First possibility that comes to mind is a backed up federation queue on lemmy.world for some reason.

It could also be some failure on sh.itjust.works, but if I had to guess I would say it’s more likely an issue on the sending end.

Honestly it seems like a fine solution on both sides.

“You have secured yourself an honored platform and you interact with it. Please buy me my own honored platform, so that we may remain as equals in the matter of the computer. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Ones I have not seen in other comments, although you probably have enough at this point:

• The Fifth Element - Yes I know the director is a sexual predator, it’s still really really good. One of the most creative movies ever made
• Run Lola Run - Surreal modern-style impossible narrative movie from way before movies really did that, also very well done
• O Brother Where Art Thou - Damn, we’re in a tight spot
• Schindler’s List - Warning, very very very heavy obviously, but there is a reason it won all the awards
• Conan the Barbarian - You may or may not like B movies, but if you like “Sword and Sandal” B movies, this one is the king
• The Sting - Absolutely top-notch gangster movie from before your parents were born
• Office Space - If you have ever worked a crappy tech job this movie will become your spirit animal in time of need

I’ve also heard great things about “Highlander.” Don’t watch the sequels.

There are also miniseries. “Stranger Things” season 1, “Chernobyl,” and “Game of Thrones” up until about season 5. Yeah, it’s a shame they never made any more after that, but you can just let it be. You’ll know roughly when. If the three female assassins from Dorne come on the screen, you went too far, just turn it off immediately and be sure to take a shower right away.

Edit: Additions

This is a remarkably good list. I know you’re getting a ton of recommendations OP, but this is really a very comprehensive one with an absolutely excellent balance of “real good quality” combined with “easy and rewarding to watch.”

There was a little cat that used to accompany me on my walk home from work most nights. I would walk through this pretty quiet neighborhood, and the cat if he was outside would run up and walk along with me. Like “Oh shit, we buddies, let’s go on patrol together.” Eventually, it would be too far and he would take his leave. Then, same thing next night.

Wonderful stuff, man.

That oughta fix it

Yeah, dental issue. Sure.

“Fuck off I don’t like you, I’m happy out here, it’s where the birds are”

Edit: A counterpoint, Matt Damon told an entertaining story about adopting a small cat that they found more or less in the jungle during a vacation, pretty injured but generally fighting to survive. She hung around and ate the food they gave her for a couple of weeks and they decided we have a cat now.

He thought that they would take her home, get her veterinary care, and she would become a little jungle-cat terror of the neighborhood, but he said that once they got her home she literally never went outside again.

Haha yeah I am super exotic traveler, clearly

One of the best meals I have ever had in my life was some ceviche from a little hole in the wall place in Honolulu. Never had tiradito but I assume it is top tier.

How in the world is Mexican / South American food not on this list yet?

1. Mexican / Colombian
2. Probably Thai

I have never seen a bright blue eye like that on an orange cat. I think Photoshop is definitely a possibility, but also, sometimes nature just does a wild artistic cat for all of us.

Cat: Am I a punchline to you? I murder motherfuckers for a living Jessica

Because right-wind ideologues have gotten super skilled at hoodwinking the common people into thinking they’re on their side.

Yeah. I’m pretty sure the edition I read did not include all the strikeouts and misspellings, but for some reason the machine text I could find did, and I like this version of it better.

I was intentionally being a little bit cryptic, but it’s from “Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72,” from the November chapter. It is one of the absolutely crucial books to read if you want to know about the American political process, at least the 20th century form of it.

Well, let’s include this, with the following message to whoever originally wrote it: We hope you’ll get in touch with Barbara Burgower at Straight Arrow Books in order that we may properly credit this piece of writing and carry the customary copyright of permissions and acknowledgments in future editions of this book.

senator mcgovern had hinged his lxxxxcxx whole campaign on oppostion to the vietnam war, xxxxxxxxxxxx hoping to pursuade americans of its immorality and awakenong in them a sense of outrage and shame, he tried to demonstrate that the continuing american presnece in vietnam, the bombing and the xxxxxx suport of what he denounced as a corrupt dictatorship was an indication of xxx a xxxxx moral collapse in the x united states. He did not balme the people but the nixon administration / but the people did not xxxxx respond to his appeals, ironically yesterday morning he voted here in support of a local xxxxx proposition to outlwa the killing of a small bird known as the @mourning dove@ last night, as the nixon landslide gathered momentum that is precisely what heorge mcgovern became—a mourning dove.

i xxxxx asked him if the worst happened whether he would run again and he said: @emphantically: no i will not. i shall stay in the senate but xxx someone else will have to carry on what I began.@

frewuently in the last two weeks, senator mcgovern had spoken of a young p black man who xxxxxx predicted that the election was going to break his heart because he was going to g find out that the american people were not as high minded as he thought they were/typically, mr. mcgovern challenged this view, x saying that he believed in the goodness and decency of the people and that they would respond to their own consciences.

but the election did break his heart after all. he thought he saw xxx faces glowing with hope xx that the country would aim for higher standards, yearing for peace and an edn to the domestic anguish. but the voters turned their backs on him.

I saw an ad on YouTube for what a good job ICE is doing not that long ago. Kristi Noem was in it.

More disturbingly, I’ve noticed a little scattering of those “police bodycam raw video” channels starting to play up when the criminal involved is an immigrant, what their status was, how ICE was involved, and so on. There’s clearly something at work that’s a little more subtle and sinister than just paid advertising.

Ah, that explains it. It didn’t sound like a quote that would come from the real UN. Maybe in some other, superior timeline…

That’s wild, I never knew the origin of that last sentence.
