  • "I'll lay it out..."

    and then you literally repeat your false assumption and extrapolation.

    again, not going to get you anywhere.

    you are either not reading or ignoring my comments before responding to them. all you have to do is read what you are writing carefully and what I wrote to find 1) your fabrication or 2) my very clear explanation and OPs admission of the racism that he and others are not bothered by, while I am.

    I'm not sure if you're looking for 1 or 2, although yes it does seem like you're just pretending not to understand either since both of them are written so clearly.

    if you actually have such severe trouble with reading comprehension and can only fixate on single sentences taken out of context:

    once you realize which part of your question you are fabricating that is not in my comments, as it is the foundation of your atgument, you'll notice how you're invalidating your own questions and argument.

  • "it doesn't logically follow...this frame..."

    of course it doesn't, that's something you made up.

    I don't need to clear anything up for your imaginary argument.

    "how i am... considering this...racist".

    very clearly laid out above, you're the only one pretending not to understand.

    you can keep trying to change what I said, but the public record is above so it ain't gonna work, Jack.

  • "which tells me..."

    literally the next sentence explains your out of context quote.

    read all of the comments and the whole of each comment if you're going to respond to them.

    right now you're just making things up or assuming things and then extrapolating on your make believe.

    as long as you keep making things up, I'm going to point out the things that you're making up.

  • read my comment if you don't understand instead of just making things up and extrapolating.

    the racism and subsequent cultural insensitivity is explained very clearly and everybody else who has commented understands it.

  • nope, I said none of that. you're playing make believe.

    I'm advocating for social and political reform through racial sensitivity, you are "reacting" against that reform.

    you're a reactionary.

  • "reactionary"

    you are using this word incorrectly.

    you are literally the reactionary here.

    I'm advocating for political and social reform by asking people to be less racist and more culturally aware.

    you're opposing this reform, and are thus, by definition, a reactionary.

    "imaginary"

    here's one of the very well known racist cartoons starring bugs:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugs_Bunny_Nips_the_Nips

  • none of your comment is related to what I or the other commenters have posted.

    as I noted and OP agreed, bugs Bunny cartoons are historically, factually racist.

    I specifically quoted their admission of that cartoon being racist.

    I also never mentioned the sickle, it's the specific choice to use a racist cartoon when there are plenty of non-racist cartoons to use.

    I just saw you were "all" from ml and world though, now I see why you "all" are defending the use of racism.

  • "I'm not sure how this frame could be taken that way"

    yes, you are:

    "Bugs Bunny has plenty of [racism] in other cartoons"

    it sounds like you do understand that cartoon is racist. you said it.

    why associate the right to repair with a racist cartoon when there are so many not racist cartoons?

    especially when bugs is such a capitalist mascot, and you're trying to make this communist.

    doesn't make sense why you would choose that specific frame to associate with Communism (which many people associate with China) from that specific cartoon that is known for Asian racism to promote right to repair.

    like, use Donatello fixing a gadget.

    or Dexter.

    or inspector gadgets niece whatever, or that mouse girl from that show... I think her name is gadget.

    none of them have racist associations that you, yourself are aware of and yet are promoting.

  • You Are Here

  • "Where are you getting "roll over and give up" from?"

    from the cowardly statement about how nobody should fight back because there's nothing to be done.

    that's simply not true.

    dozens of executive orders have been halted by lawyers, judges and civil rights activists.

    all of your anxieties you are pretending are real are false echoes of the other person who doesn't know what they're talking about.

    you being afraid of fighting back and recommending giving up doesn't make you brave, it's pathetic.

    it's even worse when you attack the people that are fighting for your civil rights every day, despite your selfishness and cowardly propaganda.

  • 28 days was my favorite for a long time.

    i recently watched through all the romero films and think Day of the Dead from 85 is my favorite, the emotions and story are there most disturbing for me there.

    but I've probably watched Shaun of the Dead the most number of times.

    i didn't know about return, by the way, but it's on my watch list now so thanks.

  • You Are Here

  • "how they're being ignored and nothing happens."

    this is flatly incorrect, although it is what rump wants you to believe.

    he's signing a lot of executive orders, asking his cronies to find loopholes to attack vulnerable groups, but lawyers and judges are managing to stop a lot of those orders and unconstitutional actions.

    there's no use rolling over while the fight has just begun.

    a lot is legally happening and things would be a lot worse if we didn't have a lot of brave lawyers and judges on the side of the sane.

    Even if legal and judicial activism isn't as exciting or getting as much attention as the 5 million strong protests, those legal consequences and judicial developments are saving people's lives and should be respected.

  • You Are Here

  • "You think that wasn't the case in Germany too?"

    I see you don't know what you're talking about.

    "50501 and crew are baby stuff "

    nice try, Nazi lover.

    but hundreds of legal actions actually stopping the administration and millions of people protesting is not baby stuff, even though it scares you.

    "and they failed anyway"

    roll over and give up like you want to. the heroes will fight while you hide under your bed.

    the protesters, the lawyers and judges and politicians fighting against all of this stuff you're willing to hide your eyes from are the heroes.

    that's why my comment lauded the activists and not cowards.

    Cool client, am I missing something obvious with quick actions? mine are missing despite showing up in the preview.

    in the preview I can see them under the post, I've added share and save, but on the actual posts in the feed on any layout, share and save are not in the quick action bar.

    do I have to enable something else also?

    thanks

    i was listening to louis Armstrong and was suggested Bumscratcher by Sheena Cassey. I'm perplexed and laughing out loud.

    this is bumscratcher; beef curtains is one of her other songs.

    all very new material, pretending to be a 60s lounge singer, does anyone know anything about cassey or unhinged records?

    in what order do you guys recommend watching the whole Ghost in the Shell narrative after the original movie(no spoilers please)?

    I really liked the original movie, I'm not interested at all in the live action, but there seem to be so many anime tv shows and movies that I'm at a loss where to start except hopping through chronologically by production.

    I'd like to avoid repeats, so I don't really care about ovas.

    I watched the original, I want to continue that story, but I have no idea if that's how the story goes in all the subsequent productions I'm seeing.

    so please without spoiling anything, explain which path I should take.

    YSK that if Americans live outside of the US for more than 330 days a year, they don't have to pay taxes on $125,000 of their income that year

    why: so the government won't be able to use your money for whatever the fuck they're planning for the next 4 years.

    as a traveler, none of my money has been funding Israel, for example.

    one-step method: you basically fill out one extra tax form called FEIE while you're doing your taxes, write down the dates you were outside of the country, and then since you aren't in the country and are not receiving any services from the US, you don't have to pay income tax up to a certain amount (it's a little over 125k this year).

    Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world
    Varyk @sh.itjust.works

    for US voters who didn't, why didn't you vote early through the mail?

    Just curious since it seems so much easier and less stressful during any election cycle to fill out a form and mail it in during your free time.

    Stovetop/shower/tub/ countertop/toilet stains? Toothpaste!

    I wanted my security deposit back but the tub was already orange and stained when we moved in.

    luckily, I knew the toothpaste trick.

    1. while whatever your cleaning is bone dry, squeeze a little toothpaste on the discolored area.
    2. spread it out with a disposable plastic glove or whatever, make sure that the toothpaste is rubbed in and touching all the discolored parts.
    3. wait an hour or four. waiting is optional, it just makes it easier to clean off later.
    4. use a damp cloth to clean off the toothpaste and the orange, yellow whatever stains from your tub, shower, countertop or toilet.
    5. repeat as needed, it won't take many applications to have your fixture looking new.

    any tile or anything with a glossy finish is fine to use toothpaste on, and the plastic shower and tubs are made out of is fine and won't be damaged.

    get that deposit back for the price of a tube of toothpaste.

    honorable mention:

    are you in 1999 and your CD keeps skipping?

    toothpaste!

    local question for Indians, where are all the premixed curries in the supermarket?

    Hello, I'm traveling in orissa right now and I'm looking for premixed curries i can buy to throw in a pot with water and make dinner with.

    I've met plenty of locals and asked a few about instant or pre-mixed curries, but they all say that there's no such thing as premixed curries in india.

    The strikes me as odd since instant curry is very common in every country with any sort of curry tradition I've been to and it seems like some company would have taken advantage of the market.

    am I asking the wrong question?

    I'm either not recognizing or haven't found any curry mixes yet.

    are they not called curry?

    should I be looking for something else?

    thanks

    I like a lot about the Marvels(2023), but does this movie have the worst CGI/set pieces of any Marvel movie?

    does anyone have any insight into this? actual behind the scenes knowledge?

    the sets either look like cheap plastic or ps3 graphics.

    It's very distracting and making it almost impossible for me to immerse myself in the story.

    It's very frustrating because I like the movie and the story and I think the actors are mostly doing a good job, kamala and her family are hilarious, but I can't get over how dog shit the CGI , editing and set pieces are.

    did anyone else notice this?

    and the budget was 220 million. it was huge, I can't understand why the effects and set pieces are so terrible.

    a small example: when captain Marvel "changes" her clothes in the singing Palace, her entire wardrobe is clearly changed off screen, she's already wearing her new costume when the camera switches back to her and there are literal like 1970s cartoon Disney sparkles floating around her for a second to imply that she morphed her costume?

    have Marvel movies always looked this ridiculous? I feel like 10

    great VA clip from S1

    I tried to find one with Ashley burch since I think she was the voice of computer bot lady in the pilot episode?

    but it was a lot of work, relatively, for the internet, so I didn't.

    Tempbot! right?

    oh, I think the borders of my B+P memory are just hazy enough that I can justify watching the show again.

    That's very exciting.

    Updated garlic peeling lifehack for garlic dip after testing

    Thank you [email protected] community!

    tldr: baking/steaming garlic in the peel is the clear winner for volume clove peeling.

    Crushing is the winner for a couple cloves in a stir-fry, root end cut is obviously better for garlic chips.

    The last garlic peeling post had so many good suggestions that I decided to trial each of them at least a few times with fresh/older bulbs of different shapes and sizes.

    One method worked in any situation.

    For peeling as many cloves as you want, each technique had some major cons except for the final, winning method put forward by @[email protected] !

    The results were:

    Smashing -

    pros: easy, classic technique. usually works.

    cons: peel can get stuck inside a smash, you still have to pull off the peel, occasionally the peel is still stuck to the skin, cloves are damaged.

    Slicing off root end and pee
