Lemmy is an anus of a platform filled with lunatics.

Given that you think Putin is promising people immortality, I doubt it.
I’m not entirely certain you’re thinking straight. You’re coming off a little unhinged.
Age and maturity are not the same thing.
Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.
Yeah, in a nutshell…
It is, but teenagers and the emotionally stunted fall into it so they can feel superior.
It’s basically a diet conspiracy theory. It lets adherents think they’re special and have figured something out that regular people didn’t. That’s a lot more comforting than realizing they’re just regular people because they aren’t mature enough to see obscurity as a good thing.
I had no idea Rodney Dangerfield was playing such a key role in the South China Sea.
Take your meds, dude.
Okay, you asked for it. Here you go, served hot and fresh from the American Kennel Club:
“A high-quality dog food appropriate to the dog’s age (puppy, adult, or senior) will have all the nutrients the Finnish Lapphund needs. Treats can be an important aid in training, but giving too many can cause obesity. Give table scraps sparingly, if at all, especially avoiding cooked bones.”
Not only is your dog not some kind of special, mythical creature - you should be making sure it can’t access bones. Hopefully next time you’ll learn to keep your trap shut before you start saying dumb shit in public.
“Trust me, bro”.
Maybe talk to a vet or do some reading to verify literally anything a Lemmy user says. I’ve encountered more lunatics here than anywhere else and OP thinks his dog is magic and can only eat frozen foods.
Just sayin.
Nothing is stopping them from doing it, which is why when the cops get a report of someone pointing a gun at people they have no choice but to assume it’s real (unless it’s obviously shaped like a super soaker). If the person training their gun-shaped object on passersby points the gun at the cops they usually get shot because the cops aren’t willing to bet their life that it’s not some asshole who put orange acrylic paint on the tip of a real gun.
There are some hobbyists that paint their guns to look like a Nerf gun or a Nintendo gun controller. The general consensus is “it would be stupid to take this out anywhere other than the range”. This is much less common than the opposite: toy or pellet guns that look very realistic.
I think what they mean is that music has a wider range where it’s still “functional” for most people. Basically, more liberties can be taken with music than with storytelling mediums without people rejecting it.
I heard about her video on fucking NPR. Seriously.
All Things Considered did a little piece talking about how long form video essays are becoming more popular, but they concluded by saying that she did a bang-up job and had some good insights.
It’s not a standing ovation, but having NPR run a story on your video and compliment your coverage is pretty damn skippy.
Here’s a joke for you: A man is ROWING down a RIVER. He gets to the waterfall, and when the goes over the edge he yells “RADIO!!!”
So did I just disrespect you and waste your time, or do I get a pass because it’s so random and it subverts your expectations of how a joke could be structured?
Being weird, or quirky, or SuBveRtInG eXpEcTatiONs doesn’t give anybody a pass for their creations not working on a basic level.
Yeah, and there would have been a bunch of punchlines throughout.
Storytelling of any kind is about setups and payoffs. The comic has two actual, decent setups and zero payoffs. In fact all of the praise for the comic comes from people (including you) who explicitly said what made them laugh was what they "imagined*.
It’s the creator’s job to actually provide a good payoff at the end. Yes, threads can be left hanging. Yes, things can be left to the imagination. But in this case specifically both of those strategies are abused to the point that the only way this comic is even passable is if readers are extremely charitable and provide their own ending.
So post non-US centric content.
TELEKINESIS, BROTHER! AROOOOO!
