I don’t know why this is so goddam funny

The Naïve Witch of the North (South if you’re going by the original novel instead of the movie).

It’s not worth having a crisis over. It could be anything or nothing.

Posts like this are what the trolls want, btw.

I’m going back to work tonight after a few days off. There better not be Christmas music playing. I work in retail, though. I think I’m screwed.

Edit: just got to work. No Christmas songs! Yay!

I prefer the version by The Muppets. It’s the most tolerable version I’ve come across.

I’d be cool with calling them tȟatȟáŋka

At that point, Donner had been a director for over twenty years. He knew how the game was played. Hats off!

The victim was a billionaire, and apparently there were no serious injuries. This is a comedy.

Well, it hasn’t been entirely bad. Constantly reminding myself to add qualifying statements is something I don’t miss, but rewriting my comments for improved clarity is good. It’s easy to forget that English isn’t the first language of many Lemmy users, so I’m in favor of being more specific about the subject, instead of using words like “they” or “it” too much.

Also, there’s a good chance that people are reading my comments while they’re on the toilet or watching TV. Maybe they’re not paying 100% attention lol. A little extra specificity doesn’t hurt!

If that’s all it takes to drive them away, then we’re probably better off without them. We don’t need people who post with the sole purpose of “earning” karma.

Defensiveness. Overexplaining myself because I didn’t expect people to give me the benefit of the doubt, and I knew that if I left any room for interpretation, people would assume the worst version possible. (I didn’t know what “sealioning” was.)

It’s important to remember that this had happened slowly, over a period of years. If it had been as bad as it is now back when I first signed up, I wouldn’t have put up with it. Initially, reddit just seemed like a bunch of normal (but sometimes weird) people. It wasn’t until I discovered Lemmy that I realized I wasn’t being myself, and that every time I posted, in the back of my mind, I was expecting the worst.

Good riddance.

It took me a couple months to fully leave years of bad reddit habits behind. I didn’t realize how deeply ingrained they’d become. The toxicity had gradually snuck up on me.

An odd combination of mysterious, ominous, and boring as fuck.

So… of the employees who sold shares before the warnings, what laws did they break?

It’s kinda cute. I wouldn’t buy it, but I’d happily borrow it.

OMG. That trailer was one of the most cringeworthy things I’ve ever seen. Wow. Thanks for the laughs!

Gotta admit, I’d at least give the first episode a chance. It’s unlikely to be worthwhile, but the idea could have potential in the right hands.

Now that I think about it, I’m surprised this didn’t happen sooner.

As much as I love science, and I’d much rather see billions spent on a collider than war, I gotta admit this is funny as hell.
