Not lifting a finger means the literal bare minimum: voting. In the face of evil shitstains like Trump, a third of the country couldn’t even be bothered to color in a quarter-inch rectangle in opposition, they just shrugged and let it happen.

…and that first half of this comment is more directed any onlookers who happen to wander into this conversation: As for you, your sea-lioning is glaring as all hell. Take that shit somewhere else.

It’s from the side bar to this sub - if you’re on mobile or something it might not be showing, but the rule states:

Hoping for the fatal removal of a few literal supervillians is significantly less violent than allowing them to run rampant on the world, imo, but I’ve been temp banned a few times over “advocating for violence” by pushing for the less violent of the two options. I’m kinda tired of being told to just sit quiet and pretty in the face of a surge in neonazism though, so… fuck it.

I’m not asking people to go full Inglorious Basterds on MAGA or anything… but if you’re one of very few people with the means and opportunity to take a shot at Hitler… please don’t miss.

Voted against it directly, voted against it indirectly in every smaller election I’ve been eligible for since 2016, phone canvassed against it, volunteer for local orgs that are targeted by it, and am vocal on and offline against the Nazi rhetoric currently taking over our government.

Why, am I only allowed to criticize evil if I’ve aimed a gun at it or something?

What about you?

Ooh, that would for sure handle viscosity better than IV tubing. Good call!

*expanded previous comment - original version was posted from mobile which is significantly more tedious to rant on.

And yes, more Luigis please!!

Against the government - no of course not. Against the handful of people driving it into the ground - absolutely.

… and what’s ‘fine’ is at the mods’ discretion. I’ve been temp banned several times for having basically this conversation. Thing is, the options on the table right now are sit quietly and let the Nazis continue to take over the US government (shit tons of violence on a massive scale), or in the absence of any form of checks and balances to include effective peaceful protests or voting: cut the snake’s head off (still violence, but the least violent option we have). …but pulling that trolley lever to take the less violent path is still ‘advocating for violence’ here.

We’ll find out soon if this comment crossed the line.

yep. in every single election, not just presidential ones.

Far more than lifting a finger. That alone puts you in the non-evil third of our population.

I mean, part of the answer isn’t against the rules: leave your cell phone at home.

Answering that directly would be a violation of rule #6.

What should the individual German citizen have done in the 1920s and 1930s to prevent the Nazis from rising to power and/or to resist them once they were in power? Cuz… that.

Sorry Ukraine. Turns out most of the US is either just fucking evil, or not bothered enough by evil to lift a fucking finger to stop it.

I really thought we were better than this. We’ve failed the entire planet.

Some toilets have a perfectly round bowl so they don’t stick out as far and take up less bathroom floor space - and they work fine, but only in bathrooms that anticipate the vast majority of its occupants to be equipped with a vagina. For those of us rocking a penis, those fucking toilets are horrible - sitting on that damn thing requires you to contort your junk around like some sausage-Houdini as you’re sitting, so that you can guide it through the remaining 2 square inches of open space not occupied by your legs or ass. Then when you’re actually seated, you still have to sit there and awkwardly hold the thing so it stays pointed straight down.

Fuck up any part of that, and the tip of your dick hits the seat or the inside of the bowl.

…and they must be like $3 cheaper than an oval toilet or something, cuz 99% of US apartments seem to be equipped with the round, vagina-only toilets.

Oval bowls are the way. No matter what’s in your pants, it gets the job done without the significantly increased biohazard risk.

I guess in fairness, the problem isn’t with their design, it’s with the people who purchase the toilets treating them as sex-neutral when no the fuck they aren’t!

I’m incredibly confused about how you’re supposedly to measure liquid laundry detergent with the cap.

You just gave me a stupid idea. First measure out the exact volume of detergent you need for one load - eyeballing it I’d guess 20mL (I’m notoriously terrible at eyeballing volume, so, grain of salt) - then get a 20mL syringe and some IV tubing (it’s got one-way valves, so when you connect a syringe to it and draw up, it pulls from on side of the line; then when you depress the syringe back down, it goes out the other side). Tie something heavy to the intake side of the line and throw it in the bucket of detergent. Run the other side of the line to just above the detergent receptacle if your machine has one; or near the door for you to just aim it.

Load clothes; pull syringe, push syringe, close the door, run the machine. No detergent dripping all over the place!

…detergent is probably too viscous as-is to go through IV tubing at an acceptable rate, so you’d probably have to dilute it with water first to thin it out, then adjust the amount you pull accordingly.

Water has both adhesive and cohesive properties, and this bullshit is one of the results. I hate it so much. Basically the bit of wwater in contact with the surface of the spout likes to stick to that spot; and the above that likes to stick to the water stuck to the surface and so on, making it kinda roll along angled surfaces even when it seems like gravity should be yanking it right off.

And they absolutely could shape the spout in a way that stops this - they just choose not to.

Never heard of the oil coating trick @DontRedditMyLemmy mentioned, but it makes sense - oil is hydrophobic, so that could eliminate the adhesion part of the equation; and without that moving the stream initially, its cohesion won’t be an issue either.

Yo, uBlock, see that little bitch ass window telling me to turn you off? Yeah, block element that piece of shit. Thanks bro!

…which is probably why Musk ‘has been wearing that kid as a hat ever since that CEO was shot’.

While I agree that it should be avoided if possible, making a kid watch his dad get assassinated is justifiable if that dad is 1) a literal global supervillain, and 2) using the kid as a meat shield.

Sorry Lil Timmy - it’s childhood trauma for you, or oppression for an entire planet. If you have a shred of decency, you’ll grow up to hate your dad just as much as the rest of us.

Apparently LoTR - which gets major bonus points for depicting its male protagonists as consistently not toxic - fails the Bechdel Test, HARD.

Enjoy this compilation of every scene from the trilogy that holds up to the test:

I’ve been temp banned a few times over it. The alternative is the status quo, which is violent as fuck… a solution that’s quick, bloody, and targeted to only the worst of the worst offenders; but leaves society in a rehabilitated state afterwards is overall the least violent option on the table… but yea, advocating for status quo violence seems to be the only kind Lemmy mods tolerate as a general rule.

Oh well.

Our legal justice system, checks and balances, nonviolent protests, etc… have all completely failed.

Violence is all that’s left.

No idea what the actual ratings are, but the live action remake of Aladdin was absolutely shat on by most of the internet. The original Aladdin was one of my absolute favorites as a kid, so I was gonna see the remake good or bad, and… honestly, fucking loved it.

I’m guessing the main breaking point for people was the lack of Robin Williams’ Genie, but Disney had the option of trying recreate that genie without Robin Williams or completely remake that character’s personality. Had they gone with the former, it 100% would have 1) flopped, and 2) been kinda disrespectful to Robin Williams imo. Starting fresh was the correct choice. And Will Smith did awesome with his version of Genie.

Beyond that, it introduced just enough new shit to make it not just feel like a frame-by-frame copy/paste of the original; but overall kept the same fun mystical vibe of the original.

It earns its spot on the shelf, imo.

Bullshit. Remember the waves? Like Earth could pull anything like that off.
