The thing is… RATM was always raging against the machine of trying to help people. Not that Dems are trying to be helpful. They want the status quo. But stupid fucking right-wingers can't intuit what it means to say that, "Some of that workforces are the same that burn crosses." They only hear, "Fuck you, I won't do what you're telling me."

It's like thinking Vader is the hero for throwing the emperor down the shaft. No, the Jedi was the hero. They're basically illiterate.

Edit: Literacy has more to do with comprehension of a sentence than sounding out words, though we're pretty terrible at teaching that.

The seashell scene in that movie is it what pushes it over to a great movie. They don't explain it, they don't know it, it's just a thing that people have to accept, qnd a lot of people can't. I kinda never thought too much about it, i just accepted it as this future thing, but i read things like you use it as a bidet, like one is water, maybe one is soap and the last one air to dry. Making them disposable never made sense to me, since they talked about the three seashells, as if you have to use it in combination or something. Anyway, i remember seeing an interview with Silvester Stallone and they asked him about the seashells, and he was like: idk, i assumed you use them like chopsticks and pull the shit out. I was kinda flabbergasted, because he has either never seen chopsticks or seashells

Screenshots, how do they work?

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 41 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

There are a bunch of goofballs on Lemmy and it is honestly really hard to tell who is joking on a meme or shitpost community from someone who stumbled in there all serious.

[–] pilferjinx@piefed.social 13 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

"Oh shit, what community did I post this to? Fuck it, we roll."

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I got destroyed by forgetting I wasn't in green text and said something was fake/gay to be all /s, and I was totally in the wrong community and got obliterated in the replies.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 6 points 11 hours ago

I accidentally replied to a post on womenstuff browsing all. Then I replied to OP saying sorry, realized that wait I just broke the comm rules again, and deleted all my comments in a slight panic. Oof.

Screenshots don't auto-update?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 24 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Everybody knows how screenshots work. The problem is social media's asinine policy of using relative times instead of absolute timestamps for some bullshit reason.

Put the blame where it belongs.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 2 points 5 hours ago

Man I remember when this started and I hated it. Now I don't think about it any more. But you made me think about it and I still hate it!

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Posted 2hrs ago! What time was that locally?

2020? Clearly Biden ruined RATM.

You may be experiencing what's known as deja vu, a neurological sensation linked to epilepsy. It's often not a sign of anything serious, but it may be worth mentioning to your doctor.

The Short he's wearing is actually a Pink Floyd quote. Mother from 'the Wall'. Very nice!

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 31 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

I'll blow your mind even more, that short is actually a shirt!

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 5 points 12 hours ago

And not even a short shirt.

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 21 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Remember kids, the first time you notice someone mention something is also the first time they've ever thought about it.

Another successful commenter instantly becomes a thinking expert

Is her mouth open because she's breathing without a nose

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 17 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Note that below, I am saying that Dave is using the informal logical fallacy argument from authority. He thinks that a "succesful" musician isn't a political expert, and therefore, their opinion may be ignored. Meanwhile Tom Morello is saying the opposite, that it doesn't matter.

One basic problem with argument from authority, where the person making the argument is not the authority themselves, is that they are saying that they themselves cannot make the argument. So, how can they know whether to trust the authority that they trust?

It's not a bad default position to defer to an authority on a subject that you know little about, but that is not an argument that you should use to counter other people who have an argument.

I really appreciate your thoughtful posts, always happen to learn something and/or glean some perspective. Have a great day!

As a former owner of a trash dishwasher I can confirm yoh can rage against the dishwasher as well as the system of oppression that gave you the dishwasher
