This community is great. I hope to see all you guys on wherever the new community ends up!

Got it, thanks! See you on wherever the movies and tv communities end up!
- Comment on alternatives to lemm.ee? 1 week ago:
Thanks for the recommendation! Do you happen to know where lemmy.zip is hosted? I’m trying to read the instance docs but can’t find it.
- Comment on alternatives to lemm.ee? 1 week ago:
I’m looking for the same things as you. An instance that isn’t part of the big instance fights, mostly leaves it to the user to block instances/communities (except for the illegal ones of course), uses the latest version of lemmy, and defederates from Threads. So far lemmy.zip seems to fit the bill. I’ve also been looking at infosec.pub (because my work aligns with it) and lemmy.cafe, but both are defederated with .ml, which I only wish to see because there are a lot of active non-political communities hosted there.
- Comment on How strong is fermented bean curd supposed to taste exactly? 1 week ago:
It’s definitely a taste that you need to acquire if you didn’t grow up with it. Did you just eat it as is though? It’s usually best as an ingredient for soups and sauces.
- Comment on Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets? 2 weeks ago:
Not sure if I remember right, and I’m happy to be corrected, but isn’t the stats for plane crashes/accidents skewed by the smaller prop planes? When I see the typical conversation that flying is safer than driving etc., and then one side points to the numbers for plane accidents, the counter to it is that most of those accidents aren’t the big commercial planes most people fly on.

Yup loved Minus One. I’ve seen most people rank one over the other, but either way both are at the top so I know I won’t be disappointed.
- Comment on SHIN GODZILLA 4K Remaster | Official Teaser Trailer - In Theatres August 14 2 weeks ago:
I missed this one in theaters and haven’t had the chance to watch it since. I might actually go see it this time if I don’t get lazy and just watch it at home.
- Comment on [Game Threads] 31 May 2025 Conference Finals 2 weeks ago:
Yeah it will be interesting to see if Hali can take on the pressure defense. Also, OKC’s guards are bigger, so not sure if guys like Nembhard and TJ can do the same pesky defense they did on Brunson.
- Comment on [Game Threads] 31 May 2025 Conference Finals 2 weeks ago:
Lmfao they forgot to interview Hali. I agree Siakam deserves the mvp, but they could’ve at least gave Hali the mic for a bit.
- Comment on [Game Threads] 31 May 2025 Conference Finals 2 weeks ago:
GG Knicks. Pacers just played harder tonight and they bothered Brunson enough to frustrate him into a bad game. Hopefully their pace and relentless defense can match the Thunder. Their emphasis on ball movement can also counter the Thunder’s blitz defense. The Thunder could smother Jokic and Ant forcing them to rely on unreliable teammates, but Hali will just pass it out and their team offense of moving the ball around can hopefully counter it. And they can also apply the same smothering defense on the Thunder.
- Comment on Stupid question: how does one watch old movies? 2 weeks ago:
+1 for Tubi. The have a bunch a lot of old movies that there’s a category for it. I even saw a black and white silent film there last I checked.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 2 weeks ago:
Because the statement is incomplete. It should be “hate small talk with certain people or strangers”. You can hate small talk with most people but at the same time talk with your spouse for hours.

Looks like an Igorrr music video.
- Comment on [Game Threads] 28 May 2025 Conference Finals 2 weeks ago:
Crazy how this Wolves team (with Kat) showed impressive defense by containing (not completely stopping) Jokic last year, and now they’re getting a taste of overwhelming defense and completely fall apart.

Your definition of village is the equivalent of a rural town in the US.
- Comment on [Game Threads] 28 May 2025 Conference Finals 2 weeks ago:
Wolves are rattled. Lots of missed easy shots and turnovers. I’m afraid this might be it for them.
- Comment on What's your ideal TV series length and style? 2 weeks ago:
I prefer 10 hour-long episodes. Anthology format is also cool. I’ve also become a fan of Andor’s 3-episode arc for a 4-week season.
- Comment on [Game Threads] 27 May 2025 Conference Finals 2 weeks ago:
The Pacers being able to keep up the pace (heh) even when their bench unit is in is what will allow them to give the Thunder a better matchup compared to the Knicks.

10 is the sweet spot IMO.
- Comment on 'The Last of Us' Season 2 Finale Viewership Down 55% From Season 1 3 weeks ago:
I guess it was a way to get us, the viewers, to guess that WLC was attacking their village?
Yeah, which was a weird way to do it. They could’ve just showed a quick scene of Isaac and co. storming the island then Ellie seeing some explosions from the boat.
- Comment on 'The Last of Us' Season 2 Finale Viewership Down 55% From Season 1 3 weeks ago:
What tripped me up in the last few episodes was how characters magically teleport to places and appear at the exact time they’re needed. I get that some of them happen exactly as in the game, but it’s weird in live action. Examples: Ellie getting out of the basement and Abby finding them in the theater.
Also, that segway on the Scar island in the last episode was weird. I get that they were trying to show she was given a chance at life yet she decides to continue on due to her obsession with revenge, but they could’ve done it better than that (i.e. She sees the explosions on the island from afar, the boat capsizes, she manages to get back on with a slight regret and hesitation to continue, looks at the shore of where she came from, then ultimately decides to continue on to the aquarium).

That’s the plan for the future. It’s easy to switch to induction for cooking. The bigger and more expensive switch are the A/C and water heater, which I need to assess (and budget) for.
- Comment on Just got charged for reading it 3 weeks ago:
The worst for me is my gas bill. My bill is usually around $50-$60 per month, and when you break it down, the actual gas I use is $3. The rest are fees.

I didn’t really follow Duck Dynasty. What did he do?
- Comment on Who here's watched house of dragon s2? 3 weeks ago:
My issues with S2 is the plot barely moved and we’re basically back to square one where S1 ended. Sure they needed to set up some stuff, but you don’t need an entire season just for that. S1’s pacing was better.
- Comment on Let's play this game again 3 weeks ago:
This can actually still be convenient if you need to be physically at work 5 days a week. No more commuting and waking up early in the morning except on Mondays. If you want to skip Monday traffic, take a quick drive on Sunday to your office so you meet the 24 hour criteria.

- Comment on How to check whether a particular url is safe or not ? 3 weeks ago:
Someone else already mentioned it, but virustotal can check if the url is malicious. It’s not 100% of course but more often than not it will catch a malicious url. It’s a quick and easy way to check on-the-fly.
