Episode one was really solid. One of the better episodes of the second half of the show. Pulls on all sorts of threads regarding class, social justice, and soft authoritarianism.

I’ve just binged most of the series in the past month or so after learning about it as a result of Steve Pemberton’s appearance on Taskmaster. I think it’s absolutely brilliant, although somewhat uneven. The episodes that hit are just superb, and even the ones that aren’t perfectly executed still tend to contain some interesting ideas.

First click the link. Then manually type 12ft.io/ in the URL bar, before the https://

I’m honestly not sure how it works because it doesn’t work when you share the link, but if you type it manually it does. Works on all sorts of sites too, but some sites have already opted out. Honestly the Firefox reader view that the other guy posted is even easier and more useful, assuming you use Firefox.

Thank you for sharing that; I also consider myself a radical moderate. In the context of a decadent and degenerate society, the term makes a great deal of sense.

Well said. As someone who is going to vote for Biden to keep Trump out of office, I harbor no ill will towards leftists who choose to reject the whole charade. One way or another, we need to bring down the system, and I don’t see any evidence that voting for centrist democrats is likely to incrementally move us towards a better system.

On the contrary, it seems more likely to me that Trump would potentially accelerate the evolution of society by fucking everything up so badly that we would have no alternative but to make radical changes.

However, given that I am unable to be certain of the future outcome of each timeline, I believe that voting for Biden minimizes the risk of a worst case scenario. But again, I don’t approve of shaming leftists for abstaining, because the reality is that both parties are colluding to maintain the status quo, and ultimately if Trump wins the election its not the voters who will be to blame, but the Democratic party for failing to produce a credible challenger.

Oh cool. I’m using Firefox and I didn’t even realize that. Good tip 👌

Wow, this is so dystopian. Late stage capitalism at its finest.

Btw if you can’t get past the pay wall, add “12ft.io/” in front of the URL and it should bypass.

Somebody should make a sticker out of this. I’d buy it.

This is a useful guide for formatting stuff on Lemmy.

Links are formatted like [text]_(link), except there is no space between the brackets and parentheses.

Every lemmy post and comment should have this button that I circled, assuming you’re using the web interface. If you click that, it shows the actual formatting of the post or comment so you can see how it was done. Like this

Well done sir

This is very strange, I can still see many of the posts from the community at various URLs, especially from viewing your account page. But the community itself isn’t showing any posts when you view it directly.

The Wee Free Men? I need to read more Terry Pratchet honestly, I remember reading that book as a kid and it was amazing.

If the inventor was known to be hubristic and reckless, it could be poetic justice. Otherwise, I think ironic is the best descriptor.

Btw, here’s a historical example of this happening.

Cool!

There was an instance at lemmy.beyondcombustion.net in the first few months following the API exodus, but it went down at some point. I presume the admin lost interest/motivation.

That situation definitely disrupted the establishment/growth of an active vaporents community on Lemmy. I’m sure there are plenty of ents on Lemmy and I think communities about trees are nice for bringing people together, as opposed to some other communities on Lemmy (mostly political stuff) that can push us apart at times.

P.S. You have a slight typo; it’s vaporizing, not vaporizering 😁

I love my Tinymight 2. Great all-rounder vape, highly recommend.

Dude, my birthday was yesterday. I guess early May is just a chill time of year

Yeah it’s pretty creepy but also surprisingly wholesome

From what I can tell, !coolguides@lemmy.ca has a fairly rigid set of rules, with a specific distinction made between guides and infographics. That’s great, I like when moderators take an active role in curating the content of their communities.

But I would guess that !coolguides@sopuli.xyz is possibly a response to those rules. Basically if your post got removed from the lemmy.ca community because it was technically an infographic, you could post it to sopuli.xyz community instead.

That’s my understanding of the ecosystem, without having spoken to any of the people involved.

Wow, that’s a powerful piece of writing. Good content.
