⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did people refer to clockwise movement before the invention of the clock?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Also why the seemingly arbitrary graduations, 24 hours, 60 minutes, 60 seconds. If it was say 10 hours in a day, 100 minutes in an hour, 100 seconds in a minute, seconds would be close to the same amount of time. Same with latitude and longitude, why 360 degrees in a circle with 60 minutes in a degree and 60 seconds in a minute.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Barbie’ Becomes Biggest Warner Bros. Movie Ever at Domestic Box Office, Beating ‘The Dark Knight’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Yes female action heroes are a trope now. They’ve over-played it, but of course anything from Marvel or DC is going to be shit. These days they’re just movie mills pumping out the same old rehash.

The Alien movies made a female action hero seem natural. They did it right. There’s been a few others that have done it right. More have done it wrong.

I don’t know anything about the Barbie move since I haven’t seen it. I would like to see it but will wait until it comes to streaming. My wife saw it with a group of her friends and said it was cute and weird, but definitely worth the watch. So evidently it’s not in the same caliber as Legally Blonde.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm aware of kbin, mastodon, and lemmy. Are there any other federated applications out there?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

Do each app need to manually integrate with another app to be considered federated or is any app using ActivityPub automatically integrated to your app?

ActivityPub provides the framework, but the platform also has to support other platforms so it’s not automatic.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does this instance have a stance on right wing disinformation communities?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
The admin here takes a conservative stance on defederation. He doesn’t do it unless there are lemm.ee rules violations or network abuse. I haven’t looked at any explodingheads content, but if does not violate any lemm.ee rules and presents no network abuse it will probably not get defederated.

I agree with the lemm.ee’s admin philosophy on defederation and that’s one of the reasons this is my home instance. In general you can’t call for defederation just because you don’t agree with content. If it’s blatantly offensive then I suppose that would be valid grounds, but I would hope that reason is used sparingly. I mean discussion that’s offensive to you may not be offensive to me.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New bot rules, Lemmy 0.18.3, and a message about alternative Lemmy frontends on lemm.ee⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
No issue here on sticking with the standard Lemmy front end. I’m fine with that. Even if you hosted different front ends, I’d probably keep using the standard one. Also hope the best for you on the personal side.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨David Tennant Defends 'Good Omens' From Accusations Of Blasphemy: “People are very keen to be offended”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I just finished Season 2, have to say I enjoyed Season 1 more. Despite what Tennant claims the writers are pretty irreverent about traditional Christian views. He’s probably correct in saying it doesn’t outright promote Satanism, but it certainly takes it lightly. Doesn’t bother me in the least, it’s supposed to be comedic satire. Though if you subscribe to traditional Christian views and have no sense of humor (which there is a dearth of these days), don’t watch that show, it will make you really mad.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marvel Studios' The Marvels | Official Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Just an avoid for me. Marvel and DC were fun and entertaining when they first came on the film scene, but now they’re just movie mills rehashing the same old slop. Box office performance indicates I’m not the only one who feels that way. But nothing against people who like their stuff, I’m just done with it, like listening to the same old song too many times.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Oppenheimer’ Review: Christopher Nolan’s Epic Thriller About Father Of The Atomic Bomb Is As Frightening As It Is Brilliant⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
There’s certain snippets I hope I never see or hear again because they’ve been so overplayed. Here’s my top offenders; the snippet of the Kennedy speech about going to the moon before the end of the decade, the Armstrong quote first step upon the moon, the atomic explosions of WWII, the h-bomb test, and any portion of the song Amazing Grace. So what they’re doing is avoiding stuff people don’t want to see because it’s played out. I’d say that’s just good movie making.
