That’s a fair point. So I guess the purpose that it actually serves is bookmarking and saving the page at the same time. I can definitely see the use in that actually.

Weird gimmick that I’ve literally never used or even ever considered using. There’s already this obscure thing that you can save articles and pages in for later called “bookmarks”.

2 or 17. Sometimes (rarely) 20.

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.

The Fox and the Hound!

Yeah it’s definitely a right wing christian agenda in this whole thing. Same as with the ‘manosphere’, which started out telling people to be tough and ‘manly’ and has ended up with something like purity culture where they evaluate women to carry their babies for them and vote against women’s rights. I even saw a stat that these same young men that follow the manosphere are starting to turn religious, surprise surprise.

This TERF shit is the same agenda but for women. And the terminology is slightly more sophisticated because it’s aimed at people that actually read and won’t believe just any story about George Soros or whatever. So their version of “woke agenda” is “trans ideology”. But they’re both the same, both fighting to preserve and enforce white christian patriarchal culture onto everyone and push down and eradicate anyone who breaks norms.

And the sad part is that I think a lot genuinely think they’re trailblazing rebels or something. But they’re doing exactly what the conservative religious right wants. The same people that want to see them reduced to kitchen appliances and baby incubators.

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)

Hell yeah. It’s always the extroverts that act like they’re the default and introverts just need to be coaxed out of their shells. I think that it comes from the common misunderstanding that being introverted is the same thing as being socially anxious. I think they probably go hand in hand, in that a socially anxious person is possibly introverted as a defense mechanism but it’s not the same. Being introverted just means that you have a limited social battery that takes longer to change.

I don’t. I tried it and I don’t really think it’s my thing. Haven’t explored it top to bottom though, so I’m definitely open to suggestions of channels to check out.

Usually if I’m not impressed in an RPG, I’m watching something fantasy, sci-fi or comic book lol. Also trying to listen to more music again.

Me too sigh. Or binge watching or gaming. Cats are easily distracted.

These days I alternate between binge watching cat and gaming cat. Very rarely reading cat but I want to start balancing it more with the binge watching and gaming.

Knitting cat could represent any art or craft or creative thing. Haven’t been knitting cat in a while. I’d actually like to learn knitting, and sewing though, literally.

Used to be drinking cat regularly but I’ve gone off it in the last few years. A bottle of red on the weekend is starting to sound good again though.

I’m usually laundry cat on Mondays (I hate Mondays…)

And all of that is of course when I’m not sleepy cat. Which includes doomscrolling for me.

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.

This is my jam. A friend of mine described this as having an audience of people in your head that you’ve collected for various reasons, some positive, some toxic and poisonous. Like your best friend, or your mother, or your asshole boss that you have to deal with every day. Living in your head arguing with you and making you justify yourself, or perhaps encouraging you if it’s not a toxic audience member. The audience also changes over the years and as you change, people come and go.

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