This year would be my 25th. Never been invited to a single one. There have been several, as a friend has confirmed.

I'm not worried about ever seeing those assholes again. K-12 was spent being tormented for being different. Not something I need to relive.

If I was invited, I doubt I'd go. It's not even worth my time to flex on someone I couldn't be bothered to give a cold shit about.

I keep in touch with my real friends, always. No need to reuinte with a bunch of bigots who made my youth a hell in a box.

FarScape is amazing for a lot of reasons.

While not a special effect, I always loved the Muppet Show for its antics in particular. They did so much with practical effects, and they did it amazingly well.

Please enjoy one of my personal favorites, The Windmills of Your Mind.

I'm also going to nod at Peter Jackson's "Meet the Feebles" for being a methed out seedy underworld puppet variety show movie. The effects are super campy and cheap. It's spectacular low budget grade b nonsense that will make you go "what the fuck did i just watch?".

I work in IT and once had a manager of another department fire off an accusatory email to myself, my management, and a few other leaders, stating I had not fulfilled a request he sent at some point in the past.

It took little to no effort to show my management the email logs directly indicating he lied. He went so far as to edit the header info in the email chain to make it look like I dropped the ball on a certain date.

Accusing one of the infrastructure admins who manages the email server by falsifying email records is not going to lead to a good time.

He didn't last long.

It was some Francisco, yeah.

Don't forget rice a roni. Pasta and rice. I've heard some even consider this a treat.

Is this from gentlemen broncos?

My last experience with gopro was many years ago trying to get a firmware update for one of my hero 3's. The download links for the firmware was there, but broken. It needed the attention of someone on their web management team.

I tried to get support via email but was told I had to go to the community forums for the issue. I found a thread of dozens of other users also pinging support and complaining of a broken link.

That thread went unanswered by support for months if not a year or two. I think it eventually got fixed, but it put such a bad taste in my mouth that so many people reported that their site was broken and they just ignored it. It was probably something simple like a bad character in the page code somewhere. I decided I wasn't going to support this sort of behavior and have not spent any additional money with the company since then.

It's no surprise to hear they're struggling financially. When you cater to the premium market space, you have to provide premium service.

LMAO his eyes are pointing in two different directions

That's sort of what /all is. Unless you mean something like having a /lemmy community that discusses lemmy meta in general. Reddit actually had no communities / subreddits when it first started. That eventually turned into the /reddit subreddit as one of the many meta communties, which was then eventually set to read only, if memory serves.

I think this style platform has better engagement when a community has focus and direction, which is why you see smaller communities stay active and on topic here.

I don't think there's anything stopping anyone from undertaking the task of starting a general topic community, but on the same token, you need some direction and focus, otherwise it's probably going to be a challenging mess, both in terms of content and engagement. This is where reddit subreddits, and ergo, lemmy communities, originally came from. Prior to subreddits, it was just one big posting board like /all, which eventually led to issues like spillage and brigading and private communities.

You have me laughing over here.

It's more ergonomic for the reason that it's an easier, more natural viewing angle that puts less strain or stress on the body to view/use it. You don't necessarily have to agree with that, or yuck someone else's yum. Most of your issues are preference.

Did you miss the part where I said I wasn't a fan of the leather implementation? Because that would rule out most of those points.

Have an upvote for the effort, though!

While I'm not a fan of the leather implementation, I have to both agree that it's a placement improvement in terms of ergonomics, and it does look pretty cool. I think it might wear out faster, being exposed to the gripping area of your palm, though. I'd expect it to be difficult to wash your hands or handle dirty/sharp items.
