I think it's blocked by a ton lol. There's a list, and boy are some of those instances outrageous lol

Hmmm... I mean, you won't fit in with Lemmy proper any more than Reddit proper (perhaps worse, lol), but it raises a question to other lemmings: are there any conservative instances?

I'm torn, as on the one hand I'd prefer you not have an echo chamber, but on the other hand I'd like to see Lemmy prosper. There's a reason instances defederate from one another, and radical idiology is one. Look at Hexbear for an example.

Btw, Lemmy was created by genuine communists (not the hyperbole ones, I mean actual ones) and run the Lemmy.ml instance. While it's FOSS and therefore plenty of others have run and moderate their own instances, keep in mind that's our starting point.

Good ol' Sandy Shores. I wish it wasn't so spot on sometimes! Not that South LA is much better.

Ah shit, here we go again.

But really, I place it second after GTAV, but I'm biased. I was born and raised in LA but I was too young to fully get San Andreas references. But V? I live where Franklins from, work where Michael lives, and have relatives where Trevor lives. It's not satire, it's a documentary.

As others say, it's not required and you very much can use other titles. Most stick with Dr because of how much time and effort and stress went into it, although I only use Dr. because with my first name it let's me go by the name of a certain Simpsons character. "Hello, everybody!"

I'm probably an agent of chaos because I've blocked nothing, no one, nada. Don't get me wrong, I abhor some of the bad takes I've seen, and I certainly have had to hide furry porn from family before I think that got defed'd, but I kind of like the weird chaos of c/All.

But then again, the worst of it isn't on LemmyWorld, I know what Hexbear and Lemmygrad look like and I'm not sure I could stay triple zero on bans.

I had a thought about this; fascism exists because there are evil but effective ways of swaying people. By scapegoating immigrants and providing propaganda, he's doing exactly what other fascists have done (including Hitler) to great success.

It's like any other good vs evil things, the good guys always have extra hurdles to deal with, like a super hero who has to save civilians and can't just sucker punch the baddies. Too bad this is reality, and the good guys aren't guaranteed to win...

I don't know if you can't actually flesh out six families backstories if it's a multi-season show (especially if it's written well and not just six boring ass nuclear families.) Just not... you know, an idiotic "oh he's friends with X from work."

Modern Family did that mostly fine with multiple arcs, I think, although my fucked up head canon is that's the sequel to Married With Children (even if it really doesn't make sense, haha). In the Brady's case, I'd make one of the characters awkwardly racist-- let's say, Cindy, and have a laugh at her expense. Wait, actually that's starting to sound like It's Always Sunny so probably not!

I'm probably not a TV writer for a reason.

She's a real pile of garbage BUT I do kind of agree on the risk of a token black character-- I could absolutely see that happening in a fucking Brady reboot. Now, if they got a diverse writing staff and actually wrote something interesting with the premise, that'd be kind of amazing but we're talking a blatant boomer nostalgia bait show. You know that's going to be terrible.

I use this as an example for interval vs ratio; you can't halve Celsius because it's an interval scale where zero is arbitrary. Kelvin is ratio as it has an absolute zero-- you very much can halve it and doom near the entire planet next summer

Well now, if we can't just abolish the electrical college can we at least quarantine as many Republicans in Idaho as possible? Steal some Texans, or Floridians, exchange them for those liberal Idaho patriots yearning for bluer pastures.

Aside from no friends, the rest of those things apply to a ton of 19 year olds. I don't think it's entirely Social Medias fault they have a weird expectation; even I had that as a teen and I heard my dad's generation did too.

I think it's mostly because people see movies where sex is commonplace in high school and losing your "V card" is a thing. The expectation to drive and work has also just been there since forever ago, but this current generation is even less likely to need to either. At least I know there are some non-chan places also pushing to get teens to understand those expectations aren't normal...
