I’ve read the book several times, and seen the movie twice. The film is excellent, and captures the “feel” very well. Don’t worry about blasphemy. You gave the book a fair, honest chance (and while the story is widely praised, the writing is not. You aren’t alone).

No need to deny yourself a great film! I’m excited for the sequel!

The alternative was worse. Most Presidential elections aren’t about picking the candidate you want - they boil down to who you dislike less.

Besides, I wasn’t “defending” anyone; I was simply pointing out a fact.

That would be true if we didn’t have an electoral college. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote.

I’d be too busy being surprised that Heaven actually existed, and that I made the cut.

I just learned this yesterday, and still can’t believe it. How can it not support hashtags? How do you find anything? Do they plan on supporting hashtags in the future, or are they on some kind of idiotic anti-hashtag crusade?

My nephew wants to buy a 3D printer, and I’d like to warn him. I’m worried that I’m too ignorant to do it effectively, though.

What is a slicer? What is Cura?

Thanks in advance, folks!

Microsoft reneged on promises it made in court…

If those promises aren’t legally binding, then why take them into account in the first place?

Fuck you, Palworld, here comes Donald Duck with a shotgun.

I don’t think I’m any smarter than average. Lemmy as a whole may seem that way, though, and two reasons come to mind immediately:

One, many of us have spent some time on reddit. We’ve grown up since then, and most of us have said “no more of that reddit crap, please and thank you.”

Two, people seem to have the patience to read longer comments, and think about them. I see more genuinely thoughtful comments here than pedantic ones where the subtext is “look how smart I am.”

This made me groan, but also laugh. Smartass.

No one else gets to choose your rock bottom for you.

Wisdom, right here.

Most definitely! I was laughing at myself as I wrote it, but posted it anyway.
