That a good move I dodn't think of. I usually try to not read much to not see the world ad shitty.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

This is honestly the move

"Spider, Spiders, Trump" was one of the least successful children's books of all time.

Take that spider republicans

Not unless you do musk as well.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 15 hours ago

Musk, Tesla, and cybertruck were my most recent additions. I do not have the bandwidth to care about one auto company who is bad at making cars.

The fuck did DQ ever do to you?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 15 hours ago

Activision-Blizzard maybe?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 18 hours ago

He lost his mom to an Oreo Blizzard, I can't blame him. She was eating one, got lost and never came home.

What's wrong with spiders?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Don't like em

That's how elections work: one wins, everyone else loses

Is it just star trek and linux left?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Nah, they've got head and sand as well.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 hours ago

don't forget about 196

[–] [email protected] 7 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Mainly, but some of the star trek stuff is pretty wholesome. Kinda makes me wanna finally watch it

[–] [email protected] 0 points 34 minutes ago

Having run out of my previous set of late night easy viewing media, I recently started watching The Next Generation. Was surprised to discover it is actually a fun show (even the supposedly terrible first season), provided you enjoy the veneer of mild campiness inherent to television of the 80's-90's.

The show is also giving me hope that societal progress can never be stopped, since people were able to imagine this sort of reality in much more restrictive times than we have today. I just hope they're wrong about World War 3 beginning in 2026 🥲

I did not mean 'left to block', just 'left in the feed'

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Yeah that's what I assumed you meant

[–] [email protected] 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You haven't already? I grew up with that shit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, I used to watch some of the original one with captain kirk when I was young, but I never saw tng and all I had was cable and ADHD so I never was good at sticking to series

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I really like Voyager actually. TNG is probably objectively the best though. With you on the ADHD though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

I mean it's better now but like most brain things, it's pretty bad as a kid, might check out both

[–] [email protected] 10 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

doesn't spider cover spiders? Does it look for whole words?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

Noooooo, straight literal string I believe, I learned that the hard way

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

One solution to the Scunthorpe problem

[–] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

But then wouldn’t you want to put democrats and conservatives and kamalas?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

I mean I usually don't bother adding it until it comes up

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago

thats kinda annoying. I guess good if you don't want to see anything about toys. Would be nice if you could have an option of how it parses the terms.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I set up almost the exact same list this week. I like spiders though... Adding Blizzard now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Activision Blizzard

[–] [email protected] 9 points 19 hours ago (6 children)

Peace or delusion? Like it or not some of those things are going to be affecting your every day life.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

Lemmy isn’t the primary source of information for most people.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Why are you so fixated on what others want to see in their Lemmy feed? I see politics everywhere else, I don't want to see them here, I may start blocking as well

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know if I would call a single comment on the matter, ever, as "fixated".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Someone who didn't care at all wouldn't bother to comment and call someone delusional then proceed to reply to every following thread, I think fixated is pretty apt

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

We have different definitions of fixated then, friend. I consider replying a matter on carrying on a civil conversation, but I'll note that it can also apparently be a sign of fixation.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

How is that delusional? Blocking out stressors is perfectly reasonable. Yeah you miss out on some relevant news, but lower stress might be worth it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago

People in the current year literally believe this

You know that there are at least several people in the world who are not Americans, right?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

You know that the US is a leading world power that can affect other places, right? I'm not even in the US, myself.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Just because it affects us doesn't mean everything has to be about it all the damn time. Besides, it doesn't affect us all equally.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago

I certainly would agree that not "everything has to be about it all the damn time".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Bite me :)

How about I do me and you don't worry about what I'm doing? That way I continue to do me and you aren't bothered about it for some weird reason.
