This is fantastic! I laughed so hard when he did this in the movie.

Whatever the rules are for when lemmy copies an image to an instance vs. leaving it as a link, they are frustrating.

It's copied this one, from catbox.moe, so the thumbnail is https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/3a7734bd-7e53-4574-8557-7f2cc081e986.webp?format=webp&thumbnail=256
But another one I did - here - it didn't, so the thumbnail is just https://files.catbox.moe/d81jm0.webp

The first thumbnail works on lemmy.world, but breaks for instances it federates too (that I've seen)
The second thumbnail works everywhere (again, that I've seen)

I don't understand the logic of copying images in anyway, especially from sites that are exclusively set up to host them.

that movie was so incredibly close to being self aware

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

It's definitely self aware. It knows it's messaging is overt and leans into that and builds the story around it.

What, exactly, did you think it was about?

How was it not?... The entire point of the movie was to show the obsurdity of the patriarchal society. First the men were the marginalized women, and then they became the embodiment of the patriarchy. Both showing how absurd it is. It was a little cartoonish but I think it made the point well and was self aware.

Did you not get that the whole point was poking fun at the absurdity of the dynamics or what?

And, importantly, how patriarchy hurt them also. Neither situation benefited Ken, when what he really wanted to be was his own person, he just liked horses

To be honest, when I found out that patriarchy wasn't about horses, I kinda lost interest.
