In my opinion, Dementus took away much from the story in “Furiosa” and left many question marks. I would have preferred to explore the dynamic and eventual war between Furiosa and Immortan Joe, leading up to Fury Road.

Thanks for sharing this! It’s appreciative to know there are people who actually can balance work and their hobbies.

I mean movies that are just like regular modern comedy movies but take place in a historical setting. Some examples include “The Little Hours” and “A Million Ways to Die in the West.” Furthermore, does anybody have any more examples of movies like these?

This is mainly directed towards those who have many and broad interests, who have somehow found a way to balance all of them more or less equally.

How do you manage to balance all of your interests that are so equal from each other? As somebody who plans to become a psychologist but is also interested in ethology, zoomorphology, archeology, and fashion history, how can I possibly engage in all of these things? Study independent courses? Watch Youtube videos on the subjects?

It just feels like there’s so little time but so much to do and explore.

You know how, today, we take inspiration or look up to “classic” films like The Godfather and The Shawshank Redemption? Well, what did people in the 80s/90s look up to? 70s movies? Black and white movies? What were seen as classics back then?

Hi y'all. Mod of MM heah. Would you guys upvote this or reply if you can see this post or the other posts. I just wanted a space to talk aböut Mad Max but Lemmy keeps insisting there are no posts YES THERE ARE!!!!

I’m a little stirred up and I don’t know why. It’s natural to watch that kind of stuff. But it somehow feels awkward now, being his child. I don’t know. Anybody got any, like, advice? On how to get over it? Dads? Children of dads?

Hey, at least it was labelled MILF and not young teenage girl.

For the males:

Could you imagine being in a relationship with a woman who takes on the “masculine role,” i.e. taking you out, taking initiative, being the breadwinner, protecting you, etc?

Asking because I’ll forever be searching for a man who wants this type of relationship. I don’t know. Reversed roles are sexy, sue me.

Title.

What did you like? What didn’t you like? Any character that stood out to you, or any character that you felt was missing compared to Fury Road?

Not sure if this’ll gain traction. Oh well.

Quite liked this guy’s performance as Immortan Joe. Good man. The actor, not the character.

Hi Mad Max fans.

Made this community mostly solely to ask this question. Since I can’t seem to attain a physical copy of this 2015 comic, does anybody have a PDF version one can download?

Thanks.

Hello all.

I am once again asking for your technical advice. Maybe somebody else will find this thread useful and ask about their preferences, too.

What I mean by "budget" is the price range of 300-600 dollars.

My priorities are as follow:

  • Great battery life (!)
  • Lightweight
  • Quiet fans and keyboard
  • Able to run Linux (!)

What I will use this computer for is:

  • Writing documents, viewing PowerPoints, the occasional call.
  • Watching Youtube and movies.
  • Scrolling the web and engaging with sites such as Lemmy.

I will NOT be using the computer for any coding, programming, video- or photo editing. The occasional gaming may occur, but it's only one lightweight game I play on Steam from time to time.

What I have been looking at so far has been: Acer Aspire 5, Acer Swift 3, and the Lenovo Slim Series. Unfortunately, I don't know much about computers so I can't tell if these candidates are worth considering.

Furthermore, I don't really know what Ryzen or AMD entails. I think Ryzen is more apt for gaming? In which case, I'll be an AMD user. As long as it's able to run Linux, no problem.

Sorry to dump my personal insecurities on you all, but what say you, Lemmings? What is your verdict?

Is there a name for this specific concept? Where somebody invents something (to do them good) but then that thing turns around and backfires on them?

Sorry, might not be the right place, but I thought I’d ask.

I’m looking for a FOSS app where you can create your own dictionary: insert words and their meanings, and smoothly sort them in different word classes. I tried out the app Kalimaty, and it’s great, except for the fact it’s subscription-based and does not have many options for the free tier.

If there is no such app like this, is there another way I can make my own dictionary? I have written the words down in my notes but because there are so many it’s hard to keep track of all of them and it slows the Notes app down.

Cheers!

*should mention I am on iPhone.

I’m a woman and still I find this meme gives me the heebiejeebies. Stop that.

And the time this dialogue took place during that same meeting…

In another account of the conversation, Alexander found the philosopher looking attentively at a pile of human bones. Diogenes explained, "I am searching for the bones of your father but cannot distinguish them from those of a slave."

In the USA, you usually pay for garbage collection services which are private companies that provide you trash and recycling bins

what the hell

Experienced this for the first time yesterday. It’s my dad paying for Amazon, and we mutually discovered we couldn’t skip the ad. Asked him, “aren’t you gonna boycott it now?”, and he told me no. “Not too much of an issue”, he said. This is the attitude that enables enshittification.

This kind of shit makes me sad every time I see it. Unbelievable the lengths some women have to go to get the medication they need. I am so tired of these types of doctors.
