Same. Like, it honestly wasn't terrible, it was still fun and I still enjoyed it. It just wasn't as amazing as the intro.

I didn't even need the translation, I understood enough words that I got the gist of it and it made me laugh. How dare they be so correct.

Is this supposed to be a dig at guys with long hair? Guys with long hair are sexy. Not my fault you feel intimidated by their masculinity.

With Valerian I'd say you should watch the intro. Then turn it off. Unless you feel like watching some half-baked sci-fi eye-candy. The intro sequence with humanity's first contact and everything was beautiful and made me sniffly. The rest of the movie was pretty, kinda fun, but ultimately nowhere near as amazing as the intro.

God, I hope this doesn't spark furries vs weebs 2.0. That was unironically annoying as hell. Bitch-ass motherfuckers, don't you know that the furry community and weebdom have practically the same origin? If anything, the furries are the ones who've been around slightly longer.

Girl, I can't believe no one here is telling you that the behavior you've described is absolutely not "having a man that treats you right". Guilt tripping, trashing his own girlfriend while being with her, telling you to be unfaithful, ignoring your homosexuality...

Hell, the way you've described him makes me wonder if his girlfriend was actually schizophrenic or if he just gaslit the fuck out of her and ditched her when it started to catch up to him. Did you know her personally? Did she show signs of schizophrenia that couldn't be explained by gaslighting? Did he try to work with her through her potential schizophrenia? That'd be another huge red flag: if she showed signs of disability and instead of trying to work with her, he dumped her.

Don't do it.

You're just sad, hurt, and about to get yourself into a hell of a lot more hurt if you listen to this strange compulsion of yours. Chill. Take a deep breath. Find some lesbian chicks. There've gotta be dommy lesbians around you if you're in a somewhat populated area in the US. Make friends, fuck your friends, have fun, and maybe you'll eventually end up with a girlfriend or two (and maybe a trans puppygirl too).

Honestly, I'm pretty sure this is how my grandparents ended up MAGAts. They're old, in their 90s and their brains are fried. They used to be fairly intelligent, but they can barely think rationally anymore. They still managed to get out to vote for Trump somehow, even after promising everyone in my family that they wouldn't. They believed that the left is lying just as hard, if not harder, than the right. I don't know what their views are now that Trump is president again. I don't talk to them much anymore...

Wake me up when it has a furry mod and a mod that lets one sim go full fucking "rules of nature" on another sim.

The sim clones I've seen feel way too serious. Like they were made by the modders who can't resist dolling up their Sims and making sim versions of themselves to live out their lives vicariously through their Sims.

I don't want that. No one I know wants that. The people I know who are following these clones are only doing so because they're not actually interested in playing the clones, they're just hoping the clones will put pressure on EA to actually make good Sims content again.

Yeah, I can see how that'd get to you. I'd highly recommend seeing if you can get him to sit down with you and have a chat about this stuff. Based on what you've said, however, he does seem like a toxic person. I dunno what else to say. I've been on both sides of this and it sucks both ways. It sucks when you have to break off a friendship because they're toxic and won't address it, and it sucks when someone breaks off from you because you're the toxic one.

The only thing I can suggest is to spend some time talking, you know? Just... try to avoid sounding confrontational or angry. That'll potentially cause the two of you to escalate. If it doesn't work, then I'd consider leaving him but doing so with an olive branch: that if he works on himself then you'll be happy to be friends again, but that you need space right now because he's dragging you down. That said, it'd leave you friendless buuuuut... you could look around and see if there are any clubs, like gardening, automotive, books, etc that you might be interested in, even if it's just a passing interest. That might allow you to make some new friends in the meantime.

Edit: also, give him some time after you chat. If this is truly habitual then it might take some time and multiple reminders for him to "get with the program".

Yo, chill. Some people are really bad at time estimation. Some people forget about shit. Sometimes life just happens. He may not be certain why he's doing the things he's doing, or he may think it's not a big deal. Communication is important, but often neglected when it comes to male platonic relationships. If you haven't been communicating these things, do it. And be gentle. There's the chance that he may honestly be aware but doesn't know why these things are happening; he just hasn't said anything because you haven't.

I just said no worries I’m going home to bed.

Like this right here. No. You don't say this unless you mean it. Don't lie to your friends, don't lie to yourself. If it bothers you, say something.

And the most important thing about all this is to try not to be confrontational. Again, he may be aware that he's fucking up. It may be something he's very insecure about.

He responded with I said Wednesday it’s only Thursday stop sweating me 😂.

Like, this suggests to me that he may be aware and that it's possibly eating him. Or maybe he meant next Wednesday.

Is I keep that shit bottled up and try and be positive around other people and I genuinely always try not to dwell on negatives and use positive intent with people as negatively is crippling.

Also, take it from someone who used to do this, this is extremely toxic to yourself; and your friend's constant negativity isn't healthy either. You're both on the extremes here, it might be worth trying to help him find the good things by talking to him and pointing out the silver linings in things while asking him to let you vent when life's eating you up.

Afaik no one knows where the line between "human-made" and "machine-made" is, so AI-generated imagery is considered public domain (at least for now).

 

I recently saw a couple posts on techtakes and holy shit their members are, well, awful. Is this some kinda metajoke or running gag? Their members tend to have positive comment scores despite being massive assholes. That seems out of character for Lemmy which is why I'm confused and wondering if there's some kinda running gag I missed.

Leading up to his death:


For those of you outside of the community (and possibly wondering why the furry side of social media is on fire), Dragoneer did a hell of a lot for the furry community. FurAffinity is the largest furry art host and social network; he could have sold out and allowed AI, or made the site friendly to corporate advertising, but he didn't.

He intentionally didn't.

If he had, he probably would have been able to afford healthcare, but he didn't.

He died because he wanted to keep the site in the community instead of whoring it out to corporations, resulting in him not having the money for healthcare when he needed it the most. I wish I'd been more aware of what was going on because I would have chipped in to help (if he'd allowed it).

It makes me fucking furious that the US, the country with the highest GDP in the world by 10 TRILLION DOLLARS, still allows this to happen.

RIP Dragoneer, we'll never forget you. Wherever you are, I hope it's filled with fur, feathers, scales and wagging tails.

Hey, I recently received a 14-day ban from lemmy.ml for this comment:

While I suppose it wasn't the nicest thing I could have said, here's what bothers me. They cited rule 1 as the ban reason. Now, lemmy.ml's news community doesn't have its own rules section, so I was left to assume that they were applying the instance-wide "rule 1" which was, "no bigotry".

No Bigotry.

Apparently calling someone a tankie and a redfash accelerationist is bigotry? Are they seriously trying to equate being a tankie with being trans, gay, black and/or native american? Seriously? That's incredibly bigoted and offensive; and that's ignoring the fact that the common tankie idols like Stalin, Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-un are deeply intertwined with things like nationalism, ethnic superiority, queerphobia and the like.

Meanwhile, their modlog shows that they've dealt with multiple instances of actual queerphobic bigotry by removing the comment while also letting the user go.

Do we really want to be associated with bigots like that?

The thing that sucks is that there are communities I genuinely enjoy on lemmy.ml, however getting banned for bigotry after calling someone a tankie and redfash accelerationist while actual bigots are allowed to keep hanging out on lemmy.ml is like a slap to the face.

I'm honestly considering leaving Lemmy and social media at this point. It seems like my two choices are corporate-owned black-box algorithms populated by soft-spoken bigots and pissed-off centrists looking for an axe to grind, and FOSS-based federated platforms where you still have to tolerate bigotry because there apparently aren't enough users and interesting content otherwise.

Inb4 I start getting harassed by lemmy.ml admins or something.

Edit for people who are curious: it's not Photoshop, it's a troodontid mask made by Archesuchus for their "Weird Birds" series. Here's what it looks like under normal lighting conditions.

Not gonna lie, I really, really want one. But fursuit heads are expensive (I'm assuming the cost would be similar since that's basically what it is) and I don't have the skill or tools to make one myself. :c
