- Comment on Dedicated Lemmy Instance for movies and tv series 9 months ago:
- Comment on Are American tv shows stuck in Act 2 for their entire runtime between season 1 and final season? 9 months ago:
Hot take: Scrubs Season 8 was weak. Dr. Cox as chief was lame, the new interns were lame, the Janitor’s wedding was lame.
Season 9 was actually a bit of a dead cat bounce.

- Comment on How does someone with no experience learn to make food? 9 months ago:
The two basic steps to making food are to combine food and heat them.
Sandwiches and salads are examples of food that are only combined. Toast and poptarts are examples of foods that are only heated.
Typically, you start with something simple: pasta, eggs, etc. These are basically just cooking with little to no prep.
Later, you can start working on foods that need both prep and heating.
- Comment on I have just joined lemmy. What should I do next? 9 months ago:
Search lemmyverse.net/communities for any communities you may be interested in. Many of them have the same or similar names to reddit subs. Also, subscribe to !newcommunities@lemmy.world. Once you have a few, flip your feed over to “subscribed” and browse your custom feed. Occasionally pop back into All to see if there are any other good ones you may have missed.
If you hate the web version of lemmy like I do, check out the mobile apps, which tend to have a more reddit-like design.
And once you’ve done all that, the only thing left to do it shitpost.
- Comment on Why so many people get triggered about ads nowadays? 9 months ago:
90% of internet has always had ads
And we were content to be back when it was a single banner. But then they started flashing, and crowding the screen, and popups that got so obtrusive they would sometimes spawn forever and crash your PC.
You are almost certainly using a browser with a popup blocker, because advertisers can never just let it be: they need to become more and more obtrusive until they start harming their customers. Protecting yourself from ads is a necessity.
Every modern browser has that built in, and phones actively block most of it. Unless you’re surfing the internet on IE4 or whatever, you are already filtering a good chunk of the dreck, because someone else saw fit to protect you from it.
Yes, the internet has always had ads, and us not being ok with it is why you’re able to browse at all without infinitely spawning popups in front of you.

- Comment on When did Christians get involved in politics in USA? I was watching young Turks clip on youtube. There was an exmuslim guy he said pat Robertson forced Christians into politics. So when was it? 9 months ago:

- Comment on Where to watch NFL games this season (US) 9 months ago:
NFL contracts out to several different network/cable and streaming services, so you have to subscribe to several to get all the games. A digital antenna and NFL+ are probably your best bet to get the vast majority of games without a full tv package.

Yep, Dungeons and Dragons.
Essentially it was the while cast talking about how great movie theaters are and then they all say thank you and call you a hero. For buying a movie theater ticket.
- Comment on Marvel Studios' The Marvels | Official Trailer 9 months ago:
I wasn’t excited for this movie until now. I hope the body swapping shenanigans are for the whole movie and not just like 10 minutes, because crazy teleporting action scenes is where it’s at.
- Comment on ‘Barbie’ vs ‘Oppenheimer’: Which Movie Got Better Reviews 9 months ago:
Pretty much every studio is making their actors do these terrible promos. The D&D movie had it, too.
It’s just a commercial for Tom Cruise: whether he personally believes it or not is irrelevant.
- Comment on ‘Barbie’ vs ‘Oppenheimer’: Which Movie Got Better Reviews 9 months ago:
TL;DR: “They both got good reviews. Please spend money on movies again!”
