  • I recently got to go to Rio de Janeiro, which has been a long-time dream of mine

    Hey, that's awesome. I've never been, but heard it's a really interesting place.

  • Why are y'all downvoting the mfer? This is a "rant" community, and they're ranting. It's a worthwhile perspective to hear. Sure, they should spend their time making this a better place instead of pining over the corporate cesspool that's written them off, but that's a perspective you can upvote in comments.

  • I swear, if Piefed ... ever does something where it integrates crossposts… I’m jumping ship.

    Piefed currently integrates crossposts. Prepare to abandon ship!

  • "Dolemite is my Name" is great because it talks about the roots of the Dolemite movies: people hanging out and telling outrageous stories, then other people taking those stories and refining them and using them to make entertaining movies. This subtly attacks the term "blaxploitation" because (as Fred Williamson and Michael Jai White and others point out ) it's a belittling term and there's usually no exploitation, just people doing their best to entertain.

    And "The Human Tornado" is one hell of an entertaining movie. Often it is offensive or outrageous or uncomfortable but there are maybe five minutes total where the movie "slows down" and usually those involve scenes of people hanging out and talking and having a good time -- which is entertaining in its own way. The rest of the time people are fighting or dancing or playing songs or cracking stand-up quality jokes or cucking the sheriff or throwing grenades in torture dungeons or stripping down and doing nunchucks wearing nothing but a speedo or crawling out of boxes to have sex on a set of oversized blocks that spell out "BED" - all of that and more is in the movie, rapid-fire, with barely a pause to hang out and laugh about it. It really is a Tornado of a movie.

  • yeah my fave is the cat skull

  • Yeah this reviewer tells it right, I saw this movie like a month ago but can't remember anything about it...

  • Most people would rather do the least effort to preserve their sense of being a good person.

    Well, it's like that Occam's Razor, right? It's simpler to believe: "I don't like it because of (excuse)" instead of "Some of my fundamental beliefs are completely wrong and I need to re-examine them." Such a person may feel that this is not quite the full story, but are all our thoughts completely examined? It's not necessarily malicious to say: I've figured this out 'well enough' for now, and I can move on to something else.

    This is an important distinction because then to tell such a person that they're "bad" or that they "hate" is completely meaningless to them. They don't consciously hate, they just adopt oppressive philosophies and they've never needed to examine them.

  • but... but... Bluesky is owned by a public benefit corporation! That means it's good, right?

    That doesn't mean it's good. For example, OpenAI is a public benefit corporation.

  • This is interesting. I feel like people are allowed to say “I don’t think women should lead”. They just don’t like the consequences of having that opinion. They want to say something cruel or afactual without anyone uninviting them from parties.

    I agree, but would add that in some cases it's a little more subtle than that. A fair number of people are fundamentally sexist but feel uncomfortable within themselves about their beliefs, so:

    • see something that goes against a belief
    • feel revulsion
    • subconsciously realize their belief contradicts other (more charitable) beliefs that they themselves hold
    • seek another reason for feeling that revulsion
  • Yeah same. Plus, I'm like: let the kids have the fun, I'm just here for a couple songs til I head back home to my computers.

  • Glad to hear that. FWIW the current community description, "A place for 90s and 2000s nostalgia", makes it sound like the 80s aren't invited.

  • I never heard any jokes from ICP. I only ever heard how to survive when everybody hates you.

  • Badass. Not perfect technically but that kinda adds to it. Looks like it was made by wendelllh3 on r$ddit back in 2017.

  • Mirlo's really interesting, I hope it thrives: https://diyconspiracy.net/mirlo-interview/

    Kinda bummed that they limit number of plays so strictly. But I see why they do it, they don't have bandcamp-like resources.

  • Aw, sorry to see you're getting downvoted, looks like a fun post.

    and Quasar LED lighting attachment. https://www.esslinger.com/led-visor-lighting-system-attachment-for-optivisor-headband-magnifier/

    I originally got it when I was doing a bit of electronics work. But every couple of months there'll be times when I really want a hands-free magnified view of something I'm working on, even if it's just for a household chore. There are plenty of cheap knock-off out there, but I believe this is the original. I was at the Intrepid Museum in NYC and there was a photo of a NASA engineer wearing one of these.

  • To be fair, I have an Engineering degree and still don't know how magnets work.
