I would probably call them 'boards'. Communities is too long of a word imo and it makes it sound like the people subscribed all have some kind of shared culture or relationship. That definitely happens in some cases (there are subreddits which have built a community around them) but it's not universal.
But what are upvotes and downvotes? I would have assumed upvote is fave/star. Is downvote an emoji react?
Also it's not that it makes you a pre-cog, it's more that it makes you unstuck in time, Billy Pilgrim style. She was perceiving her life nonlinearly.
I love Arrival, it's one of my favorites. The scene where she meets with the Chinese general at the gala was chilling, I love how she herself is confused for most of the movie and formulates her plan in that moment, in collaboration with him. I also love that the reason for first contact is that the aliens will need help centuries in the future, that's a pretty unique spin on the usual story.
The piece about her daughter is interesting I think but it's not the strongest part of the movie. I was disappointed that they shoehorn the romance at the end and have her and Ian fall in love. Honestly I would have been fine never knowing who her husband was, because the poignancy of the story was her own personal choices about having a child.
One of the best games ever made, (you won't) change my mind. Some battles are super difficult though, you really need to be strategic. I hope you have a good time!
Should there be a word for 'white' or 'straight' or 'monogamous'? Should there be a word for 'able-bodied', or 'hearing', or 'sighted'?
TERFs brazenly use their own slurs, TIF (trans-identified female, aka a trans man) and TIM (trans-identified male, aka a trans woman). They don't care at all about respecting each person's chosen terms, they only care about ideology and enforcing their viewpoint.
I'm very frustrated by the apologists saying, "well, cis people don't necessarily identify with that term and we should respect that". It's not so simple, what term would they like us to use instead? They never offer one. They want the absence of any term, because they want to enforce an ideology where only they are normal. So they can make up any mean words against trans people that they want, but we can't even factually describe them with a neutral term?
Ok I'll have to try that tomorrow, cool.
Interesting, thanks. I don't see it when I look there though.

So maybe it's still local but it's being attributed to a remote magazine?
Do you mean like another kbin instance?
I'm also asking about remote Lemmy communities but I'm not sure if it matters or not, so my question may only apply to remote Kbin instances
The way I've seen this work previously on fedi is that people post "hey I made a new server, please boost for reach". That effectively announces the existence of the server to the network. It can be difficult to get noticed at first, if you are a single-user instance without many followers.
if other fedi projects are any indication, likely a unified API will develop. Mastodon's API is supported by most other fedi projects, so you can use mobile apps interchangeably. If Lemmy becomes dominant then kbin would have to implement an API to match.
She's painful to listen to. Can't string a clear sentence together and laughs constantly. Not inspiring or particularly incisive. Which is a particularly disappointing combo when Biden is the same.
