Those MAGA nuts can't touch my chill. I exist on an instance that has downvotes disabled.

Meh, I have no faith Disney will responsibly handle the screamingly obvious gay subtext to Gaston and LeFou. At best, some coy hints at it while staying minimal enough they don't have to cross the MAGA nuts

Good call. As the scene opened I thought they were siblings. The chemistry was so bad (and Luc Besson is such a pervert), I still wasn't sure after the first scene.

My sister's network is named:

Ce n'est pas un réseau

Free Fire (2016). Not my jam. It felt like a fan boy attempt at a Guy Ritchie story. And the shots of the main location, which takes place in a big warehouse, don't contain enough reference points so know where all the characters are at in any given moment. It was disorienting and made the fight scenes that much more difficult to follow.

Big World (2024) Chinese drama about a young man with cerebral palsy. This one is a tearjerker.

Shrek (2001) to celebrate its 25th anniversary a little early. Still such an impressive movie, I think a small, B-run studio would still be happy to put out that CGI work today.

I upvoter things I like or unique takes I disagree with that still seem interesting and in good faith.

I intentionally joined an instance that disabled downvotes.

Flavored sparkling waters. My kingdom for a La Croix.

I read about the Fediverse years ago and opened a couple accounts across a couple platforms. As I expected at the time, too low volume of people to really keep me engaged.

I stayed on reddit until same as everyone else here; they killed 3rd party apps and mod tools. I was a mod on a small, friendly little niche hobby sub. It started getting overrun by bots and MAGA types who wanted to make every post about guns and women staying home to serve their husbands. Good members started leaving the sub and I turned from having fun to loathing it very quickly. I created some fresh Fediverse accounts and made the move for real.

Yes, I moved a couple years ago as one small step to remove Amazon in my life.

I know there are other alternatives, but StoryGraph met my needs and I never looked further.

Upon switching, they have import tools to help transfer your GoodReads read history and your TBR list into StoryGraph.

Once there, they have recommendations and giveaways, and challenges, similar to GoodReads. I'm by no means a power user but have not found any features missing from StoryGraph that I care about.

Anyone I've ever heard talking about the non-aggression principle spat red flags faster than a machine gun.

At best, they're truly so dense and unsympathetic they don't recognize actions that aren't directly or intentionally causing harm do still cause harm (example, the free state project people leaving food out for black bears "because they can" without thought for their neighbors who then have to deal with more bears). At worst, it's rape apologia (crap like statutory rape doesn't exist because that minor "totally asked for it" and the rape didn't cause physical damage).

What a fun read, ty. I went to the Talk page hoping for some back and forth about ensuring the description of the project was unbiased. Nope, nada, surpised there aren't any free state project fans within the ranks of Wikipedia editing volunteers who would have something to say.

Breaking news: Tarantino still an unpleasant, unhappy human being.

For someone who so obviously gets the big truck = little dick trope in his movies, he sure is incapable of introspecting and realizing he's doing the same thing.
