Hey man, I’m just glad that some people are getting some use out of these posts and I’m not annoying everyone to death. We’ll see how much longer that takes lol

No, I think their point was more the fact that it’s heralded by people as a great study but is massively flawed and with obvious outcomes. There wasn’t really anything stringent done in the documentary. Any impact it had was purely from shit people already knew. He had no controlled experiments and was an active alcoholic during it.

My point, personally, is that people who reference Supersize Me in any capacity as a valid documentary or study is someone who is either uneducated or a fool. There’s little difference in holding this documentary to your chest and referring to it or in doing the same thing to Joe Rogan or Bill Maher’s Religulous. It’s low-effort garbage that’s not made for intellectual consumption but is still used for it anyway.

That’s kinda problematic.

That’s my point.

Try it! Message that to my face on Discord!

I apologize for fucking nothing

There is no way in hell that’s real… but by god do I want it to be.

We just feel differently about how or what memes add to the fediverse. It really is just a difference in philosophy. As far as I’m aware, there are no serious differences. It’s just minor. Rimu and I had a discussion about it a while back and there’s no bad blood or anything, we see things differently on the Fediverse. Rimu, from what I can tell, prefers things to be a bit more conversational and discussion based. I like things to be a blend of discussions and memes. That’s really about it.

No clue. I don’t know Ruben at all, I’ve only talked to him a couple times in passing about Boost bugs. But given the work he does on everything else, I’m just sort of assuming. Dude is a king.

Anytime. Newfoundland is a fuckin awesome place with a weird and unique culture. Love being able to share it.

Well it’s hard to put into words. Instead, I’d recommend watching this 5 minute clip from the musical Come From Away as people are screeched in after having it explained to them. Typing this out will be impossible to capture the chaos, bewilderment, bizarre traditions and wonderment that comes from my silly little island.

The musical is a Broadway musical about all the passengers on the planes that landed in Newfoundland. Small town doubled in population overnight to help everyone out and the play is about that moment and the community surrounding it. As someone who lived through that myself as I was living in the area, it’s a fantastic play.

Here’s the clip. Up on Streamable and only there for 2 days because I ripped the clip out of the musical myself.

Your not entirely wrong.

I know that you’re close by because I didn’t need to explain what the fuck being screeched in meant lmao

Hell yeah. I’m just sad I couldn’t find a way to weave towel into something. I’ve been going through some shit and I am TIRED.

I don’t actually know and I’m kind of ashamed to admit that. I’ve heard that Voyager has got some early support but I know nothing about any other apps. I’m sorry!

I got one condition.

You gotta get screeched in.

Deeeeeeefinitely a little of Column A and a little of Column B lol

It’s not too bad. Pretty during some times of year, cold as fuck in other times. Newfoundland.

Piefed has a few extra features that I like and I know that the couple features that are currently missing are on their way. The development team is pretty quick to respond which doesn’t affect me a ton but I don’t want to support a shitty dev team. Which then lines up with the third big reason, the Lemmy devs are transphobic assholes. If I’m going to be posting a lot then I don’t want to be doing it using what they made.

Also Fxomt is convincing.

I would also love that but I live on an island in the middle of the ocean. Tends to be a bit isolating, unfortunately.
