It was a blend of a bit of quirky humor followed by a more profound message that Kamala Harris attributes to her mother: “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.”
Please read my comment again. Particluarly from the point “…from the very few roles they COULD take…”. Also, there might be a case for historical accuracy and sensitivity, but sorry, the magic man flying around with his zappy hammer film doesn’t fit this criteria. Also, Hamilton says Hi!
No actor/actress should have their pool of potential roles made vanishingly small because of a thing they can’t change, the colour of their skin! And then on top of there being very few roles for people of colour in western pop culture based on your criteria, the very few roles they COULD take are often ALSO given to white actors/actresses in bizarre acts of whitewashing idiocy! It’s infuriating! Talent, passion, skill, training, these should be the kinds of factors involved when choosing who gets cast for what role, not where you fall on the colour wheel! It’s just crazy to me that it’s even a consideration at all and in future people will look back and be incredulous that it ever was!? At least I hope that will be the case, as we are making slow progress in that direction.
Nah, I’d be like, go on! Do you associate that song with a particular event, person, time or place in your life? When did you first hear it? In what context is it your fave? Have you ever heard it played live? What was that like? Could you ever imagine another song taking its place or is it too sentimental or ingrained into your very being?
Basically a question like “fave colour/song” is often a simple test. The kind of answer you give should indicate whether or not the topic can be opened up or expanded upon or even just indicate if you want to talk to this person at all right now. If you answer “blue I guess”, and look completely disinterested or “insert massive pop hit of the moment” and leave it at that, then they know to go about their day or try another topic like “So what about that sportsball game/weather/current event?”. But you might give them a nuanced answer that will lead to more conversation.
It is handy to have a simple, 1 dimensional responce if you want to shut down the conversation quickly or direct it to another topic.
Great post idea! My list is based mostly on nostalgia for a certain period of time in my life:

Hoppípolla - Sigur Rós
October - U2
Kleiopedia. Named after Kleio the Greek muse of History. Alternate spelling derived from her Latin spelling is Cliopedia but I personally prefer Kleiopedia. She was often depicted with a scroll or a chest full of books.
I have good news! If you wait around long enough your comment will eventually become 100% correct while mine will become weird and just flat out wrong?!
No no, you’ve got it quite wrong, they only have 22.4k karma not 24k! 24k would be insane!!?
Our table loves Owlbear R2 but AboveVTT looks incredible?! We actually play in person, all use D&D Beyond on our phones for our characters and project Owlbear scenes/maps onto the table (miracast over wi-fi from an old windows PC to a cheap 1080p projector) and use a mix of physical minis and condition rings and digital props & AoE markers. The DM has Owlbear open on a tablet to load in scenes and maps while I use a keyboard and mouse to help with zooming the map, placing AoE markers etc. It all sounds completely mad now that I type it out?! It works for us :-D
Oh god, the cringe is strong?!
Yeah, same and for the same reason, to be more engaged than I have been elsewhere. I mostly switch between All / New or Subscribed / New. I can see that changing if things get much busier.
Thanks for the recommend! Very nice looking app 👍
This feels like it should be cross-posted to !minecraft@lemmy.world but I don’t know how to do that? 🤔 Hopefully a few people start looking around for an alternative place to hang out. Even if 0.5% of that sub moved over to Lemmy you’d have a really stong community here!
You MUST re-open the community you helped build over the years for free so that we can earn BIG monies on teh ads!! Make us monies for FREE slave!! We pay you NUTHIN! You work hard for USSSS!!! Work when WE tell you too!!! foaming at the mouth with rage
I’ll have no choice but to close a store.
Yeah, because hiring staff back and getting rid of self help checkouts is impossible?? How would they even go about that?
Or, and here’s a radical idea, drop your prices so people can actually afford to pay for the food??
Yeah, all I got was something about security reasons & some fan almost drowned swimming out to Leonardo’s boat to say hi?! Personally I’d say good riddence BUT I would say the local economy might take a hit?
It was her great great grandparents
So because you will be able to generate game assests easily without weeks of modelling and texturing etc games will be waaaay cheaper to buy right?… Right?…
