Do the ultra-rich consume popular media?
  • IMO, Severance is even weirder.

    On Fallout they can at least say to themselves that they wouldn't nuke their city to get more power. But Severance is about exactly the kind of stuff that they do.

  • Companies spend hundreds of millions on them because they don't work.
  • Not so fast. The idea that "if companies spend that much, they must have a reason" isn't any good either.

    Some ads obviously work, some ads obviously don't work, and most of them aren't in either of those categories.

  • What your coffee preparation method says about you
  • I have the second one, it takes about 2 minutes to make a cup of espresso, most of the time unattended, I've had it for 15 years, and yeah, it took some time to learn how to use at first.

    I also use Debian, not Gentoo...

  • Where did it go so wrong for you guys??
  • It is just the most active posts.

    If there is a whoosh moment, it's this one. But technically, no, I browse by "new", and that's what I subscribe to.

    About You Tube, yep, it can change in a whim just by clicking on the wrong video and watching the few seconds it takes to discover it's some crazy piece of shit. Anyway, there's fun stuff there.

  • Best alien since Mordin Solus
  • The movie Gungans were already one of the most badass groups on the franchise. They are just unfairly portrayed by the focus on Jar-jar (however badass Jar-Jar may actually be).

    The Clone Wars just increase that by a few notches.

  • Where did it go so wrong for you guys??
  • YT basically just sends me comedy sketches and bad sci-fi shorts. Lemmy basically sends me memes about popular culture and science... And that's it, those are the feeds that exist, right?

  • As a developer that learned it once, a long time ago, naturally I sign to the pledge...

    I have some doubts if I should mark it NSFW.

    Why do all those US universities have dealings with Israel?

    All those student protests on the US seem to be about stopping their universities from supporting the Israel government. But supporting a foreign government is not a normal thing for a university to do, why do they do it?

    Is there some educational or research resource they get?

    What do I do with the !community@instance links?

    The links like !NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.world.

    I have had a pretty bad time making those work. I have tried searching for them at the communities page, and removing the exclamation mark and pasting them on my instance (lemmy.world/c/NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.world).

    Some times one of those works, other times my instance finds nothing. And if I go directly to the home instance of the community, it doesn't bring my login.

    What is the recommended way to use those?
