“Over the Top” is free on youtube, btw:

So whoever carries that anime figure is literally Luciferian.

I suspect the thought process was more contemptuous than sinister. Like: “the voice actors are getting fan mail?!? HA!”

Here’s the original twitter post via an interface:

Man I would not mess with anime fans. The guy voiced Hannes on AoT, and the meme potential is frightening.

Gotta make that cheddar.

The response was that they couldn’t stay operating if they paid everyone for being on call instead of us “supporting the company”.

That’s the heart of the matter. They wanted you to support the company, without the company supporting you.

The cross pattée has many heraldic uses, but this is more like an “x marks the spot” like on a treasure map.

Bigod 20 - The Bog

I didn’t; I made the chart almost a year ago, click on the link above it to see the 11-month-old comment.

Lemmy had around 1000 active users for the first half of 2023.

I was expecting to start the batton running, and pass it off to the next idea, or the continuation of the idea.

I think I see what you’re saying. Lemmy is indeed a place where it’s very easy to get involved, and people get involved in different ways. A lot of us just pick a community and start posting regularly. Some of us adopt dormant communities and bring them back to life. Others contribute by becoming mods or admins or setting up their own instances or debugging/coding. Even those people who were giving you reasons why the “transfer your account easily” project was difficult, they were helping you by telling you the challenges involved. Whenever a well-run project is started, you think about the hurdles, risks, and mitigations, then integrate those into your project plan.

I encourage you to keep getting involved. The trick is to find the right level of involvement for you, then sticking with it and seeing it through.

What I do to get around that is: subscribe to communities that are not memes, news, or tech, then read new posts by “subscribed” and “scaled”. When I run out of those, read “all” to find new communities to subscribe to.

I’m like: “I only have a work phone, I can’t do things like that on it.”

So there’s one approach to fortune-telling where you convince them that you have some magical ability to figure out their secrets, and then you use cold-reading techniques to trick them into thinking you have mystic powers.

But there’s a better approach where you give someone an open-ended set of symbols, and you use those to help the person think through the issues in their life. You’re giving them the opportunity to reflect on things from a new perspective.

• a Tarot card might have symbols for “loss in worldly matters” and be in a position that represents their past
• another card might have symbols for “an older person, very patient” and be in a position that represents their current circumstances
• another card might have symbols for “the end of a time of plenty” and be in a position that represents the conflict of their current circumstances
• another card might have symbols for “gain through cooperation” and be in a position that represents their future

So you talk to the person and describe what each card means, and they think about how it applies to their life. They might ask questions like: “does ‘loss in worldly matters’ mean money?” and you say “sure, it can, or it can mean something else like being reprimanded at work.” and they might say “oh, I think in my case it means (whatever).” And then you can think together how that applies to the rest of the reading. People have a lot of things going on in their lives, things can just slip by, and this gives them a chance to step back and think it all over.

Maybe he can get a bot to do time for him.

“LL Cool J is hard as HELL!” Yeah, I was starvin like Marvin for a Cool J song. Got to listen to 6 Minutes of Pleasure next.

I watched that gif like 10 times, hypnotized, until I even noticed the bottle-top coming off.

At last, more content suitable for cross-posting to !mullets@lemmy.ca.

[12] And on the third day, Ted rose from the ashes.

[13] And there was a great consternation and much amazement among the humans as Ted did walk among them, proclaiming with meows and with postures:

[14] “Where is my food, Cecil and Emily? For until a cat has decided to leave, they should still be considered among you.”
