I dunno if "shame" is the right word, but Liz Truss resigned as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom a couple of years ago after only 50-ish days in office and said it was because she couldn't deliver on the issues she campaigned on.

Majora's Mask kicks so much ass. I gotta replay it some time this year. I tried out the Zelda64Recompiled version a few months back and was blown away.

I don't think it has to be all-or-nothing when it comes to caring about your rights. I care about my rights, but might still have to deal with a Windows PC for select use cases.

I have friends who undoubtedly care about their rights and simultaneously own an iPhone. Does it make them a hypocrite? I don't think so. I think it means that "caring about your rights" is situationally, and generally, really difficult to put into practice in 2024 and not everyone can go full RMS and completely forgo all cell phone use on principle.

Avatar: The Last Airbender. I could rave about it all day.

Also Gravity Falls like @swordgeek@lemmy.ca said.

I never watched Justice League much as a kid, but my wife re-introduced it to me as an adult and it's a pretty great mix of kid-friendly superhero stories with fairly mature themes and plotlines.

Additionally, a less awkward term than "kidult" is just "family entertainment". Shows/movies/books that can be enjoyed by a wide spectrum of ages.

Ah, that's funny, lol. I didn't finish watching this vid cause I decided to rewatch the slapping video when I recalled it a minute or two in.

Reminds me of this video from a while back where a guy cooks a chicken (and a steak) by slapping it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHFhnnTWMgI

It typically refers to any job where you're working overnight, like from midnight to 8AM.

Not my story, but one a friend told me.

Someone had the misconception that there was a huge, huge sector of labor dedicated to working in cemeteries in the USA. Like almost everyone knew at least one person who worked at a cemetery. This misconception arose due to the ubiquity of the term "graveyard shift" regardless of the actual job being performed.

I'm a fan of the classics: Parmesan, Cheddar, and Mozzarella, but my favorite changes depending on the dish. If it's cheese and crackers, Cheddar is my go-to. If I'm making a pasta dish, I tend to go with Parmesan and/or Mozzarella.

But my favorite cheese of all-time was a smoked ghost-pepper Gruyère that my wife got me from a local maker.

It's interesting to see some of the back-and-forth on this topic between different proponents of free software.

I listened to this talk by Linus Torvalds a while back and it relates to the GPL license used by the Linux kernel and why the kernel hasn't changed to GPLv3. Apparently Linus doesn't find this practice by Tivo and other hardware manufacturers to be an issue.
