In the last few years I’ve finished a dozen or so. In college I used about 1 pen per semester from start to finish in the same way. I tend to use nail clippers until they are dull, too.

I leave a chapstick (Burt’s bees) at my desk at home and another in the pants I go out with (which moves to new pants with my wallet as necessary). Hard to lose things when I have a system, I guess.

Hunger games. She can hunt because she hunted to support her sister and depressed mother who gave up. They make her head of the revolution because of optics. Katniss isn’t special.

Is she running the game? When you run your games, how do you keep up the pace? Let her know. If you don’t run games, it sounds like it is time to try it out. If you already let her know and she wants that pace, you may need to learn to accept it or play a different game.

When you refer to a lack of plot development, what is it you are doing for 2 hours? Is it character development?

That’s just objectively untrue. Some might have, sure, but many firms joined the fight immediately. Don’t suggest nobody else came to their aid when that is just not the case.

Oh yeah. Holy cow thats a good find. I have memory of it looking like a subway but I don’t remember any details. I’ll have to rewatch the show again.

I have never thought of this before, but you are on to something.

The show has done quite a few advertisements as part of the show. First that comes to mind are Fight Milk, Kitton Mittons, and Patty’s Shotgun, which aren’t real of course. Dick towel was made to be real but that was just a genuinely good idea.

In one scene an individual is mentioned eating a whole sleeve of Oreos, but based on the way they talk about the Oreos and the person eating them, no way they got paid to mention the product. The show also depicts Wawas quite badly in a similar way. Wouldn’t be surprised if those got mentioned purely because of their ubiquity in some areas including Philly, and not as paid advertisements. Sears comes up in one episode, but they are seemingly critiquing this exact type of advertisement as it is used in the Extreme Home Makeover show. I wonder if they were paid or if they were just convenient plot devices. Dave and Busters and TGI Fridays in the recession episode, of course.

The Coors Light mentions are in your face ads, but I had to do some real thinking to come up with that one, since I don’t drink beer. Any others you thought of that I fail to remember?

Absolutely. I believe they shortened the seasons a while back to give themselves more time for each episode, and it shows. On subsequent watches, the newer episodes are just as great as the old ones.

How about a spread across genres in no particular order:

Death Note (controversial, considering the ending)

You’re the Worst (underappreciated masterpiece)

Avatar the Last Airbender

The Good Place

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (incomplete, but has maintained a 10)

Breaking Bad, which is worth listing again even though you mentioned it.

I wouldn’t say it’s quiiite there, but honorable mention to Modern Family, which is the best episodic sitcom I can think of. Has some meh moments but starts and ends as a 10.

Some thoughts I have which oppose your argument:

1. A mod can only be expected to be responsible for their own community. It is not reasonable to expect them to know the rules of other communities to know a post applies.

2. Some posts do not have an applicable community. The posts may not have a general place to be sent to.

3. There is no tool I am aware of to allow mods to send posts elsewhere without simply posting from their own account. I’m not sure that the use case here would justify the work needed to create that tool.

4. Removes posts have been determined to be problematic by nature of being deemed to need removal. Is incorrect posting not a problem?

5. When a mod removes a post, they would presumably tell you the rule which was broken. You may be able to adjust the post accordingly and resubmit.

6. Bigger is not necessarily better, and Lemmy may not need a growth advantage. Being hard to use keeps out much of the general population, which I’ve seen suggested as a benefit more than a hindrance.

I’m heading far into the future - say 1000 years or perhaps 100 if communication would be an issue. I’m going to grab all sorts of portable devices and tools to take back with me, and I will maintain the remainder of my life without sharing my goodies. The world is screwed because they get no fruits of my intense labor, but that is fine since I hate them anyway. For that afternoon of work, I get to live a great life while everyone else must suffer in modernity.

The documentary side is going to be completely ignored and you hate to see it. There will be talking in the background about a skyscraper or a ferris wheel, but the drama of the murders and intricate planning therein will surely be the bulk of the movie.

You want to know what’s unethical? Planning and allowing someone close enough to receive an inheritance wait for you to die before you provide them housing. Hopefully I am off base here, but it sounds like they could set you up with this situation now.

It sounds pretty shitty for a landlord to charge enough to support the remainder of their life with the rental of only half of a house, and it sounds like that is the intended plan for you. Just don’t charge so much as to be taking advantage of those without the privilege of inheritance, and you may even be providing value to the renters, as other comments have suggested. Feel good about that.

It’s not a deer/deer single/plural situation with mitochondria, if that is what you are getting at. The word mitochondria is not singular. To replace mitochondria with lion in your analogy doesn’t work because mitochondria is a plural word. Neither “Lions is the king of the jungle” nor “The lions is the king of the jungle” is correct. The singular version of mitochondria is mitochondrion. “The mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell” and “Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell” both work and could be the phrase, just like "The lion is the king of the jungle " and “Lions are the king of the jungle” are both grammatically correct.

My favorite part of the “mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell” memes (especially when cited as useless info being taught in school) is that it’s grammatically incorrect. Mitochondria ARE because the word is plural, and any self respecting biology teacher knows that. The fact that this is cited as something drilled into students minds when people can’t even recite it back properly is hilarious.

No, but that would have been a good one for sure lol

An erotic scene in some 90s blockbuster that I can’t remember the name of. No regrets, just not something I have thought about in years.

That feels like a big stretch. By that logic, you think about what you were looking at during your first wank every time you achieve. And thank the heavens that isn’t true.

Based on your username, I can only assume you are well versed in the topic. It’s from the magic of gamma rays.

You know nothing about me. But of course! Professors have exams. That’s all I needed. Thanks for making it difficult

So you are a college student? Please correct me if I’m not understanding this. You wouldn’t say you are an engineer or a doctor or a lawyer that is still working on their degree, and it feels disingenuous to the scientists in this thread to say you are one if you aren’t doing science but rather taking courses as a student.
