Me, yelling at the asshole that ruined my life

Yeah, this is one of the major plot holes in Zombie/Apocalypse movies.

You always have scenes of people siphoning gas from abandoned cars years later and it just wouldn't work.

Ready to use gasoline can't last a year, even when stored in ideal circumstances. Crude oil even has a shelf life of only so many years.

It's one more reason everything's going electric. Much easier and safer to sort out electrical storage long term than gasoline.

I definitely miss old Reddit, but it's definitely dead now.

Used to be my go-to scrolling every day. After they screwed 3rd party apps I found Lemmy and love it. There was an obscure open source Reddit app that used scraping that was still working so I'd been using Lemmy and Reddit about 50/50. Nice thing was the Reddit app kept me logged out with no engagement so I wasn't feeding the beast.

The other day all those little scraping Reddit apps finally died. Just useless. So fuck em I guess. If I ever need a more real-time larger user base I can go on desktop for it, but there is no mobile Reddit option (including offical) that's even remotely usable now.

Can't believe how much better the Lemmy experience is, even with its shortcomings. My only issue has been that the desktop web access feels rough. It also stinks not having the benefits of centralized storage. With Reddit I could bookmark anything and everything of interest in something like Raindrop.io and go see it any time months later. With Lemmy things often seem to be gone in days or weeks, or an instance will just be formatted horribly on desktop.

Still more convenient than Reddit and I hope the dev efforts keep polishing things up! 👍

My girlfriend and I saw Fall Guys and it's a great movie!

We originally stumbled upon the Parmount Plus series "Action" about the modern history of Hollywood stunts and loved it. It follows the company that made the John Wick movies, same people made Fall Guy.

The show actually had behind the scenes for Fall Guy stunts pre-release and it was wicked cool. I think part of the flop is from bad marketing. I'd wager nobody knows that show exists and their trailers DO NOT make it clear that all the stunts are practical.

The whole movie is meant to be an homage to classic stunts and they actually broke the record for a car roll. I think if they'd found a clever way to showcase all that intention with the marketing a lot more people would have seen it.

It's 100% cool to not care about "rap beef".

The reason this stuff is in the news is because Kendrick is a very influential artist calling out patterns of child abuse and sexual assault in the industry.

Yes, it all came to light through "diss tracks", but a lot of the accused behavior has been publicly visible for years and simply ignored.

It's getting media attention because the world has seen people abuse their fame so many times and we still let it happen. Now a modern artist is emphasizing that the most famous "rapper" is an offender and that the industry has these problems everywhere.
