The only time I enjoyed a toxic fan base was for the show Under the Dome. Everyone seemed to hate watch the show and it made the whole thing more fun. The toxicity had the benefit of not being about social issues and just about how the show wasn’t high quality writing.
Off the top of my head, one thing people hated is that the main character hurt her leg and wore the bandage over her jeans.
Man, I should rewatch that show.

Skylar being in this group is low-key insane. She cheated on her narcissistic drug dealing murderous husband. The rest of these folks are murderers or magical torturers.

At the very least, it might be nice if they ask you if you want to go there instead.
On the other hand, I’m just happy that Google Scholar hasn’t gotten completely destroyed by SEO yet.

In fairness, I was thinking specifically of plants. I expect better results when looking up “S. lycopersicum” than “tomato”.
An example off the top of my head is saying pyrite instead of fool’s gold.

scholar.google.com is where you want to go.
Also, in my Google-fu experience technical terms work well for finding better scholarly results.

I’ve heard the best thing they created in Game of Thrones that had no direct book influence was Arya and Tywin’s storyline.

Forrest Gump is one of the many stories that could use a two viewpoints from both the guy and the girl like they did in 500 Days of Summer or The Affair. It’s much easier to sympathize with someone when you get to see the story the way they experience it.
- Comment on Does the rest of the English speaking world generally understand what an American means when they say "soccer", or does it help to clarify by adding "football"? 4 months ago:
People in the USA would probably reword that sentence as “And North America is in the Americas.”
It’s similar to how North and South Dakota are called “The Dakotas,” not “Dakota.”

I think you’re right about the glasses. At the very least they’re probably better than that frying pan. The more I think about it they might be right under that penny.

I’ll do you one better and rank these instead.
- Lucky Penny
- Caffeinated shoes
- Fatigue masking mask
- Frying pan of flavor
- The cool glasses
- Underwear of febreze
I really wanted to put the caffeinated shoes at number 1, but the lucky Penny sounds OP.
Also, the underwear is an unfortunate item because most people who need it wouldn’t choose it. It’s also the only item that could be simulated with one hour of effort a day (at most) for most people.
- Comment on Why shouldn’t I just give up on Lemmy? 7 months ago:
Lemmy.world is the first one I joined. I think everyone should have an alt on a well-maintained, large instance. A while back, lemmy.world was having downtime, so I made an account on a small instance. That instance went down weeks ago and never came back.

The Ferengi became warp capable before they allowed women to wear clothes. I think you’re underselling us.
- Comment on The TV streaming apps broke their promises, and now they’re jacking up prices 9 months ago:
Op-ed: Apps promised to free us from ad-supported subscription bundles. Oops!
I feel like that was never the promise. It was just incidental. When Netflix started out they were mailing people DVDs. When Hulu first started out it was free, but completely ad supported.
When Netflix focused on ad-free subscription streaming I think consumers just asserted that that was the standard they wanted.

Medical injuries definitely seem like a good candidate and I don’t know where pictures of medical injuries would be illegal.
