A cult is basically just a religion that is not large or old enough to force people to take it seriously. It just so happens that small, new religions are also extremely volatile and unstable and prone to extremely stupid decisions

I guess technically, but the LLM doesn't have access to anything, so the only real consequence would be an inaccurate summary

Lodge 49, Lodge 49, Lodge 49! Probably one of my top 5 shows in the last decade. Every single review I have ever seen both professional and rando cannot stop raving about it, but still nobody watched it. I think mostly because it's kind of hard to describe and doesn't fit cleanly into any particular box.

Only downside is that it suffered a pretty sudden cancellation after season 2 was shot, so there is no satisfying resolution. Although Wyatt Russell has said repeatedly that he'd drop absolutely any project for a chance to revive it

Yeah, easier IMO

This one is clearly sarcastic...

#1 and 3, definitely, although 3 is usually not really the IDEs fault.

The others, either not really (#2, 5), who cares, (#4), or maybe occasionally but not really specific to IDEs (#6).

Cauliflower ear is pretty manly I guess

I didn't even know there were user avatars. Most common apps don't show them.

I don't think I understand the question. People invented it?

It's definitely very Tumblr, that's for sure

Yeah, again, I'm not saying that's not a thing, man. Just that's not what carrot vs stick metaphor is about

While this is definitely a thing from cartoons, the carrot/stick thing is absolutely referring to hitting the donkey. The whole point is punishment vs reward...

 

First of all, thank you so much for all your work! This is definitely a way better experience than the web client. And thanks for adding community blocking, so now I don't have to go back for that feature.

I like to keep pretty huge categories of communities out of my feed entirely. But, I also want to be aware of what other communities of interest might be out there, especially now while the Lemmy landscape is evolving so quickly. So the strategy of only ever browsing subs and foregoing All entirely doesn't really work.

But, as I've seen other people highlighting in other posts, federation also means that the number of redundant communities across instances is huge. I don't just have to block all the political communities, I have to block them everywhere we're federated with. My block-list is already gigantic and I don't anticipate the need to block communities going away soon.

It'd be a much smoother experience if Block Community was an option directly in the three-dot menu of an individual post, instead of having to leave my feed, go through another menu, and go back every time.
