Oh shit, I guess that wasn’t a microdose…

Oh shit, I guess that wasn’t a microdose…

Ngl, I’d watch the fuck out of a movie about juggalos toppling a surveillance state. Culminating in the cinematic final showdown I’ve always pictured in my head when listening to I Want My Shit..

I almost feel like someone needs to do a write-up of the 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone debacle - while not a 1-for-1 example (it wasn’t a migration attempt that functioned the exact same way as it would with PieFed), it’s a good case study for userbase-community owner-instance dynamics that should be considered, specifically the bit in your last sentence.

Out of curiosity, have you got a link or something for these workshops (and are they done in English or French)? I’m out in Ottawa, seems like a useful thing to have in my pocket to share with folks since there’s a lot of movement between the two cities (and if online geography isn’t a barrier).

If not, no worries and keep up the good fight.

You have the rare honour of being the first comment I’ve both downvoted and saved.

(Downvoted simply because it’s the opposite kind of answer to what OP is looking for, if it actually bugs you let me know and I’ll remove, nbd).

It’s actually very cool with a very long history to dig through. How I got introduced to parkour in the very nascent days (at least in North America). Prior to that I was just a 12-13 year old who liked rock climbing, and it served as encouragement to trespass in the most fun ways possible.

Some stuff hasn’t aged all that well (made by a dude on the early 2000s internet, is what it is), but 100% worth checking out.

SWEET! WHAT’S MINE SAY!?

Sweet!

On a t-break but this sounds amazing regardless. Saved.

I think part (though not all) of the issue is discoverability. There’s other communities where this isn’t as prevalent, but a) they’re not always easy to find, and b) for this as well as other reasons, they might not be super active (if people don’t know it exists, who’s posting?)

I get around the first bit by trawling All New once and a while. One feature I will say I liked on reddit was the random community function. But while I like that it’s a smaller userbase here for some reasons, it does mean less diversity of interests.

I’d say a script-kiddie can modify a script, but only if there’s some resource that says ‘change this part to do x’. They don’t understand why that change does what it does, though, or how to troubleshoot if it doesn’t actually do the thing.

Signed: config file kiddie - I just do what youtube or forum denizens tell me to do until it works. Imagine there’s script-kiddies out there that do something similar.

Good.

Downvoted, not unimpressive.

(j/k, good on ya)

I was a participant in what was described as a “tipsy, low-kick cancan line” by a young journalist covering a show for a university’s student newspaper when I was a pre-teen (ah, all-ages shows, good times).

I’ve been censored on the radio on two separate occasions (made jokes about a competing station when calling in for a giveaway).

There’s others but they are far lamer, if you can believe it.

I’d say if you understand that if it gets serious, you will find yourself in a parental role of some kind (specific degree varies situation to situation), and accept that as a something you will step up to as necessary, go for it.

I was a dumb-as-rocks 20 year old when I met my ex-wife and her kid. Now my marriage is over, but I am that kid’s de facto dad and that’s pretty much a ‘for life’ thing. I don’t regret that and they are the most important human in my life, and I like to think I did a decent enough job helping raise them (no worse than my own young parents, at least). But if I had a time machine, I can’t say I wouldn’t go back and ask young Cracks if he really understands what he’s getting into.

That said, circumstances could have been such that the dynamic was different (older kid at time of arrival, more involved biodad, etc.), so YMMV. But regardless, people with kids are a package deal, and that needs to be seriously considered when dating/getting into a relationship. If that doesn’t line up with what you want out of life, there’s absolutely no shame in that.

100% yes, particularly having done it multiple times. Each place represents a particular arc of my life to this point, and I get a little sentimental/pensive about it if cruising streetview or, much more intensely, going back there.

An interesting feeling that pops up with this sometimes: you ever 100% a video game level (Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 specifically came to mind for me) and replay it afterwards? You can still do stuff, still walk around, but there’s a sense of emptiness compared to when you still had goals there. Those are now long finished and not to be repeated. The game’s progressed elsewhere.

I’ve also experienced had a new, related feeling following a recent visit for a show in one of these places, given some recent life changes. Very much like when you reach the end of a stage later in the game, and something new unlocks in those earlier levels.

Life’s fucking weird man.

1. All humans have an inherent value.
2. Depression has numerous contributing environmental, social, and biological factors.
3. Who asked bitch? Shut your dumb ass up.

Multimedia/‘alternate reality’ (what people used to call ARGs, now I think there’s some other term).

Edit: suppose this is a cop out though, since it involves combos of film, literature, audio, web design, and occasionally IRL events or materials. So putting that aside, I think video games edge out film a smidge, in the hands of the right creator/team.
