Pretty much this. It's why I love it for my use case (microblogging journal that only I can see), but it's definitely not for everyone else.

It's why if your average influencer or news consumer wants a Twitter alternative, it's likely Threads or perhaps BlueSky, not Mastodon.

I must say, these are the types of replies I'd like to see. It allows me to re-examine everything on the incident from another side and possibly form a better take.

In light of Danny Masterson being sentenced to 30 years for rapes, it should be noted that back in 1993, the cult sensation — Beethoven's 2nd — already warned us about him. This predates (no pun intended) the Conan clip making the rounds of late by more than a decade.

Exhibit 1

Seth (Danny Masterson) tries to get George Newton's (Charles Grodin) daughter Ryce out alone ("Say, are you going to be around for a while?") and gets deflated when she says she's actually out looking for someone else.

Exhibit 2

George finally gets to meet Seth. Right off the bat, he's immediately suspicious of him and tries to break the tension by making small talk about his dirt bike. When asked by Ryce what he thinks of Seth, George reacts exactly how I would if questioned what I think about rapists and Scientologists.

Exhibit 3

Seth meets Ryce again by chance on the town fair and asks if she's there with her parents (weird) and attempts to invite her on a "picnic" (mega weird). When Ryce correctly answers that she needs to tell her parents first, Seth whines that they'll just say no because he could tell George has a low opinion of him. He then says that he understands and expects to win him over once he gets to know the real Seth.

Exhibit 4

Despite the movie wrapping things up by setting Seth up as a good guy, George remains wary and dubious of him.

This would be Charles Grodin's final film shoot before taking a long break from acting — only to return in 2004, the same year as Danny Masterson's infamous Conan interview.

Lemmy seriously needs kindergarten-level SEO. None of the communities barely show up on Google.

I watch highlights on YouTube when uploaded. But I stopped watching late night shows a long time ago... ever since Conan left NY. Although that coincides with me finding work and never having the time to watch live (which is around 1pm here). Then streaming became a thing shortly after that and we had to cut cord.

I re-watched Beethoven's 2nd a few weeks ago and everything made sense now.

Charles Grodin was always suspicious of Danny Masterson's character right from the start, up until the very end. Danny also has a weird reaction when Ryce says she was looking for Taylor, knowing his opportunity to introduce her to Scientology was blown.

I can't tell you that. It's confidential. Anyway, how's your clients?

Alan Francisco Rangel of the Sinaloa Red Cross told CNN that paramedics treated the pilot at the crash site in San Pedro, Navolato and then took him to a local hospital, where he died.

We're now a step closer to making dogs with BBs in their mouths and when they bark they shoot BBs at you.

I haven't been using Wordpad for 20+ years. Notepad could do everything it does already. Then, you also have Firefox's built-in inspect to tinker with code on the fly.

Does Lemmy count as social media?? lol

Iron Man 3.

Led us to believe Ben Kingsley was going to be a badass villain only to be revealed that he was an actor.

This was one of our favorite movies as kids, and my brother and I would always make jokes referencing it.

"Take two of these and call me in the morning! Mwahahahahaha!"

I haven't seen it in full, but I do remember it creating a bit of controversy with the cookie dongs and kids. Some critics didn't find it funny at all.

A zoo in China has denied allegations that its bears are actually humans wearing elaborate costumes after images of the animals standing up on two legs went viral online. The Hangzhou Zoo in eastern China explained on its social media account on Monday that sun bears from Malaysia are smaller and look different to other ursine species, but that they are definitely real animals and not people. “Because of the way they stand, some people online question whether they are ‘humans in disguise,’” the Hangzhou Daily newspaper reported. An employee at the zoo told The Associated Press that visits were being arranged for journalists to see the bears on Monday. Other zoos have previously faced allegations of dyeing dogs’ fur to make them look like wolves and attempting to pass off painted donkeys as zebras.
