Less often with movies/TV/books than music for me, but I’ll still tear up to a movie or show sometimes if I don’t feel like I’m being beat over the head by the music pushing a feeling than engaged with the story and characters.
you’re high on mushrooms in the Viking age, the gods are everywhere

What does it taste like?

When I see my friends, coworkers, neighbors, community, etc just being awesome to each other. Just little stuff like letting someone else have the last slice of cake, giving someone the rest of the jug of wiper fluid after filling up, returning their carts, apologizing for interrupting or bumping into someone, preventing someone from getting scammed, etc.
First I used was an apple II at the public library mostly just for games like Oregon trail, first I programmed on was in a school library using an IBM PS/2 using Pascal, and first I owned was a Packard bell Pentium 2 family shared computer.

Jordan Did the Impossible — In an era of mounting crises, the "Sinners" star got people off their couches and into cinemas for an original filmEnglish28·4 days agoPhrasing it like theaters are losing audiences due to laziness and not a bad value proposition is nuts to me

(clarification in body)3·4 days agoThere is a lot of garbage out there, but also some really good stuff. I like to stay logged out and clear history occasionally to try to keep from getting too algorithm bubbled. It’s not just automatically filtering content by subject matter, it also filters by length if you watch mostly long form videos you’ll get more long recommendations, and same for short videos. Try using more generic search terms for hobbies, interests, topics, etc you’ll get a little more variety in search results and won’t rely as much on the algorithm to filter recommendations.

I think it’s weird almost nobody picks their own name and people carry their parents or spouse’s name, you’d think something so personal and self identifying you’d want it to be something you prefer or you find fitting based on some preference or personality trait.
whotookkarl@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Java at 30: How a language designed for a failed gadget became a global powerhouseEnglish4·7 days agoIt’s been interesting seeing the changes as they happened over time working with java pretty often for a good chunk of that time. The jvm and jit performance improvements, syntax changes and additional jep features added vs what was left out, tools for running and managing jvms, Sun & Oracle shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly, new jvm languages with scala, groovy, clojure, etc and their impact on java. I prefer other languages and tool chains for some cases, but java has been pretty good for building reliable, upgradable, extendable systems that get the job done & have a good large stable library.

whotookkarl@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•We always imagine personal defense weapons as a hand held point shoot thingy. If anything was possible what alternatives could you think of?6·8 days agoTemporary blinding LED flash weapon, stink bombs, vomiting, reciting the Captain Ahab monologue from Moby Dick where he’s telling them to split their lungs with blood and thunder and crack their oars and backs.

whotookkarl@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you were stuck on a deserted island and coulc only listen to 4 artist music, who would you choose?2·9 days agoAt the gates, com truise, mf doom, amon tobin
whotookkarl@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why did you set an avatar for your profile?2·9 days agoNo reason in particular, i like mad Tom O’bedlam and his god of cities from the invisibles comic based on the 17th century poem/song
whotookkarl@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•how do I know that you guys are real and not bots?1·9 days agoLook at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?
Just like the old fortune teller said!
It gets weird in the gaps; kilts, parachute pants, togas
