Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.cato Fediverse@lemmy.world•Just started a community for those who wish to move away from LemmyEnglish301·1 month agoPeople can always find problems if they look hard enough, lol. There are probably some legitimate complaints about Lemmy, but nothing is perfect. I find their messaging weird though. Like, you can be pro Piefed without having to be anti Lemmy. Seems needlessly combative to me.
Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.cato Fediverse@lemmy.world•Just started a community for those who wish to move away from LemmyEnglish25·1 month agoIt appears to be a Piefed community. You can see it on Lemmy through the magic of federation though.
Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.cato Android@lemdro.id•Review: The Minimal Phone wants you to hate phones, and it worksEnglish1·1 month agoI meant in the comments. At the time I posted there were only two other comments and both in the negatives, but nothing else. The post was, and still is, decently upvoted.
Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.cato Android@lemdro.id•Review: The Minimal Phone wants you to hate phones, and it worksEnglish1·1 month agoYou ever try any Spritz reading apps on it? Spritz is an e reading software that displays one word at a time at whatever words per minute you choose. Good for speed reading, but for some reason it’s controversial amongst my reading friends lol. My Boox Nova 3 can play videos, so I’m sure the Palma has the refresh rate
Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.cato Android@lemdro.id•Review: The Minimal Phone wants you to hate phones, and it worksEnglish3·1 month agoWhat all do you use your Palma for? Can you get any third party apps on it? I have a Boox tablet from a few years ago and it’s great for taking notes, but a palm sized eReader has been pretty alluring to me for a while.

This is why I only listen to flac versions
Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.catoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Get you a man who looks at you the way the head of homeland security’s husband looks at you when she gets the question “what is habeas corpus?” Completely wrongEnglish160·2 months agoWow, like not even a little bit right.
The secretary responded: “Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country.”
Same energy as the boy wolf girl wolf post, lol.
I love from-the-hip judgements like this. Absolute (and completely unfounded) confidence in something you don’t know. Glorious.
In the future, you can throw the image URL into a service like TinEye and get results like this. If you sort by oldest you can usually find some context.

I took a bunch of pictures of me and my cat just before we took her to be put down (cancer sucks). I obviously looked pretty upset in all of them. Like, three months later my phone put together a slideshow of misery to celebrate the occasion.
Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the weirdest dream you remember having?English3·3 months agoI was involved in a very vicious street fight. It was incredibly violent and frantic, with blood everywhere. It was more of a free for all instead of me taking on like nine dudes. I’m not a violent person at all, so it was really distressing. Some big guy lifted me up and slammed me against a wall, so I reached out and gouged his eye with my thumb. It was awful. I could feel the shape, and it was all clammy. It was so against my regular self that I burst awake. I thought it was still going on though because I could still feel it on my thumb. Turns out my hand was in my shorts, and the clammy eyeball shape was a part of my male anatomy.
you PACK miette? you stow her body like the laundry? oh! oh! jail for mother! jail for mother for One Thousand Years!!!
I choose you, Dummythiccachu!!

Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.caOPto Memes@lemmy.ml•MRW my meme complaining about a sexist trope is removed for being sexistEnglish7·5 months agoYeah. Like, maybe I’m misinterpreting the ruling, but it sure seems like the mod thought the meme was sexist. For the life of me I just cannot understand that perspective. I was trying to explain my feelings towards the trope in a way that I hoped relatable or understandable to the common person. That’s what memes are for, lol.
In the original R&M scene Rick is literally the villain. He abuses his power of creation to make a machine seemingly capable of independent thought and feelings, and then condemns it to a menial existence. The humor is derived from empathizing with the poor little guy. That feels like a perfect metaphor for the refrigerator trope to me.
I could have instead posted a purely academic analysis of the trope, but that’s not exactly a meme is it?
Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.cato New Communities@lemmy.world•Underground Music Discovery - a wide variety of lesser known music genresEnglish5·5 months agoWhen I first navigated to the community it said 0 posts, but when I refreshed they showed up. It still said 0, but I could see them. Leaving and coming back fixed it though. I don’t know if that’s on Lemmy’s side or the app I’m using (Boost).

If you sexist a sexist then the number of sexists remains the same.
I keep forgetting about the dev issues, lol. Deffo legitimate problems one might have with a software for sure. I don’t run into that a lot over here on Lemmy.ca though, which is nice.
I stand by my assessment though. It’s still weird to me to promote one thing by shooting down another. Feels too much like politics in North America to me. They could have made a “Support Piefed” community instead.
