What happened to "stoner" comedies?
  • They still make them, it’s just that they aren’t super mainstream anymore and most people who grew up with them grew out of that type of humour, and the nostalgia is what’s hitting them for those movies.

    Seth Rogen still makes them, the guys from workaholics made one not too long ago, there’s some other good fringe ones I’ve seen.

  • Genetically modified food is generally 👍
  • No, that’s not what I was saying. I’m saying it’s the popular talking point because it’s the ones GMO companies like Monsanto often choose to address in PR moves because it’s easy to debunk.

    Reread what I said, I’m not saying GMOs are bad for you. I’m agreeing with you. I’m saying it’s all the other things you mentioned that are the real reason these companies deserve to be scrutinized.

  • Intel Chair Turner: ‘Absolutely true’ that Russia propaganda has infected US Congress
  • All this fear of Russian propaganda but nobody in the US government talks about the localized corporate propaganda that’s a far bigger threat to the US and the world at large.

    Bernie and AOC used to, but Bernie seems to have given up, and AOC is looking out for her career now. Tulsi Gabbard used to too but I don’t even know what her deal is anymore.

  • Genetically modified food is generally 👍
  • Seriously, the health thing has been pushed by GMO companies themselves. They created an easy straw man to debunk so that they don’t have to address the actual issues that GMO products, which are much more sinister to me.

    Controlling food production in such a draconian way should send you straight to jail, forever.

  • ‘Building an authoritarian axis’: the Trump ‘envoy’ courting the global far right
  • What irritates me is that I know whatever Ben Shapiro said on his show every week because the exact same words come out of people I know’s mouths that week. It’s such low effort, easily identified propaganda. I don’t understand why it works so well. Like I don’t get it at all.

  • ‘Building an authoritarian axis’: the Trump ‘envoy’ courting the global far right
  • The radicalization towards the right is what disturbs me the most. I am a blue collar working class person from a small town in a very conservative province, and I don’t understand at all how everything that’s happened has not radicalized people overwhelmingly towards left wing economics.

    I blame most of it on culture war bullshit honestly, but a large part of me is just disappointed in how overwhelmingly stupid and easily manipulated a lot of my friends and family seem to be. The writing is on the wall as far as I can tell. I read a lot of books on economics and history and politics, and I don’t expect everyone to do that, but even before I got into reading about that shit I could tell that something was very wrong with how right wing pundits pushed their shit. It irritates me to no end having to explain these things in person to people I otherwise respect, see them talk about it and internalize it, and then two days later see them devolve right back into the same right wing propagandized mentality. Idk man, it’s disheartening.

  • ‘Building an authoritarian axis’: the Trump ‘envoy’ courting the global far right
  • Yeah I mean, I know why.

    But it should be obvious to people when they see stuff like this and the heritage fund and other similar groups that it’s obvious propaganda efforts from the elites, and you think that alone would push people left.

    But often times it doesn’t. And I don’t know how to fix that.

  • Are there any instances that are federated with .world, .ml, -!: hexbears?

    I’m with Lemmy.world right now and they’ve defederated these other two instances, which are two of the biggest instances on Lemmy. I know other people were happy about it but I’d like to make that decision myself. I also would like to still be able to see Lemmy.world posts, if that’s possible, so I don’t want to just join them.

    Does anybody know what the instance is with the most other instances federated with it is? Or even just one that is federated with those three?

    For any of you trying to get over the Hell fear, you should know Eternal Damnation isn’t actually even in the Bible.

    Warning, this IS from the perspective of a Christian. But it’s something I wish I had known when I was deconverting.

    The heaven and hell bullshit is just something modern Christian’s use to get you to tithe and support fascist ideals. Fuck them.

    Is it hard to get trades you want in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet?

    My wife and I just got scarlet and violet to play in camp, and my wife wants some of her favourite Pokémon that aren’t in this game (and honestly so would I.)

    Is it hard to find someone willing to trade us the Pokémon we want? How do we even go about doing that?

    What should I choose for my next weapon to try?

    Gonna run through the early game of MHW with my wife. Been only using Switchaxe for my first 120 hours or so here, and I think this is a good time to try something new. What would y’all recommend for a switch axe guy? I was thinking this time maybe something fast and can guard? Like the opposite of switch axe? I’m not sure where to go tho.
