  • I agree. I typically skip sex scenes in movies. Those scenes very seldom add anything to the story imo.

    Unless it makes sense. In “What Women Want” with Mel Gibson, I believe that is a great example of a sex scene adding to the movie. The whole premise is him reading women’s minds, so him having sex with Marisa Tomei and hearing their thoughts while in the act added to the premise.

    So when I see a movie that is just like “hey these people are hot and we should film them go at it” is just boring imo.



  • Never said it didn’t, but reddit is more left leaning than right as a whole.

    Lemmy is just straight lefty though. I’m a liberal person so it doesn’t bother me other than it just being a massive circle jerk most of the time.

    Look I understood that when I made that comment no one would like it, but it’s just the truth…

    I’ve been here since the API garbage from reddit, and use it daily so I feel like I can make an honest assessment of my experience thus far.

    I like it, its great. Better than reddit in a lot of ways. If someone is/was a heavy Reddit user I recommend it.


  • Welcome to Lemmy! If you thought Reddit was left leaning, you’re in for a wild ride!

    Also if you’re an American you probably shouldn’t be, because they automatically assume you’re from the Bible belt. They will simultaneously say they don’t care for American politics but then will always be talking about it.

    Linux is the best OS just don’t get into it. You better be using firefox. All the niche subs you had on Reddit aren’t here, and you’ll more likely just be blocking communities instead of subbing to anything.

    And no one reads the articles, way more than reddit imo

    The comments are slightly more interesting though.

    It’s not all that bad though, I’m being a little sarcastic, but only a little…



  • Whenever I see something like this I feel I must defend my friend who’s a cop.

    Before being a cop he was a lifeguard at a beach and my bassist.

    Baywatch may tell you differently, but being a lifeguard is a seasonal job, and not a career. The next level of being a lifeguard is becoming a cop, so he did, and he has only beaten one black man so far.


  • I’m on the latter part of 30 and I’m in bumble and tinder. I decided to give myself a month on them and if nothing happens I’ll remove it. I’m not exactly on the prowl but I feel like I’ve given myself enough time to “work on myself” since my last relationship. So I’m testing the water. Also all my friends are all hitched or have kids, so there isn’t a lot of mutual single friends.

    It’s either, super model hot bot, or no thanks… There really isn’t an in-between. I understand that sounds shallow, but that’s been my experience. Then when you finally get matched no one actually makes conversation. Like I’m not going to sit here and try to drag a conversation out of you.

    You’re right too. The apps are also really only focused on just trying to get you to spend money, not getting you a match.

    Tinder for example says I have 20+ “matches” but I can’t see them unless I pay. And when I swipe it’s not like any of those people are put up front. You only get 20 likes and none of them will be the people that have “matched” with you.

    It’s also not cheap either. It’s like 20 dollars a month.

    Bumble is even worse.

    It’s a stark contrast from how it was several years ago.




  • Dude you hit the nail on the head right there. I’ve been thinking of installing Reddit back because some of the content I enjoyed there is just not here.

    Ive tried to recreate the subs I had on Reddit to here, but it’s empty. So I just browse All and block anything that has to do with politics, but it’s impossible because everything is just lefty politics in some way. Like I’m a liberal person, but I feel like I’m considered right leaning from some of the shit people say on here.

    And if I don’t have NSFW off it’s just trans everywhere.

    Like do what you wanna do, be who you wanna be, but I don’t wanna see THAT lol
