Especially with the massive number of bots, it helps get user and activity numbers up a lot

I didn't feel like it got lost because of it, especially since it was all still in service of that message. Feminism isn't just about women either, and isn't the conclusion of his arc showing that he is kenough and doesn't need to to take the patriarchal male role?

Saw it yesterday and I really liked it. I think some people are kind of exaggerating how groundbreaking and subversive the feminism in it is, while it strikes me as fairly standard liberal feminism, but I think it was executed about as well as it could have been and I only cringed one or two times. Besides that it was consistently funny, occasionally moving, the plot was compelling enough, and it was all round a fun time. Also bonus points for having a Charli XCX song over a car chase.

I guess probably my biggest gripe would just be that the capitalism aspect of things was approached in a really shallow manner (maybe or maybe not Mattel's influence going on there idk), such that tbh I almost would have preferred it not touched at all, but this didn't hugely affect my enjoyment of the movie either because I wasn't expecting it to really go deep into that.

Diamond is kind of a boring gem anyway imo, I’d prefer something with more colour

I think people just kinda like to personify things, it happens all the time even with things that aren’t even close to human

Some apps show it but tbh I think it’s a good thing Lemmy generally doesn’t

The reason as to why here relative to elsewhere is probably because people here tend to be more into free software and privacy and things like that, and caring about those things tends to have an anti-corporate aspect, because of the way corporations tend to act, and aligns pretty well with wider anticapitalist beliefs

Also the devs and pre-Reddit influx population are anticapitalist so that kind of helps influence the trajectory a bit

Trying to, although with the time difference and with my schedule I probably won't be able to catch that many especially in the earlier stages

I was never really into calligraphy that much but for some reason Arabic calligraphy just kinda hits different for me so I’ve been thinking of looking more into that as I learn the language

I find it pretty relaxing to practise too. I’ve also known full CFOP for a while and I’m not learning any new algs so it’s something I can do pretty easily while listening to a Youtube video which is less visuals-focussed or a podcast or something
