The director was an amateur, and he didn’t align the grains of sand with the grain of the film.

I’m aware of Lemmygrad, yes. FOSS is the reason why I joined Lemmy, and I was at least mildly aware of the developers’ philosophy. I wasn’t aware they were moderating all dissent.

I mean, I mostly look at memes, so I never noticed that. And .ml stands for Mali, the country. I didn’t know it was a dual meaning acronym.

Do you care to elaborate a bit more on what you don’t like about .ml moderation? I joined Lemmy before the reddit exodus. At the time I joined, .ml was the largest instance.

I’m from the USA, and when I first heard “digga,” I was certainly confused! It seems the youth say it even more than the generation that invented the phrase now.

Anyway, English speakers have an old phrase that is similar and might help some understand the usage of the word “thick” here. The phrase is “thick as thieves” - meaning thieves stick together.

As a beneficiary of anal, I disagree.

Would be funnier if it didn’t say “used” and only “junk.”

We don’t … Record and broadcast election venues? This would be weird. If some people did do it, only people at their specific voting site would see it.

If it comes to the USA, it’s too late. The recent outbreak has cemented in the minds of Americans that this is a Gay™ disease, and it only affects those pesky Gays. Therefore, the vaccine will be refused in even higher amounts than other vaccines. “I’m not a Gay. I don’t have to worry about it.”

Interesting, robot faces made with living skin have quite the opposite effect on me.

I’m gonna add to this by saying phosphorus may be my favorite, but I think the most likely filter is just time, twice.

Do you know how unlikely it is that earth has been habitable for so long? Do you know how long life was single-celled? One of the theories for how advanced (eukaryotic) cells formed was the combination of at least three different branches of life into the same cell! Archaea (cell wall), bacteria (mitochondria/chloroplasts), and viruses (nucleus). Do you know how unlikely that sounds? Do you know how long it would take for that to happen randomly? Most planets probably aren’t even habitable for that long. Once we became eukaryotic, we started progressing much faster.

Then, keep in mind, the life has to continue to exist for billions of more years while it waits for the advanced life to happen again within the same section of the galaxy. So, time is two filters - both behind us and in front of us.

My favorite filter is the amount of phosphorous in the universe. Earth has an unusually high amount, and it’s vital for life. I like this one, because as more stars die, the amount of phosphorous goes up, implying we won’t be alone forever.

Anyway, look up “Issac Arthur” on YouTube for HOURS of content about the Fermi paradox and potential great filters.

Results? No, no. I need the documentation of what happened. I’ll, uh, come to my own conclusions after that.

I don’t care enough about this to do the research. So, does anybody know which slur, in particular, he has now been repeatedly using?

I hear how terrible synthetic-ruber tires (read: all modern tires) are for the environment, and I’ve wondered why we can’t do this? If we made the cars lighter and used very good shocks? Or bikes even - they are all rubber too.

I had a coworker who was a night auditor at a hotel. She had two jobs, but night auditor was her “main” job. She really liked it, and she said it was mostly very quiet. At her hotel, the night auditor also checked in guests who arrived at night. She said she only had a few a night, and she worked in a tourist town.
