If Trump tells you to stop doing something, then you’re doing something right.

Anything the government wiped from our memory

Fun. I learned a thing or two about Texas politics, too.

Thanks for posting this. I’d been reminding myself to watch it.

It wasn’t until I’d gotten past my “angst” phase that I finally realized it’s okay to respect Christianity as much as any other world religion (even if that’s no respect at all - just be fair about it).

There are lots of disturbing counter examples, but “love thy neighbor” doesn’t sound so bad. I wouldn’t mind if that was the kind of inseparable idea you’re talking about.

I’m grateful this trial isn’t happening in the US.

They do it to protect their feelings. They’ve normalized the use of something most people hate, so they want everyone else to adopt it, too. That way, they won’t feel judged, when they 100% deserve to feel judged.

I very rarely use the downvote arrow, because I know it upsets people. “Why” doesn’t matter to me. Lemmy is (mostly) a friendly place, and I want it to stay that way.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) has a great story and overall message. Sure, there are some corny bits (like the kid), but I think some of them were intentional. People forget that sarcasm and parody have existed for centuries.

TIL Nana Visitor was in MacGyver. That’s actually pretty cool.

If god is making a token gesture to combat atheism, its WAY too late.

I’m not even gonna read the story. I just agree with the opening quote.

I hope its at least twice as big as the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.

The whole reflecting pool fiasco

 

I typically go with 20%, but that’s just a guess.

 

I was expecting it to be just another post-apocalyptic drama, and I’ve seen so many mediocre ones that Station 11 wasn’t high on my list. I was very wrong.

Station 11 was well written, well cast, and interesting (if confusing at times).

 

Just about everyone looks better when they smile. It’s true regardless of gender. I don’t see where sexism enters the equation.

I feel pretty oblivious. What am I missing?

 

Is it because of the instance they’re posting from, some kind of “award”, or what?
