This doctor outrage was easily one of the top dumbest fucking things to ever come out of the USA. And of course it was all the right wing conservative people lmao. It’s just one thing after the other with these people. If they’re not angry that kids are learning Arabic numerals in school, they’re busy choosing 1/4 pounder burgers over 1/3 pounder burgers. But the doctor thing is definitely one for the hall of fame.

Ugh. It was a really fun idea returning to this story like 30 years later with a new generation but do they really need to turn it into a franchise now? Fkn come on Hollywood.

look like a girl, act like a lady, think like a man, work like a boss

Lmao holy shit. And it would be the South African side that does this 🤦‍♂️ I hate it here lol. The scary part is that this slogan had to have been seen by multiple people before it got posted on social media. And not one saw the problem.

Anything without a boss breathing down my neck. I want to be told what needs to be done and when it needs to be done by, then leave me the fk alone to achieve that however I see fit.

As a kid already, my three dreams were music, writing, or game dev. I’m really over the rockstar thing, I wouldn’t mind jamming in a band again but I don’t think I’ll look for success in that avenue again.

As far as writing goes, the state of ‘journalism’ and AI these days makes me almost glad I didn’t get a career in it, and being a successful author seems like almost as much of a longshot as being a successful rockstar.

So these days my dream job is game dev. Something that I could put music and writing and art and any other creativity into at the same time. I don’t want to make the next Skyrim. Goals for me are someone like the Stardew Valley dev that is now successful and can spend all his time working on his one love if he wants, or tinker with something new without any pressure, if he wants.

I feel like they’ve probably all got pros and cons and probably require a little research. I recently signed up here on lemm.ee and the sign up process seemed pretty quick and simple. And they seem to do minimal de-federating. But the flip side to that is you can’t upload any images for your first 4 weeks on the server. 4 fkn weeks.

And if I’d read that first, I might have reconsidered joining here. I think I’d rather be inconvenienced by sightly more in depth questions and a 1 day wait time for signing up than a 4 fkn week wait before I can even upload a profile pic and banner image.

Edit: in fact I’m gonna go as far as saying that it’s false advertising. They advertise as general purpose instance but seemingly can’t even handle a thing that about 50% if this type of social media entails. They should change their blurb on join-lemmy to “We would like to be a general purpose reddit-like instance but our servers catch on fire every time someone uploads a meme, so we should actually be doing something smaller scale instead of pretending that we can hang with lemmy.world”.

• Stardew Valley
• Skyrim
• ADOM
• Burnout Paradise
• Vegas Solitaire (or I think a decent Solitaire collection is a fair exception to that one rule because you can get many games out of a pack of cards)

Stardew Valley, Skyrim and ADOM for games that you can keep going back to over years and playing in different ways and still discovering new things. Vegas Solitaire for more of a mindless time passer when you don’t want something immersive and involved. Burnout Paradise for something in between complex and mindless and something different once in a while.

Edit: I hope I eventually get rescued though because there’s a LOT of shorter titles that I’d miss.

You pretty much answered this for me.

Absolute favourite:

Kiki’s Delivery Service. Character and story that I relate with most of our of all of the movies. I wish I’d watched it when I was a kid.

Other favourites:

• Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
• Pom Poko
• Whisper of the Heart
• Howl’s Moving Castle
• The Tale of Princess Kaguya
• When Marnie Was There

Almost favourites:

• Princess Mononoke (I don’t like Ashitaka that much by the end)
• Spirited Away (only because this is the only Ghibli that I ever came across in the wild before watching all of them, I’m over exposed to it)
• Earwig and the Witch (love the concept and general story, not a fan of the animation style and a lot of specifics)

I have not and I’ll definitely add that to my things to watch.

Last time I answered this with a weird rambly answer as I’m inclined to. This time, thinking about it, my answer is Cate Blanchett. Probably ever since I saw her as Galadriel in the Lord of the Rings movies. Hela in Thor Ragnarok was so awesome as well. I wonder if she’s as tall as she looks in these roles?

Yeah this is the answer that I came here to see. These definitely belong in this list. Cow & Chicken could be particularly unhinged.

I rewatch a lot of things that I enjoy but in recent years, shows that I’ve seen multiple times the most for various reasons like watching again with someone else are: iZombie, Doom Patrol and Fringe.

There’s also ‘neptunic’, which sounds like what you’re describing, plus attraction to androgyny.
