  • The best scene in Star Wars was when Darth Vader was curled up at the Emperor's feet crying and whining that he was the cool rebel really.

  • Justin Roiland wasn't just the voice actor for Rick, Morty, and various other roles, he was the co-creator, writer, and executive producer of the show alongside Dan Harmon. The whole thing is very much Roiland's baby, and even after it came out that he's an abuser and predator and the show fired him it continues to be his celebrated legacy.

    Fuck that guy and his stupid show.

  • I initially found that show a bit interesting, but I found myself feeling more and more cringey about what the show was churning out. I outgrew the whole thing just as the sauce thing was happening

    It later became well known what an actual piece of shit Justin Roiland is, and I felt pretty glad not to have been stuck in that fandom still feeling like his work was of any importance to me.

  • From the article:

    He added, though, he thought the prospect of the Coens wanting to return to the subject matter was unlikely:

    β€œI don’t think the brothers are going to do that. I don’t think that’s their style. But I must say, they surprise us all the time… If they called me up and said, β€˜Hey let’s do it again,’ I’d say, β€˜Absolutely, come on.’”

    I also feel like the Coens are probably not up for unnecessary sequels. But unfortunately there are some people who engage in filmmaking compulsively and without joy.

  • The movie takes place in 1990 or 1991, but was released in 1998. If they made another one now they could place it seven or eight years ago again, and have the Little Lebowski still in their 20s.

  • Being "mentally much younger" is not an excuse to be an asshole. I've personally known five and six year olds who understand quite well that some people love and marry people the same gender as themselves, and also accept being corrected on whether someone is "he," "she," or even "they."

    Bigotry isn't natural, it's learned behavior you can accept and reinforce through your responses to her, attempt to correct, or simply judge her by and decide whether or not to continue involving her in your life.

    (If Ella isn't capable of matching the mental age of a toddler, the help she needs is probably beyond your ability or responsibility to provide.)

  • These were generally marketed as assistive tech for the vision-impaired. Some people can't look at the time on their wristwatch, but they can listen to it.

  • The Super Mario warp pipe noise.

    • "Haha, deadbolt... I just smash the door in."
    • "I can pick most locks with a credit card."
    • "I know when you're home... and when you're not."
  • I'm curious what anyone who truly believes in those horoscopes thinks is going on. Do they assume the Skippy and Dippy Morning Show crew have a licensed fortune teller casting star charts and meditating in a back room somewhere while the rest of the guys are giving away concert tickets and making prank phone calls to celebrities?

  • For the curious, there's a very good Mastodon thread by North Carolina farmer @[email protected] about modern family farm economics and farmers who still support Trump:

  • I agree!

  • They tried running Linux on their ENIAC, but someone accidentally tipped over one of the crates of punch cards which has unfortunately set the project back a few months.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • I wonder if torrented Jesus movies for Christians are edited down to have only nine Commandments.

  • If someone gets drunk and calls me a slur, I'm going to believe that even when they're sober and acting polite they're inwardly thinking that slur about me. That is enough to make them someone I'm not going to be inclined to trust.

    [![Five-panel comic strip made by photographing action figures and plastic props. Panel 1: Geordi La Forge and William Riker from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" at the Transporter Room console.

    Zero - an Android app that does nothing

    mastodon.social mcc (@[email protected])

    Okay, here is the formal release of my Android app "Zero". It does nothing. You launch it and it just immediately quits. It is literally the Android Kotlin sample project with a blanked icon and the single line `finish()` added to MainActivity.onCreate. Precompiled apks are available. You may find ...

    How does one add image descriptions?

    Hi, all! I'm posting to Lemmy from desktop, and I'm having trouble finding where one adds an image description (commonly known as a "caption" or "alt text") for accessibility when making an image post.

    Help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
