote. I used to post a lot on Reddit too, but that was MANY years ago.

However one of the big reasons I post is to hopefully get the conversation started. I figure with zero comments someone is less likely to post. With one stupid comment, someone might respond.

I’m a big John Mulaney fan, but Netflix has a bad track record when it comes to weekly talk shows (which is mentioned in the article).

I expect one, maybe two seasons and then a cancellation.

Hopefully they follow the John Oliver method (and Hasan Minaj before) and put (most) of them up on YouTube.

I’ve seen technically less than half but “Coming 2 America” is on my TODO list, so more than half eventually. Of the nearly half I’ve seen… I’ve seen worse.

For anyone at work, “penis gorillas” drawn in black and white best describes the above image.

Anti skub.

Get that jar outta here.
