Fun fact: While shooting this scene, Peter Jackson wanted Sir Christopher Lee to scream. However, Lee corrected Jackson: “Have you any idea what kind of noise happens when somebody’s snuck up on by a tree? Because I do.”
The Shakespeare veteran then proceeded to give an in-depth summary of the Battle of Dunsinane.
Because the youth group was serving it with free donuts—it’s pretty much the reason I went. To be fair, they were really nice; it was just a bizarre experience. I didn’t realize you could just inherit a church and declare yourself a pastor without any formal training.
After looking up how much money my local megachurch took in last year ($60 mil) versus how much they spent on charity ($3 mil), I think you were probably justified.
When I was a freshman in college, I let this youth group convince me to visit their weird church. The “pastor” was a young guy who spent the entire sermon talking about how he squandered his time in college before eventually dropping out. Fortunately, the old pastor took pity on him and gave him a job as an assistant—running errands, cleaning, etc. Then one day the old pastor died, so our hero basically just took over since no one else wanted to.
When it was done he tried to sell us bags of stale coffee.
Surely this AAA-budget live service game with a terrible premise won’t faceplant immediately and force us to close the studio…but let’s make it an MMO, just to be safe.
But they were all of them deceived, for another handmaiden was made…
Does the potion have a wait-list and cost $350 per draught?
Sounds like a rogue black hole
You’re not old until the music you don’t consider old becomes old.
I had to dissect a bunch of things in high school: a frog, a pig fetus, a cow heart, a cat… I’m still not entirely sure what the intent was. “Yup, the brain is in the right spot. Always good to check, just in case.”
If they want to teach kids knife skills they should do so in home ec. At least make something edible.

Sorry, best we can do is a premium (expensive) ad-free tier that still advertises our own products.

I have mixed feelings. On one hand, Lemmy seems to be finding its groove, and I genuinely feel like I’m part of a growing community. But there’s definitely something missing, and it’s difficult to put into words.
On Reddit, I tended to frequent specific subs, and rarely doomscrolled the front page. But that’s all I find myself doing on Lemmy. Most of my feed is either politics or memes, and nuanced discussion seems rare. New communities apparently have a hard time getting off the ground, and I think it’s mostly because decentralization makes discovery a hastle.
Reddit’s whole purpose is to aggregate content from other websites, whilst providing a central access point. This is antithetical to the very concept of the Fediverse, which is all about decentralization. I find myself wishing for an easy way to aggregate Fediverse content, so that I could access Lemmy, Beehaw, Kbin, etc. all in one place, regardless of whether they’re federated. Really, all the drama surrounding instances federating/defederating is obnoxious as an end user.
The apps are certainly better, though, and in general I’m enjoying myself.
LinkedIn reminds me of that scene in Men in Black where they discover a weird little society living inside a locker. But instead of a locker, it’s a job board.
‘Tem’ + ‘plate’ is the British pronunciation.
I was a kid when the Star Wars prequels came out. One Halloween there was this clone trooper costume that I just had to have. Unfortunately, I was too fat and tall for my age, so the costume was a tight fit. So much so that you could see my tighty whities through the black spandex.
Of course, that didn’t stop me from wearing it to school and feeling like the most badass rolley polley trooper in the 501st.
Will the real SLLM Shady please stand up?
