For anyone curious on the context, that’s from a blooper. Poor Linus sneezed and his teeth went flying across the room. Sonequa Martin-Green is in front of Pike, just laughing on the floor at this point.

Here be a video. Granted it’s one of the “In Takes”

Not sure how to feel about this lmao

So that you mean that it took a few moments to adjust? Almost like you weren’t going to immediately be able to jump onto the skill instantly and that you needed some more time? Perhaps immediately coming to the conclusion that it is terrible and not worth the time after only a brief experience with the usage of such a thing isn’t the best thing to do. Then again, perhaps calling it crap based off of your own personal experiences when other people in this thread are saying otherwise is a bit narrow minded? Expand your horizons. Let people be people and phrase your opinions as them. Not everything is going to be universal. Live long and prosper, my friend. Have a good day.

Edit: The fact y’all are downvoting this polite message saying “Don’t unilaterally call something shit that others enjoy” says way more about you than it ever could about my comment ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve been told this so many times… I can’t tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing lmao

Lemmy.ml banned me on my Startrek.website account years ago during the height of my posting. Like when I was posting 20 things every hour or two. Why? Posted some Jimmy Neutron meme about Disney having a first gay character and it being the 14th one this month. Title was like “Can always be the first in China at least for a couple minutes” or something along those lines.

From what I heard from some of the people who worked on .ml behind the scenes, they had to reverse the ban because a bunch of people started asking why there was no new content and other people started to realize it was because I had gotten banned.

Have never posted on lemmy.ml since and don’t bother to interact with the instance at all. I don’t have it blocked because not all users are like the admins but like fuck am I ever adding to that shithole ever again. I thought that was the worst I’d ever deal with from admins… and then I started getting personally harassed by the startrek.website admins across multiple websites and basically forgot about lemmy.ml entirely.

Oh honey, there’s more than enough space for a good bitch to do a great job

Considering I live in a fuckin deep freeze, I only need to wait another couple months

“Why is this post in my shitpost community all shitty? How dare they”

So in other words, the documentary was so successful in decrying the rampant hyperconsumption that was accepted in its time, that such rampant is no longer considered acceptable or normal. And on that basis, you consider it to be facile, obvious… “problematic”?

No. It was based off of a lie and people don’t mention that. But sure, invent whatever you want.

Literally nobody references Supersize Me as a “study”. It isn’t, and it hasn’t ever claimed to be

I was literally shown it in school as a teenager while the entire time it was referred to as a study. I’ve also had numerous conversations with people who call it a study. Moreover, my post claimed that people TREAT it as a study. So, yes. People do claim it to be but I never even claimed that they did. You are not an infinite font of knowledge, you don’t know everything.

Whenever you come up with similarly hot takes, the comments always end up being filled with a you offering litany of obtuse bad reasoning.

You’ve made one comment on one of my posts. A post where I said I didn’t like chocolate plugs being introduced at the bottom of ice-cream cones that otherwise have no chocolate there-in. Both you and everyone else in that thread had a fucking meltdown at the concept of an ice-cream cone that had no chocolate anywhere else other than the plug. They exist. I live in Canada. While the meme was talking about Cornettos specifically, I was just generally talking about ice-cream cones. You, however, refused to accept this as possibility. Instead, you acted like your own failed understanding of what was being said as the reality of what was being said. Much like in the comment I’m replying to now, you projected fucking hard and got angry at me over it. It’s boring and a waste of my time.

Your failed grasp at what is being said does not equate to reality. Reply to this or don’t. I don’t care. I’ll never see it.

I’m not saying it was a study, I’m saying people refer to it as one or treat it as one with alarming regularity.

Some people are stupid and they will believe anything that they see on TV. With how this documentary was framed as well, a lot of people just went about their lives assuming it was something that was reviewed and unflawed. There is a reason it was such a big deal when it came out he was an alcoholic during filming. About half of the documentary becomes completely worthless because we now know he was seriously lying during filming about what he was consuming. Which suddenly calls the entire thing into question because if he’s willing to slide on something as major as that, then what is the value of the rest of it?

Hey man, I’m just glad that some people are getting some use out of these posts and I’m not annoying everyone to death. We’ll see how much longer that takes lol

No, I think their point was more the fact that it’s heralded by people as a great study but is massively flawed and with obvious outcomes. There wasn’t really anything stringent done in the documentary. Any impact it had was purely from shit people already knew. He had no controlled experiments and was an active alcoholic during it.

My point, personally, is that people who reference Supersize Me in any capacity as a valid documentary or study is someone who is either uneducated or a fool. There’s little difference in holding this documentary to your chest and referring to it or in doing the same thing to Joe Rogan or Bill Maher’s Religulous. It’s low-effort garbage that’s not made for intellectual consumption but is still used for it anyway.

That’s kinda problematic.

That’s my point.

Try it! Message that to my face on Discord!

I apologize for fucking nothing

There is no way in hell that’s real… but by god do I want it to be.

We just feel differently about how or what memes add to the fediverse. It really is just a difference in philosophy. As far as I’m aware, there are no serious differences. It’s just minor. Rimu and I had a discussion about it a while back and there’s no bad blood or anything, we see things differently on the Fediverse. Rimu, from what I can tell, prefers things to be a bit more conversational and discussion based. I like things to be a blend of discussions and memes. That’s really about it.

No clue. I don’t know Ruben at all, I’ve only talked to him a couple times in passing about Boost bugs. But given the work he does on everything else, I’m just sort of assuming. Dude is a king.

Anytime. Newfoundland is a fuckin awesome place with a weird and unique culture. Love being able to share it.
