The fact that you don’t see that as a sign of the times sounds more unique to your own individual experience.

Yup. Lots of other celebrities, too. Full list for anyone interested: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls090808434/

Sorry, I guess I don’t get the joke and what it has to do with this topic? Sorry again, I’m sure it’s really obvious, and I’m still just too fucked up about the election results to really joke about it yet

Tilda Swinton signed the petition to allow Roman Polanski to come back to the States

Next time I’m in an airport food court I’ll try to really take in the view of the cinnabon next to the starbucks.

I feel like the qualifier is not necessary for this statement. Not everything needs that level of classification lmao. It reaches “I use arch BTW” levels after a while.

The second Apple rolled out face ID, I knew this tech was ready and waiting for forced ads

No, but deciding to comment is a choice you made, not something out of your control like something appearing in your feed.

I actually mentioned that in a comment above. Reddit used to be just as bad, if not worse indeed, but that doesn’t excuse Lemmy by any means. I do hope that it’s a good indicator that Lemmy will get better with time, though.

Goodness gracious, it’s almost like you’re commenting on the thread almost a day later and maybe the comments are a bit different now, as opposed to earlier.

It’s a lot like Reddit was back in the old days in that way :/

The undercurrent of misogyny is so so rampant on Lemmy, worse even than reddit was. Posts like this bring it right out. I can’t believe how many upvotes some of these red-pill-ass comments have. It’s really discouraging to see and often makes me too nervous to speak up on women’s issues here on Lemmy, lest I be absolutely brigaded.

At least the bear can’t use a keyboard and thus wouldn’t be able to try and bully me into shutting up on the internet, so there’s another instance where I’d choose a bear over a random man.

Following up with an “You’re right, I don’t know you”

Have been? It’s already done for the most part. AFAIK, there’s only one, maybe two companies still making phones with headphone jacks. Drives me up a wall, I fucking hate it.

I feel very personally called out by this as someone with ADHD lmao. Do not look in the closet of my craft/game room.

Cool nonsequitur

One of the only freed house elves we hear about literally drinks herself to death because she can’t ‘handle’ freedom, which was a defense of slavery back in the day.

Also, even more eerily, Joanne has tried to retcon Hermione as black. When you then read her as the only character to try and free the house elves, something everyone makes fun of her for, it becomes EXTREMELY unsettling. Even if she weren’t black, it’s upsetting, and not because we’re meant to see how problematic the Wizarding World is. May I remind you, Harry also thinks she’s being crazy for trying to free them, and he’s just as much of an outsider as she is. When all characters from all walks of life in a work believe the same thing like this, it feels very much like it’s the author who believes it and is putting it into the work.

But no one is investing billions into your dog’s shit, are they?

December of 94 here, same. All of my memories of that time have nothing to do with the trappings/culture of the decade outside of my Disney VHS tapes and the bean bag chair I watched them in

Only salted butter, as far as I know. The salt keeps it preserved. Unsalted needs to be either used promptly or refrigerated I’m pretty sure?
