Most repost bots don’t last long because bot posts kind of aren’t content. Forum sites like reddit and Lemmy are great for the comment section and bots don’t interact. I see the appeal of user who wants to post THEIR stuff to both sites but even then, it kinda feels like reddit gets the content and Lemmy gets the scraps.

I don’t mean this as a put down. This thing is better than anything I’ve ever made. I’m just concerned after seeing it happen countless times here. I’m kind of against automated posting in general because it takes the humanity from the internet

Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile don’t necessarily makes the same music but they have overlapping fanbases who appreciate similar things. Mitski, too, but she’s a lot “singer” than either.

I like some of their stuff but it’s not usually my scene so I’m sure others will have better suggestions.

Also, I really like Gordi’s cover of Avant Gardener

Honestly one of the worst things about Lemmy is the reddit-reposting bots. It floods the fediverse with posts that disincentivize participation (most people don’t want to post a reply to a bot)

Not really an onion headline, more like Buzzfeed or boredpanda

Yeah and he was making good music until he became one

I’m not judging but that’s so funny considering Brian Molko’s famously shrill voice. “The music is awesome, but that singer…” Is a response I got a lot introducing friends to Placebo

Yeah…but only because he’s Johnny Cash. No way the cover was getting radio play if it was just some random old guy who recorded it

I’m not saying you’re wrong but I do think the love of this cover is one of the most insane popular opinions in all of music. I will die on the hill that if it was anyone other than the man in black, everyone would agree.

It sounds so, so bad to me. People say you can really hear the hurt in his voice but he sounds no different than any old man who used to sing but hasn’t kept up the practice. It’s warbly and honestly sounds like shit. The instrumentation is equally boring

People (not you) say there’s more emotion than the original but Trent Reznor sounds like he’s actively going through withdrawals, expressing several different emotions as the song evolves.

Sorry for the rant. I’ll cap it off by saying it’s equally dumb to me that the song is about pain and regret but Cash’s music video just…aggrandizes his life with a montage of classic Johnny Cash moments.

[edit] My original comment was a bit mean, forgive me if you already ready.

But I do want to say that I must have deserved a funny day because your reply made me laugh really hard, though maybe not in the way you intended.

You hopped into a silly conversation to accuse us of not taking antisemitism seriously.

And you gotta realize that this sarcastic overly-agreeable writing style you keep using is really not helping you beat the self-victimizing accusations.

I’m more than willing to change my behavior when I learn it’s actually insensitive. But earlier, you said you know you’re too sensitive and I agree. Why should I change for the 0.001% of people predisposed to being offended?

I appreciate that you were willing to change your mind on the first two after hearing the explanation

True, though I couldn’t tell how the combination of ingredients would prevent the label either.

And along with the combination restrictions, there are preparation restrictions, too. Gotta get Hebrew National when you invite Jewish friends at the summer BBQ as not all-beef hotdogs are kosher!

…damn now I’m nostalgic and want some latkes and [those folded up artichoke things I forgot the name of]

You’re playing the victim…again.

Have you always struggled with reading comprehension or is this a new development for you?

If you insist on getting the last word in, try to at least make it substantive

We definitely agree that nothing productive is going to come from any continued interaction between us here. I’m not backing down from my opinion that no one is making light of antisemitism and you’re too busy playing the victim to give me a real reason why I should.

Maybe we’ll get along in another thread. See ya there.

Bro. My family is from Skokie, IL. Like half of the people in my life are Jewish. I used a real example of someone “missing the point” for humor and their ethnicity is VERY relevant to my point that it’s not antisemitic to make jokes on the topic.

I have no idea how you get through life if your jimmies get rustled by two comments that weren’t in any way antisemitic. There are so many horrors in the world (including actual antisemitism) to get pissed about and THIS is the hill you’re gonna die on?

Arguing that Slimer wasn’t Jewish because he consumed ecto cooler, hot dogs, and books is funny as fuck.

No one in this comment chain was making light of antisemitism, though.

I feel like I’m about to ruin the joke but…what makes their comment so funny is that they’re (jokingly) missing the point and going off about something irrelevant with a fully-formed argument.

I fact checked in the first place to send to the same Jewish friend who once told me he hated Hitler…for taking that mustache style off the table for everyone. Not a guy you can accuse of not taking antisemitism seriously.

We’re discussing the ethnicity of a silly ghost character based on context clues the writers didn’t deliberately put in a film from 40 years ago, don’t take it too seriously

I think 1 and 2 are very, very clearly antisemitic caricatures but I’m also on the fence with the 3rd one.

I was an edgy 4chan user in my teens so I’m entirely too familiar with antisemitic comics. But I don’t think I’d even raise an eyebrow if I saw the 3rd one by itself. They kinda just exaggerate his existing features. His nose is just bigger, not hooked. The slimer one FEELS wrong but I can’t pinpoint why.

This comment is so funny I had to check: The ingredients seem kosher BUT they never got Kosher certification so it’s technically true.

And when I looked into similar packaged drinks, I found that almost none are kosher. Some of the same drinks ARE kosher when dispensed from a machine, though, so maybe it’s a preservatives thing?

Some very solid evidence that Slimer was not Jewish would be his glizzy gobbling. He didn’t ask the vendor if it was kosher, he just ate em.

My coworker sent me a screenshot of this the other day so I loaded a 2-page bid scope for a project. It spent half the time on the boilerplate terms and conditions

“Ah, so I see here that [my company] doesn’t run conduit”

“Yeah, that’s so true! It’s up to [client] to run the conduit before work begins”

“Right! Makes sense to me!”

There was also no option to save the mp3. You had to play it with the odd open
