i know people on the Internet have seemingly impossibly boring lives where nothing ever happens to them - but this isn’t even that hard to believe

what? like the shoes?

god i’m dumb, instead of filtering out moe i blocked every moe lemmy by hand. it’s not like i didn’t use filters before either, it was simply a dumdum moment

that’s a very grim way of looking at goodness. Of course doing things you believe are making a positive change makes you feel good, of course helping your community makes you feel good, and it does feel nice to be recognised and known as a good person.

It’s a strange ambient idea in our society, that to be truly good you must suffer, and never find joy in the good things you do. Not to turn conspiratorial, but to me it sounds like a cope from actually selfish people who look at people who do nice things and think to themselves “they’re only doing it to be popular and feel good about themselves, why else would anyone do anything”

are 24h fast food places a thing??

the only “24h” thing near me is a pharmacy

wha?

i write down the ones that make me pull a “wtf” face after waking up lol!

my phone is only allowed to send me notifications if it’s:

• a human attempting to contact me

• weather

and only allowed make a sound if

• i’m watching a YouTube video

• i’m expecting a call

then i get into my mum’s car and her phone connected to Bluetooth reads out her spam email through the car speakers- 😐

you can permanently prettify it and sell all your stuff at the uh, forgot the name, but the one stand trader that accepts everything and has its own deck to make the booty transfer faster! (though idk if it’s still exclusive to captained ships? i haven’t played in a while)

RIP ship captain’s pockets

(unless you’re long past playing for the gold or you’re sailing an uncaptained one)

for a sample of such madness please try arguing with someone about a topic you’re very familiar with, and they clearly know fuck all about but refuse to learn or listen to anybody but themselves and their echo chamber!

it’s absolutely fantastic, my friends and i joined a steam family and they finally have 0 excuses to not play the games i’ve been recommending them for year (and neither do i)

that line sure is making it so the production company gets 95% of the profits.

Well, they’re negligible enough that the fact they exist wasn’t covered anywhere during my filmmaking degree, and i took all the extra business/law modules :')

And it was just the writers & actors right? What about all the editors, audio mixers, audio recorders, camera men, gaffers? riggers, vfx people, script supervisors, storyboard artists, props & costumes department, even runners! There’s just so much work to be done by so many people to bring a script to life, and we’re yet to hear of an editor/camera op/runner who lucked out by being a part of an accidentally famous billion dollar film and then never had to work again. Apart from producers, directors, actors, and writers sometimes - everyone’s work, though essential for audio visual media to exist, is rarely rewarded with a share of the profits it makes

Nebula has been slowly surpassing just “rebranded youtube content” so to speak. They’ve started financing films and plays like for Abigail Thorn, and they’re still true to their founding ethos. It’s no longer just higher quality youtube content, and i do hope to see them one day become more widely known and popular

i don’t think pointing out how it only has purely artificial sweeteners makes it better in any way

not to psychoanalise someone’s accidental journal/art project but perhaps the daily showcase of what they’re doing is pushing them to add more variety to their game choices?

I sure know if I were to decide to post a screenshot a day I probably would have more varied game choices than normal. Even if it’s a funny thing you do online the mere act of showing it to others adds a layer of performance, and it’d be a very boring performance to show myself playing picross touch or sudokucube 7 days in a row

and let’s not forget that piracy still allows for the most powerful form of advertisement - word of mouth. You might’ve not paid to watch something, but if it was good and you recommended it to your friends, they might!

back in the old Internet days the music studio Two Steps From Hell gained popularity nearly exclusively through piracy. I’m not even sure if they sold any albums before the widespread reupload of their music happened. I myself found out about them from a long deleted anime music video. And I have since bought several of their CDs and saw them live in Europe (after fans have begged them for nearly a decade to go on a tour). Would I have known they even existed if their music wasn’t spreading like illegal wildfire in the early 2010s? probably not, which would be a shame because they’re one of my all time favourite band-thingies idk how to call them

Pepsi max on the other hand testes like a mix of various household chemicals with sugar and a little vomit

i don’t have the slightest clue why people enjoy that “flavour”
