Where did all the 90 minute movies go? I'm up for a longer movie if it can hold my attention (I have the same problem of dozing off) but 90 minutes was the sweet spot. Especially because you could make a late night (10pm or after) snap decision to watch a movie and still be in bed before midnight.
I knew someone who threw themselves off a bridge. Well, I knew their sibling. I was there when the call came through from the RCMP that they were missing. Then the call that the body was found. To say that it destroyed that family would be an understatement. I remember that my friend had to go down with their mother and identify what was left of the body. They were (understandably) never quite the same after that.
I don't know if I support expanding MAID to people with mental health issues or not. I have a feeling their sibling would've found a way to kill themselves one way or another. Maybe something more dignified would've been easier on the family? I don't know.
I'm sure there's an argument to be made about not buying things you can't afford, but looking at the graph in that article, people are going to get fucked on mortgage renewals. Anyone that locked in for 3/4/5 years are going to be renewing between now and the next couple of years and going from BOC rate of 0.25% to 5% or more is going to hurt.
Someone I know is looking at renewing their mortgage in the next couple of months and they're already looking at a jump from 3% to >6%.
I'm really digging the realistic take on the yellow suit. I think it works well.
Also, I hope there's going to be a scene where he rips the sleeves off. Long sleeved Logan feels wrong 😂
I was trying a couple of Lemmy apps and hard committed to Connect today! Gotta say, it's the closest thing I've seen to RIF so far!
I didn't want to start a Feature Request thread incase someone has already asked for it, so I'll just ask here. Has anyone asked about getting a link confirmation prompt? It was one of the things I really liked about RIF. When you clicked a hyperlink in a comment, instead of immediately going to the link, a small prompt would come up with the URL and Go/Back buttons. It prevented people hiding malicious or misleading links in a hyperlink. For example, like this: https://i.imgur.com/T9AAccX.jpeg
It's kind of wild seeing three not-me posts today! Looks like we just broke 200 subscribers too! This place is starting to grow and I gotta admit, that brings a smile to my face haha. Cheers! 🎉
You're on thin ice posting food porn worthy stuff here 😋
I've been trying to kickstart four communities because apparently I'm a masochist, but I've posted more in the last month than I did in the last 10 years on reddit. It reminds me a lot of my first couple of years on reddit (circa 2010/2011) and then my posting died off because you'd either get drowned out by the noise (hundreds or thousands of comments) or ignored in favour of a one liner joke.
I've seen a lot of people comparing Lemmy to early reddit, and I don't necessarily disagree, but I feel like there's one important distinction between the two. Even early reddit was driven by karma. There just wasn't as much people >10 years ago. I find the lack of karma on Lemmy refreshing. How it's gone back to the old forum way of just counting the number of posts is fantastic. It's a weird habit to break out of though because part of me still wants to go "I got no upvotes, time to delete" or "I'm getting downvotes, better delete my post".
My backlog was getting low (which is rare), so I've stocked up to last a while, or at least until the winter sale.

r/place is an interactive art project run by reddit on April Fools. It ran in 2017 and 2022. Now they've brought it back for 2023 (it was supposed to have happened on April Fools this year, but various....things....happened). It kicked off again today and as expected, it's gained attention for the bad timing (protests, tone deaf admin, etc..) and people have coordinated to write "fuck spez" messages and other things (at some point, there was a guillotine + reddit's head).
