That movie was a breath of fresh ass.

Envy (2004)

Is that the one with poo-pourri?

It says something that Kevin James as president was the least believable part of that movie.

It’s the difference between believing the pyramids were built by ancient Egyptian gods, and believing they were built by aliens. It just doesn’t fit the swashbuckling source material the other Indiana Jones movies were built on. Same reason time travel didn’t work as a plot device. It doesn’t fit the genre.

I know almost nothing about the Fast & Furious franchise, for instance, but I’ll bet if aliens made an appearance there it would be met with scorn as well, but they have no problem doing physics-defying scenes all the time.

Discount American DaVinci code was fun both times.

As someone who grew up on Archie comics, that movie NAILED the casting (except for the Cabots, who weren’t really in the film much anyway).

Best live-action anime adaptation of all time.

The first is infinitely re-watchable even with the terrible CGI, but the second one is unwatchable.

George of the Jungle (43%) is still just as fun as it was when I was a kid.

Tookie-tookie!

It starts off interesting and devolves into being even more nonsensical and less rational than the original.

This is a good thought but a bad post for YSK

There’s a difference between linguistic simplicity and color blindness.

Is picking a server/federation too complicated?

Yes, but because 90% of the fediverse is older tech nerds, good luck getting them to acknowledge it.

Didn’t they just fix all of this mess a few weeks ago? Or did that just introduce even more inconsistencies?

Improving my work emails is 99% of what I use ChatGPT for.

undefined> The Library of Alexandria had many unique works of cultural and scientific importance. YouTube is full of mundane content, mostly entertainment.

Are you serious? The vast majority of culturally significant artifacts were, at the time of their creation, mundane and/or entertainment.

Why male models?

What I’ve seen others recommend, and I think would have helped, is the ability to ‘port’ to another instance. So it can just be “Go create an account at lemmy.ml. Don’t worry about the instance, we can always port later if you want”.

I know now it doesn’t really matter (and have accounts with all the big instances) but I agonized over what instance to join at the beginning because I didn’t KNOW it didn’t really matter.

The ‘port’ ability also seems like something that is just a good idea in general, so I believe that to be the best option (that I’ve seen).

undefined> I disagree that it was harder to sign up for.

You are correct, and I misspoke. By ‘harder to sign up for’ I was referring to not just the actual sign up process, but the steps involved before the actual sign-up process (deciding on an instance, which itself requires learning what ‘instance’ means, as well as at least some research into what federation is, and what the differences are between instances).

Nope, that’s nonsense that just reinforces the existing dual party structure.
